Charge and sync an iPhone 5 or fifth-generation iPod touch with the compact -- not to mention very stylish -- Belkin Charge and Sync Dock.

You can also listen to music by hooking up headphones or speakers to the auxiliary port on the dock.

This is a very solid, durable dock. The only downside is that you must use the Lightning cable that came with your Apple device with this dock as the cable is not included.

Price: $29.99.
