3 must-have accessories for your smartphone







From the stylish to the practical, we’ve found the best smartphone accessories to protect your device, recharge it, and otherwise enhance your mobile lifestyle.

Phonedevil Magic Screen:-
If you’re the type to carelessly throw your phone into your bag, a screen protector is an essential investment. Relatively inexpensive, a screen protector’s clear film fits your phone’s screen to a T, guarding it from scratch-inducing elements. Trust me, it’s heartbreaking to find a giant scratch across your brand new iPhone 3GS. I found plenty of different of screen protectors on the market, but Phonedevil’s Magic Screens are my favorite. They’re easy to apply, require no cutting, and come with a cleaning cloth and a smoothing card to prevent air bubbles.
You can pick from three different editions: Clear, Mirror, and Privacy. Mirror Edition gives your screen a mirror effect when the phone is off, and it looks quite stylish. The Privacy edition uses special 3M material to prevent unwanted onlookers from viewing your screen; the screen appears turned off if you’re not looking at it head-on—a clever concept that works very well.
Phonedevil Magic Screens are currentlly available only for the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but the company’s site indicates that Phonedevil will soon add BlackBerry-compatible models.
These stylish and practical gadgets can enhance your mobile lifestyle,

BodyGuardz from NLU Products:-
If you’re looking for all-over scratch protection, but don’t want the extra bulk of a case, check out BodyGuardz from NLU Products. The transparent scratch-resistive skins protect not only your smartphone’s screen, but also the spines and back cover. BodyGuardz are available for a wide-array of smartphone models including the Nokia N97, the BlackBerry Tour, the Palm Pre, and many others.
BodyGuardz require a little more work (and patience) to apply than Phonedevil’s Magic Screens, but the instructions are still very straightforward. I recommend working in a clean, quiet environment, as the film is quite sensitive to dust and installing it requires your complete attention. If you do screw up your first time around, you get another try: BodyGuardz includes a second skin in the package. But the hard work is worth it: When correctly applied, your phone is not only completely protected, but the film makes it look newer and cleaner, too.

Belkin TuneBase FM With Hands-Free:-
If you spend a lot of time commuting in your car, the Belkin TuneBase FM with Hands-Free is an excellent companion to make those miles fly by. The TuneBase FM plugs into the DC outlet in your car and uses Belkin’s ClearScan technology to detect the station with the clearest signal (from 88.1MHz to 107.9MHz) to play your music. If that station’s reception changes as you travel, you simply hit the ClearScan button and the TuneBase will find a better station.
The hands-free feature allows you to answer calls while you drive without having to physically pick up the phone. Not only is this a convenient feature, but a safe one as well. The calls come in over your car’s speakers while the iPhone’s microphone picks up your voice.
