The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Go to the cell phone providers

The "big five" cell phone companies sell cell phone faceplates and other accessories direct from the manufacturer. Go to your company's website to see what cell phone covers they stock for buyers.

I recommend: Try T-Mobile's Cell Phone Accessories page: you'll have to select your particular phone to view a list of cell phone covers. Verizon's website shows thumbnails and prices for cell phone faceplates and other accessories for all of their phones.

Try cell phone accessory storehouse sites

Big retail sites sell cell phone covers and faceplates for all phone models in large "storehouse" portals. You can find deals by browsing for your phone.

I recommend: The 800Mobile site has a lot of different face plate models on sale. The site for Cell-Phone-Accessories-Wholesale provides thumbnails and prices for its wide selection of accessories.

Buy your cell phone faceplates in bulk

Vendors will give you a bottom-line price for a set of cell phone covers or other accessories. Look for specific deals offering cut-rate prices for sales by volume.

I recommend: The online vendor MyCoolCell.com reaches out to business, government and other clients with bulk cell phone cover deals, sometimes giving up to 50% off. The site's online ordering system helps you buy quickly and directly. Ebay sellers are also a good source of bulk bargains for cell phone accessories; lots are listed in standard eBay format or in eBay stores.

Get custom cell phone covers

Graphic design shops make custom cell phone faceplates as well as "skins" or cases, promoting business clients by adding the company logo or inventing an attention-grabbing design.

I recommend: Try brand customizing with Cicerone or work with designers at Skinit to come up with a stylish promotional design for your company phones.
