Maximize Your Smartphone Experience with Must-Have Accessories

Tech - by Joe Weber - updated on 1/24/2025

Your smartphone is more than just a device—it's your connection to the world. Investing in the right accessories can protect your phone, enhance its performance, and make your life more convenient. Let's explore the essential accessories you need to elevate your smartphone experience.

Protect Your Investment with the Right Phone Case

Your phone faces a lot of wear and tear daily. A quality phone case is your first line of defense. Here are some top picks:

• cellhelmet Fortitude Series: Featuring dual-layer construction with a hard polycarbonate shell and shock-absorbing silicone interior, these cases are designed for durability. Models are available for popular devices like the iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23.
• cellhelmet Altitude Series: The Altitude X Series case combines a slim design, durable protection, and patented technology to deliver unmatched phone protection. With features like Pyramid Protect, Cross Diffuse drop protection, and a No Slip Grip for added security, this impact-certified case offers a superior feel while remaining sleek enough to fit in your pocket or purse.

Pro Tip: Choose a case with raised edges to protect your screen from accidental drops.

Shield Your Screen from Scratches

Your phone's screen is its most vulnerable component. A tempered glass screen protector provides added durability while maintaining clarity and touch sensitivity.

• cellhelmet Screen Protectors: These 9H hardness protectors are water-resistant and designed to resist fingerprints and smudges. Options are available for both current and older phone models.

Quick Tip: Replace your screen protector if it shows signs of cracks or scratches to maintain optimal protection.

No matter if you're rocking the latest iPhone 15, iPhone 14, or iPhone 13, an older iPhone 11, or even a Samsung Galaxy S22, S23, S24, or S24+, Batteries Plus has the phone cases, screen protectors, and accessories you need to keep your device safe and looking sharp.

Keep Your Device Clean

A clean screen is more than just aesthetic—it also improves visibility and hygiene. Here's how to clean your phone safely:

• Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away smudges.
• For a deeper clean, slightly dampen the cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (at least 70%), and wipe down the phone.
• Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage your screen's coating.
• Don't dunk your phone in water. I know most devices now claim to be "waterproof" but still, better safe than sorry.

Convenient Phone Mounts for On-the-Go Access

Whether you're navigating, streaming music, or taking calls, a reliable car mount keeps your phone accessible and your hands on the wheel.

• Nite Ize Steelie Car Mount Kit: This magnetic mounting system provides secure attachment and easy adjustability for optimal viewing angles.
• Belkin Universal Dash and Windshield Car Mount: Securely mount your smartphone with 360-degree rotation and tilt for the perfect viewing angle. Includes a dashboard adapter for added versatility.

Safety Tip: Position the mount to avoid obstructing your line of sight while driving.

Stay Powered with Reliable Charging Solutions

Running out of battery is never convenient. Keep your device charged wherever you go with these options:

• Portable Power Banks: These compact chargers come in various sizes and power capacities, making them perfect for travel or emergencies.

We recommend the cellhelmet 20,000 mAh Portable Power Bank. Charge devices up to 4 times with this high-capacity power bank, featuring two USB-A ports and one USB-C port for versatility. The 18W quick charge ensures fast power-ups, backed by a lifetime warranty from cellhelmet.

• Wireless Charging Pads: Simplify your charging routine with options like the cellhelmet Desk Stand with MagSafe Compatibility.

Extend the Life of Your Charging Cables

Cables are often the first accessory to show signs of wear. Protect them with these tips:

• Invest in braided cables, which are more resistant to fraying.
• Use cord protectors to reinforce the connectors, reducing strain.
• Avoid unnecessary bending and twisting of the cable, especially when connected to the device. This also helps prevent damage to the charging port.

Other Essential Accessories to Consider

Round out your smartphone setup with these additional must-haves:

• MagSafe magnetic accessories: Magnetic cases, holders, and more that attach to your phone using powerful magnets.
• Cord Organizers: Keep your cables tangle-free and neatly managed for a clutter-free workspace or travel bag.
