Top 5 Samsung Tocco Lite Cases

Monday, October 19th, 2009

The Samsung Tocco Lite is proving to be an incredibly popular phone. With an easy to use touch screen, music player and 3 megapixel camera, it is a great all-around phone. To keep your handset looking its best you’ll want to treat yourself to a protective case, but with such a wide range of Cases, Covers and skins available, choosing the right one for you can be a bit of a minefield.

To help you decide on the case that you need, I’ve compiled a list of our top 5 Samsung Tocco Lite Cases.

1. Genuine Samsung Flip Case
The Premium Flip Case is different to most cases for the Tocco Lite as it actually attaches on to your phone. The back of the case replaces your existing battery cover and provides a secure fit. The front flip protects your screen and can be easily folded away when you need to use your phone.

2. Flexishield Plus for Samsung Tocco Lite
The back of your Samsung Tocco Lite will start to scratch if it’s not looked after. FlexiShield Skins for the Tocco Lite are thicker and tougher than standard Silicone Cases and will certainly give your phone more bounce if you drop it! They have a non slip feel and cover all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos. They also include a Screen Protector that prevents your screen from getting scratched.

3. ToughGuard Shell for Samsung Tocco Lite
ToughGuard Shells are similar 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 Tocco Lite. ToughGuard Shells don’t cover the screen, so we’d recommend using a Tocco Lite Screen Protector with it. These cases are a secure fit to your phone and are more suited to people who want to put a case on their phone and leave it on permanently. The ToughGuard Shell is available in Black or Pink.

4. Samsung Tocco Lite Silicone Skin
As the name suggests, Silicone Cases are made from a soft flexible Silicone gel that covers almost all of your Tocco Lite. The only part left exposed is the screen, so you’ll need to use a 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. The Silicone Case is available in Black, Pink or White.

5. Leather Flip Case for Samsung Tocco Lite
The Leather Flip case is made with a hardened leather outer shell for increased durability and protection and have integrated plastic guide rails to keep your phone in place. Convenient cutouts allow full access to side buttons, sockets, charger & memory card slots without compromising protection. The flip folds down from the top of the phone to protect the screen against knocks and scrapes. The Tocco Lite Flip case is available in Black or Pink.

A Guide to Samsung Tocco Accessories

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

If you’re reading this post, chances are you’ve got a Samsung Tocco, but with 3 handsets wearing the Tocco badge and all being available at the same time, it can get a bit confusing finding accessories that will work with your phone.

To try and make things a bit clearer for you, I’ve put this guide together that runs through some of the most popular accessories for the Tocco F480, Tocco Lite & Tocco Ultra. For most of these accessories you’ll find that they are available for all 3 models, but there are the odd one or two that are specific to certain handsets.

Samsung Tocco F480, Samsung Tocco Lite & Samsung Tocco Ultra

Samsung Tocco FlexiShield Skins

The back of your Samsung Tocco or Samsung Tocco Lite will start to scratch if it’s not looked after. FlexiShield Skins for the Tocco range are thicker and tougher than standard Silicone Cases and will certainly give your phone more bounce if you drop it! They have a non slip feel and cover all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos. They don’t cover the screen though, so you’ll need to invest in a Screen Protector if you want to prevent your screen from getting scratched. FlexiShield Skins are not available for the Tocco Ultra because of it’s sliding mechanism.

They are ultra thin and don’t interfere with using the touchscreen on your Tocco.

Leather Flip Case

The Leather Flip case is made with a hardened leather outer shell for increased durability and protection and have integrated plastic guide rails to keep your phone in place. Convenient cutouts allow full access to side buttons, sockets, charger & memory card slots without compromising protection. The Leather Flip case is available for the Tocco Lite and Tocco Ultra.  The Leather Flip Case for the Tocco F480 is slightly different as it is made by Samsung. Instead of sliding your phone in, the case attaches to your Tocco F480 by replacing the back cover. The flip then comes up from the bottom of the phone to protect the screen against knocks and scrapes.

Samsung WEP-200 Bluetooth Headset

Samsung headsets have always been small and compact and the WEP-200 is no exception.  It’s only 40mm long and weighs just 9 grams. It comes with a charging carry case that you can use to charge the headset even if you don’t have access to a power supply. The WEP-200 supports voice dialling, answer/end as well as call hold and mute.

Samsung SBH-650 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

The Samsung SBH-650 lets you listen to music in stereo and answer calls over a bluetooth connection.  The main unit is designed to be worn around your neck or clip on to your clothes.  It has music playback controls built in, so changing track is extremely quick and you don’t have to touch your phone either.  The SBH-650 includes a pair of earphones and will work with any standard 3.5mm headphones too. If you’re interested in finding out more about the SBH-650, you should check out our Samsung SBH-650 Review

SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC

One of the slight downfalls of the Tocco range is that they only have a limited amount of storage, so without doubt, one of the first purchases you will need to make is a memory card.  They all support cards of upto 16GB, but unless you planning on storing all of your music and photo’s on it an 8GB card will be more than sufficient. This 8GB memory card from Sandisk can store upto 7232 high quality photos, 1500 songs and 9 hours of video.

Parrot MiniKit Slim

The Mini Kit Slim from Parrot is a great little Bluetooth Speakerphone that you can use in the car or at home. It features text-to-speech software that will call out the callers name/number when you receive a call. The same software is used to enable voice dialling, even for phone’s that don’t have it built in. Set up is easy, as soon as the kit is paired to your phone, your address book is synchronied with the kit with out you having to do anything.  The address book will update itself everytime the phone is connected too, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to update it.

Samsung Car Charger

Battery life is never great on a touch screen smartphone so a car charger is a worthwhile investment. The genuine Samsung Car charger will work in both 12v and 24v vehicles (Cars, Lorries and Trucks). There are 2 different Car Chargers though, so you’ll need to make sure you order the correct one.

Samsung Tocco Car Holders by Brodit

These are phone-specific cradles that will hold your Tocco securely in the car and have cut outs that allow you to charge your phone while it’s in the holder. They are made from a strong ABS plastic and are designed to be screwed onto your dashboard, although if you don’t fancy doing this you can use a Brodit ProClip. These are secure mounting pads that clip on to your dashboard and can be removed without causing any damage to your vehicle. ProClips provide an ideal base for fixing a Brodit holder on to.

Parrot MKi9200 Car Kit

Parrot have always made fantastic car kits and the Mki range are no exception.  There are three options available, the MKi9000, Mki9100 and the Mki9200.  The main differences between them being the display screen that comes with them.  I’ve chosen the MKi9200 as the best one for the Tocco as the external screen makes it easier to navigate the menu’s and to see who’s calling you without having to look at your phone. You can play music from your phone through the MKi9200 using Bluetooth or 3.5mm line in.  The Mki9200 will synchronise with your phone book, and supports voice dialing.  There is also a small remote that you can attach to your dash or steering wheel to control your music and calls. Regular software updates that improve compatibility with Samsung phones are available free of charge from the Parrot website.
