Top 4 Ways to Make Your Phone Your Own

You're sitting around a café table with your friends - drinks, phones and wallets are crowding the table, and suddenly somebody's phone rings. Even if you recognize your ring tone,there's a better than average chance that you'll pick up someone else's phone first … simply because they all look the same! Today we check out the top ways to personalize your phone, both with cell phone accessories and the inbuilt capabilities.
Custom Cell Phone Cases
This is the most obvious, and in some ways the most flexible way to personalise your phone. Stores like imakemycase.com allow you to upload your own photo or picture, and you can also move it, resize it, mirror and add effects to it to create a completely unique cell phone accessory. There are other websites across the net that will do it as well - do a bit of hunting and you could get a discount!
Toys and Danglies
There are plenty of bits and pieces you can get to dangle off your phone - jewels, figurines, tassels, etc. Choose the ones that don't have any fabric components - otherwise you'll find they start looking pretty grubby after a while!
Apps!
Having a load of awesome apps as cell phone accessories won’t really help you identify your phone from among your buddies' ones when it rings at the café … but it is one of the major ways that cell phone personalization occurs nowadays, so we couldn’t possibly ignore it. There are plenty of free apps, and you can get both useful and fun ones for just a couple of dollars in the iPhone store.
Wallpapers and screensavers
Every cellphone on the market today has the capability to set both individualised wallpapers and screensavers. Many let you create a slideshow, or even set a video to play as your screensaver. Don't forget that they chew up battery life … make sure you have a spare cell phone accessory battery with you at all times if you are going to personalize with video screensavers!
