Best Samsung Galaxy Player 50 case and accessories

Many people wonder if they need a Samsung Galaxy Player 50 case or accessories after they buy their device. The Player 50 is Samsung’s answer to Apple’s iPod touch or personal media player (PMP) and has has all of the features of an Android smart phone like a 2 megapixel camera, fast CPU, FM radio and a 3.2 inch touch screen. All it lacks is cell service radio. This device is the best solution for people who want Android capabilities but do not want to pay for the recurring cell phone cost. Like a cell phone, the Galaxy Player needs some accessories to make the most of its capabilities.

Case

The most important accessory for almost every PMP is a good case. This is especially true for the Player 50 because of its plastic shell that is prone to blemishes from minor accidents. The two most popular types of cases for this Samsung Galaxy are holster and glove cases. Holsters case are pouches made from plastic or leather which wraps the device when it is not in use. They are made from extra thick materials to protect the Player from scratches and drops. In addition, holsters have a powerful clip that is used to attach the PMP on to a belt or purse strap. The higher quality holsters design the clips to swivel freely to make it easier to wear the carrier and have a flap that can secure the Player inside the holster.

The second most popular case style for the Player 50 is the Glove case. Unlike holsters, Glove cases are meant to be on at all times so they can give full time protection. But since these cases are always on your phone, many users are very conscious adding additional bulk. Manufacturers are always looking for ways to slim down their cases which can lead to less protection from glove cases versus holsters. Nevertheless glove cases do a good job at shielding the Galaxy from scratches and can help during small drops. In addition, glove cases come in many styles an colors so they are an easy way to change the look of your PMP and make a statement about yourself.

Screen protector

The Galaxy Player’s front is dominated by its 3.2 inch screen. This display is the primary input and output for the PMP but is sensitive to damage from minor accidents. To protect your device from scratches or other imperfections that would obstruct your view, it is a good idea to use a screen protector. These sheets of very thin plastic stick right on to your screen and absorb the damage that would normally blemish your display.

Extra memory

No matter if you buy the 8 GB or the 16 GB version of the player, at some point you will want more space. Fortunately Samsung makes adding more memory pretty easy using the device’s microSD port. The Player can hold up to a 32 GB memory card which will give you a lot more breathing room for your movies, apps and music.

Battery

If you use your Samsung Player in the road a lot, you can easily run low on juice. You can often find a power socket but it is just inconvenient to wait around while your device recharges. Since there currently no Samsung Galaxy Player 50 case with a built in battery like the iPhone, the next best choice in these situations is to carry around a spare replacement battery. Having the portable extra power source on hand allows you to switch out a dead battery for a fully charged one in a matter of minutes.
