One of the things we first notice about a smartphone is whether it’s going to really need a case, or whether it can probably do without it. Samsung’s Galaxy S7 range probably fall into the former category; they feel and look amazing by themselves, but many users will prefer to pop their new Samsung smartphone into a case of some description, whether it’s a heavy duty case or something slim and light just to offer some added grip and scratch protection.
Cellnet, distributor of a wide range of mobile accessories, has announced that it is stocking new cases for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge courtesy of manufacturers Incipio and 3SIXT, which will be in retailers ready to go from 11 March.
