Each time you buy a new phone, there’s a whole host of different mobile phone accessories you need to keep it safe and sound. These range from protection to useful items. With so many different accessories on the market, you can get confused between the essential ones and the optional, yet extremely useful, ones.
Why do you need mobile phone accessories?
We can think of hundreds of reasons as to why any smartphone user needs a variety of accessories. These range from accessories to keep your phone safe to items to make your experience smoother. Of course, different accessories have different functions. For example, phone cases protect your phone from accidental drops whilst charging cables make sure you’ve got the ability to stay connected all day. Each different accessory is a great option to keep safe, just in case.
Mobile phone accessories can even help extend the life of any smartphones. By extending the life of your phone, you can save a HUGE amount of money in the future. Whether you’re looking to sell your phone on or keep going with the same phone, you’ll be able to stay smart with your money. The better condition your phone is in when you come to trade it in, the more money you’ll get for the phone. You’ll also be able to sell it to your friends and family for more money. In the long run, investing some money can get you more money.
Should you not want to trade your device in or sell it to someone else, you will be able to save money by switching over to a SIM only contract. These are a lot cheaper as you don’t have to worry about paying for a new phone. You’re simply paying for the data, texts and minutes. You can use this with your old phone, as it should still be in great condition. This way, you can extend a phone that was due to last 2 years to far longer. You may need to replace the battery at some point but this is far cheaper than paying for an entire phone contract.
Phone Cases
Mobile phone cases are one of the most important accessories for any smartphone. By this, we don’t mean the plastic cases that snap on to give your phone a different finish. The most protective mobile phones are the drop test certified, silicone cases. People often believe that protective phone cases mean you miss out on a whole lot of style however, that’s just not the case. You’re able to find a huge range of styled, protective cases. There are also plain cases for those who want them.
Our range of phone cases are built with multiple different shock absorbing materials. These will disperse the shock from drops between the layers, making sure there’s little impact to the insides of your phone. When you drop your phone without a case, you’re affecting the actual insides of the phone. Overtime, this results in a decreased battery life, much slower speeds and so much more. Any shock absorbing case will make sure the insides of the phone are protected from this as much as possible.
Screen Protectors
Whilst phone cases are important to keep the insides of your phone case, screen protectors will help reduce damage to the screen. Whether you’re looking for protection from grease, chips or cracks, screen protectors do the job. There are two major types of screen protectors, one far more protective than the other for only slightly more. Plastic screen protectors aren’t going to reduce damage from chips, scratches or any damage other than dust. They aren’t built to help in this way. If you want something to reduce against this kind of damage, you’ll want a glass screen protector.
Tempered glass screen protectors are brilliant against reducing the impact of the screen. This essentially adds a second layer of glass to your phone, taking most of the damage when dropped. Investing in a few glass screen protectors during your contract will save you the cost of having to completely replace your screen. There are so many more perks to choosing this kind of protector too. You don’t have to worry about any air bubbles when putting it onto your screen, they don’t peel off over time, meaning you only have to replace them if they crack and they have chip resistant edges.
Different Chargers
Of course, when you receive your mobile phone, you’ll get a factory standard charger included. Sometimes, people may need more than one charger though. This can be helpful if you bounce between two houses or even keep one at work. Keeping a spare charger in your car can also help when you’re on the go. Over the years, it’s also common for chargers to slowly deteriorate. By having a spare charger, you won’t have to worry about rationing your mobile use until a new one arrives.
Whilst having a spare cable is a fantastic idea, you don’t always have access to mains inputs or any other electricity source. Investing in a portable charging bank is going to save you in those inevitable moments. You’ll be able to pop your phone on charge, on the go, and make sure you’re able to stay connected when it’s most important. There are also a huge range of further accessories to keep you connected on the go. These include a huge range of car chargers. The worst time to lose battery is whilst you’re travelling with little knowledge of where you’re going. With our car chargers, this is no longer an issue.
Anyone who likes something a little more high tech, there’s a huge range of wireless charging accessories available too. This can make your life far easier if you’re constantly in a rush. All you need to do is pop your phone on the tile and go about your morning tasks. There’s no need to faff around, trying to plug the phone in. You can simply grab your phone as soon as you shoot out the door.
Whilst this isn’t where the list of amazing mobile phone accessories stops, these are some of the most popular ones to purchase when you get a new phone. Make sure to take a look at our entire accessories range to find your perfect match.
