And with the pre-orders now live, we’re pretty sure that many of you already have your Galaxy S7 on the way. But a smartphone this impressive (and costly) requires solid protection, against all kinds of dings, scratches, and falls. Right? Of course, and that’s why we’ve curated this listing of the 10 best Samsung Galaxy S7 cases and covers. So what are you waiting for? Read on, and get your brand new Galaxy the protection it needs.

Gorgeous looking and meticulously designed, the VRS Design Galaxy S7 case is the perfect companion for Samsung Galaxy S7. The case is made up of two impact resistant layers, with the inner layer being made up of a soft, high-grade, TPU material, and the outer layer being fabricated from hard poly carbonate. There are precise cutouts for easy access to all the buttons and ports on the device, and the case fits the Galaxy S7 perfectly. Then there are raised edges that protect the phone’s screen from scratches. The case has a brushed metal look, and is available in multiple colors, such as Shine Gold, and Satin Silver.

2. Samsung Galaxy S7 VRS Design Case with Card Slot
If you’re looking for a case that offers reliable all around protection to your Samsung Galaxy S7, look no further than the VRS Design Case with Card Slot. It has two layers made from soft Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and poly carbonate. The case is lightweight, and has precise cutouts that let you access all ports and buttons on the device with zero problems. But the standout feature of this case is undoubtedly the card holder built into the back, which lets you carry up to two IDs, credit/debit cards, or anything else like that.

Of course, you can talk on the phone with the flip cover closed, thanks to the earpiece cutout.

5. SamsungGalaxy S7 S-View Flip Cover
Third party cases and covers are no doubt great, but they hardly match up to original accessories. And that’s why the Samsung S-View Flip Cover is an absolute must have for the Galaxy S7. What makes it unique is that you can check the notifications, and answer/reject incoming calls, even when the flip cover is closed. All you have to do to act on relevant notifications, is swipe on the front folio. The cradle design takes the effort out of putting on/taking off the case, and the hard plastic corners further add to the protection. Price: $59.99 Where to buy: Samsung.com

The pack includes a mammoth, 3400 mAh battery that starts charging the Galaxy S7 (via Qi Inductive Charging technology), the moment you snap it to the smartphone.
