Samsung might have skipped a number with the launch of the Galaxy Note 7 but it surely hasn’t missed the mark when it comes to features and specs. Firstly, the Note 7 looks stunning with that beautiful curved display on the front and the curved metal back. Also, it comes with some top of the line specs like the dual-edge 5.7-inch (2560 x 1440p) Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 processor (depending on the region), 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB storage with expansion support, 12 MP rear and 5 MP front facing camera and a respectable 3500 mAh battery. Moreover, the Note 7 includes a cool iris scanner along with the usual fingerprint scanner. That’s not all, as the Android 6.0 Marshmallow running device is also IP68 certified, which means the device is dust and water resistant.
So, while Samsung has provided some decent protection for the flagship Note device, we’ll still recommend you to buy a case because the device will be priced somewhere around $800 and that is a lot of money. You would not want your pricey Note 7 to get a scratch on its very first day of buying, right? Keeping that in mind, here are 10 best Samsung Galaxy Note 7 cases and covers you should be buying:
1. Samsung S View Flip Cover
The official S View Flip Cover from Samsung, like the past S View flip covers, offers protection while letting you use the device even with the cover on. The flip cover features a unique window on the front, which lets you use the Note 7 with an interface designed for it. You can accept or reject calls, check notifications, see status items, weather and more from the window in the case. Moreover, you can dial numbers or even take pictures directly from the case. The new S View Flip Cover for the Note 7 even packs in a standing function, which lets you prop the case at a 45 degree angle.

3. Samsung Keyboard Cover
The official keyboard cover for the Samsung Galaxy Note is certainly the most interesting out of the lot. The case not only provides protection for the Note 7 but also brings a physical keyboard for the device.

The cover brings a full-size QWERTY keyboard that also features an exclusive key layout with shortcuts and hot keys.
Along with the aforementioned ones, Samsung also offers a cool battery case and a camera lens case for the Note 7 that you can check out.

Other than that, the case looks pretty good too with a glossy surface and carbon fiber texture.
