Best Samsung Indulge case and accessories

There are many candidates for the best Samsung Indulge case or accessories. The Indulge SCH-R915 or Forte is one of the newest Android phones available on MetroPCS. It features a slide out keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera, a fast processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS radios and fast 4G networking make it a very versatile smart phone. If you have just gotten a new Samsung Indulge, then here are some accessories to consider to make your phone even more useful.

The best accessory you can get for your phone is a good case. Cases are used to shield the phone from damage and are especially important for smart phone as people tend to take their devices everywhere they go. This habit makes the devices always readily available but it also makes phones like the Indulge more susceptible to accidents. The best cases for the Indulge are holster, glove or skin cases. Holster cases are pouches with a clip made to carry a phone on a belt or purse strap. They are often made from thick materials like leather or plastic and do the best job at shielding a phone from minor scratches or drops. Good features to look for in a holster case are a flap or other means to secure the phone inside the holster and a detachable clip to let you carry the device without the extra bulk.

Holster cases are a great way to protect your Indulge when it is not in use. But if you are looking for full time protection, consider getting a glove or skin case. Glove cases are made from silicone, plastic or leather and completely cover the Indulge. They have holes cut in the case to allow access to display, ports and buttons. This allows the case to protect the phone from scratches and minor drops. These cases do add a little bulk to the device which some Indulge owners may find unappealing. If you find yourself in this camp and tend to not drop your phone, you may want a skin case. Skin cases are made from very thin sheets of clear highly durable plastic that stick right on the phone. Unlike glove cases, skins also protect the screen from damage. But because they are made from such thin materials, they provide good scratch protection but do almost nothing to guard from drops.

Like most Samsung Android phones, the Indulge is dominated by its screen. This 3.5 inch touch screen is one the device's best features and makes watching videos or browsing the internet a joy. But because the display is very exposed on the phone, it is susceptible to damage from minor accidents. The best way to guard your device and keep it looking new is to use a screen protector. These sheets of very thin plastic will shield your display from scratches and other minor damage.

If you plan to download a lot of apps, movies or music, you will want to upgrade your memory card. The Indulge uses a microSD port for additional memory for the phone. It can use up to a 32 GB memory card though 16 GB cards are much more affordable right now.

The Indulge uses a microUSB port to charge and sync the device. This means that any third party microUSB cable or charger can be used with this phone. Typical extra chargers that Samsung owners buy includes an extra microUSB sync cable to use at work or a car charger to keep your phone powered up on long drives.

If you plan to use your Indulge in the car, it is a good idea to get a car mount. Car mounts are a great way to keep your phone in place while you concentrate on driving. They are an absolute must if you plan to use your Indulge's built in Google maps turn by turn app or other driving applications. The best car mounts are ones that are secured on to a vent or dash and adjust to accommodate your Samsung Indulge case and phone.
