Remember the Cellular Line Anti-Slip Pad from last week? Well, it found its way into my car on a semi-permanent basis. Because of this, I decided to film it in action once more, but this time as I drove around… Again, I’ve got to say, considering I featured …
The best bit about Sundays has to be the lie-in. My son let me sleep until 6.15 this morning, so I’m up and looking for bargains whilst preparing breakfast. Today this SanDisk 32GB microSD card caught my eye. It’s available from GizzmoHeaven for just £14.99, and it’s a …
The Veho 360 degree M3 Bluetooth speaker is a highly compact piece of personal pocket PA. It’s all very well being small and wireless, but I wanted to know if it’s any better than the speaker on my phone. Likes Compact Loud for its size Robust feel Dislikes …
I am a very proud owner of a Sony Xperia Z and up until now I have been using a very cheap case that I picked up in a market which has been offering me minimal protection. When Mobilefun offered the chance to review the Muvit Slim and …

Phone cases are all pretty similar from a certain distance. This one, though, isn’t. An iPhone 5 case that costs £199.99? That’s gotta be pretty good to start with. The Izzi camera case protects your iPhone and also adds three different lenses that sit over the existing lens. …
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has just gone on sale from certain outlets but what does everyone need to snazz up their brand new premium tablet? That right, official accessories. The good news is that whilst the accessories aren’t quite available yet, they are up for pre-order from …
Cabling is always a bit of a nightmare. I can’t be the only one who’s got a knotted mess of cabling behind sofas, under beds and in the foot-well of my car. The microUSB charging standard should be just that – a standard. For most of the time …
This fell out of my local newspaper, so I thought I’d share the love. If you’d like to get anything from the Orange accessories store there’s a £5 voucher here. Just whack in “5offaccess” and you’ll see your total bill reduce by a fiver. There’s also 30& off …
You know what it’s like. You walk into an electrical store and you want to get some speakers to work with your new Samsung Galaxy SIII or Galaxy Note. But when you look around the store all you can find are iPhone docks, speaker docks and random Bluetooth …
Bog off! Yeah you with the Samsung Galaxy phone, you heard me. Bog off to your local O2 store and grab yourself a couple of clip-on flip cases. Samsung do some great accessories, and one of my favourites is the flip style case that replaces the battery cover …
This is the third in the RHA series that we here at Coolsmartphone have reviewed following on from the MA350’s and the CA-200 headphones. Both the 350’s and the CA200’s were impressive with the RHA-MA350’s being particularly good. So, how do the current top of the range MA450i’s …
The trouble with phone cases are that its long been disputed which is better for protection. Hard cases, or softer silicon/TPU cases. The solution may be hybrid cases which is where the Slim Armor for the iPhone 5 comes in. The Slim Armor is a 2 part case …
Just in case you’re wondering why we’re running an article on Samsung Galaxy Note accessories, then you need to remember that the original generation Samsung Galaxy Note may have been replaced, but the trusty old behemoth is still selling by the oversized bucket load on some of the …
We’ve already seen the Pong iPhone 4 / 4S case and recently had a nose around the iPad case too. A case, you might think, doesn’t take a great deal of explanation or reviewing. However, the people at Pong are quite clever. All of their cases, including this …
After an eternity of waiting and speculation, it seems the elusive ASUS Nexus 7 dock may be about to hit the United States and Europe this month. In the Netherlands, AndroidWorld.nl has word from ASUS Benelux that the dock will arrive in mid-January. Prices are speculated to be …
Apple’s smart cover case for it’s iPad lineup is one of the best pieces of accessory design in recent memory. But does a similar paradigm transfer over to the considerably smaller iPhone? Guoer have given it a try and here’s what I think Let’s jump straight into one …

This box can be a little tricky to explain, but I’ll try my best. It lets you make and receive calls through your mobile phone or phones with any standard home phone. In the most simple setup you merely need to plug your corded or cordless home phone …
Two whole decades. 1992 eh? Heck, I wasn’t even born. OK, who’s laughing? The guys at Clove are celebrating the fact that they’ve been in operation for 20 years. You can celebrate too, because Clove are giving away loads of stuff in a daily giveaway draw. There’s 150 …
Companies get in touch regularly asking us to take a look at their products. It’s part of the job I favour. Recently I got a QDOS Metallics case in the post. I had an iPhone 4S which has now made it’s way to a new home, my Dad. …
We get a number of companies approaching us daily, trying to get a mention of their latest app, handset or accessory. They’ll try a number of tricks to try and pursuade us but, apart from the promise of free donuts, we rarely cave in to these tempting offers. …
Yes, it’s one of those voucher sites, yes, the “original price” is probably inflated a little but, for some of you, this could be just the thing. The SIII accessories bundle is £9.99 (although there’s some confusion on the site and it also says £9.98) and includes a …
Here at Coolsmartphone each of the writers goes through an inordinate amount of handsets and accessories that go with them. We each have our own favourite suppliers that we find to be reliable and prompt. We therefore thought that we would bring a profile of the ones that …
Since we published our DIY nano-SIM story the gates have well and truly opened. Many giffgaff members have already gone and bought themselves a nano-SIM cutter to hack down a standard-sized SIM. This is being done purely because, at present, giffgaff aren’t providing them and iPhone 5 owners …
We all know quite how big the Samsung Galaxy Note is. A car dock for such a beast is also going to have to be pretty sizeable. When the Vehicle Dock arrived I was shocked, the box was massive, what on earth had I ordered? Luckily upon opening …
Mobilefun have published details of some official Cases for the Google Nexus 7. There are four new cases and a screen protector. Quite why these haven’t been leaked before or whether these are licensed by Asus /Google I’m not sure. Either way they all look pretty useful. So …
So, you have your shiny new Nexus 7, you’ve installed all your apps and got it running exactly as you want it. But what about those official accessories to go with it. After all those pesky iPad’s have them in their thousands! Well, according to Nordic Hardware the official …
It’s the weekend at last, and if the gorgeous weather holds, we should be getting the barbecues out and thinking of our summer holidays. When you do go abroad, there’s always that issue of travel adapters. Usually you’ve lost them, and you put them in “a safe place” …
Amazon have chipped the price of an official SanDisk 16GB microSDHC card (class 4) to just £5.66. The price, apparently, used to be £65. To be honest there’s not a great deal more we can say. If you need more storage and have a microSD brimming over with …
Got an iPhone? Want to get a cover for it and protect your purchase? Sure, there’s stacks to choose from, but we think this is the one to get. HMV have teamed up with the Teenage Cancer Trust to offer these branded iPhone 4/4S covers to raise both …
Whilst many smartphones now come with in-ear headphones and on-board technology to make your tunes sound better, there’s still a certain amount of disappointment when you use the external speaker on your phone for playing music. Sound quality is also a bit pants when using the external speaker …
As regular readers will probably be aware I am an Android fan. I don’t particularly dislike Apple but I have no love for them either. For me iOS is a bland piece of software that is only bought to life by the plethora of apps that is available …
It could be said that Samsung are clearly misleading people when they claim that the new Galaxy S III is “Made for Humans”. As the pictures show, it may be designed to murder them viciously and without remorse. Pictures posted by an angry unsuspecting member of the public calling …
Yesterday I spotted that some of the Galaxy accessories are coming down in price. This is obviously due to the Galaxy S3 being due out very soon. Various outlets are having a clear-out. The most interesting piece I saw was a USB gender changer for the Galaxy S2 …
So, whilst I can’t review any Galaxy SIII accessories yet, I can at least review some Galaxy SII accessories instead. This is called the Samsung Galaxy S2 Sound Station Sound Horn, but I’m just going to call it the “Sound Horn” because it’s a lot better for my …
We get a number of accessories to review here at Coolsmartphone. This one has taken a while to arrive, but it’s simple and effective. It won’t take a great deal to describe and there’s not a great deal of complexity about it, but that’s always a good thing …
With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy SIII only days away, the hard working people over at Mobilefun.co.uk have released images and video of the new accessories for the class leading handset. Doubling up as both a holder for the S3 and a battery charger, the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 …
