5 cell phone accessories to consider for your next work trip

By

If you go on business trips relatively frequently, then you already know that there’s one thing that you can’t get through a work trip without — your cell phone. Whether you’re answering emails from the tarmac, taking a rideshare service to your conference or calling in to a meeting from the road, your cell phone is vital to your business trip’s success. So why not make using your cell phone while on the go a little bit easier? You can do so with one of these five cell phone accessories. 

Keep your cell phone safely on you while also going hands-free at your next conference or other business event. This cross-body phone case features a long strap so you can keep your cell phone on your hip at all times, but without needing to juggle it around as you shake hands or sift through paperwork. Stylish, it comes in several different colors and with gold hardware. Plus, the design allows access to your phone’s side buttons and charging ports, for extra convenience, and there’s even a handy pocket for business cards or credit cards.

If cross-body designs aren’t really your thing, you might want to opt for a similar phone lanyard. This case features a minimalistic design that only covers your phone as needed to keep it securely in place, while still allowing you complete access to all buttons, ports and the screen. Plus, if your work trip has you running through busy city streets, you’ll be glad that this case keeps your phone right where you can see it.

A lot of jobs these days require social posting, and if your team has tasked you with capturing some photos and video of your work trip or conference, you’re going to need a better way to take those selfies — like with this extendable, battery-free selfie stick. Easily take photos or videos of the entire team in the moment.

Looking to downsize before your next business trip? Just want less to carry overall? Opt for this slim, stick-on wallet that easily attaches to the back of your phone. It can carry your identification, cards, cash and more, so you only need to carry your cell phone, no need for lugging along a hefty wallet, too.

Never drop your cell phone in the airport again. If you find yourself struggling to hold tight to your phone as you wrestle with luggage or your laptop bag, but you don’t like those bulky pop-able grips, opt for this slim cell phone grip that allows you to hold your phone securely, without adding extra weight or width.
