===Accessories===
A wide range of accessories are sold for smartphones, including [[Mobile phone accessories#Cases|cases]], [[#Memory_cards|memory card]]s, [[screen protector]]s, [[Battery charger#Mobile phone charger|chargers]], [[wireless charging|wireless power]] stations, [[USB On-The-Go]] adapters (for connecting USB drives and or, in some cases, a HDMI cable to an external monitor), [[Mobile High-Definition Link|MHL]] adapters, add-on batteries, [[power bank]]s, [[headphones]], combined headphone-microphones (which, for example, allow a person to privately conduct [[Telephone call|call]]s on the device without holding it to the ear), and [[Bluetooth]]-enabled [[powered speaker]]s that enable users to listen to media from their smartphones wirelessly.

Cases range from relatively inexpensive rubber or soft plastic cases which provide moderate protection from bumps and good protection from scratches to more expensive, heavy-duty cases that combine a rubber padding with a hard outer shell. Some cases have a "book"-like form, with a cover that the user opens to use the device; when the cover is closed, it protects the screen. Some "book"-like cases have additional pockets for credit cards, thus enabling people to use them as [[wallet]]s.

Accessories include products sold by the manufacturer of the smartphone and compatible products made by other manufacturers.

However, some companies, like [[Apple Inc.|Apple]], stopped including chargers with smartphones in order to "reduce [[carbon footprint]]", etc., causing many customers to pay extra for charging adapters.
