If you travel in your car a lot or frequently use your phone throughout the day, then you need a car charger so that you never run out of juice. There’s plenty of car chargers out there to chose from, whether it’s a fancy dock and charger or one of the simple USB car chargers available. I’ve taken a closer look at three of our most popular car chargers available:
Navigon iPhone 4S / 4 Car Holder with Charger
Navigon iPhone 4/4S Car Holder and Charger
I actually own a Navigon as my iPhone 4S car charger and what I personally like about it is its curved style. It looks a lot more stylish than other car charger and dock combos, but does the job just as well.
This car holder can be stuck to your windscreen at the angle to suit you with the simple suction cup. Therefore you can position it in a place on your windscreen which is not only safe but also comfortable to use.
When using the Navigon you can angle it so that your phone is in either a portrait or landscape view, which is great for when using the maps feature of your iPhone, or for plugging in phone chargers, FM transmitters and other accessories.
Using an accessory like the Navigon you still have all the features of your phone available but your phone is docked safely and securely whilst doing so.
The included car charger is a simple USB charger meaning you can use your own cable and it’s compatible with both cars and trucks.

The USB car charger adapter is in my eyes a staple accessory for any car.
Cheap and cheerful, this USB plug slots into the cigarette lighter and will charge any accessory via USB. This means not only can you charge your phone, but you could charge a Kindle, hand held gaming system like the DS and even tablets.
This means that if you’re on a long journey, you can keep your passengers occupied without the fear of batteries running out and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’
Compatible with any USB cable, this charger can be used on its own or with a dock, making it multi-functional and essential. The plug can hide away in your glove box when not in use but you’ll be glad it’s there when you run out of juice!
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Vehicle Dock
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Vehicle Dock
The last dock and car charger on my list is the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Vehicle Dock. In a similar way to the Navigon it docks and charges your phone, so it’s a great Samsung Galaxy S2 car charger.
Being an official product, the perfect fit and compatibility is assured with this vehicle dock. It clips your phone in place safely and securely ensuring that it won’t fall out if you take a corner too hard.
Like the Navigon it can be attached to your windscreen by a simple suction cup, meaning you can dock your phone safely and legally, at the most comfortable angle for you. To add even more comfort you can view your phone in portrait or landscape, so again it’s great for SatNav apps.
The USB charger fits nicely into the phone and like all Samsung chargers keeps your phone fully juiced whilst you’re on the go.
Sleek and sophisticated, this is a great vehicle dock and charger for all S2 owners.
So that’s my top three; whether you agree or disagree let me know through the usual channels

The 3GS still remains popular as it’s great for those who want an iPhone without the higher price tag. It’s got a great curved style meaning there’s a wide, original variety of cases for the 3GS – here’s three of my favourite:
Otterbox Defender Series
Otterbox Defender Series
The Otterbox Defender Series is one of the most protective iPhone 3GS cases available.
Offering three layers of protection the Defender is a great case for those who work outdoors or spend a lot of times outdoors because no matter how many times you drop your phone, the Otterbox will stop it being damaged.
The first layer of this Otterbox case is a clear membrane which acts as a screen protector for the display of your 3GS. The back and sides of our 3GS are then protected by layer two: a hi-impact polycarbonate skeleton. This protects from bumps and drops with the help of the third and final layer; a silicon skin, which also helps to absorb shocks.
What makes Otterbox cases extra special is that the ports of your phone are protected by silicone plug; this means that they’re always protected but they’re easy to get to when you need them.
This Otterbox case also comes complete with a ClipStand holster so it’s easy to carry around on your bag or belt buckle.
InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector
InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector
The second 3GS case is great for those who want scratch protection without taking away from the style of the handset itself – it’s the InvisibleSHIELD Full Body protector.
What’s great about InvsibleSHIELD products is that the Full Body protectors are specially made for each handset to provide the perfect fit and best scratch protection possible.
The film used by InvisibleSHIELD has its origins in the US Military where it was used to protect the edges of helicopter blades from wear and tear. Therefore you know it’s of the highest quality and provides better scratch protection than any of the other iPhone 3GS accessories available.
Using a Full Body protector means you can still access all the ports and features of your 3GS, so it remains fully functioning all the time. The film is simple and easy to apply and remove; plus you can also use a 3GS cover with the full body protector for ultimate protection and added individuality.
Case-Mate ID Case
Case Mate ID Case
The final case in my favourite three comes from accessory giants Case Mate. The ID case is a sleek yet multi-functional case which allows you to carry around 2 cards with you. This is great for if you’re just popping to the shops as it saves you having to take a bag.
Only 2.5mm thicker than Case Mate’s Barely There case, the ID case has style at its heart as well as functionality, making it one of the best cases for iPhone.
Made to fit your 3GS snugly, the ID case has all the cut-outs needed for the ports and features of your phone. Therefore it remains fully functional at all times and has that little extra function thanks to the card holder.
However, if you have got cards in the holder, the camera will be covered so you’ll have to remove them to use the camera. That’s a small price to pay for the extra functionality of a case though.
So that’s my top three. Did I miss any cases out? Let me know in the comments or via the usual channels what would be your top 3!

It’s mean, it’s extreme and it blocks out all the sound around you - the Jabra EXTREME 2 Bluetooth Headset has arrived here at Mobile Fun, costing £49.95.
There’s three things which stand out about this headset and make it Extreme:
- style
- comfort
- sound quality
Style’s important in any bluetooth headset and the
Jabra Extreme 2 is no exception. Sporting a sleek, curved, black and silver design; the Extreme 2 is discreet when worn, yet extremely comfortable.
Jabra EXTREME 2 Bluetooth Headset
The included comfort eargels help to keep you wearing the headset for longer and keep it secure to your ear. This means that if you have a long distance drive to make, your headset won’t start to feel uncomfortable half way through; with the Jabra EXTREME 2 you’ll forget you’re even wearing a headset.
What makes this headset Extreme though is the amazing sound quality. The
EXTREME 2 uses Noise Blackout 3.0 technology to block out background noise, so you can enjoy your conversations without any disruptions. You could even be stood in a noisy building yard and the person on the other end of line wouldn’t be able to hear the background noise; it’s that clever.
The EXTREME 2 also uses HD Voice Technology so that you can hear the other person’s voice in the same clarity that they can hear yours. Throw in the Automatic Volume Control which adjusts the volume based on your environment and it’s almost as if you and the other person are in the same room.
It’s an amazing quality headset for the price but what do you think? Get in touch on our usual streams!
