If you're getting someone an Android phone for the holidays—or if you got one for yourself—the next step is to accessorize. Accessories make great companion gifts that are not only thoughtful, but are super useful to boot. Here are a few handy accessories to make that new smartphone even more awesome. In fact, they're so handy that they'll fit perfectly inside that stocking hanging from your fireplace mantle.
Protective case
Sure, it's a shame to keep your shiny new smartphone covered up, but failing to give it a protective case leaves the device vulnerable to smudges and scratches—or, worse, shattered glass and bent metal. A case is an excellent companion gift to any Android phone.
Whichever type of case you choose, make sure it doesn't block its speakers, headphone jack, microphones, charge port, camera lens and flash on the back, or any other button or port—unless, of course, the case is designed so that you remove your phone to use it.
