Almost everybody carries a cellphone now days, which means that accessories are big business. Walk into any electronics or mobile communications store and you’ll find an aisle or two dedicated to accessories such as screen covers, holders, straps, battery chargers, replacement batteries, car kits, Bluetooth headsets, and more. Some of these products are completely superfluous, but others are necessary to keep your handset in top working condition. Cell phone cases fall into this latter category.

I change handsets quite frequently because I like to have the latest smartphone on the market. Whenever I get a new one, my very next task is to look through cell phone cases as well until I find something I like. Smartphones in particular are very sophisticated gadgets, with prices that often rival low-end laptops. Clearly these are devices that need to be taken care of properly, which is precisely what cell phone cases can help you do. There’s a huge selection available both in stores and online, so you have no excuse for putting off your purchase.

Silicone cell phone cases are very popular — mostly with the younger crowd — for a couple of reasons. First, silicone is a durable material that can protect phones from the dings and scratches that come from everyday use. You can’t just keep storing your device in your backpack or jeans pocket and expect it to remain scratch-free for its entire shelf life. The screen or casing is liable to get scratched up simply from rubbing against rough denim or coming into contact with pens, textbooks, or other devices. A silicone cover can take care of this problem. Silicone cell phone cases are also popular because they come in a variety of colors. Clear, red, pink, blue, black, purple… you name it, they’ve got a silicone cover for taste! More »

There is one good thing about the recent cell phones wars that was never present when the PC was starting to dominate it’s market niche. There is a lot of healthy competition. Even though the IPhone has a dominant market share in the smart phone wars, they still do not dominate every aspect of the industry. They have not made significant inroads into the business category. This is where Blackberry based phones are still in charge.

Now Apple has another competitor that is slowly taking away a bit of market share. There are a bunch of new phones being released to the market, that are based on the Android operating system. Each phone adds something different to it’s design but overall they all work the same. Even though they are proving to be a worthy competitor to Apple, you should ask yourself a question. Is an Android based phone, the right one for you? More »

There is something that every IPhone user dreads. They have all heard these horror stories and they do not want to be one of the people who experience it first hand. All of these stories basically start out the same. The person was either already on the phone or about to pull their phone out of their pocket. They then either lose focus or hit something, which causes the phone to drop out of their hand. The phone speeds down to the floor and now the front screen is cracked, or worse broken. Now the IPhone becomes harder to use, if you are able to use it all. You start to think that this is a nightmare and you will have to get a new phone. This used to be the case but not necessarily anymore. Now there are IPhone repair kits, that a normal person can use to fix their phone.

Before we start to talk about the repair kits, you must be able to see how badly the phone was damaged. If the phone was only damaged on the external layer, then you should not have a problem. A new phone will be unnecessary. But, if you hit the phone so hard, that some of the actual components that are inside of the phone, were damaged, then you might have to go get a new phone. Nobody likes the thought of having to get a new phone, especially when their old phone still has all of their information inside of it and it wasn’t backed up. But there is no other option. If more than the external case was damaged, a new phone is definitely necessary. More »

The IPhone has many features that make it one of the best phones around. It has a big screen which is perfect for watching video and internet surfing. It also has a great interface, for when it comes to listening to music. And oh yeah, the actual phone features are not that bad as well. But one of the killer features that have drawn people to the IPhone, has been the amount of applications in it’s library. There are thousands of applications just waiting for you to search through. Somewhere in there, should be an application, that will suit your needs. But what if there isn’t one. Or what if your business decides that they want an IPhone application as well. How can you about, getting an IPhone application developed for you?

There are many ways that you can get an IPhone application developed for you. But before we go into that, we might help you with the question of “why”. Why would a person need a custom application built for them? There are many answers for this. The first one, is that you might be a part of or own a business that could benefit from having their own IPhone application. Either one for private use around the office or one that you could sell as a third party. You could also use a custom application, if you are someone that has a good software ideal that they would like to share with the world. Custom IPhone apps are cheap, especially compared to creating regular applications on computers. Also you might want to create an IPhone application, to use for promotional purposes. There is no better way to advertise, than to give something out for free.

Now once you decide that one of these reasons fit you or you may have your own reasons, you must figure out how you are going to get a custom application made. If you are already the technical type, you can make one yourself. There have been many non programmers who have done just that. But that is a rare feat. It can be done but it is not easy work. So for most people who are not programmers, they will either hire a freelancer or a company to build it for them. A freelancer is a good option that may be cheaper, but if you feel that the application will be a big one, you should go with a company. It may be more expensive but it will More »
