I'm going to upgrade to the 64 GB iPhone 6 when I can. Even though I suspect I'll fill The space up rather quickly, I have a device by Kingston called the MobileLite Wireless which I can shove overflow media ontoo. It's a little device that excepts SD cards and USB sticks. You can then use it's built in wireless to stream whatever media you want to your iPhone. It needs a companion app to work with the stuff that's stored on the SD cards and USB sticks, but the app works quite well with VoiceOver. When I bought it, it was $40. The reason I preferred this solution over some of the other options for external iPhone storage is that I can supply my own size of SD card or USB stick. Also, the storage fails, I'm most likely out just an SD card or USB stick rather then out an entire device. Also, this device was cheaper than many of the other options with built in storage space, and if you already have an SD card or USB stick lying around, you're good to go.
