Custom Cellphone Cover
Waterproof Cellphone Case
Think of these cases as flexible armor for phones, protecting them from drops, bumps and scratches. The name OtterBox refers to the waterproofing ability of some of the cases. Most cost $20 to $50.
Screen Protector
As phone screens expand, people are investing more in ways to protect them. Stick-on films like Zagg's Invisible Shield are a popular option. 3M makes a version that reduces visibility from side onlookers and cuts down glare. $12 to $25.
Thumb Protectors
Much has been said about "BlackBerry Thumb," the painful ailment that affects frequent BlackBerry typists. These $8 "AweThumb" slip-ons aim to reduce finger stress and improve accuracy while typing on BlackBerry-type keyboards.
Touch-Screen Gloves
Apple's sleek iPhone can get downright frigid in cold temperatures. These "dots gloves" are designed to let users navigate the iPhone's touchscreen while keeping fingers warm. $15 to $20.
Bluetooth Headset
Bluetooth headsets abound, particularly now that several states have passed hands-free driving laws. This one, the H15 from Motorola, features background noise cancellation and an unusual flip design. Users open the toggle to talk and close to preserve the battery. $80 to $100.
Bluetooth Car Speaker
Bluetooth doesn't just link cellphones and headsets. It can also connect earpieces to standalone speakers like this model from Jabra. When paired with a cellphone, the speaker allows drivers to voice-dial numbers, mute calls and place calls on hold.
Battery Charger
Even the best cellphones often disappoint when it comes to battery life. Portable chargers enable charging on the go using regular AA batteries.
Armband
Athletic types can ensure they won't miss a call by toting their phones in an armband. iPhone owners can even take their handsets swimming with this $70 armband from H2O Audio.
Straps, Charms and Stickers
Low-cost accessories like cellphone straps and charms are the cheapest, easiest way to personalize a handset. The Japanese e-tailer Strapya World carries jewel, food and cartoon-themed mobile accessories, mostly for a few dollars. (They ship overseas.) Just make sure your phone has a hole for attaching an accessory--not all do.
Cellphone Wipes
Phones are germ magnets. Keep your handset clean with treated wipes or special cloths. A box of 24 Cleen Cell wipes is $8 on Amazon Source:forbes.com
