Camera Lens cases for Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge hands-on
50
The obligatory Galaxy S series entourage has swelled enough to include just about all kinds of official accessories for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, but for the most part, it's just old faces made for the new gadgets. Two cases, however, stand out, for they are no ordinary cases at all—the so-called Lens Cover.
In terms of the materials used, we're treated to a plastic cover featuring Samsung's now signature faux leather finish on top, and a snugly textile inside to avoid scratching the back. There are cutouts for all the important jacks and buttons, and from our testing access was easy and pleasant. In all, the usefulness of these cases is still under question, as we haven't had the opportunity yet to really dive in and analyze the quality of stills, but their utility—especially the wide-angled one—is undeniable. Still, given the size of the protrusion at the back, we feel most people will have a hard time keeping these intact, and especially when traveling accidental damage would be a real possibility.
In terms of pricing, release date, and regional availability, we unfortunately have nothing to report, though we've reached out to Samsung and will make sure to update this piece if some information is sent our way. Until then, enjoy the photos and the hands-on video.
