The Top 7 Mobile Accessories for Commuters

In this post, we list the top seven mobile accessories for commuters, that can help commuters enjoy a less stressful journey to and from work – yes, that blissful time spent staring out of the window while being bodily crushed (train/bus seats are a luxury, remember) or stuck in traffic as the journey from A to B is made.

1.Let’s start simple, very simple.

If the commute takes a person outside and into the realm of inclement weather, a waterproof carrying case is required.

Also, whenever humans are involved, dropped mobiles are probable; imagine driving off without remembering to place the phone inside the vehicle.

It was an all too common occurrence at a field based company that will remain nameless. They even had an employee who accidentally delivered his phone into the toilet. Be warned.

A case is cost effective, often overlooked, but vital accessory. It may be the best £3-£25 you’ve ever spent.

2.Headphones need to be the best, who wants to hear their fellow passengers rather than the music coming through?

Whether it’s in ear, on ear or over the ear, it’s recommended that noise cancelling headphones are used. Best rated wireless ones are available for prices as little as £120, those with wiring are less expensive at £30 and upwards. Kids headphones start at £15 if the commute includes little ones.

3.Portable rechargers are a must. Samsung produce their own branded chargers for between £15 and £31 for their smartphones, but there are universal chargers that act for mobiles and tablets available for about £20. They are easy to carry, bag or pocket sized, easy to use and perfect to avoid commuting boredom.

4.For a commute in the car, the mobile obviously can’t be held by the driver or person supervising a learner driver if they’re on the phone - it’s illegal – so the mobile needs a secure holder or cradle, somewhere convenient to sit. Whether it’s a dashboard holster or a bracket attached to the car, this piece of kit is as needed as the steering wheel to ensure safe driving.

5.A Bluetooth earbud is a prerequisite for freedom. Mono and dual channel with hours of talk time and multipoint connections, a Bluetooth is convenient, discreet and safety enhancing.

6.Winter equals gloves and that can inhibit phone usage, but there are gloves that are tailored to be compatible with all touch screen devices so whether the customer has a Blackberry, an iphone or another brand of smartphone they can use their device without un-gloving for a snug commute.

7.Prone to using and losing stylus’? We recommend that rather than one have a whole selection to choose from. There’ll be one to hand whenever the last one, like a normal pen, vanishes into the ether. Packs of ten stylus’ are ridiculously inexpensive and well worth having.

There’s such a great choice of accessories online and in stores so indulge in the best gadgets around and be the envy of all fellow commuters. If you're looking for a new business mobile contract Midland Networks can help.
