Although there are a lot of apps which give you hundreds of iPhone or iPad backgrounds, mostly only a few are really nice and seldom useable for a longer period. They get boring. In my opinion a neutral background is far more appealing and far less disturbing, and thus lasts longer. And since I like fooling around ... on the iPhone with some photo-manipulation apps ;-) I created some images which I think are really good backgrounds.
Below you'll find a screenshots of my home-screen, with the various backgrounds in use. When you hover your mouse over these iPhone home screens, it reveals a part of the background that has been used. If you see borders on the original image, but not on the iPhone home screen background, it is because I scaled the image up (use two fingers) when I chose the image from Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Camera Roll, and picked the center of the scaled image.
The first image is what really surprised me: a plain white image and despite its lack of everything, it still looks great as a background, just because of the mask that Apple uses. Great mask!
