The LG G5 is coming soon — even LG themselves have confirmed it— and according to case photos that we’ve sourced, it looks like a substantial departure from the G4. We’ve already got these LG G5 cases from Olixar up for pre-order, with two lines available: the protective ArmourDillo and the svelte FlexiShield. Let’s take a closer look at these cases, and what we can learn from these photos about the G5.
A new design
The case photos show that LG have dispensed with their rear-mounted button arrangements, with the volume buttons moved to the side and only the power button remaining in place below the camera. The power button has also become a fingerprint sensor, allowing rapid login and authentication of contactless payments. The photos also show the recognisable trio of camera elements, with two lenses flanking an LED flash.
ArmourDillo
ArmourDillo is Olixar’s line of durable cases, with their armoured design providing substantial protection against scratches and drops. The hybrid construction, melding an inner TPU case and an outer impact-resistant exoskeleton, results in an impressive barrier against fall damage. The outer part of the case also includes a built-in media stand, which will be perfect for watching videos on the G5’s 5.6-inch 2560 x 1440 LCD display.
The cases are available in four colours: blue, red, purple and black. For more information or to place a pre-order, please click the button below:

FlexiShield
FlexiShield cases are lighter, cheaper and more flexible than their ArmourDillo counterparts. They cover enough of the G5 to prevent scratches and damage from light impacts, yet the cases are available at a low price and are easy to install and remove.
The FlexiShield cases are also available in multiple colour options; initially just frost white and smoke black. For more information or to place a pre-order, please visit the product page button below:
