The best Samsung Galaxy S 2 accessories will help your top of the range handset do so much more. Such as? Well, help you find the nearest public house, impress people with its new luxury leather housing, and keep the screen scratch-free and looking brand new into the bargain.
And considering the S 2 is already in the running for phone of the year, with a stunningly bright AMOLED screen and super quick processor making using it buttery smooth, these are ways to make a great phone even better. Find out how after the break.
Zenus Prestige Luxury Basic Series, £26.95
If you want a more luxury look that’s still understated, this case is made from quilted leather, so resembles the kind of thing James Bond would pull out the inside pocket of his tuxedo. A soft, microfibre interior keeps your Galaxy S 2 safe from scratches, and because of its shape the camera lens is protected when you lay it flat on a table. There are even cutaways, so you can access all the ports without taking out the phone. Why would it ever leave?
Vehicle Dock, £34.95
Now smart phones have so may capabilities, carrying another device seems foolhardy. Pucker this dock to your windscreen, clip in your brand new Samsung phone, and – hey presto – your S 2 is now a satnav. Sweet. It’ll charge it at the same time, so you won’t have to worry about running low on juice once you arrive at your destination, and you can have it in landscape or portrait, depending on how much space you’ve got. And it’s designed specifically for the S 2, so it’ll fit like a glove.
Casemate Barely There, £14.99
Cases don’t come much more minimal than this. Just like it says on the tin, the case hugs the device, adding minimal bulk so it won’t take up much more room in your pocket. It’s more of a skin than a case really, so you’ll barely notice it. But just because it’s slim, doesn’t mean it scrimps on the protection: it’s made from a plastic shell that’s hard to break, and comes in different colours to add some pizazz. Because tank-like protection doesn’t have to mean adding bulk.
Martin Fields Screen Protector, £12.99
Maybe you don’t want an entire case for your phone (you’re no butterfingers, after all), you just want the screen to stay scratch-free and easy to see. Well this is your answer, with a patented scratch-resistant coating keeping it looking like new for years. A polarised anti-glare coating reduces eye strain while maintaining true colours reproduction, and you can use the screen just as before. So now you can keep your phone in the same pocket as your keys without a second thought.
Samsung MHL Adapter Port Dual-Purpose USB or HDMI Video Out, £17.99
You’ve used the Galaxy S2’s ace HD video recording to capture footage of a friend making a fool of himself, so how to watch it back? Sure, you could all crowd round the screen and snigger, but wouldn’t it be better to sit round the big screen to see it all its gory detail? Of course it would. Just plug in this cable and it’ll let you watch your videos back in your lounge, outputting HD footage through the phone’s USB port. Popcorn at the ready.
