What would you do with $110 (not billion) dollars!

Apple just announced they have $117 billion dollars in the bank. We can't give you that much -- sorry, we'd love to! -- but we can give you a $117 gift certificate for the iMore Accessory Store to spend on whatever you like! Need a case for your new iPad and a charger for your iPhone? We got you. Itching for one of those iSuper Helicopters? You got it! Want to grab some screen protectors and throw in an olloclip to make your pictures even more awesomer? Go for it! To enter, just head on over to store.imore.com, figure out what you'd buy, and post the links to whatever it is that would set your heart aflutter below. We'll pick a winner the first week of August. Good luck!

Michelle Haag

I would definitely get the Mophie Juice Pack Plus for my iPhone 4S!

http://store.imore.com/mophie-juice-pack-plus/8A37A7976.htm

Been dying to get one for sometime now. I use my iPhone for pretty much everything. Doesn't matter if I'm at home or at work, it's going all the time. Messaging, emails, banking, Web browsing, notes, maps... all day long. I charge up probably 2 to 3 times a day. Would be awesome to only have to charge up once at the end of the day when I get home!

grberry says:

This would help when my wife buys her new Iphone 5. I could buy her a case or something for it lol. Thanks for the opportunity!!! Keeping all the fingers crossed.

MacBookBuddy says:

I would go for a high quality screen protector or pack, a battery case, cool looking skin, a heavy duty case, and slim fitting case all for the iPhone 4S! :)

Tyrannusrex says:

http://store.imore.com/lifeproof-case/4A104A11481.htm

I've broken soo many iPhone4s at the beach because of water and sand.. This would help alleviate the pain of yet another waterlogged iPhone.

Thanks for the opportunity!!!

youthieguy says:

I just started running so I need a pair of these http://store.imore.com/motorola-s9-hd-bluetooth-stereo-headphones/9AA414...

But I am really into photography so maybe I would get this http://store.imore.com/olloclip-lens-system/219A220A10835.htm in red of course.

Maybe I would just get both and pay the difference.

pr_boy08 says:

So that my iPhone has a little bit better treatment than my car cup holder I'd get this bad boy! Also would allow me to hold another drink in my car... YES!
http://store.imore.com/arkon-weighted-friction-style-dash-mount-and-hold...
And for my passionate hate for cold weather... This would be absolutely loved.. so so much..

iSight says:

I'd buy a Mophie Juice Pack or some fancy thingy. I'm really indecisive, so it could actually take days before I decide what I'd buy :L

InitialR says:

Ohhhhhh! I'd definitely buy an olloclip! I remember asking Georgia about it a little while ago on Twitter. She took some amazing shots with it! Do want!

http://store.imore.com/olloclip-lens-system/219A220A10835.htm

awil26 says:

As a biker, I'd get this and the belt clip. With this case I could feasibly attach the phone to my handlebars, utilizing GPS and camera features with little concern about dirt and dust!

kidkamel says:

I would get The Qmadix Portfolio with Removable Bluetooth Keyboard for my wife's iPad. She deserves something nice.

babyblues197669 says:

Winning these would help shorten my want list! :)

i am into photography and what could be better for me than olloclip.

jquinto says:

If iMore would give me the opportunity to win this prize I'd go and get two LifeProof armbands:
http://store.imore.com/lifeproof-armband--swimband/4A150A11487.htm

or get two rockin' Bluetooth headphones like the Motorola S9-HD:
http://store.imore.com/motorola-s9-hd-bluetooth-stereo-headphones/9A115A...

or its newer (but cheaper) sibling, the Motorola S10-HD:
http://store.imore.com/motorola-motorokr-s10hd-bluetooth-stereo-headphon...

...and cover the extra amount over $117.

Why two of each? I'd share my blessing with my girl (if I win!), that's why. :-)

But definitively I would go for an iSuper Helicopter Large http://store.imore.com/isuper-helicopter-large/216A217A9539.htm since those $117 are a gift, lets go for something I don't need but certainly use (I hope to be able to play with it once before my kids gets their hands on it).

I'd love to get the MOTOROKR S10HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, these would help me so much on my day to day, as im sitting in front of a laptop for over 10 hours a day, and itll be great if i had this device to listen to music and make calls on the go http://store.imore.com/motorola-motorokr-s10hd-bluetooth-stereo-headphon...

http://store.imore.com/isuper-helicopter-large/216A217A9539.htm

Easy choice. This would be used to terrorize my wife/family/neighbor kids/neighbor animals. All if a safe and funny manner of course. Perhaps a camera would be mounted on this thing and the footage would be shared on YouTube.

nickpthemft says:

Totally could use a new speaker dock. I'm using an Altec Lansing inMotion from about 2006, and it doesn't charge, and has massive interference with my iPhone. $117 would put me mighty close to any number of awesome options :)

TheBiggmann says:

Any OlloClip would be great! My roommate destroyed my point and shoot so that would go a little ways in replacing it!

Bcloutier says:

With $117 I'd probably buy a Lifeproof case for my iPhone 4S and an accessory to compliment it. Something like the case itself (http://store.imore.com/lifeproof-case/4A104A11481.htm) and the bike mount for days downhill biking (http://store.imore.com/lifeproof-bike-and-bar-mount/3A102A11486.htm). Would be great not to worry about my iPhone anymore!

AirAaron says:

Okay time to be honest. This is what I'd like to get for my iPhone 4 http://store.imore.com/mophie-juice-pack-plus/8A37A7976.htm

Now here's the reasons why. I do basically everything with my phone. Sleep with it (under my pillow), drive with it, eat with it and even poop with my iPhone in hand. And I'd love to not have to charge it as often, because lets face it who wants to charge there iPhone when they could be sitting on the toilet with it instead?

Oh and I'd use the left over money towards getting my iPad 2 a keyboard.

dacmcbibs says:

I would totally go after one of these ... http://store.imore.com/isuper-helicopter-large/216A217A9539.htm

or.... something for my girlfriends phone... but that seems so much less fun ;)

AnAppleADay says:

I would buy a bike mount attachment for my iPhone for my mountain bike. That and if there is enough leftover a backpack/case for my iPad :) ps... Pick me please! Thx

ZOFOURTWENTY says:

http://store.imore.com/mophie-juice-pack-air/8A37A7982.htm I really need one of these guys. Carrying my charger around and then looking for an outlet in a safe place where I can walk away from my phone is getting tiresome. Especially when I'm in a bar or at the ballpark

gods84 says:

Anyway to use it as a credit for accessories in the fall? haha. iPhone 5 when it comes out the new size is gonna have all diff sizes and I don't have the iPhone 4S but I'm definitely switching from blackberry come the release on September 21st!

caropinzon says:

http://store.imore.com/olloclip-lens-system/219A220A10835.htm

A good photo now depends on creativity and a good eye because of cameras like the one the iPhone. Not a $2000 Canon or Nikon + Lenses! I wish to enhance my iPhone 4s' camera with this great lens system.

Purple4 says:

I would buy a new iPad case for my new iPad, car chargers for ipad and iphone and a car charger for my iphone and if I had something left over I would get a screen protector for my iphone 4s.

Turbo_lemon says:

I cant link to any products as the only thing I would want would be stuff for my new ipad mini once it gets released! I have way to many accessories for all my other stuff already!

offetoffe says:

I would definately but this (http://store.imore.com/jawbone-jambox/9A147A9122.htm) Of course need to add a few bucks..
