In case you were wondering how to round out your holiday shopping with iPhone accessories and add-ons, PC Magazine just released their list of the best complements to the Apple iPhone in their list of the Top 10 iPhone Accessories.

Since there's no clear indication of what the criteria were for making the list, chances are these are just the editor's favorites. Either way, they might give you the inspiration you need to choose the right present or stocking stuffer for the iPhone junkie on your list.

Here is a summary of what made the list from PC Magazine, in no particular order:

According to a post earlier this morning on Engadget, a number of O2 iPhone owners in the UK are complaining of significant issues with reception. According to the article, users who are having problems are failing to get service/reception in areas where other O2 phones (non-iPhones) are showing strong signal strength.

The last year has seen a great deal of speculation about Google introducing a mobile phone onto the market. In the last few months, it has become fairly clear that Google would not in fact be releasing a mobile phone - but instead was creating an open source mobile phone operating system that would integrate fully with Google's existing services and offer developers the ability to create a wide array of applications for mobile phones.

A few days ago, Gizmodo posted a video of a Saturday Night Live iPhone sketch that never aired. I'm sure you've all seen the latest iPhone campaign where "random" street goers testify in front of a black backdrop about how the iPhone has changed their lives. Saturday Night Live evidently produced a sketch based on this ad campaign, but it never aired as it was cut due to another sketch running long. If you haven't yet seen the sketch, it's kind of humorous.

If you don't find punching cops or methamphetamines funny, you might want to skip it.

Though we've been well aware of ShieldZone's free domestic shipping policy for all invisibleSHIELD mobile phone screen protectors, including the iPhone and iPod Touch, the good news is that this extends beyond US shores. ShieldZone (Zagg Inc.) is offering free shipping to the UK, France, Germany, and all over Europe. In fact, international shipping is free, period.

The invisibleSHIELD is made from a revolutionary material used to protect digital devices from scratches and wear and tear. Due to the shield's toughness and application ease, it is viewed by many to be the best screen protectors on the market. More specifically, according to ShieldZone,

The invisibleSHIELD is the toughest, most durable gadget scratch protection film available on planet Earth. The film has its origins in the U.S. military, where it was used to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades from wear and tear while traveling hundreds of miles per hour. Our proprietary film is a clear, urethane plastic (invisible, invincible) with unique properties that allow it to provide self-healing qualities and unparalleled abrasion resistance.

But don't take their word for it, read our in-depth review of the invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Though international orders shipped freely won't include tracking information offered on orders shipped within the US, the important part is that there will be no charge. Regardless of the number of protectors ordered, the free shipping policy remains intact.

Of course, free shipping applies to invisibleSHIELD protectors order directly through ShieldZone.
