Consumers Rush for Cell Phone Cases

There are more cell phones in use today than there are toothbrushes. We certainly live in a crazy world. One of the not so crazy things to have happened though, is the supplementary boom in demand for these cases. Indeed, today, you can get hard cases, soft cases, bunny cases, wallet cases and even personalized cellular cases.

And while it’s plain for all to see where this burgeoning demand comes from, it’s still astounding to observe such a large sector of products unfold. For as long as cellular phones have existed, there has always been a market for cell phone cases, yet with the new range of touch devices taking over consumers pocket space, there’s an added dimension of variation necessary for success.

Well beyond the differentiation available with the devices they intend to cover, there is a massive variety amongst the different cell phone cases available on the market today. In Nokia’s days as king of the market there were essentially two different types of custom cases: soft rubber cases and hard cases that often came with a hook that would attach to the side of presumably, a building contractor’s belt.

With the onset of smarter cell phones, there appears to have been an industry wide dedication to devising smarter cell phone cases as well. As the devices have gotten thinner and more sophisticated (the iPhone 4 is said to have better computing power than Apollo 13) one could forgive producers of cell phone cases if they’d simply decided to make bigger, stronger covers.

Instead there appears to be two main factors that define the demand for cellular phone cases.

Function

Quite obviously, the most pertinent functional requirement for an accessory product, is the protection of the host product. By and large, that appears to be a feature of just about all the available custom phone cases that aren’t simply stickers and skins. However, the level of protection each type offers does seem to be a point of differentiation.

For the average cellular phone user there are the standard levels of protection that will insure the device against bumps, scratches and perhaps a two foot drop on a carpeted floor. But for the more adventurous users there are the uber protective cell phone cases that add a few inches to the device and appear to be ready to be hit by a series of anti-aircraft missiles.

Style

Considering there isn’t a great deal of visual differentiation beyond general size and shape amongst smart phones, the cases appear to have picked up the baton to offer users an element of stylization. While some of the more impractical options come with bunny ears, wings and hyper realistic depictions of sushi on the back of them, there are some more straightforward options.

In particular, the cellular phone cases that can be ordered to include images selected personally by the customer catch the eye. Not only does the customer get to be creatively involved in the final product, but the basic model provides for the same amount of protection that other cases do.

Upgrading Your Mobile Phone

Everybody deserves a mobile phone upgrade at some point. Whether you’re a constant phone user or someone whose phone spends more time in their pocket than in their hand there comes a time when every phone needs upgrading. There are tons of upgrade choice on the marketplace nowadays, and choosing the right one can be tough. But we’re here to help. Today we’re talking all about phone upgrades and what you need to know to get some great deals and a fantastic new mobile phone. So if you’re hand set is ready to be replaced read on for our advice…

What to Look for in a Decent Mobile Phone…

Mobiles come with long spec sheets detailing all the features of that particular model, but there are some things that you should be looking for. The mobile market moves fast, so the chances are that standard specs have changed since the last time you bought a mobile. For an average smart phone for an average user there are certain standards that you should keep an eye out for. You want a minimum screen size of around 4.5 inches, that’s big enough to have a comfortable on screen keyboard for typing, as well as for reading web pages without too much scrolling. Processing power should be around the 1500 MHz mark, with about 1 GB of RAM. You need around 16 GB of internal memory and an 8 MP camera. These are the average specs nowadays, and anything below this might be cheap, but it will also be slow and might be unable to support the most recent operating system updates. Of course, you can go higher than these specs, but you will pay extra for more features.

However, considering the clarity of picture and the other variants, both the phones score equally well in terms of snapping capability.

The battery life of iPhone 5 is measured at 1440 mAh which is irremovable. On the other hand, the battery life of Samsung Galaxy S4 is larger and is clocked at 2,600 mAh. Thus, Samsung Galaxy S4 can be operated for longer hours than iPhone 5 on the trot.

Conclusion:

Both these phones have been acclaimed by the critics and the users alike and they both excel in their particular areas. However, Samsung Galaxy S4 gets a tilt of a nod, but just by a little.

5 things to stop doing on Twitter

time they check in somewhere too. Again, this is really of no interest to others users and smacks of desperate attention seeking.

• Tweeting when drunk

 While it might be good that tweets can always subsequently be deleted, there is something a little desperate and embarrassing about the man who think it is a good idea to tweet when he has had a few beers (let alone the fact that he can’t think of anything better to do with his time). They’re often indecipherable, generally incoherent and pretty much pointless and they’re the digital equivalent of getting a telephone call at 2 in the morning, when you were fast asleep, from a drunken friend saying that he loves you. Not cool!

• Sending out countless #FF recommendations

The #FF tweet comes from a trend first started back in 2009, where Twitter users would recommend details of other followers every Friday. FF is short for Follow Friday and is basically a list of user names being recommended to others to follow. It seems like a nice idea but, like anything else, is woefully overused. Aside from the fact that people seem to do it every day, the same people seem to send out lengthy #FF tweets all the time and it becomes tiresome pretty quickly.

Twitter seems so easy to use at first, but once you establish yourself as a regular in the world of tweeting, you will quickly learn what engages and what alienates. Remember that the best ideas are the ones that are used sparingly so if you find yourself doing the same things all the time, you are probably alienating your followers.

iPhone 5S Holdup May be Because of Fingerprint Technology

sexy pic

Those who are fans of Apple and its various consumer electronics products – primarily the nearly ubiquitous iPhone – are keeping a close eye on the to-be-released iPhone 5S, which will feature a fingerprint reader that solves the “important” issue of digital identity. Last week, Apple announced that the release of the next iPhone would be delayed. Add that to gains made by Samsung, and you have those who own Apple stock a bit worried about whatÂ’s going on in the Apple labs.

Mike Elgan, who often writes about Apple, noted that “the Â’iÂ’ in iPhone will stand for Â’identityÂ'” and “the worldÂ’s great creator of markets [is] capable of creating the house that everybody lives in.” Perhaps, but it could be that Elgan is overselling the technology that would make “i” stand for identity. Elgan adds, “I believe Apple sees the NFC chip and fingerprint scanner as part of a Grand Strategy: To use the iPhone as the solution to the digital identity problem.”

The approach would definitely differ from that of Google and Facebook as they also deal with identity problems that grow from having a massive network of inter-connected users. “Apple loves to solve huge, hitherto unsolved problems,” Elgan writes. “And there is no problem bigger from a lost-opportunity perspective than digital identity.” Whatever may be the case, Apple had better churn out that new iPhone soon. The companyÂ’s stock has taken a nosedive of late and the calls that the company is nothing without Steve Jobs are getting louder.
