Top 4 Phone Accessories That Every College Student Needs

College is going to be one of the most amazing places you’ll attend and it will be one of the most formative places and times of your life. As someone who was born in the late 90s, I grew up surrounded by technology and the internet. As an older Gen Z, I grew up without a phone but now more than ever, and I don’t think I can live without my phone.

And as someone who works with social media and writes for a living, I need my phone to survive and to work. Most of us are on our phones for more than 2 to 3 hours a day, which might be for work or entertainment purposes. So, without further ado, let’s get into this blog and talk about some of the essential phone accessories that we believe every college student needs.

1. Wireless earphones

As a college student, I consider wireless earphones as an essential, and you will need them to survive your 4 years there. You will need your earphones to drown out the outside world and to stay with your own thoughts and concentrate. So, we advise most, if not all, college students to invest in genuine and good-quality wireless earphones.

Wireless earphones will be your on-the-go companion and will be with you every step of the way in your college. It will help you write your assignment, and you can have fun, and you can tune in to your favorite podcasts and music. You will use your earphones for virtually everything, from walking to campus or even drowning out your roommate being annoying.

2. Portable phone charger

If you are like me, you are most likely a busy college student, and you have college on two of one or two side hustles or jobs. This is why it is important for you to have a portable phone charger for you to charge your phone on the go, especially when it is on the verge of dying.

Having your phone dying on you is the worst thing that can happen, and if you are having a bad day, this can be my 13th reason why. We use our phones to do everything in college, and sometimes we forget to charge them. This is why sometimes some of us walk with a 10% battery, and this is where a portable phone charger can come in handy.

Portable phone chargers eliminate this problem of having your phone dying on you, and they will give you that extra battery life that we college students desperately need. My portable charger was one of my best friends in college, and they are always in your pocket or backpack.

3. Tempered glass or screen protector

As a recent college graduate, I know the struggle of carrying a lot of things at the same time and having your phone fall. This gives me a mini heart attack every time, and whenever I pick it up, I pray to whatever God is out there for the screen not to be broken.

A tempered glass screen protector is an extra layer of security, and this is why it is one of the items on our list that we strongly recommend to anyone, no matter your age. Tempered glass is extremely strong, and they are usually scratch-resistant and smudge-proof.

If your phone fall, then the screen protector acts as a shield and can break your screen from cracking. If your screen protector looks terrible and is too severely damaged, then you can easier change it. A screen protector is cheaper to change compared to a screen for your actual phone screen.

4. PopSocket

We all know the struggle of having our phones fall on our faces as we watch Tiktok or a YouTube video, which hurts like a truck. This is where a PopSocket can come in handy. A PopSocket can be really aesthetically pleasing if they go with the vibes that you are going for, and it allows you to have a better grip on your phone.

They are an awesome accessory to have, and you can use them in a plethora of ways. You can use it as a texting grip, photo grip, media stand, cord wrap, and so much more. They are a great accessory to have, and they are great for self-expression, and they come in a variety of shapes, forms, and designs.
