Gift Ideas if You Already Have Android, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry

Stumped about what to give someone who's hooked on a smartphone or tablet computer? Think accessories. Accessories can offer added functionality, protection and sometimes fashion to mobile devices. And choices abound beyond Bluetooth headsets for hands-free calling.

Makers rolled out hundreds of accessories this year, some designed for a specific model, such as a fitted case for an Android phone or an Apple iPad tablet, while others can be used with any number of products.

Options for the gift-giving season:

Protection and personalization

Skins : GelaSkins ($14.95 to $29.95; gelaskins.com) are high-quality covers that affix to a digital device to give it flair. There are hundreds of different designs and free matching wallpaper to download and display behind the phone's icons. A percentage of each sale goes to the artist. You can upload your own design to create a custom, one-of-a-kind skin. Skins can be removed and reapplied. How-to videos are available on the website.
