href="http://mashable.com/2010/05/30/matching-iphone-ipad-cases/">snazzy case</a>, for example -- there are companies out there that have taken the concept to the extreme.Here we take a light-hearted look at 10 totally unnecessary iPhone accessories that only the true gadget-addict would consider a good investment.Have a laugh as you wander through the gallery, and let us know any kooky iPhone add-ons you've spotted in the comments below.
