Warning: Extremely Cute Content NSFW (Unless Squeeing is Okay where you work)

I finally got a smartphone a few months ago- yeah I didn't have one. In fact, I had let my old cell phone plan expire a year ago because the service had sucked so badly. I love technology; I have a few computers, a tablet (albeit a very crappy one), e-readers, and all of the gadgetry that I can afford on my meager budget. However, I seem to have a psychological block when it comes to the cell phone. I know it is a necessity these days, but I still resist, possibly because I abhor talking on the phone or because I hate the idea that people who don't need to know my business can still keep tabs on me- creepy! I digress...

I got the Nokia Lumia 635 with Windows 8.1 and the no-contract thing where I give AT&T $30 each month for unlimited text and talk. That is perfect for me for so many reasons, which will bore you so I won't list them. So far, I love this little gem. It is even faster than my tablet, which is now collecting dust in my drawer. The battery lasts forever, and it is easy to find accessories for it, just not at Walmart where I bought it, unfortunately. Amazon to the rescue!  ( As of today, I am an Amazon Associate, so no more free advertising from me!)

I didn't write this post to review the phone itself because I figure I am so late to this game that anything I have to add is just rehash. Nope, this is all about the cute and nifty accouterments that may or may not be necessary to reap the full advantages of the device.

Kitteh Dust Plugs! Cheese Tabby Cat Four Piece Set 

If you like the dangle doodad phone charms, but do not have a little hole for the lanyard attachment (you know, to loop it through) these tiny tabbies will pop into the headphone jack on your device. Not only do they add personality to your phone, but they also keep dust out of the jack! After I put a case on my Nokia, I had trouble telling which end was "up" because the buttons are no longer obvious, but the charm has eliminated that confusion.





An unexpected bonus- the kitties are anatomically accurate! You can tell the boys from the girls if you know what I mean (wink), but the effect is done tastefully. The designers knew their stuff, and made sure that the calico was a girl and the orange tabby was a boy. FYI: Orange coloring is an X-linked trait, so most orange or yellow cats are male, and females are usually calico instead of solid orange. note: This is a simplified version of complicated cat genetics, so don't use my post as a reference in your term papers, kids


 NageBee Lumia 635/630 Phone case (Hybrid Sakura model)

The listing for this product (pic from Amazon.com on the left) has several design options, but I happen to love cherry blossoms, so this was the one for me. The case is sturdy and fits the Nokia 635 perfectly. It is easy to install and remove, and it will not come apart unexpectedly. It is also inexpensive even without the Prime benefit. I recommend installing a clear screen protector along with the case (I use the Supershieldz HD Clear made to fit my phone).

I pair the black kitty (who happens to be a Tom, thankyouverymuch Cheese Tabby Cat) with my bright Sakura decorated case, so this is one stylin' phone, let me tell you!
