If you have a
Motorola RAZR mobile phone I am certain you have purchased
accessories for your
RAZOR or have at least thought about buying a
case,
battery, or
car charger. Since the
RAZR v3 is by far the
most popular cell phone ever to exist with over 50 million sold, you can imagine the amount of accessories that have been made for this phone. A very common
accessory to have would definitely be a case or
faceplate, as most people like to either protect their phone from being scratched or damaged, want to add some unique style to it, or a combination of both.
Different Types Of Motorola RAZR Cases
There are so many different case types out there that it can be very overwhelming when searching for the kind you are interested in. If you have certain style in mind when you start looking for one this will definitely help you, but if you have no idea what your looking for it can hard to decide what all your options are. I am going to help you out here and explain what some of the more popular types are and how they function with your phone.
Snap On Leather Hard Case
My favorite phone case is the snap on leather case. This is a hard and durable plastic case on the inside with a leather cover on the outside. This is very beneficial because of how the case attaches to the phone and the functionality it allows. This type of case come’s in two pieces, a front and back piece. It is very easy to install and does not require any tools. You install it by snapping the back piece on the back part of the phone and the front piece on the front part of the phone. You are then able to use your phone just as you normally would have if it did not have a case on it at all. They also come in many different varieties with various colors and styles to choose from.
Crystal Hard Case
The crystal hard case is a hard plastic case that is very similar to the snap on leather hard case except it does not have the leather covering on the outside portion. The type of case comes in many different colors, one of the most popular being a clear crystal hard case. If you have a favorite sports team or are looking for a unique design or look for your phone this will most likely be your best option. You can find crystal hard cases in just about any pattern, design, or sports team you can think of. These cases also can be available with or without a belt clip attachment, so be sure to check that out prior to your purchase. This is a great option at a low cost for those on a budget.
RAZR Leather Pouches
Leather pouches are a type of case that has become very common and is liked mainly by those that like having the case and phone attached via a belt clip or belt loop. There are some RAZR leather pouches that are not able to be attached with a belt clip, but most have that capability. This is a good choice for business professionals that are looking for something that is sleek, nice, professional, and functions well. These can be found in many different styles and colors depending on your needs or desired type.
Soft Leather Case
My least favorite of these cases is the soft leather case. This type of case attaches to the phone on the front and back as is basically setup to function as one piece together. I think that think can look nice when the phone is not in use, but when the phone needs to be used to make a call or send a text message your going to have a bunching in the leather at the back of the phone. This would be something that I would find very annoying. That is one reason why I would never recommend this type of case. However, there are tons of people that love this type of case and will never use a different kind on their mobile phone.
RAZR Skins
There is also another type of phone cover I have discussed in a previous post, feel free to check it out if your interested in Motorola RAZR Skins cases.
Buying Accessories On eBay
In my opinion the best place to find RAZR Accessories is on eBay. They have the widest selection with the best prices, always a winning combination in my mind. Check out eBay seller mjdistributor, if your interested in the snap on leather cases for your cell phone, they have some excellent options and great prices.

There are tons of Motorola RAZR
accessories out there for
mobile phones. An alternative to having a case for your phone is to purchase a
skin for it. If you are not familiar with what
Motorla RAZR skins are, sometimes called
RAZOR skins, I will explain what they are. It is basically a sticker made of commercial grade super-vinyl that is perfectly cutout to fit on your phone. This vinyl skin is placed on the front and back of your phone. It
prevents your cell phone from getting scratched as the
skin is scratch resistant. It is very easy to install the skin (no tools required) and it will not damage your phone in any way or leave a sticky residue if you remove the skin. Another awesome feature a RAZR skin adds to your phone is
style. If you are bored with the plain look of your phone or just simply want a change, there are 100’s of different skins to choose from.
Where to buy Motorola RAZR Skins
There are several websites out there that sale these phone skins. RazrSkins.com and Phonestyle.com are a couple of websites that have these skins available for sale. The first site listed does not have the best variety in comparison the the second site. Phonestyle.com does have better pricing, they charge $9.99 per skin with $3.95 for shipping. In my opinion the best place to purchase a RAZR skin is eBay. There is a wide variety of this item available for sale and they have the best prices. You can easily purchase one of these skins and have it shipped to you for under $10. To search for the skins available, go to eBay’s homepage and type in Motorola RAZR Skins in the search bar. You will come up with a big list of the items available, all you have to do is sort through them until you find the one you want. You might even be able to find some bling razr phone covers if that interests you.
Skin Compatibility with RAZR Phone Models
These RAZR v3 skins are manufactured for virtually all models of the razr phones. The most common being the any model that has the same dimensions as the original RAZR V3 phone. So check the dimensions of your model to verify compatibility.
If you have any questions of about these items please feel free to leave a comment with your question and I will gladly respond back.

I have been a customer of
Verizon Wireless for over 5 years. During this time their
customer service has had some drastic changes. I remember back when I first signed up for service with them I had to sign a 2 year contract in order to get a good deal on a new phone. A few months after I had signed up with them I was really starting to regret it. For the first year or two it was rare that a month went by that my bill was correct. It was almost always wrong and I would have to call customer service to get my
bill fixed and it was not abnormal for me to wait on the phone for over an hour each time I called. It was so frustrating to deal with this all the time and when I actually was able to talk with customer service they were generally not very nice. I am here to tell you that this all changed a little over 2 years ago. Verizon did some major revamping of their customer service department and their entire
billing system was turned inside out. In my opinion they now offer some of the best customer service a large company could offer and my bill is now always right. It is so nice not to have to call and argue about my bill every month. It is evident they have hired a lot more
representatives to help in this department and they are now very
courteous, they answer your phone calls quickly, and they are generally very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Verizon as a service provider to anyone wanting
excellent customer service.

free mobile screensavers for cell phones and smartphones. What is a mobile
screensaver you might ask? It is just like a screensaver for your computer except it’s for your

mobile9.com,
freemobilefun.net, and

After you have done this you will be able to browse through the different categories to find one you like, make sure that it is compatible with your phone model. You then will have two options for transferring the screensaver to your phone. The 1st option is to download it directly to your phone. To do this you will need to have access to a web browser on your phone. If you do, you will be able to download it using a WAP service. If you do not have a web browser or access to the mobile web via your phone you will have to download the file to your computer. Once it is on your computer you will be able to transfer the file to your
cell phone via Bluetooth or USB cable. Consult your user manual if you do not know what capabilities your phone has or if you need instructions on using the USB cable or Bluetooth. If your looking for
free Ringtones,

free Mobile Games and
free Operator Logos, there are websites out there that offer these services aswell. Please feel free to email me is you have any questions:

Since the release of the iPhone just over a week ago there have been loads of talk going on throughout the cell phone industry. It has been one of the hottest topics to discuss and has had consumers going nuts. In a previous post on this website I provided a summary of many user reviews that I have read, titled
iPhone User Reviews. This post discussed the initial reactions of those that had purchased a new iPhone and there were a lot of people that purchased one. The last I heard Apple sold over 500,000 in the first weekend there were available for sale. I feel that most users absolutely love the iPhone and its amazing capabilities and you can see why if you read the article. However, there have been complaints about the iPhone from users. I have decided to compile a list of the current complaints out there and attempt to provide you with some possible solutions to the different complaints. So in essence I am going to do all the research for you and provide you with the solutions to the
iPhone Complaints. Some of the issues I will be covering will be the
battery life,
slow Internet speed,
activation problems,
touch screen durability, and
application issues. This list will be updated with the solutions shortly and new issues will be added as they arise. If you have any questions or issues you would like me to find the solution to or offer any help for please let me know.
