While the video above may make it seem like this rugged phone doesn’t really need a case, it is still a good idea to buy a case for any smartphone you own. True, the LG G Flex has a self-healing coating, so that can limit the visibility of surface scratches. And it’s also true that the flexible nature of this phone makes it a bit more rugged than a “normal” phone. But a case is still something an LG G Flex owner should get. In addition to providing that much more protection in the event of a truly catastrophic drop, a case is also a great way to express your personality. And when the time comes to trade in your phone for a newer device, you are likely to get a higher trade-in value for an LG G Flex that’s in pristine condition than one that has never been inside a case.
Thankfully, there are some great cases out there — if you know where to look. Here are five solid options for G Flex phone cases, hand-selected for their blend of low price, solid reputation, and great looks. A small investment now in one of these cool cases will ensure you that you get the full trade-in value for your phone when it is time to upgrade.
