With so many options, it's easy to find something to suit individual taste and style.

Function and Style

When shopping for a cell phone case, consider the amount of protection that will be required. For optimum protection, choose an enclosed case that fits tightly around the outside of the phone, protecting its edges and back. For protection that showcases the design of the phone, choose a bumper style case with a clear shield to protect the back of the phone. There are also cases with slim profiles, making it easy to fit even large phones into a pocket.To express personal style, choose a case with a favorite color or design. There are numerous cases available that protect from bumps and scratches while showcasing a user's individual tastes.

Specialty Cases

When looking for cell phone accessories, note that there are a number of different types of specialty cases that will protect a phone no matter what the environment. If you go jogging or work out at the gym, consider an armband case to hold your phone in place and protect it from excessive movement. If you like extended hikes or travel into areas with a lot of moisture and dirt, choose a sleeve case that will provide an impenetrable enclosure for the phone.If you need to keep a cell phone at the ready without having to fumble for it in a pocket or bag, select a case with an attached belt clip. If you often need to charge your phone while on the go, look for a case with a built-in battery that will extend the use time of your phone when an outlet or charger is unavailable. If you need an all-in-one solution for carrying a cell phone and other small items, choose a folio case that offers compartments for items such as credit cards.

Added Protection

For added protection, make sure to use a screen protector. Screen protectors can either be purchased separately, or can be incorporated as part of an all-in-one case design. Also, using accessories such as Bluetooth® cell phone headsets expose your phone to less physical contact, thus potentially helping to preserve the life of the phone.
