Reviews: Smartphone Accessories

The right accessories can help you get more out of your smartphone. Whether you’re interested in a headset for hands-free talking or a protective case to help protect your investment, we can help you find just what you need. Here’s a look at the add-ons that can make your phone more fun, productive, and practical.
Palm Pre Touchstone Charging Kit
The Palm Pre handset has many strong points, but this smartphone's battery life is not one of them. That's why you'll want the Pre's Touchstone charging kit, a $70 accessory that wirelessly charges the phone.
BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone
You already know that using a Bluetooth headset is a great way to stay safe while driving. But using a Bluetooth speakerphone can be an even more convenient way to go hands-free in the car. Case in point: the BlackBerry Visor Mount Speakerphone VM-605.
Bluetooth Headset
Aliph's Jawbone Prime Bluetooth headset doesn't come cheap. But, while you may pay a lot, you also get a lot. The Jawbone Prime is an easy-to-use, comfortable headset that delivers first-rate call quality -- and it looks good, too.
Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset
A Bluetooth headset doesn't have to look like, well, a Bluetooth headset. Case in point: Aliph's new Jawbone, which somehow manages to look more like a work of art than a hands-free device for your mobile phone.
Etymotic hf2 Headset +Earphones
Your iPhone may double as your iPod, so you need headphones that will let you listen to music and make calls. Enter Etymotic's hf2 noise-isolating Headset + Earphones.
Pogo Stylus for iPhone
The Pogo Stylus offers a handy alternative to tapping at the iPhone's screen with your fingers.
The Best iPhone Accessories
Think the iPhone is perfect right out of the box? Think again. These accessories can help you get more out of your iPhone. They start at as little as $5, and can do everything from boosting your battery life to playing your tunes over your car stereo. Read on to find the perfect iPhone accessory for you.
Chargepod Cuts Your Cable Clutter
You have a cell phone, an iPhone, an iPod, a GPS device, and a handheld gaming device. They're all running low on batteries. You don't need to string power cords and chargers from all of the electrical outlets in your house. The Callpod Chargepod can charge all of these devices (and more) at once.
