We&#8217;re often asked on the blog and forums, &#8220;what&#8217;s the best case for my phone&#8221; or &#8220;which is the best bluetooth headset&#8221;, but as there is no right and wrong answer it&#8217;s not always easy to say.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"View all Samsung Wave Accessories\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/wave-s8500\">Samsung Wave<\/a> has been on sale for a few weeks now and is one of the most asked about phones. We&#8217;ve looked at what you&#8217;ve been asking and spent some time going through all of the accessories available to see which are the most popular, highest rated etc and have come up with our guide to some of the best <a title=\"View all Samsung Wave Accessories\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/wave-s8500\">Samsung Wave accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Samsung Wave Case: <\/strong><strong><a title=\"Genuine Samsung Wave Premium Flip Case\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/genuine-samsung-wave-premium-flip-case-black-24582\">Genuine Samsung Wave Premium Flip Case<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are so many different styles of case; Leather, Silicone, Clip on, Pouches, the list is almost endless, but personally I think the simpler the case is the better. The Genuine Samsung Flip wins as my favourite case for the Wave due to it&#8217;s simple, compact design. Unlike most flip cases, you don&#8217;t have to put your Wave into a leather pocket. Instead, you remove your existing battery cover and attach this case in it&#8217;s place. The cover then folds around from the bottom of the phone to protect the screen, bottom edges and back of your phone against bumps and scratches.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8133\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/genuine-samsung-wave-premium-flip-case-black-24582\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8133\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8133\" title=\"Best Wave Case\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs8.jpg\" alt=\"Best Wave Case\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs8.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs8-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Best Wave Case<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Best Samsung Wave Headphones: <\/strong><strong><a title=\"Skullcandy Titan Headphones - Chrome\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/skullcandy-titan-headphones-chrome-20067\">Skullcandy Titan Headphones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of using a set of these headphones for the past few weeks at work and have to say they&#8217;re so much better than the standard headphones included in the box with the Wave. Sound comes through clear and sharp and bass is great too. I tend to listen to general chart music and podcasts which isn&#8217;t particularly heavy when it comes to bass. These are only headphones though, not a hands free kit, so you can&#8217;t use them for calling. At the time of putting this guide together there wasn&#8217;t a decent alternative hands free kit available that we could confirm will work with the Wave.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8134\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/skullcandy-titan-headphones-chrome-20067\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8134\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8134\" title=\"Best Wave Headphones\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs9.jpg\" alt=\"Best Wave Headphones\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs9.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs9-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Best Wave Headphones<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Best Samsung Wave Bluetooth Headset: <a title=\"Jawbone Icon - The Thinker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/jawbone-icon-bluetooth-headset-the-thinker-black-24000\">Jawbone Icon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you use your phone in the car you should have a bluetooth headset or car kit &#8211; They&#8217;re the safest and legal way to use your phone for calling when you&#8217;re driving. As with phone cases, the range of bluetooth headsets can be overwhelming as there are just so many to choose from &#8211; all promising the same thing &#8211; exceptional call quality and easy to use controls. The Jawbone Icon delivers on both of these promises. It uses the latest Jawbone technology that not only detects vibrations in your jawbone but also uses dual microphones to eliminate background noise.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this headset my favourite though is the extra stuff it does. It supports &#8216;voice apps&#8217; &#8211; small downloadable apps that add extra functionality to the headset &#8211; for example voice overs for battery levels and caller ID and support for A2DP.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8130\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/jawbone-icon-bluetooth-headset-the-thinker-black-24000\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8130\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8130\" title=\"Best Wave Bluetooth Headset\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs5.jpg\" alt=\"Best Wave Bluetooth Headset\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs5.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/best-wave-accs5-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Best Wave Bluetooth Headset<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Best Samsung Wave Bluetooth Headphones: <a title=\"Samsung SBH-650 Stereo Bluetooth Headset\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung-sbh-650-stereo-bluetooth-headset-18374\">Samsung SBH-650 Stereo Bluetooth Headset<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not content with listening to your music through just one ear? Then you need this! It&#8217;s a stereo bluetooth headset that allows you to listen to music and videos from your Wave without wires and using your own 3.5mm headphones if you prefer.
