Samsung offers several Samsung Galaxy S4 cases that will arrive with
the Galaxy S4 later this month, and while we wait for the device to
arrive on Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint.
The Official Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover comes in multiple colors
and offers front and rear protection for the Galaxy S4 for $35 to $40.
Moblle Fun sent over the official Samsung Galaxy S4 case in black and
in white for us to get an early look at. The retailer offers a collection of Galaxy S4 cases including seven colors of the Galaxy S4 flip cover.
The official Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover cases.
Unlike most smartphone cases, and a majority of third-party Samsung
Galaxy S4 cases, the official Galaxy S4 Flip Cover doesn’t add bulk to
the phone. Rather than fitting over the phone’s existing case, users
remove the back of the Galaxy S4 and snap the Flip Cover on in its
place. The result is a case that becomes part of the phone.
This is the same design as the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Flip Cover cases, and its one even minimalist users can appreciate.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Hands On Video
Here we take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover cases
in white and black. While we don’t have a GalaxY S4 to snap them on to,
we show off the looks and how they compare to the Galaxy S3.
These official Galaxy S4 Flip Cover cases are made of the same strong
plastic material as the back of the Galaxy S4. Both of these cases also
feature the same dotted design as the Galaxy S4 backs we saw during our
Galaxy S4 hands on in New York City last month. Unfortunately these are
just as much of a fingerprint magnet as the standard back
So far it doesn’t look like users will be able to pair these cases
with the upcoming Galaxy S4 wireless charging kit, which also replaces
the back of the device to work. Likewise, it’s not clear if this case
will work with any extended Galaxy S4 batteries.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 case features the same design, look and feel as the Galaxy S4 out of the box.
The official Galaxy S4 flip cover gets its name from the semi-rigid
cover that protects the phone while in a pocket or from a fall and flips
around while in use. Flip cases don’t appeal to all users, but this one
feels better than most flip around cases. It helps that Samsung builds
the cover into the side of the phone when installed, making the fold
more natural.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover is a nice case.
The inside of the flip cover is a soft, felt-like material that
offers a nicer feel then plastic while using the phone. The cover stays
closed fairly well, and when open and placed on a flat surface the hinge
is loose enough that it will not spring over and flip the phone.
Even though Samsung only offers the Galaxy S4 in two colors, users
can change all outward facing colors of the Galaxy S4 with a case. The
image below shows how easily it is to customize an orange Samsung Galaxy
S4.
The snap on Samsung Galaxy S4 flip cover can change the color of the Galaxy S4 for $35.
Thanks to a multitude of colors, users can get a pink Samsung Galaxy
S4 for about $35 extra. The only portion that remains unchanged is the
front bezel. Users looking for a transformation may want to get the
white Galaxy S4 as it blends better with most colors.
Samsung announced a variety of Samsung Galaxy S4 accessories at the launch event, many of which are highlighted in the video below.
Samsung offers an official Galaxy S-View Flip Cover which includes a
small see through section that shows the date, time and notifications
while the case is closed. Samsung also offers an official protective
Galaxy S4 case in multiple colors.
