When it comes to hype and excitement surrounding new smartphone launches, the reveals of Samsung’s Galaxy Android flagships rule the roost. And at its Unpacked 2016 event during the recently wrapped up Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Samsung introduced not only the Galaxy S7 to the world, but also its dual-edged curved screen toting brother, the Galaxy S7 Edge.
The Galaxy S7 Edge is arguably the best Android smartphone that you can get right now (even better than the regular Galaxy S7). It packs in the latest and greatest in mobile hardware/software, and of course, then there’s the gorgeous dual-edged curved screen, its signature feature. Unsurprisingly, it also commands quite an asking price. So if you’ve already pre-ordered one, it makes all the sense to get a case or cover to protect it.
And that’s what we’re here to help you with. So let’s not beat around the bush anymore, and check out 12 of the best Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge cases and covers available out there. Here they go!
1. Galaxy S7 Edge S-View Flip Cover
Official accessories are generally preferred, as they offer maximum compatibility with the devices, and overall better quality. And the Samsung S-View Flip cover is just that. The lightweight cover is truly unique, as it lets you access key phone features (e.g. answering/rejecting calls, acting on notifications), even when the cover is closed. Not only that, the cover makes it possible to preview expandable messages, access settings etc. by just swiping on the front folio. It’s made up of hard plastic, has an easy snap-on design, and is available in three colors.

2. Galaxy S7 Edge Wireless Charging Battery Pack
Despite not being a case, the Samsung Wireless Charging Battery Pack snaps on to the back of your Galaxy S7 Edge exactly like one. The battery pack includes a 3400 mAh battery, which charges the Galaxy S7 Edge’s battery (via Qi Inductive Charging) when the pack is attached to the phone. Not only that, it also supports “pass-through charging”, so if you charge the battery pack from a power outlet, when the S7 Edge is attached to it, the phone’s battery will be wirelessly charged first, followed by the pack’s battery. There’s even a four level LED battery status indicator, to see the battery charge left.
