The Nokia 5230 is the latest entry level smartphone to run the Symbian S60 5th Edition OS. It makes a great device for anyone looking to make the move from just a standard feature phone to a smartphone, as the 3.2-inch screen is easy to get used to and the form factor is great to slip in and out of a pocket. Here we look at what we think are the top five accessories every Nokia 5230 owner should be thinking of owning.

The Nokia 5230 is a great entry-level smartphone that comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen with 360 x 640-pixel resolution, 2-Megapixel camera and Nokia’s latest Homescren design. It comes pre-loaded with all the latest apps but if you’re looking to make even more of this handset, then getting hold of the latest accessories is a must.

Krusell Croco Hector Leather Case – Large – Red
Price: £ (inc. VAT)
Where: Mobile Fun
Looking for something completely different, then check out this carry case. The Universal Croco Hector leather case has been design in co-operation with the manufacturers of the French fashion houses Kenzo and Yves Saint Laurent and is handmade in exclusive Nappa leather. It doesn’t get more stylish than this.

Nokia 5230 Silicon Skin Gel Case
Price: £2.40 (inc. VAT)
Where: Qubits
Something a little different from a carry case, we like the idea of Gel Skins as they protect the device from drops and bounces but don’t add to the bulk of the Nokia 5230. They also allow you to tap away at the screen without a flip-top cover getting in the way.

Nokia 5230 Premium Executive Flip Case
Price: £3.40 (inc. VAT)
Where: Amazon
This case is made from leather and has a flip lip that gives you instant access to your Nokia 5230 touchscreen. Sure, it’s not the toughest of covers but if keeping your screen clean is the aim, then we reckon this will work well.

Kingston Micro SDHC
Price: £49.99 (inc. VAT)
Where: MyMemory
The Nokia 5230 is a neat little music device but what it lacks is serious dedicated memory to store your tunes. Luckily, the price of microSD cards are falling all the time and this whopping 16GB card is a great example. With this card you’ll be able to load up to 4000 tunes with no hassle.

Reversible Drawstring Bag
Price: £4.95 (inc. VAT)
Where: Proporta
Looking for a carry case that isn’t a carry case? This neat little bag from Proporta is a neat idea, especially on holiday, as it means you can stash all your gadgets, cash and sunglasses all together in one place so you know they’re always covered and always safe from the sight of prying eyes.
