From being the alarm clock at dawn to serving as a jukebox during sleepless nights, the mobile phone has stepped into many roles and has become an intrinsic part of one's life.

Because of this, youngsters today prep up not only their wardrobe but also their
mobile phones as they use it as an accessory to add to their style statement.

In the online world as well as in the retail shops, one can find quirky and stylish back covers that change the identity of the phone. Namrata Shenoy, a business executive, loves to change the back cover of her phone as often as possible. "I have so many of them. There are so many varieties available nowadays — from bohemian prints to characters in loud vibrant colours. There are interesting ones with messages and quirky storylines too," says Namrata.

Namrata has a back cover for her phone for most occasions and believes that each of them make a statement, just like any fashion add-on. "While covers with cartoon characters add a fun element to one's day, a more solid colour makes things look more professional. There are also a lot of mixed printed covers available now, as well as ones with aztec prints and
varied colours," she says.

It doesn't stop at just back covers. From cartoon character earbuds to chunky headsets, youngsters add earphones to make their phones look more stylish. Tejas S, a teenager, says that he has different earphones for his different moods and needs. "I have one headset for places like the gym and another for separate occasions. It's just like wearing something trendy; the colours and style of the earphones add to one's mood," he says.

Tejas feels the need to complement the phone with trendy gear as it gives a complete look and reflects his attitude. "Everyone wants to look their best and adding accessories to one's phone is the best way to make oneself stand out," he adds.

Adding other gadgets of convenience makes functioning with the device easier while also looking stylish. Mizba Aga, an entrepreneur, owns a chic bluetooth headset which adds to a casual attire or a formal getup, while being multi-functional. Mizba says, "The gear makes it easier to handle the phone by voice commands and I don't have to have my phone around. Also, the design of the gear and the varied colours it is available in helps add to the look of one's phone. It's like one has just walked out of a hi-tech or action-packed movie."

Mizba finds making calls and getting work done easier with the gadget and has also noticed that the gear has made many heads turn. "From crazy wallpapers to the headset, I make sure that my phone has a lively look everyday. This lifts one's mood and makes one look forward to the day ahead too," adds Mizba.

Some like Faisal Pasha, a student, have pushed the functionality of the mobile phone to the next level by making it an elaborate movie experience. Faisal owns a projecting gadget that turns his phone into something similar to a 3D movie theatre.

"One has to download compatible videos to enjoy this gadget. But I have friends coming over and my sister uses the gadget too, as it is a different experience. It is a fun gadget and transforms the mobile phone from being just a mobile phone," says Faisal.

He adds that wrist gear compatible with mobile phones is another popular gadget among the young. "There are wrist gears that allow one to check messages, make calls and do much more. This caters to one's style quotient and also allows one to be trendy and available on the go," Faisal sums up.
