The phones look so brilliant, that you&#8217;ll be tempted to go without a case&#8230; but you might end up regretting that decision pretty fast, as a\u00a0<em>CNET<\/em>\u00a0writer recently found out the hard way.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on March 17th, Jessica Dolcourt reported that she dropped her Galaxy S7\u00a0onto a tile floor. Despite surviving a fall onto a wooden floor in a pub earlier, this time the phone&#8217;s rear glass was totally destroyed by the drop, giving\u00a0the back a neat &#8212; albeit dangerous &#8212; spiderweb look.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I should have had a case lined up, but I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to it and that&#8217;s my fault&#8230;\u00a0The good news: Even fractured, the S7 is still 100 percent usable. But I&#8217;m getting a case ASAP to cover my shame.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The moral of the story is this: get a case. It doesn&#8217;t have to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/03\/the-7-best-samsung-galaxy-s7-shockproof-cases\/\">most shock-proof Galaxy S7 case<\/a> in the world, but it does need to be there if you want your phone to stay in one piece. If you don&#8217;t want to obscure the great looks of your phone, you could get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s7\/cases\/clear\">clear case<\/a>, for example. No matter how careful you are, it only takes one lapse in judgement and coordination to end up with a Galaxy S7 that looks like the one above.<\/p>\n<p>Have you got a case for your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge?
