Protect, power, augment: Five essential smartphone accessories

It’s difficult to get the most from your mobile phone without a few accessories to go with it. In fact, there are four essential categories to consider when looking at extras for your smartphone: protection, storage, sound (think headphones and speaker docks) and extra power.

We’ve rounded up five of the best items for your smartphone below.

GP Portable PowerBank Charger

P-XPB20

Price: R420

Before portable chargers and cases made their debut, you either had to use a car charger, cross fingers that your battery would last the day or just watch helplessly as your phone dies. But that’s all in the past because you can now power up wherever you are. The GP Portable PowerBank XPB 20 not only charges your phone, but also any other mobile device with a USB port. It also lasts up to 16 hours with a single 10-hour charge.

Smaak Ultra Clear HD Screen Protector for iPhone 5

Price: R49

Touchscreen phones are more vulnerable to scratches and damage, mostly due to their larger screens and exposure to external elements such as dirty hands, tables, sharp keys and so on. Smaak’s Ultra Clear HD screen protector for the iPhone 5 reduces screen glare and has a scratch-resistant coating, offering a smooth, non-messy finish for your phone. Smaak also has a range of screen protectors for other top smartphone brands like Samsung, HTC, Sony Xperia and BlackBerry. The best bit? You get a pack of two.
