5 Ways To Save on Cell Phone Cases and Covers
With the economy in the tanker, everyone is looking to save a buck. Yes, even those who shell out hundreds for the latest and greatest smart phones.
So we have come up with five handy dandy ways to save on your next most important cell phone accessory; the case or cover.
1. Shop Online – it’s hard to beat the deals found online when it comes to just about any category of goods nowadays. The deals are BIG and all over, you just have to know where and when to look. My advice? Is to subscribe to the Twitter feeds of your fave cell phone case brand retailers and or follow on Facebook and scout out those mega deals.
2. Visit Local Shops on Sale Days – your next door Best Buy might have a great weekend sale happening on mobile phone cases and covers, so do give them a shot when you run out to run errands. Expect the usual suspects such as Body Glove, iFrog and others.
3. Bookmark Deal Sites – another excellent way to score a discounted case is via one of the many deal sites on the web. Give DealNews.com, SlickDeals.net and Woot.com your undivided attention and not only might you snag a heck of a deal on good cell phone case, you might even catch a freebie. I see them from time to time. Also pay a visit to coupon sites such as RetailMeNot.com where a retailer might be offering free shipping or a percent off coupon code.
4.Try eBay – don’t under estimate this powerhouse retailer when it comes to gadget accessories, as they carry it all and then some. What you want to do is look for a top rated seller who offers good merchandise and has a reputable profile. Seek out the high quality cell phone case brand names such as Belkin, Otterbox, iLuv and others. They’re all there and usually at a steep discount.
5. Go free – Have an iPhone 4? Then take advantage of the new iPhone 4 free bumper offer from Apple. This was offered to all customers (and expires September 30th, 2010) due to the continuing problem with the cell phone’s antenna. Essentially you can either get a refund if you bought a bumper or you can order a free one from their website when they become available.
As you can see there are a number of ways to save a penny when you go about looking for that perfect cell phone case or cover. Don’t scrimp though, as you know that you will receive lower quality goods if you get too cheap in your search.
Find a good high quality brand and then seek out ways to save on it, such as we have outlined above.
