Have you got a Samsung Galaxy S6 in your pocket? Congratulations. You have one of the best smartphones in the world.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t pimp it out even further. Here’s a selection of some of the best accessories to make the most out of your pocketable best friend.

This unassuming little thing is actually a dual USB/microUSB flash drive which lets you effortlessly share files between your PC and S6.

If you’re constantly putting yourself in situations where you’re at the mercy of gravity for rush of adrenaline then you’ll want something more robust. While Otterbox’s case won’t do much to protect your body, it should be more than enough to let your S6 take one hell of a beating. You’re paying for that protection by spoiling its slim build with a bulky case, but if you want tough, this case delivers in spades.

If you want to go completely caseless, then we don’t blame you. The S6 is a thing of beauty after all. Despite its Gorilla Glass 4 scree howevern, it’s still not invincible, which is where this tempered glass screen protector comes in. It’s real glass, so it feels natural, and it’s covered in an oleophobic coating which makes it feel slick and smooth, while resisting fingerprints. If the worst comes to worst and you drop your S6 face-down, then it could still crack, but the S6’s screen should remain unharmed.
