Motorola Flip Cell Phone Covers

Motorola Flip Cell Phone Covers

There are a variety of different Motorola flip cell phone covers that you can consider, but they all typically fall into one of two categories. The first actually replaces an OEM component to your Motorola cell phone, whereas the latter simply wraps on top. They each have their advantages and disadvantages.

Personalized Faceplates

When you look at many of the Motorola flip phones that were made available in the last few years, you'll notice that the clamshell design on them are very similar. From the V535 to the V600, they all have a relatively rounded bottom half and a stubby antenna on top. When you have a handset like this, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. To do this, you may want to consider a personalized faceplate.

In a nutshell, these replace the original casing on your mobile phone and require a few moments of your time to install. For many Motorola flip phones, both the front and back cover can be replaced with new faceplates, and the old ones simply slide off. No screws or complicated procedure needed! You can get faceplates of different colors or even ones with intricate designs, perhaps featuring your favorite cartoon character or auto manufacturer.

The easy swapping of faceplates and the availability of such a variety are perhaps what made it such a huge cell phone accessory trend in recent years.

Protective Cell Phone Covers

The other kind of accessory you may consider is a protective cell phone cover. You can find this style made of many different materials, but cell phone covers should not be confused with cell phone cases. Typically, cases are holster-style and the handset can be placed in and taken out of it with ease. By contrast, a cover wraps around the outside of the flip phone, and you typically don't remove it from the cover when answering a call.

These Motorola flip cell phone covers are largely for protection purposes, but they can also serve aesthetic purposes as well. Look for them made out of neoprene, leather, or even hard plastic.

Where to Buy Motorola Phone Covers

You can find Motorola flip cell phone covers nearly anywhere that sell mobile phone accessories. Just make sure that you are buying a cover for the right model cell phone, because many handsets may look very similar. This doesn't necessarily mean that the covers are interchangeable!

In addition to the brick and mortar stores in your area, you can also try places like Craigslist and eBay for a selection of Motorola phone covers. The below listed stores are also viable options, but as always, be careful when shopping online.

• Westside Cellular sells most faceplates for between $8 and $30. Just find your model number (including the RAZR V3).
• CellPhoneShop organizes their selection by model number and they sell a number of different colors.
• Wireless Emporium seems to have a huge focus on the RAZR, RAZR2, and RAZR MAXX, so even if you've got these hot new handsets, they probably have you covered.
• AnniesCostumes.com probably has the most created flip phone covers, because they all feature furry animals for $10.95 each! Compact pocketability is not their strong suit.
