You don't need an image or to subclass the cell. Simply do something like the following when creating the cell in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:

            cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
            cell.selectedBackgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

If you sub-class UITableViewCell, you can modify its highlighted and selected UI behavior by overriding following methods.

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated;

For example:

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated];
    if (highlighted) {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    } else {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }
}

UIImageView *selectedBackground = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
        selectedBackground.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
        [cell setSelectedBackgroundView:selectedBackground];

you can try something like this

You could try setting the cells' selectedBackgroundView.image, per this tutorial. That would give you the option of creating a nice gradient-based selection image, too.
