The Samsung A3 and A5 smartphones have been refreshed for 2016, and the first images of their official accessories have begun to arrive. We’ve added all of them to our site, so let’s look at what’s available on pre-order right now!
Galaxy A3 official cases
Let’s look at the Galaxy A3 first. This mid-range phone is available with three different official cases in multiple colours.
First up we have the Slim Cover case, which retails for £15. The case is made from thin injection-moulded plastic, adding a transparent gloss to your phone to ensure that it’s protecting but still visible. The case is perfect fitted to the phone, as you would expect from an official case, with cutouts wherever necessary.
The Clear Cover Case is the second option, which as you might imagine is a transparent cover made from polycarbonate with a metallic bumper. It covers the back and corners of the phone, leaving the sides and top/bottom fully accessible. It’s a cool middle ground between a bumper and a full enclosure, and it looks pretty good in blue / black, silver and gold. It retails for £20.
Finally, we have the £25 Flip Wallet Cover. This case adds a flip cover to the Clear Cover, protecting your screen against drops and scratches. The case even includes space for a single credit or ID card, letting you keep that important piece of plastic close at hand. The case is made from high quality synthetic leather, and offers a classic look in gold, sapphire or white.

Galaxy A5 official cases
Next up we have the slightly larger and more expensive Galaxy A5, which has the same three case types that we saw for the A3 — £15 Slim Cover, £20 Clear Cover, £25 Flip Wallet — plus one more exciting option…
The newcomer is Samsung’s Clear View Cover, which goes for £40: a high end option, then. The case is essentially the clear cover case with an added flip cover, which provides excellent screen protection and even has a secret power. The case doubles as a mirror, so you can check your appearance or send secret signals while you’re on the go. When a notification comes in, the case switches back and allows you to see the phone through the cover — sorcery!
