The cell phone case. Is your phone dressed?

What is it with this overnight model changing that the cellular phone companies are into? I mean, I bought a whole bunch of Sony Ericsson cell phone accessories for my latest Sony Ericsson cell phone, only to discover that the model was considered worthless and frumpy just 6 month down the road! I’d bought hands free cell phone kits, a nice leather cell phone case, face plates and a bunch of other fancy bits. I couldn’t give the frigging thing away when I wanted to change models.

As for my Nokia 6600, I had to squeeze it into a cell phone case Motorola produced as Nokia had discontinued the one I lost in Starbucks coffee shop, and I’d only purchased that model a few months previous. I don’t know about you, but my phone feels undressed if it’s not in a case. I just love the grey cell phone case Samsung makes for its models but unfortunately I can’t bear the phones.

Whenever you bought a cell phone, at least in the recent past, you would have noticed that in addition to the software CD, the charger, the USB adaptor and the warranty card you’ve also been given a cell phone case. Well, this is not just a gesture of magnanimity on the part of the cell phone manufacturer. It's a marketing tactic to keep you up to speed with what has become the hottest accessory in the cell phone market. For while not all cell phone users need GPS, or fancy camera attachments, almost everyone would opt to go in for a cell phone case!

The most common cell phone cases are the simple, transparent ones. They not only serve to hold t phone securely, but also have the advantage of keeping your precious phone free from scratches and nicks. And since most of these transparent cell phone cases come molded to fit snugly around your cell phone, you can be sure that they fit right and serve the protection purpose they were designed for. Leather, is the next most popular material for cell phone covers. From simple, run of the mill leather cases, through custom and suede leather cases to fancy swivel leather cell phone cases, there are all sorts of cell phone cases to cater to every need. When such accessories are used, they transcend the realm of the functional to become hip, fashionable accessories to display ones attitude.

Cartoon characters are also strong contenders for the top spot on cell phone cases. Each time a movie with a cartoon character is released, you can be sure that there’ll soon be a cell phone case coming out. Pink Panther is a universal favorite among cell phone cases. In Asia, Hello Kitty and Pikachu cell phone cases continue to remain the rage. Japan is home to the widest variety of anime and cell phone cases including the ever popular Rellakkuma cell phone case. Why, there’s even a Wallace and Gromit cell phone case already in the stores!

Although cell phone cases are relatively new entrants in the fashion scene, the biggest and the best designers have latched on to them to produce designer cell phone cases. While Gucci, Armani, Dolce and Gabbana and the likes actually don’t produce cell phone covers, there are several cell phone covers in the market that carry their names on them. And then of course, there are the super premium cell phone cases with genuine Swarovski crystals on them making these covers highly prized, functional jewelry items. In such cases, the cell phone case could be worth much more than the phone it holds! Such designer services, known as ‘blinging’ your phone, are becoming popular around the globe what with online services like www.myblingring.com offering customized services to suit your taste and budget.

If you still don’t have a cell phone case to suit your preference, functionality or just fantasy, you can log on to some of the more popular sites on the Internet like www.amazon.com, www.cellularfactory.com among others to try and locate the ideal cell phone cover for you.
