Accessories

Now lets talk about the accessories that I have already used or that I am already using right now.

Skins

I am not a case guy ususally and I only use cases when I have nothing to keep my phone protected from accidental drops and scratches. To make the phone profile in the same as you get it and keeping it protected from scratches too I prefer to use skins on my phone. It an give you a way to put a new color if your phone manufacturer is not offering that color too.

Cases and Covers

Its to good to have cases when you don't have any mentioned skins on it. If you do drop your phone a lot then put on some cases. Here are the fews that I have tried already,

RhinoShield Buper Cases

These are my favourite cases. They are the real cases that can protect from drops even from 6feets ad more (I tested till 6). The cimpany claims to be 11 feets and more.

So far I have only used Google Pixel Launcher that comes with the phone. Before even the pixel phone was launched I haved alraedy created that using various ways, Since pixel launcher us exclusive to Pixel phones only there are no way to get it 100% same on other devices and platform, But upto some a very close look you can get. If you don't have pixel phones then watch the belwo demos to create the launchers.
