Check out these 10 must-have cell phone accessories.

1. The selfie stick

People definitely have mixed feelings about this invention. On one hand, it’ God’s gift to the picture-taking obsessed crowd and on the other, it’s an obnoxious tool that should be taken off the shelves. But, let’s be honest, no one likes that awkward moment of going up to a rando minding their own business saying, “Can you take a picture of us, please?” This makes everyone’s life easier.

2. A portable charger

The moment your phone dies and you have no access to a charger is probably the most gut-wrenching feeling ever. Maybe that’s a little dramatic, but it definitely doesn’t sit well with most people. You find yourself feeling disconnected from the outside world, even if you’re surrounded by a group of people. Eliminate that feeling with a portable charger.

10. Glass screen protector

If there are moments in life when you pray your absolute hardest, dropping your phone is definitely included in there. It’s like everything slows down and you watch as your phone smashes on the ground. You take a breath and brace yourself for what you’re about to pick up and find. This is perfect for those moments because it takes the worry out. With a glass screen protector, if your phone falls, it’s the glass that cracks, not the actual screen. They can be a little pricey, but for the clumsy ones out there, it’s totally worth it.
