Best T-Mobile myTouch 4G case and accessories

Finding the best T-Mobile myTouch 4G case or accessories can be difficult because the many different options available. The myTouch 4G is one of the newest phones that supports T-Mobile's fast HSPA+ network which makes the device almost as fast on the cell network as when it is using WiFi. This fact coupled with the myTouch's fast CPU, 5 megapixel camera and 3.8 inch touch screen makes the phone one of the best Android devices available. Here are the best cases and accessories to get the most out of it.

The three most popular case types for the myTouch 4G are the skin, glove and holster cases. Each type of case has its own strengths and weaknesses and the ideal case for you depends on your needs. For example, the skin cases are a great way to protect a phone from scratches without having to carry around any extra bulk. These cases are made from thin durable sheets of clear plastic that adhere directly on to the myTouch. These sheets do not change the look of the phone, but they absorb any damage that would normally have damaged your device's shell. Unfortunately the skin cases do not help very much if you drop you phone.

The Glove cases are made from thicker materials like silicone, plastic or leather and are made to completely cover the myTouch 4G. There are precisely cut holes in the case for you to access the screen, ports and buttons without removing the case. They can protect a phone from scratches but also will help cushion your device from small drops. This shielding comes with the price of adding some extra weight and bulk to the myTouch, but some owners would find the extra security worth the trade off.

If you only need to protect your phone when it is not in use, a better choice would be a holster case. Holster cases are made from durable materials like thick plastic or leather and completely cover the myTouch 4G in thick padding when it is not in use. They also have a clip to attach the case to a belt or purse strap to free up your hands. Most holster cases come in black but you can find them in many colors if you look hard enough.

The myTouch 4G has a vibrant 3.8 inch touch screen. This display is susceptible to scratches and fingerprints from every day use. The best way to protect your device is a screen protector. These clear sheets of durable plastic fit right on the screen and absorbs the damage that would normally harm your display.

The T-Mobile myTouch has 4 GB of memory built into the phone and comes with another 8 GB microSD card. Just a year ago, this would have been enough space for almost any users. But in today's world of downloaded movies, 720p video recording and apps some myTouch 4G owners may feel cramped for space. Fortunately, you can upgrade the microSD card up to 32GB which will give you enough space for the immediate future.

The T-mobile myTouch 4G has one of the best battery life available on a smart phone and is rated to last 9 hours of talk time. If you do find yourself occasionally running low on juice, buying a second microUSB charging cable or car charger can help to keep your device always powered.
