Best LG Optimus 2X case and accessories

There are many LG Optimus 2X case or accessories available on the market. That is because the LG Optimus 2X is one of the best and most popular smart phone available. The 2X features a dual core CPU (hence the 2X name), a 4 inch display, 8 megapixel camera and 1080p recording. All of these features coupled with the newest Android platform makes this one very powerful device. Here are the best case and accessories if you have bought your own Optimus 2X.

The three most popular cases for the LQ Optimus 2X are the holster, glove and skin cases. Each type of case has its own strengths and weaknesses. The holster cases are pouches made from either thick leather or plastic which totally wraps around the phone. They keep the device from being scratched and provide a cushion in case the phone is dropped. These cases are also characterized by a powerful clip that can hold the phone on to a belt or purse strap. The best holster cases also have a flap that is secured by Velcro or a magnet to hold the Optimus in place.

Glove cases are different than holster cases because they are meant to be used with the phone at all times. Unlike holsters that can only protect your Optimus when it is not in use, the glove cases give full time protection. They do this by having special cut outs to allow you to access the Optimus' screen, buttons and ports without removing the device from its case. Gloves are made from leather, plastic or silicone and do a good job of guarding a phone from scratches and damage from minor drops. They are also a great way to customize the look of the 2X as these cases come in all different colors and styles. The one downside with this type of case is that they can add substantial bulk to your phone.

If you are looking to protect your LG phone and do not like the idea of carrying around more weight, then a skin case maybe your best choice. Skin cases are thin sheets of durable polymer which are made to adhere directly on to the Optimus 2X. The polymer from these cases are some of the strongest plastics available and do a good job of protecting the device from scratches and nicks. But because they are made of thin clear materials, the skin cases keep the original look of the Optimus intact.

The LG Optimus 2X has a large 4 inch touch screen to show off its capabilities which takes up almost the whole front of the phone. Like any candy bar phone, the screen will take a beating over time which can damage the display. These scratches and marks can make using your phone difficult. The best way to keep your phone functioning is to use a screen protector. Screen protectors are thin sheets of clear plastic that lay right on top of your display which shields your device from scratches and minor nicks that can obstruct your view.

The Optimux 2X uses a microUSB port to charge and sync the phone. This means that you can use any standard microUSB cable with your device. A good accessory for the 2X include a car charger that can keep your phone charged up on long trips. Another must have accessory is an extra sync cable or charger for use at work. This way you can keep your Optimus charged during the day without having to remember to lug your charger around as part of your daily commute.

The LG Optimus 2X comes with 8 GB of memory built into the device. Not too long ago, this would have been a large amount of space, but today this can easily be exhausted. Apps, music and videos can take up a lot of space on a phone. In addition, if you record a lot of 1080p movies, you can easily run out of memory. Fortunately, you can add more memory to your phone by upgrading the microSD card. The Optimus 2X can take up to a 32 GB memory card which can hold several hours of high resolution video. It should be noted that changing the memory card often requires removing the LG Optimus 2X case.
