Best Samsung Galaxy S 4G case and accessories

Selecting the right Samsung Galaxy S 4G case or accessories is a key step in making the most out of your smart phone. The Galaxy S 4G is currently the best 4G Android phone for T-mobile. It features a fast modern processor, a large bright 4 inch screen and the HPSA+ radios that allows the device to access T-mobiles modern 4G network. Selecting the right accessories can make this phone a powerhouse device.

One of the first accessories to consider with a new Galaxy S 4G is a case to protect your investment. Cell phone cases are made to create a layer of protection between your device and accidents that come from every day use. The most popular cases for the Galaxy S 4G are the holster, glove and skin cases. Holster cases are made from thick materials like leather or plastic that can act as a layer to shield your device when it is not in use. The extra-thick material protects the phone from scratches and cushions it from the occasional drop. The best holsters have a strong clip that rotates so that you can attach it comfortably to a belt or purse strap.

The one down side to holster cases is that they can only protect the Galaxy 4G when it is not in use. If you want full time protection, consider either a glove case or a skin case. Glove cases are made from leather, silicone or plastic and they completely covers all parts of the phone except the display, buttons and key ports. This allows the case to guard the Samsung from scratches and other abrasion. However, since the material in a glove case is thinner than most holsters, gloves only provide minimal protection if you should drop your phone. If you are very careful about your gadgets and do not want to carry the bulk of a glove case you may want to look into skin cases. Skin cases are very thin sheets of durable plastic the stick right onto the Galaxy S. These cases are not meant to shield a device from a drop but do a very good job of guarding it against scratches. Since they are also made of clear plastic, a skin case is a great way to keep the native look of the Galaxy intact.

This new version of the Galaxy S comes with one of the clearest screen available on the market today. The 4 inch screen is also made of one of an extremely resilient glass which helps to keep the phone looking great even after small accidents. Like all touch screen, these displays are still susceptible to scratches and damage from minor accidents. If you want to keep your device looking new or are just one of the people who likes to have an unobstructed screen then you should consider getting a screen protector.

Like its predecessors, the Galaxy S 4G uses a microUSB port to charge and sync the device. If you already have extra microUSB chargers from the older smart phone they will do a good job of recharging or moving files to your phone. If you do not have these accessories, a microUSB car charger is very useful for the road warrior or just someone who occasionally wants to use their Samsung in the car.

One of the few shortcomings of the otherwise amazing Galaxy 4G is the memory on the device. The phone only has 1 GB of space built in and much of the included memory card is taken up by the “Inception” movie. If you need additional space for more downloads or want to take a lot of HD video, you will quickly run low on space. The best solution is to upgrade the memory card int the phone's microSD port which can take up to 32 GB microSD cards. Though 32 GB memory card prices have dropped significantly, many people are tempted to buy many smaller memory cards and switch them out as they run low on memory. If you take that track, remember that doing so will require frequent re-installations of your Samsung Galaxy 4G case which may be more trouble than the money you save on smaller cards versus buying a larger card.
