LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Case Review

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Case Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Fast Facts

Manufacturer: OtterBox
Dimensions: 16.5 cm (6 1/2 inch) x 9 cm (3 1/2 inch) x 1.5 cm (5/8 inch)
Price: $39.95 at DiscountCell.com

Pro’s

The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case offers durable protection to the LG Flex without taking away from any of the phone’s features.  The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter features 2 layers of protection.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter

The OtterBox LG Flex Commuter Case features two layers of protection.

First, the LG Flex is protected on all sides by a soft, shock-absorbent silicone layer.  Then, a durable yet flexible hard-plastic case adds additional structural support to the entire phone.

The most striking feature of the Commuter Case is the fact that it can still bend and flex with the LG Flex despite having two protective layers.

The OtterBox LG Flex Commuter Case can “flex” along with the phone.

Also, while the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter offers access to all of the various ports, cameras, and buttons of the LG Flex, the case includes special doors and flaps to protect any ports or openings from dust and debris.

The OtterBox Commuter offers full access to all of the LG Flex’s speakers, cameras, buttons, and ports.

Con’s

While the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter does come with an adhesive screen protector, the case is not waterproof.  However, if water manages to get between the case and the phone, the phone can be easily removed before the water causes damage.

Also, the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case does not come with a belt clip.  However, given the large size of the LG Flex, a belt clip would not be very practical as the phone is too big to carry comfortably on a belt.

Conclusion

The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case provides quality light-weight, dual layer protection that can “flex” along with the phone.

The only downsides to the case are the fact that it is not waterproof and that it does not come with an included belt clip.

LG Optimus Zone Accessories Review

LG Optimus Zone Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The LG Optimus Zone is an Android-powered prepaid smartphone available from Walmart for $40.  While the phone does not come with the latest hardware or software, you do get a 3.2″ screen, Android 3.2.6, a decent camera, and 4 GB of storage.

At such a low price, it doesn’t make sense to invest in an expensive case.  Really anything more than $20 is too much, because at that point you’ve already paid for 50% of the cost of the phone. If you spend more than $20 on a case, It would almost be cheaper to just purchase a new phone if something were to happen.

The key to maximizing the value of your LG Optimus Zone is to purchase low cost accessories to complement your phone.  The following reviews several low cost LG Optimus Zone accessories to power up and protect your phone without breaking the bank.

Cases

The Lg Optimus Zone is compact yet relatively light weight.  The phone measures 4.04″ tall x 2.42″  wide x 0.47″ thick and only weighs about 3 ounces.

3 Low-Cost LG Optimus Zone Pouches

Because of the phone’s low cost and generic dimensions, an inexpensive pouch is a better option than a pricey custom fit case.

The right type of pouch depends on where you will be using your phone.  If you plan on using the LG Enact primarily indoors in an office setting, then we recommend using a leather case that provides a high level of protection while maintaining a professional appearance.

However, if your organization does a lot of field work and you are looking for more thorough protection, we recommend a more durable case like the Naztech Gladiator or the Nite Ize Cargo Clip Case.  Both of these cases are made out of thick, durable nylon canvas and are well suited for outdoor use.

The Naztech Gladiator is especially popular with law enforcement because it is available in 4 different colors and includes a heavy-duty belt clip that is perfect for police patrol belts.

Chargers

Two different charging options with micro-USB cables.

Perhaps the most important LG Optimus Zone accessories that you can buy for your organization are quality chargers.  The LG Optimus Zone is powered by a relatively weak 1540 mAh battery and needs to be recharged frequently.

DiscountCell.com has over 50 different charging options available for the LG Optimus Zone starting at just $3.95.  Low cost per unit is especially important for purchasing officers who frequently have to replace chargers left behind by employees in hotel rooms and rental vehicles.

Conclusion

The LG Optimus Zone accessories reviewed in this article are perfect for use in government agencies and in large organizations because they provide high-quality function at low cost.

Sony Xperia Z Accessories Review

Sony Xperia Z Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The highly-anticipated Sony Xperia Z offers a powerful camera and a large, bright screen.  However, the phone’s most striking characteristic is the fact that it is water and dust resistant.  The Sony Xperia Z can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without being  damaged.

However, while the Sony Xperia Z offers a high level of function and protection, the phone has been criticized for its short battery life.

In this review we’ll take a look at a few of the many charging options and other Sony Xperia Z accessories available from DiscountCell.com.

What Type of Charger Should I Get?

While shopping for Sony Xperia Z accessories, you may have noticed that most chargers have either a 1 or 2.1 Amp output.  What’s the difference?  Is it safe to use either on your phone?

While 1 Amp chargers are designed primarily to recharge small cellphones and  2 Amp chargers are designed to charge larger devices like tablets, both may be used interchangeably.

In fact, as long as the charger has a regulator that prevents overcharging and overheating, using a 2 Amp charger will actually charge your phone faster and will not pose any threat of “frying” or overheating your phone’s battery.

Sony Xperia Z Accessories

Two different charging options and micro-USB cables. The charger on the top right works with both a vehicle DC or indoor AC outlet.

Because the Sony Xperia features a large 5″ screen and has a relatively short battery life, I would recommend getting a charger for both your car and your office.  

The best way to ensure that you are buying a quality charger with a regulator to protect you phone is to go with a trusted brand.  Quality brands include Naztech, ECOsound, WirelessXGroup, Grabit, Qmadix, and Scosche.

Samsung Galaxy Ring Accessories Review

Samsung Galaxy Ring Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a low-budget prepaid smartphone.  For $150, you get a 4 inch display screen, android 4.1, and decent call quality.  However, at such a low cost, it doesn’t make sense to invest in an expensive phone case.  Why spend $50 on a phone case, when the entire phone only cost $150?

Today we’ll take a look at several low-cost Samsung Galaxy Ring accessories from DiscountCell.com that will keep you phone powered and protected without breaking the bank.

Samsung Galaxy Ring Cases

First up are cases and pouches.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is compact yet bulky, measuring  4.8 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide by 0.47 inch deep.  The Galaxy Ring is relatively light, weighing in at 3.4 ounces.

Three pouches well-suited for transporting the Samsung Galaxy Ring

Because of the phone’s low price and unique dimensions, a generic, inexpensive pouch is a better option than an expensive custom-fit case.

The right type of pouch depends on where you will be using your phone.  If you plan on using the Samsung Galaxy Ring primarily indoors in an office setting, then we recommend using a leather case that provides a high level of protection while maintaining a professional appearance.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Accessories Review

Samsung Galaxy S5 Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the release of the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5.  With a fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and built-in dust and water protection, there is a lot to look forward to.

However, while  the Samsung Galaxy S5 will guard against dust and water, it will not have any additional drop protection.  In order to keep your phone protected and working great for years (or at least until the Galaxy s6 is released), you need some quality Samsung Galaxy S5 Accessories.

What Type of Samsung Galaxy S5 Accessories Should I Get?

DiscountCell.com has over 65 quality cases for the Samsung Galaxy S5.  However, which case you choose all depends on what you plan on doing with your Samsung Galaxy S5.

For example, if you just plan on using your Samsung Galaxy S5 indoors and want to protect against scratches and the occasional drop, then the Incipio NGP case is a good option.  The Incipio NGP (Next Generation Polymer) Case is a thin, flexible, silicon-polymer membrane that stretches over the Samsung Galaxy S5.

However, if you plan on using your Samsung Galaxy S5 outside, then you may want a little bit more rugged protection.  The Ballistic Tough Jacket Max and the OtterBox Defender both feature dual-layer shock protection and built-in screen protectors.

The first layer of protection is made out of shock absorbing silicon while the second outer layer is made out of a durable, rigid polycarbonate shell.

Charging Options

Also, when shopping for Samsung Galaxy S5 accessories, don’t forget to invest in a quality charger.  Note I said quality and not expensive.  A good charger should be reliable yet inexpensive, as chargers often get left behind in hotel rooms and rental vehicles.

Discountcell.com has over 50 different charging options available for the Samsung Galaxy s5, with the least expensive model priced at only $3.95.

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c Case Review

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c Case Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

Pro’s: Transparent, slim design, light-weight, included screen protector, durable drop protection, one solid piece.

Con’s: Industrial Look, no belt clip or holster.

Recommendation:  The Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c case lets you protect your phone and keep your style.

Price: $29.95 from DiscountCell.com

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c Case Review

The iPhone 5c is the first and only iPhone available in 5 different colors.  Now for the first time, you can customize the color of your iPhone to fit your unique personality.

Unfortunately, displaying the color of your new iPhone 5c also means leaving your phone unprotected without a case.  This is a major problem because iPhones are notorious for breaking or cracking when dropped from even small heights.

Luckily, Urban Armor Gear created a solution with their new transparent case for iPhone 5c.

The Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c case offers all of the quality drop protection found in previous  case designs while still allowing full visibility and display of the iPhone 5c’s unique color scheme.

The inner part of the case features a hexagonal pattern that creates little air pockets to protect the iPhone 5c from shock, impact, and other force damage.

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c Case

On the outside of the case, each of the four corners has additional silicon that act as bumpers.  Also, the clear polycarbonate case features a shock-absorbing design that adds to the case’s overall protection.

In addition to showing color, the Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c case allows access to all of the iPhone’s speakers, cameras, ports, and buttons.  The touch screen is also fully accessible and uninhibited by side bumpers that often make it difficult to swipe on the screen from the sides and corners.

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c Case

Installation is also very easy.  Because the whole case is one solid piece, simply slide in the phone and it’s ready to go.

Conclusion

The Urban Armor Gear iPhone 5c case is a great option if you are looking for a solid, one-piece case that provides a high level of drop protection without covering up your phone’s unique color.

LG Flex Accessories Review

LG Flex Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

Lg Flex Accessories Review

Put simply, the LG Flex is a big, flexible phone.  With its 6-inch screen, the LG Flex is almost as big as the Google Nexus 7 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.  Also, the LG Flex is the first phone to offer a curved screen and a “flexible” bending design.

While the large, curved screen makes for an incredible mobile viewing experience and increased productivity, the phone is a little difficult to transport and is more vulnerable to drop, scratch, and other damage.

In order to find LG Flex accessories to protect your phone, you need something that is both large enough to fit the phone and flexible enough to maintain the phone’s unique curved profile.

DiscountCell.com, a Utah-based business dedicated to providing top-quality cell-phone and tablet accessories, has over 25 cases and over 50 charging accessories that are compatible with the LG Flex.

The following reviews DiscountCell’s LG Flex accessories catalog in general as well as highlights on several specific products.

LG Flex Cases

When shopping for LG Flex cases, the trick is to find a design that will both fit the LG Flex’s unique dimensions and bend and flex along with the phone.

Incipio has several cases that offer varying degrees of protection for the LG Flex.  However, while all of the featured Incipio cases fit the LG Flex’s unique dimensions and features, none of them have the ability to bend and “flex” with the phone.

OtterBox, on the other hand, has released a version of their popular “Defender” series that both provides quality drop protection and bends with the LG Flex.

LG Flex Chargers

The LG Flex’s large size brings up a good question: should I buy a standard 1 amp phone charger or a larger 2 or 3 amp tablet charger?

For the most part, a higher amp means that your device will charge faster.  However, whichever option you choose, all of the chargers on DiscountCell.com have dual-protection to prevent over-heating and overcharging.
