A Review of the Most Popular Cell Phone Pouches

Mobile Phone Skins are a type of Mobile Phone Protective cover that is usually made from rubber or silicone. They fit snugly and make your phone easier to grip, and protect your phone from scratches it may get from everyday use. Often you can buy them in multi-packs so that you can change what color or design skin you use depending on your mood, your outfit, or for no reason at all. Some online companies offer customized skins with licensed artwork on them from football teams, baseball teams, and Nascar, among others.

Neoprene is another popular material that Cell Phone Pouches are made from. Neoprene is a synthetic material that is used in wetsuits, orthopedic braces, electrical insulation, and laptop sleeves. Neoprene is waterproof and protects the edges of your cellular phone from nicks and other damage. Wrist pouches are cases that attach to your wrist so you can hang onto your phone if you're without pockets or a handbag. Made of neoprene with Velcro, they wrap around your wrist like a large wristwatch.

Leather is a very popular material for Cell Phone Pouches. Leather is very durable, and doesn't make your hands sweaty the way synthetic vinyl can. Plus, leather pouches last for years - probably much longer than your mobile device will last. Leather mobile phone cases are made by leather goods companies like Coach and make a strong and classic style statement. Wallet cases have room for your driver's license and credit cards. They open like a book and give you an all-in-one carrier for your phone and other necessary gear.

For those interested in minimizing damage to the environment, Cell Phone Pouches are now being made from recycled tire tubes and are very popular in Japan. They wouldn't be a hit in Japan if they weren't cool looking, so you can rest assured these are nice looking cases. Some of them still have lettering on them from their previous lives in Japanese tires. Each one is unique, and they come in several colors. They attach with either a belt loop or a carabiner.

Now that you know the different types of Cell Phone Pouches, here are three of the most popular ones. The Cellex pouch for the Alltel LG Scoop AX260 is made from black leather and is compact, sturdy, and stylish. The belt clip keeps it right by your side at all times, or you can detach the belt clip and just use the case. Because it's made from reinforced leather it will hold up for years.

The magnetic clasp closure is easy to use and provides security and safety. This case is shock absorbent, water resistant, and is lined in soft leather and felt to protect your phone from scratches. It is also compatible with the LG Rumor LX260 from Sprint, the Scoop AX260 by Alltel, and the UX260 from US Cellular.

The leather case pouch for the Cingular 8125 8525 Cell Phone is very durable and looks great. With this pouch you can stop worrying about scratches on your phone or PDA. It has a double locking belt clip so you can put it right by your side and know that it will stay there. Made of stiff leather and suede, it is black with brown stitching. Dimensions are 4.5 inches x 1 inch by 2.3 inches (11.5 x 2.5 x 6.35 centimeters) and weighs 2.5 oz. It works for PDAs, large cell phones, large iPhones or mp3 players.

The Derek Lam Designer Cell Mobile Phone Case measures 5 1/4 inches x 2 5/8 inches, with an attached 21 inch chain. It also contains functional pockets that can be used for business cards or credit cards. They are very glamorous, with pink trim.

An entire book could be written about Cell Phone Pouches. Funny to think that just over a decade ago, cell phone cases were hardly a blip on the pop cultural radar, and now they are everywhere. Fortunately there is an abundance of choice for just about any style or size cell phone.
