No, the best selling cellphone accessories have nothing to do with colorful furious birds, you see. The top accessories are those responsible for making your mobile phone experience convenient, enjoyable and yes, eclectic. Opps. That doesn't include those blasphemous Sony Walkman portable speakers you bought from that funny eBay deal.
Of course, accessories are a matter of taste - if you like it, buy it. But I tell you, I'm a smart phone user, no pun - I'd rather go for experience (read 'helpful') rather than looks or what mobile phone reviews tell me. Therefore, that makes me a no-nonsense, fussy cellphone accessory deal scavenger, basically :)
Ask me about cell phone accessories I use: For instance, I like the awesome cool Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset - not so much for its super sleek design (which of course beats any of those monstrous ladles you call "headsets" in the market these days) but for, say, the quality of the sound.
Or check out the Nokia J Bluetooth headset (oh, yes, Nokia again). Why would you go for them? The answer is obvious, for example: High noise reduction features, HD sound (\m/), everything-is-easy-and-preset-to-use etc unlike Sony Ericsson's lean, ear-skinning, shrilly headsets that shout protest songs against your sense of good bargain.
But that's besides the point. So what are smart cell phone accessory-phone users like me around the world up to? The "top selling" accessories are so, for three basic reasons - usefulness (why not?), performance (of course!) and price (Definitely!).
I scoured some leading online stores and manufacturers' sites that offer cell phone accessories and dug up quite an interesting lot of phone goodies. I admit that although I chose all the phone accessories shown here for their being in 'top-sellers' lists, they also had the highest number of positive users' reviews and high ratings on usability, users' experience, ease of use and functionality. That decided the game. So here is a peek at the top cash register taskmasters.

The gorgeous, gorgeous Nokia J Bluetooth Headset demolishes the bluetooth accessory judges panel for 2012 with its exclusively user-retentive, super convenient design - I mean the only thing you have to do, basically, is just pop it into you ear. Done. I mean this makes your mobile phone experience really look good for the reviews. The unique design aids in effortless call handling; automatic volume adjustment when in crowed environment (it's almost ESP!), no buttons or blinking lights to push or press, are some of the basic reasons why the Nokia bluetooth headset is one of the top-selling cell phone accessories this year.

| The TPU Rubber Apple iPhone back cover |
The first time I saw this iPhone back cover I couldn't stop OMGting - mega sleek, superbly streamlined and super-duper high quality phone accessory designed specifically with the Apple iPhone (3G 3GS 8GB 16GB 32GB) in mind. iPhone purists may scoff at the black layout, the curvatures and the space age design but the truth is, this cover gives a more tech look to the traditionally bland white image of the iPhone. But the design and looks is besides the point.
The back cover for the iPhone is made of high-quality TPU rubber gel and the surface texture virtually push dusts off the surface and protects your phone from scratches. No wonder this item is one of the hottest selling mobile phone accessories on the web.

Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset is a thing of elegance, beauty and oh brains. The HD stereo is probably the best sound system you can ever get from a phone headset. The unique wide band design, yet uniquely space-age lines makes fro a wonderful head-turner. But the main reason for its popularity is the HD sound. While there are no external sound optimization features (except from your phone of course), the sound is, well, how do I describe it - explicitly impressive. The super-soft ear pads cushions the push of the similarly-cushioned band so you can listen to music as much as you want without blistering your ears.
Fuse Antibacterial Touchscreen Guard

| The Fuse Antibacterial Screen Guard |
In 2008, British microbiologist James Francis took a swab of keyboards, a toilet seat and a toilet door handle and found that the keyboards had levels of germs 5 times higher than that found on the toilet seat. In other words, your computer keyboard is dirtier than your toilet. Now check this out: The average touchscreen mobile phone has at least 18 times as many germs.
That is why there are mobile phone 'accessories' like the Fuse Antibacterial Screen Guard. The manufacturers, Fuse, says the screen guard will deter "99 percent" of germs. Fuse has the antibacterial screen guards for the iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 3G and a range for "universal devices."

I want my mommy, my girl, my dog and my smartphone picture on my iPhone!!
