Samsung announced their latest edition of the popular Galaxy S7 Edge today: the Galaxy S7 Edge in Black Pearl. This is the seventh colour option that Samsung have introduced, and will be available only with 128GB models of the phone from December 9th. Samsung remarked that the new glossy black shade ‘captures the essence of the colour in its purest form’ and ‘adds depth to [the] glass design.’ It does look pretty fetching, and it may even be a little more scratch-resistant than the famously sensitive Jet Black iPhone 7.
If you’re planning to pick up the Black Pearl Galaxy S7 Edge or you’ve already got one in your hands, take a look at our recommendations below. We’ve suggested five Galaxy S7 Edge cases that will be a perfect accompaniment to the new colour scheme, showing it off while still providing some much-needed protection.
5. Olixar Ultra-Thin Case
Sometimes, the simplest option is the best. This ultra-thin case covers your glossy Galaxy S7 Edge without adding significant bulk or obscuring the glossy shades below. If you want to protect your phone with minimal investment, this is a strong option. However, there are more protective and stylish options further down, so let’s take a look!
4. Olixar Leather-Style Wallet Stand Case
This leather-style wallet case protects the screen from scratches and cracks, while giving you full visual access to the front of the phone while it’s in use. There’s also a cutout along the side of the phone, allowing the Edge display to be fully visible while the cover is used — clever.
3. Obliq Naked Shield Case
This classic case adds significant protection to the S7 Edge thanks to its dual layer design, while letting you show off your Black Pearl colour scheme through the transparent back and sides. The case includes a built-in kickstand, which is brilliant for watching videos or paying attention to notifications.
2. Luphie Blade Aluminium Bumper
The Blade is an incredible aluminium bumper for the Galaxy S7 Edge, and a perfect compliment to the Black Pearl version of the phone. The case adds surprisingly little weight or bulk either, keeping your phone looking sharp and dangerous. Of all the options on this list, I’d call the Blade the most stylish.
1. Ghostek Cloak Tough Case
The Cloak is another good option, combining a slim look with strong protection and a transparent body. The case is made of multiple layers for strength, including a strong aluminium frame, a clear TPU gel cover and an explosion-proof screen protector. There are a ton of different colour combinations too; the clear and black model is shown above but you can also go for gold, red, silver or pink. That makes the Cloak a top choice in my book, and maybe in yours too!
