Nokia 6555 Premium Leather Case LCPAD6555

Nokia 6555 leather caseAs leather cases go, the LCPAD6555 premium leather lambskin case is a nice product.

Features:

  • Genuine padded lambskin leather.
  • Crack-proof plastic keypad covers.
  • Custom-fit apertures for camera lenses and connector ports.
  • Superior stitching.
  • 360° ratcheting belt clip.
  • The leather is really soft but tough at the same time.  It did not scratch or scuff easily and the padding provides a moderate amount of shock protection if the phone is dropped.

    The ratcheting swivel clip is a nice option if you like to carry your phone on your belt, pocket, purse etc.  We found it nice to unsnap the top portion and use the bottom portion as a holster to carry the phone but leave the front of the phone uncovered.  This provided the ease of use of a holster but the functionality of a fitted case.

    We give the LCPAD6555 high marks for it fit, finish and quality.  Find this and other Nokia 6555 accessories here.

    Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

    Plantronics Discovery 925Last week we broke open our new Plantronics Discover 925 Bluetooth Headset for a test.  It has a somewhat unique v-frame design and single large button.

    Features include -

  • VFrame™ design captures your eye as well as your voice
  • Rechargeable case keeps you in charge
  • AudioIQ® noise control technology for clear calls
  • Three sizes of self-stabilizing eartips let you tailor the fit
  • Quick and easy set up with Bluetooth phones
  • Available in metallic and jewel tone colors
  • Enjoy up to 5 hours talk time or 7 days standby from a single charge
  • We are very picky about our Bluetooth headsets.  Both comfort and sound quality are hugely important.  The Discovery 925 has become one of our favorites.  The caller on the other end cannot tell the headset is being used and the quality of the speaker makes it easy to understand the caller.  It is comfortable to wear and has multiple gels for different sized ears.  Overall we would give the Plantronics Discovery 925 an 8 out of 10.

    Plantronics M40s Stereo Earbud

    Plantronics M40sTalk handsfree and listen to MP3s in high quality stereo with the Plantonics M40s stereo earbuds. 

    While these are not the quality of a good set of Shure earbuds, they also cost considerably less.  As a result they provide a great value for the price.

    The headset provides decent sound and is comfortable.  A 2.5mm and 3.5mm adapter are both included for use with a phone or a MP3 player.

    Features include-

  • Multi use convenience for your mobile phone with integral music player, or your mobile phone and separate music player
  • Discreet design which easily fits in your pocket
  • In the ear style for a quick and comfortable fit
  • Clear conversations with a discreet omni-directional microphone
  • Simple one touch control to answer and end calls
  • The dangling mic works OK but don’t expect a lot of noise cancellation.  In fact, we haven’t found a dangling mic yet we really liked so Plantronics is no worse than the others.

    Overall, this is a great value for both music listening and hands free conversations at around $20.

    MobileGlove Vantage Holster

    MobileGlove VantageThis MobileGlove Vantage holster is a great way to carry your Motorola RAZR or similar sized phone. 

    The holster is made of top quality leather with a smooth lining inside to protect the phone from scratches.

    The flap has a built in magnet to keep it closed when you want your phone kept safe.

    The exterior leather does a good job of protecting your phone if dropped while the front window allows you to easily see who is calling without removing the phone.

    The holster also includes a 2 way belt clip system.  You can either thread your belt through the loops or use the belt clip to slide the holster on and off a belt, purse strap, pocket, or anywhere else.

    OtterBox Rugged Case for Blackberry 8100 1934-20-4

    Are you looking for a really sturdy cover for your Blackberry 8100 Pearl phone?  The Otterbox Rugged case comes with 3 layers of protection for your phone and a tough holster with a ratcheting swivel belt clip to put the case into.  

    The first layer is, what OtterBox refers to as, a clear membrane.  This thin layer envelopes the front and back of your Pearl phone, offering the first layer of protection from scratches and it completely covers the keys and screen (but does not cover the trackball).  The case comes with a card to be able to get out any air bubbles that may get trapped between this layer and your phone.   

    The second layer is a hard plastic shell that comes with front and back pieces that fit around your phone.

    The last layer is a silicon covering which keeps the previous layers all held tightly together to complete the layering.  Its purpose is to absorb shock. 

    The case has the appropriate cutouts for your speakers, camera, charger, etc.   The case also come with a microfiber cloth as well for cleaning the clear membrane piece.  The cons of this case are that it is bulkier because it is built to be sturdier and the clear membrane layer covers the camera, which some people may not like, although it is a thin, clear layer.   Find this and other Blackberry Pearl Accessorieshere.  Get more information on this Otterbox product from the manufacturer here.  Find Otterboxes and other Blackberry Accessories for other models here.

    Samsung Juke Snap-On Cover JUKECOVBK

    Are you looking for a way to protect your Samsung Juke phone?  Would you like to be able to answer your phone without having to take time to remove it from some bulky pouch?  This is the solution for you! 

    These hard plastic snap-on covers for the Juke phone are 2 separate front and back pieces which allow the phone protection and allow you to be able to move your phone as needed while the cover is still on.  The cover is easy to put on and comes with all the correct openings for the phone. 

    It also comes in 4 different colors: solid black, clear, transparent red, and transparent blue.

    This cover does not come with a belt clip which makes it easy to store in a pocket or purse. 

    Overall we like the feel and fit of these snap on covers.  They provide a convenient way to personalize your phone with a different color and protect your Juke from scratching.  The cover fits well and provides access to the ports, buttons, and screens.  Without the belt clip, it is easy to slide into a pocket and not worry about keys, coins, or anything else you have in your pocket scratching the phone.  Find this and other original and aftermarket Samsung Juke Accessories here.
