The first cases for three hotly anticipated smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Edge, and LG G6 — are now available for pre-order at Mobile Fun. Here’s what we know about each phone, and what cases are already on our virtual shelves!
Samsung Galaxy S8 cases
The phone, in brief: The Galaxy S8 (and its larger brother) will sport larger screens than their predecessors, yet be physically the same size thanks to minuscule bezels on all sides. USB-C is expected for charging, although a few leaks have seemingly indicated Micro USB instead. Either way, expect the usual internal upgrades, including a powerful Snapdragon 830 chipset.
Cases & covers available: Ghostek’s Atomic 3.0 case is one of the first published images showing the Galaxy S8, including its incredibly thin bezels and other interesting details — it’s well worth a look.
Verus Design have also announced cases, including the see-through Crystal Bumper, the stylish Dandy Wallet and Simpli Mod Genuine Leather Case. There’s also the High Pro Shield case, which offers better protection through a two-tone, dual-layer design. More cases should be coming soon; check the link below.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge cases
The phone, in brief: We’re not sure whether to expect a Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge or a Galaxy S8 Plus, with leaks and rumours pointing in both directions. Either way, expect to see two phones of different sizes, with similar internals and perhaps a few substantive changes between the two models — one report suggested we’d see a dual rear camera on a theoretical Galaxy S8 Plus, for example.
Cases & covers available: We’re happy to announce FlexiShield cases for the Galaxy S8 Edge / Galaxy S8 Plus. These budget cases are made of a flexible gel material, allowing for easy installation and good protection from knocks and scratches. There are three colours available: blue, solid black and 100% clear.
Verus Design have also provided the same cases as for the vanilla Galaxy S8, including the Crystal Bumper, Dandy, High Pro Shield and Simpli Mod. Check below for the latest cases to be announced.

LG G6 cases
The phone, in brief: LG have announced that the phone will use copper heat pipes to spread heat around the phone, preventing any one area from overheating. An extremely wide display with a 2:1 ratio (18:9 compared to the usual 16:9) has also been rumoured. Inside, expect to see a Snapdragon 830 processor, wireless charging and Android 7.0 Nougat. Other features could include waterproofing, minimal bezels and an improved camera. Expect for it to be launched on February 26th, 2017.
Cases & covers available: At the time of writing, only case maker Verus has announced a few different models, each in several colours. The Crystal Bumper will be transparent, with options for gold or silver trim, while the Dandy Leather Wallet has space for your cash and cards, and comes in three classic hues: black, dark brown and wine red. If you’re looking for more protection, the High Pro Shield Series or the Simpli Mod Genuine Leather provide just that, in a range of colours and styles.
We expect more cases will be announced on or just before the phone’s late February launch date, so check the link below for the latest additions!
