Over the past couple days, we’ve received our first shipments of Note 7 cases, both official cases from Samsung and third-party options. We’ve added them to our virtual shelves, but our video team has also done some hands-on videos that give you a much better idea of what to expert — how the cases feel in the hand, what they look like from all angles, and how they compare to one another.
You can find all the videos by checking out our YouTube channel, or scrolling on for a selection of our favourites!

Top 5 Note 7 cases & covers
This video looks like the best cases available at launch, including:
- Samsung S View Case, now includes a built-in stand and always-on compatibility
- Olixar FlexiShield Gel Case, a slim and simple budget case
- Samsung BackPack Wireless Charging Battery Case, an IP68 rated 3100mAh battery case
- Verus Dandy Case, a stylish leather wallet with 4 pockets
- Samsung Clear View, a slimline, transparent flip cover
This video is highly recommended, as you get a brief introduction to each case and see it working on a real Note 7.
Samsung BackPack Wireless Charging Case
The BackPack is perhaps the most intriguing addition to Samsung’s official case lineup. It adds 3100mAh of battery power, almost doubling your battery life, yet it’s relatively slim for a case of this kind. It’s also unusually resistant, with an IP68 rating that means it can be used underwater for short periods of time, just like the phone. It also can be recharged wirelessly, just like the phone itself, which is a first for a battery case.

Samsung S View Standing Case
The S View case is back again for the Note 7, and this time it’s better than ever before. As usual, a plastic window in the front of the flip cover allows you to see the time, incoming calls, operate the camera and more. New to this year’s model is the ability to use the always-on display with the cover, ensuring you can always see the time without waking your phone. Samsung have also added a stand to the case, which is brilliant for watching movies or playing games on the go.

Samsung Clear View Case
If you like the idea of being able to see the time and notifications, but you want a cheaper alternative than the S View case, then the Clear View is a great choice. It has a sleeker design, with a semi-transparent front cover that lets the phone’s backlight shine through to inform you of the time, incoming calls and other alerts. The case provides full screen protection, with a new lip around the screen that prevents scratches from accruing. This case offers a good amount of protection, too.
