5 Smartphone Accessories that will make your life easier

While the normal wired headphones are pretty good, having a Bluetooth stereo headphones set is so liberating it's almost hard to believe. Once you get a good pair of wireless headphones, you'll never want to go back - the freedom of movement and control that they offer is just that great. Among the best headsets I'd count the Nokia BH-503(they're affordable and have a high quality sound), Nokia BH-504 and Plantronics BackBeat 903+. If you want to get the best sound, the Nokia BH-905 is the best choice, although it's pretty expensive.

If you're using your phone intensively all day long, chances are high that you have to charge it twice a day if it's a powerful handset with two cores, a big display and all. That can be pretty hard to do when you're on the move. If you're in your car, you can use a car charger, but if you're nowhere near an outlet or can't stop for half an hour to recharge, you can always get a portable power pack, like the Motorola P793 or any other model. They're basically portable batteries that have a USB port, which you can use to recharge your phone quickly and easily - even in your pocket!

If you work in the field or are prone to dropping your phone often or using it in more extreme conditions (like snow, rain or dusty environments), a protective film may not be enough to keep it safe and operational. You'll need a full-fledged protective case that encases the whole phone and keeps it safe from pretty much anything. One of the best models is the Otterbox Defender - you've probably already heard of it, and if you haven't, you should know that it can protect your smartphone from drops, rain, dust, sun and more.

If you're a real power user and often find yourself needing to type a lot of text when you're out and about, having a Bluetooth keyboard can save you a lot of time and muscle carrying a whole laptop around. You can pair almost any keyboard with an Android phone and the Apple Wireless Keyboard for the iPhone (or iPad), and use it to write and edit documents, send emails and chat with someone quickly from anywhere. Just be sure to choose a small and comfortable enough model.
