10 of the best Samsung Galaxy S7 cases
Don't send your Galaxy S7 into battle without armour
Would you walk out of your front door into the big scary world, completely naked?
Probably not.
If you’re anything like us, you wouldn’t want your expensive smartphone venturing out without some protection either, so we’ve rounded up some of the snazziest Samsung Galaxy S7 cases to make sure it’ll survive long enough for you to be distracted by an even newer, shinier gadget.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Clear View Cover (£35)
Samsung’s Clear View cover protects both the front and back of the Galaxy S7 and is similar to the company’s other flip cases. The main difference is the fact that the front is, as the name suggests, clear, letting you see notifications and accept/reject calls without having to open it up.

Otterbox Galaxy S7 Defender Series (£40)
Otterbox cases mean serious business, and the Defender is no exception. It’ll encase your Galaxy S7 in four tough layers including rubber and foam, and includes port covers for improved dust and water resistance. There’s even a clear film which covers the screen, protecting your beloved handset from every angle.
Official S View Cover Case (£32)
It might not be bulletproof or made from laser-cut bamboo, but this official Samsung case does a decent job of all-round protection, with the additional benefit of an ‘S-View’ window. When closed, the phone switches into S-View mode, letting you answer calls, reply to messages and take snaps without having to open up the case.
CASE-MATE LEATHER FOLIO WRISTLET CASE (£50)
And now for something completely different. This Galaxy S7 case resembles a miniature clutch bag, complete with faux zip and two card holders. It’s genuine leather too, which is good news if you’re after the genuine article.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Keyboard Cover (£50)
BlackBerry fans take note – you can have the best of both worlds with Samsung’s official physical keyboard cover case. It’s pretty self explanatory (and rather ugly), but if you positively must have physical buttons on your Galaxy S7, here’s your solution. The keyboard clips onto the back if you want to free up the Galaxy S7’s 5.1in screen too.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Backpack Battery case (£66)
Yes, this is incredibly pricey for a smartphone case, but Samsung’s official chunky offering packs in a 2700mAh battery, which is enough to almost double the life of the Galaxy S7, making it ideal for long trips or power users. Battery status LEDs let you see how much extra juice you’ve got left too. Sure it’ll ruin the sleekness of your shiny new handset, but that’s a price you’re probably willing to pay if you value battery life above all else.

Case-Mate Tough Stand Case (£25)
If you’re planning to watch a lot of videos on your Galaxy S7 then you’ll want a case with a built-in kickstand. This Case-Mate offering has one embedded in its rear, with smart metallic chrome button accents for a touch of added flair.
Samsung Galaxy S7 LED Flip Wallet (£50)
HTC Dot Case? What HTC Dot Case? We don’t know what you’re talking about. In all seriousness, yes, this is probably inspired by HTC’s counterpart, but you’ve got a Galaxy S7 now, so that matters little. What does matter is this case’s ability to show the time and notifications in funky dot patterns without you having to open the cover each time. Neat.
Spigen Galaxy S7 Tough Armour Case (£18)
If you want to mollycoddle your Galaxy S7 then Spigen’s heavy duty rubber/metal hybrid case should ensure it goes through life without a scratch. Its front lip is raised by 2mm so the screen should also fare well in most accidental drop situations, though you’ll still be out of luck of you drop it flat onto a pointy rock. Again – you’re paying for extra functionality with added bulk, but if protection is a concern, it’ll be worth it.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Flip Wallet Cover (£25)
Samsung really went all-out on its flip cover cases. This one’s a little cheaper than its peers, as it doesn’t let you see the screen or interact with the handset when its closed. It does however have a few card slots built into it, so if you want to ditch your wallet for an all-in-one solution, here it is.
