Useful Accessories
If you enjoy tricking out your car or accessorizing your outfits to the max, there’s plenty of Droid 2 bling out there for you to find. If, however, you’re in the market for something useful, consider the following:
Cases. Cases protect the Droid 2 against damage—when you drop it, for example. You’ll find plenty of kinds of cases to choose from, depending on your style preferences, budget, and needs. You’ll find hard protective cases, rubberized protective cases, holsters with belt clips, and more.
Screen protectors. These thin sheets of plastic safeguard your Droid 2’s glass screen, greatly reducing the risk of scratches. They’re thin enough so that you won’t notice they’re there.
Car chargers. Plug one end into your Droid 2, and the other into your 12-volt power oulet, and you can charge your Droid 2 while you’re on the go.
Multimedia Docking Station. Turn your Droid 2 horizontally and put it into the docking station, and you can watch video, use it as a digital picture frame, and so on.
Chargers and cables. There are plenty of battery chargers and USB cables you can buy to supplement or replace the ones that came with your Droid 2, including portable chargers.
Bluetooth headset. With one of these, you can talk on your Droid 2 by speaking into the wireless headset.
Headphones. You’ll want these to listen to your music collection.
External speakers. Want to share your music with others? Get external speakers to plug into the Droid 2.
