EXAM TIP Removable batteries can usually be directly charged with a

battery charger (that is, after all, the best way to take advantage of having a

spare battery). Insert the battery, plug in the charger, and charge away.

Some devices also have specialized accessories, including docking

stations (typically for tablets; much like the docks discussed for portables in

Chapter 23, “Portable Computing”) produced by the device manufacturer,

and even credit card readers, allowing small businesses to take credit card

payments from their mobile device. It’s not unusual to see a food truck use a

portable credit card reader plugged into the headphone port on an iPad, for

example.

Another important accessory is a case for the device. These include an

almost unimaginable variety of designer cases, as well as hardened cases

designed to withstand falls and other impacts. There also screen protectors

—protective covers—that range from flimsy plastic all the way to hardened

glass that can protect a mobile device screen from scratches and impact. You

can find cases made of plastic, leather, rubber, wood, metal, and unicorn

horn. Some of these cases are even waterproof, allowing the more

adventurous folks to take their phones with them while they are diving in

oceans or river-rafting.

We’ve covered only a few of the hundreds of accessories that are available

for mobile devices. Many accessories also come with apps to help control or

get the most out of the accessory.
