Great ways to dress up your Cell Phone

One of the best things about today's new cell phones is that they are easy to personalize with cell phone accessories. In the article we will explain the different products available to make your cell phone your own.

Cell Phone Covers:
Cell phone covers are usually the easiest way to add your own personal touch to your phone. Covers are also known as faceplates but differ from the faceplates of years ago. Now cell phone covers are usually a simple two piece product that snaps onto the outside of the cell phone without the need for tools. With older faceplates the phone actually had to be taken apart to install a faceplate.

Cell phone covers are great because they not only help you add a personal touch to your phone but they also provide valuable protection for the phone. They protect the mobile phone from scratches, dings, dents, and dust which can all lower the longevity and resale value of the phone.
Cell phones have a great resale value today with online sites such as Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, and others where you can easily find someone willing to give you cash for your old phone.

Cell Phone skins:
Skin is a term often used by retailers to describe a wide range of accessories that cover the outside of your cell phone.
Cell phone skins are thin vinyl products which are cut to fit the size of your phone. They install by simply sticking them on the outside of the phone, almost like a sticker.

Skins offer little in the way of protection but are also very customizable. Since the product is Vinyl you can find them in nearly every design, color, or pattern. But if you are tough on your phone don't expect them to last long. They easily scratch, peel, and tare.

Silicone Jelly Cases: Silicone cases offer great protection for your phone. They are usually designed to simply slide over or around the outside of the phone.

They are soft to the touch, hints the Silicone jelly description. Silicone cases very in thickness, texture, and design by manufacture.
One great feature the silicone cases offer is that they have a rubbery texture which means they can be placed on a counter or dashboard without sliding around. This is not possible with other case types which have a very slick exterior.

There are many other options out there and this is just a small sampling but in general, when considering ways to dress up your cell phone, consider what you find most important. Look, style, function, price, etc.
Before purchasing also make sure they work with your specific cell phone. Verify brand and model compatibility before you buy. We have a guide here that will help you find your cell phone model number.
