By Albert Bitar

What are Cell Phone Faceplates?

Most Mobile phones these days, and even in earlier days, have covers for them. The covers are mainly called faceplates, skins, snap on protectors, or just protectors. These items for your cell phone's protection and style come in a many forms, styles, colors, designs, and textures. Faceplates are also available with different logos of your favorite sports teams, people, television shows, bands, or just about anything else you can think of. Stores that sell faceplates usually have a wide selection of protectors for most brand name phones plus each and every type of person.

What Function Do Faceplates Provide?

Regardless of brand, cellular phones are delicate devices and prone to breakage and may not work properly if not taken care of. Most consumers who own a mobile phone have dropped it at least once or more, and some even dozens of times. But top of the line cell phones are not inexpensive, and if they do not have insurance on the phone, they are at risk of being out of pocket hundreds of dollars to buy a brand new phone. Not to mention, they may lose their contact numbers on top of it if not backed up.

That's where cell phone faceplates come in to protect the phone so there is much less worry about it being broken into pieces when dropped on a hard surface. Plus cellular phone faceplates offer another layer of protection against shock which could damage the electronic components of the phone.

Not only do cell phone faceplates protect the cell phone from getting chipped, nicked, bumped, or smashed, they also provide an element of style for the owner of the phone. Cell phone faceplates are seen as extensions of the owners' personalities. Even when not made with a logo, a colorful faceplate can be used to match outfits and styles of dress. This mixing and matching is easy because most cell phone faceplates are inexpensive.

Cell Phone Faceplates Retailers

Cell phone faceplates are made for all the top brand cell phones on the market today: Apple, Audiovox, Motorola, LG, Nokia, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony Ericsson, Kyocera, Blackberry, and Sanyo. And, if any other brands of cell phones are introduced, manufacturers will be quick to design a series of cell phone faceplates for those specific brands.

Mobile phone faceplates are readily available online, and off. Not only are there an almost infinite amount of cell phone faceplate designs online, you can also visit your local cell phone accessory store, or mall where many retailers are set up offering a wide selection of protectors. Although availability is wide, not all cell phone faceplates are the same. Make sure that it is tough enough to last, and help protect your phone from damage when dropped or bumped against hard, or sharp surfaces.

If you buy one for $2, chances are it will fall apart in no time. It is important that you remember that you get what you pay for and cell phone faceplates are no exception. In addition to the strength and durability, you want to make sure the cell phone faceplates you are looking at are compatible with your phone. If you have a larger phone with many functions (i.e. Blackberry), you want to make sure the cell phone protector matches the face of your phone and the buttons and/or screen are not covered so you cannot access them.

Cell phone faceplates can run from $5-$40. However for cell phones like the Blackberry, myTouch, and iTouch, faceplates might run a little bit more. With that in mind, for the most part faceplates are very reasonable in price overall. Additionally the model, brand, and material used also play a big part in how much you will pay for your cell phone protector. For example; leather protectors are usually more expensive and some cell phone accessory manufacturers have made very exclusive gem studded mobile phone faceplates for the rich, and maybe not so famous individuals to enjoy.
