7 of the Best Samsung Monte Cases

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Samsung MonteThe Monte is the latest touch screen feature phone from Samsung. It features a large 3″ touch screen display, a decent camera, plenty of on-board storage as well as Bluetooth, WiFi & GPS. The Monte is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a simple touch screen handset that is capable of storing their music, taking photos and accessing social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The Monte is a social phone and that means it’s likely to be with you 24/7, whether that’s out partying, sitting on your desk at work or relaxing on a beach.  To make sure your phone can cope with your hectic lifestyle, you’ll need a case to protect it against knocks, drops and spills, but with so many Monte Cases available, finding the right one can be a bit of a mission, so to help you out, here’s a list of our top 7 cases for the Samsung Monte.

1. FlexiShield Skin for Samsung Monte

Flexishield skins are the most popular case that we sell for touch screen phones. They’re a tough, flexible gel case that covers the back, sides and corners of your Legend. It’s moulded to accommodate the chin of the phone and doesn’t interfere with charging sockets, headphone ports or volume keys. It does a great job of protecting the aluminium frame of your phone, but doesn’t cover the screen, so a Samsung Monte Screen Protector is a worthwhile investment.

2. Samsung Monte Carry Pouch

This is one of our most popular style of phone case. It’s a simple carry pouch that has a stitched in belt loop on the back. It has a soft lining that helps keep the screen of your phone clean and free from fingerprints. The front flap has a magnetic fastening that keeps your phone secure.

3. PDair Vertical Sleeve For Samsung Monte

PDair cases are made from a high quality leather and are lightly padded to give your Monte as much protection as possible. Each PDair vertical pouch has finger cut outs on the sides for easy removal of your phone, and a sprung belt clip on the back.

4. InvisibleShield

If you don’t want the added bulk of a case, but still  want to protect your Monte against scratches then an InvisibleShield is a great option. It’s a tough, thin plastic film that covers all of your phone. I’ve been a fan of these for a while now as they do such a good job. Fitting them is a little bit fiddly, but the end result is well worth it. They cover the front, sides and back of your phone, leaving the keypad and volume buttons free to use. They don’t add a lot to the bulk of your handset so you can easily use them with most other cases and covers.

5. ToughGuard Shell for Samsung Monte

ToughGuard Shells are similar in appearance to Crystal Cases but are much more robust. Rather than being made from clear plastic, they are made from a more flexible, energy-absorbing polycarbonate. This means that the case is unlikely to break or shatter if you drop your phone and it will divert impact damage away from your Monte.

ToughGuard Shells don’t cover the screen, so I’d recommend using this case with a Samsung Monte Screen Protector. These cases are a secure fit to your phone and can be a little tricky to remove which makes them better suited to people who want to put a case on their phone and forget about it. It also means that the case won’t come flying off when you drop your phone. ToughGuard Shells are available in Black and Pink.

6. Silicone Case for Samsung Monte

As the name suggests, Silicone Cases are made from a soft flexible Silicone gel that covers almost all of your Monte. The only part left exposed is the screen, so you’ll need to use a Samsung Monte Screen Protector to prevent scratches. Silicone cases add very little to your phone in the way of bulk or weight, and are a great way to protect your phone against minor knocks and scrapes without breaking the bank.

7. Crystal Case for Samsung Monte

Crystal Cases are crystal clear clip on covers that are designed to protect the housing of your Monte from scratches and absorb impact damage when you drop it. They aren’t the most robust case you can get, but if you drop your Monte and the case breaks, then it’s done its job properly – after all a broken case is cheaper and easier to replace than your phone is. Crystal cases are one of the most affordable cases available which is why they are extremely popular.

This isn’t all of the cases that are available, just some of the most popular. More cases are due in the next few weeks and I’ll update this post as and when they arrive. To see the full range of Samsung Monte Cases, head over to the main Mobile Fun site.

10 of the Best HTC Legend Cases – Updated

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

The HTC Legend is an excellent upgrade to the HTC Hero that launched last summer. It’s faster, has an improved display as well as a fresher, smoother look. It’s the first phone to have a ‘Unibody’ housing, carved out of a single block of aluminium. This makes it tough and rigid, but also prone to scratches and dents – ask any MacBook Pro owner!

Because of the aluminium finish, there’s a very high chance that it’ll scratch quite easily, so you’re going to need a case for it. The HTC Legend Cases listed below have all been tried and tested with a working phone and we’ve found them to do a great job of protecting your phone. As with the original Hero, the unique ‘chin’ on the phone does make finding a case to fit a little trickier which is why there aren’t too many here at the moment, but we’ll be adding to this over the coming days and weeks.

Update 26/05/2010: More cases have now arrived so I’ve updated the post to show our top ten cases.

1. FlexiShield Skin for HTC Legend

Flexishield skins are the most popular case that we sell for touch screen phones. They’re a tough, flexible gel case that covers the back, sides and corners of your Legend. It’s moulded to accommodate the chin of the phone and doesn’t interfere with charging sockets, headphone ports or volume keys. It does a great job of protecting the aluminium frame of your phone, but doesn’t cover the screen, so a HTC Legend Screen Protector is a worthwhile investment.

2. HTC PO S491 Legend Standard Leather Pouch

The Legend is a smart looking phone that needs a smart looking case. The S491 has been designed specifically to accommodate the ‘chin’ on the Legend. It’s a pouch style case that made from a high quality leather with a soft lining that helps to keep your screen fingerprint free.

3. Noreve Tradition C Leather Pouch for HTC Legend

A smart phone deserves a smart case and you don’t get much more smarter than a Noreve Case. There are two styles of Noreve case, Traditional A and Traditional C. Traditional A are leather flip cases, Traditional C are leather Pouches. The chin of the phone is causing a slight delay with the flip case, but in the mean time, this leather pouch is a simple but stylish way to stop your Legend from getting scratched and scuffed.

4. HTC PO C300 For The HTC Legend

This is a geniune HTC case designed to work with all of their touchscreen handsets. It has cut outs for your charger and handsfree/headphones, as well as a hole in the bottom to make it easier to push your phone out.  It’s made from a high quality leather with grey stitching and a soft suede lining that helps to keep your screen fingerprint free. On the back, the case has a couple of mounting options. The first is a sprung belt clip that allows you to attach it and remove it from your belt quickly and easily, the other is two stitched belt loops that allow you to keep the case on your belt or bag strap permanently with no chance of it falling off.

5. InvisibleSHIELD for HTC Legend

If you don’t want the added bulk of a case, but still  want to protect your Legend against scratches then an InvisibleShield is a great option. It’s a tough, thin plastic film that covers all of your phone. I’ve been a fan of these for a while now as they do such a good job. Fitting them is a little bit fiddly, but the end result is well worth it. They cover the front, sides and back of your phone, leaving the optical trackpad and volume buttons free to use. They don’t add a lot to the bulk of your handset so you can easily use them with most other cases and covers.

6. HTC Legend Orbit Flex Krusell Premium Leather Case

Krusell make some great mobile phone cases and this is one of their most popular. Orbit Flex Cases are designed specifically for each of the touch screen phones. They allow quick and easy access to your HTC Legend with out adding any unneccesary bulk. They have a soft touch lining that helps keep your screen clean while its in the case. The flip can be detached from the case for unrestricted access to the screen. All Krusell cases work with the Multidapt range of clips and mounts so you can find the right mounting option for your phone.

7. PDair Flip Case for HTC Legend

The PDair Flip Case is another classic leather flip case which opens from the top in a flip-action.  It has easy access to all controls, and also boasts PDair’s custom clip which allows the case to be worn on the belt at any angle.

8. Silicone Case for HTC Legend

Simple and affordable, Silicone Cases are a great way to protect your Legend against minor knocks and bumps. They’ll stop the aluminium finish from getting scratched and give your phone more grip. Like FlexiShield cases they don’t protect your screen, so you’ll need to invest in a HTC Legend Screen Protector.

9. ToughGuard Shell for HTC Legend

ToughGuard Shells are very similar to  Crystal Cases, but are coloured and much stronger. They cover all of the outsides of your phone, leaving the screen, keypad, volume controls and charger ports accessible. They’re designed to be left on your phone permanently and can be a little tricky to remove – this is a good thing though as it means it’s not going to come flying off your phone when you drop it!

10. Crystal Case for HTC Legend

Crystal cases are a more rigid case than FlexiShield, but provide similar levels of protection. They’re not quite as robust as a FlexiShields. Instead of giving your phone more bounce, crystal cases are designed to absorb the impact and divert it away from your phone. This can mean that the case will break, but it’s better to replace a relatively inexpensive case than face expensive repair bills for your phone.

What’s up Dock? A guide to the best HTC Desire docks and desk stands

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Ok, I know, cheesy title, but it got your attention! The Desire is a great smartphone, but it needs great content on it in order for you to really enjoy it and get the most out of it. You can transfer all your photo’s, music and video’s to it using the cable that it came with the phone, but let’s face it, a USB cable doesn’t do much to show off your fancy new phone.

If you want everyone in the office to see your new toy as they walk past, or just be able to disconnect your phone quickly and easily without fiddling around with cables, you’re going to need a Desire Dock or Desire Desktop chargers.

There are a few available, so I thought I’d take a look at some of our most popular ones to see how they compare.

1. HTC Desire Dock

This is a quick and easy way to charge your phone while keeping it up to date with your latest music downloads, TV Shows and Photo’s. It connects to a spare USB port on your PC or laptop and can be used with a USB Mains adapter to turn it into a stand alone charging dock. It has a blue LED indicator that lights up when your phone is charging.

2. HTC Desire Dual Dock

This is essentially the same as the dock shown above, but with the addition of a built in battery charger. This makes it the perfect choice for anyone who has a spare battery for their Desire as it means you can charge both batteries at the same time, instead of having to charge one, remove it from the phone, replace it with the dead one and then start the charge cycle all over again.

3. Deluxe HTC Desire Dock

The Deluxe Charging Cradle is the most popular style of cradle . It looks excellent and has a hi-gloss finish. Behind the phone is a lift up cover that houses an additional battery charger so that you can charge a spare battery at the same time.

4. Smart Stand – HTC Desire

While the Smart Stand won’t charge or sync your Desire, it’s still a great way to watch videos or flick through your photo’s while you’re at your desk and is the only custom stand for the HTC Desire that will hold your phone in landscape mode. If you want to sync content to your phone, you’ll need to use a Micro USB cable. The Smart Stand has a sprung clip at the top that holds your phone securely in place and a weighted base that stops it from falling over.

5. Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand

The Desk Genie is a great all round Desk Stand, but has received a mixed response in the office when it comes to the Desire. The coating on the Desire doesn’t stick all that well to the Desk Genie, so unless you’ve got a case or cover fitted to your  Desire, you might struggle to keep it in place. On the bright side though,  the Desk Genie includes a charging cable for your phone and also doubles up as a memory card reader.

There are a number of other HTC Desire Desktop chargers available, but these are the the most popular ones at the moment. Head over to the main site to check out the full range of HTC Desire Docks.

More HTC Desire Docks are due in the coming weeks and I’ll update this post as and when they become available.

Vaja Cases now in stock at Mobile Fun

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

If you’re after a case that’s a little bit special and stands out from the crowd there are a number of premium brands you could go for – Noreve, Piel Frama and Knomo are just a few of them, but what if you wanted something really special?

Well, we’re pleased to announce that our range of Vaja Cases have now arrived and are available to order for the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry Bold 9700, BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Storm2.

Vaja who?

Vaja are a case manufacturer based in South America. Their cases are all of an exceptionally high standard and not like any case you’ll have seen before.

They’re available in a number of colours and styles – I’ve listed some of my favourites below to give you an idea of what’s available.

Vaja Dockable iPhone Case

It looks retro with the combination of tan and beige leather, but this is a great slim fitting case for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. It has a magnetic catch built in that keeps it securely closed, as well as a kickstand on the rear that’s perfect for propping your phone up to watch videos and browse the internet.

What’s even better is that the case works with most iPhone docks, meaning you won’t have to remove your phone every time you want to sync it with your PC or Mac.

Vaja Classic Retro Dockable Case for Apple iPhone 3G & 3GS

Vaja Black & Red Limited Edition Case for BlackBerry Storm 2

The Limited Edition Vaja cases have a real sporty look to them. They’re made from textured black and red leather, with a brushed chrome logo on the outside of the flip. It provides access to all the ports and buttons on the Storm2. It also has a built in ‘sleep magnet’ that puts your phone to sleep when the cover is closed.

Vaja ivolution Stripes2 for Apple iPhone 3G & 3GS – Black

The ivolution Stripes case is a slim, form fitting flip case that’s all black with 3 coloured stripes across the outer flap. Unlike the Retro case above, the flap is bottom hung and your iPhone is held in place using a tension system instead of a stitched pocket to provide easier access to your phone. All of the screen is accessible, as are the volume controls, silent switch and headphone socket. To close the flap, just clip the end of the flap over the top of your phone.
