(Gadget) Get a new look on the cheap with these customizable phones

Deep-pocketed power users may buy new smartphones once a year or even every few months to take advantage of improved displays, better cameras and faster processors, but the majority of owners are more likely to tire of their device's appearance long before its outdated specs. A few manufacturers have taken a new approach when designing their handsets, opting to include not only replaceable batteries, but also swappable backs, that let you change the look of your phone for only a few bucks. Samsung's Galaxy S5 and LG's G3 are two recent flagships that you can change up after purchase, but there are a few other options to consider, too. If you're feeling extra ambitious, you could even replace the backplate on, say, an iPhone 5s, but such an undertaking requires precise work, pricier parts and a voided warranty. Click through for our customizable picks that keep things simple (and cheap).

(Gadget) Logitech protection+ case announced

I suppose it makes perfect sense for you to have that kind of protective feeling over your brand new smartphone, especially if it happens to fall under the high end category. You would go to great lengths so that your smartphone does not receive any scratches or nicks, or even worse, suffer from dents due to an accidental drop. The question raised is this – just what kind of protective case should I get for my new smartphone then that offers a balance of quality as well as affordability? Logitech might have just the answer – only if you are rocking to a Samsung Galaxy S5 or an iPhone 5/5s, of course, thanks to the introduction of the Logitech protection+.

The Logitech protection+ will boast of a slim, yet ultra-protective, outer shell, where it is accompanied by flex-resistant corners and impact-absorbent channels. This will safeguard your smartphone from whatever the world throws at it, although this is not going to make your non-swimming smartphone waterproof – and this is where the Galaxy S5 has a clear edge over the Apple iPhones, since Samsung’s offering is not afraid of getting wet at all.

The Logitech protection+ case will boast of a hard polycarbonate body alongside impact-resistant polymers in each corner which will mitigate damage from impacts by absorbing shocks and dissipating them across the surface of your case. Apart from that, tucked within its polycarbonate shell, the case itself will boast of impact channels and a layer of thermoplastic rubber that will do their bit to absorb additional vibrations. Just for that added peace of mind, the Logitech protection+ case is said to exceed the U.S. Military drop-test standard (MIL-STD 810 G) for “rugged” devices, ensuring it will have no issues whatsoever protecting your phone from drops up to 1.8 meters high.

The case itself boasts of a hidden metal plate that will play nice with all Logitech smartphone mounts. This protection+ case will retail for $34.99 a pop when it arrives next month.

(Gadget) Logitech +trip and +drive mounts.

Logitech has come up with its fair share of accessories in the past for mobile devices like the Logitech PRO slim protective case, and it does not look as though the Swiss-based company is going to stop anytime soon. In fact, they have just lined up a couple of new accessories that will be released later this August, calling it the +trip and +drive mounts. The +trip will be able to quickly clip to any air vent in your vehicle so that your smartphone remains secure and in view at all times, where a magnet securely holds your smartphone to the +trip mount, letting you handle audio, navigation and phone calls with aplomb. It is small but definitely stylish, and has been specially designed for use during daily commutes and business trips. Each +trip mount will be accompanied by a pair of universal adapters, making it play nice with just about smartphones of all shapes and sizes.

As for the more modern looking +drive mount that you see above, it can be attached to your windshield or dashboard courtesy of a single twist-activated suction cup, while a magnet ensures that your smartphone remains securely in place. The +drive will feature a couple of universal adapters as well that can hold any smartphone or case vertically or horizontally. Expect the Logitech +trip air vent mount and +drive windshield/dashboard mount to arrive later next month for $29.99 and $49.99, respectively.
