Accessories for the HTC HD7

First, let’s look at the HD7 itself. Running on Windows Phone 7, the HD7 also has a super fast processor, making it one of the best multimedia devices out. The display is 4.3″, the camera include with the phone is 5 megapixels, and the memory is 16 GB. In addition, the HD7 has loud dual stereo speakers, and a built-in kickstand to let you stand it up on any flat surface, making the device perfect for its role as a media presenter. But, to take the best advantage of these media capabilities, you should look at these HTC HD7 accessories now available.

Like with any electronic device, protection is number one priority, this has not changed with the HD7, and a perfect way to start protecting is with a case.  The design of the HD7 makes it more difficult to find a case that will not only accommodate the built-in kickstand, but also not block the speakers on the sides. The two choices for protection are the HTC HD7 holster and a case. A holster, in many materials, colors and shapes, is built to hold the larger size of this phone, and should have a swivel clip on the back to attach the phone in the case to a purse or a belt — the most common type of holster is made of black leather. Though a holster does an excellent job of protecting the phone while it is in the case, it does not protect the phone in use. The best protection for your HD7 would be a case, made out of clear plastic sheets that stick directly to the phone and protect the body against scratches. A HD7 case has cutouts to allow the use of the kickstand, and the ports. The thin layer of the skin case does not block sound, enabling full use of the speakers.

Although the big touch screen is what sets this device apart from many other smart phones, it also does add another thing the user must really protect. The screen, even with only normal daily use, gets covered with greasy fingerprints and may even get scratched. One way to help your screen look like the first time you got it would be by using a screen protector. Screen protectors are merely durable plastic sheets that cover the display screen, yet still allow the phone to operate as if there were no covering. These sheets of plastic may be replaced as needed at any time.

Unfortunately, the battery life of the HD7 phone is not that great, being only a small 1230 mAh battery, much less powerful than most other smart phones. Swapping batteries is not difficult at all, users will be able to swap them easily at any time. Buy an extra HTC HD7 battery as a gift to be sure the HD7 owner will never have to worry about running out of power.

The HD7 makes use of the microUSB port not only to charge the device, but also to sync it. An extra charging cable to fit that port is also an excellent gift idea. It is never a bad idea to have extra charging options when it comes to dealing with smart phones.
