The new Samsung S6 Edge is a cool device that will likely be in high demand when it hits stores in April. Due to high demand, it may be hard to find cases for this new phone. In many cases, stores sell out of cases for new phones on launch day. Even weeks after a new phone comes out, stores can have a hard time keeping a decent selection of cases in stock. Need a case for your new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge? Here are five stellar options that will protect your device.

1. Spigen HEAVY DUTY Galaxy S6 Edge Case
(Spigen)
Looking for an attractive case? We really like this Spigen model. It’s lightweight, slim, and even has a built-in kickstand in the rear. That makes this case great for people who use their phone for watching films, or for video conferencing. It’s also reasonably priced, which is good news for people who just bought their phone outright and are feeling a bit of a pinch in their wallet.

5. LK Galaxy S6 Edge Wallet Case
(LK)
Wallet-style cases are great for busy professionals on the go, as well as anyone who thinks it’s silly to carry a “real” wallet when you could just keep your cards with your phone. This case is available in purple, blue, black, brown, and hot pink. It does not come with a screen protector, however, so you should pick one up. There is a possibility that, over time, the raised numbers on your card could damage the screen on your device when the folio flap is closed. Do note that this case is made from faux leather, not the real deal.
Price: $6
Buy it here.
Pros:
- Handy wallet design
- Holds both cash and cards
- Folio design protects screen
- Turns into a stand
- Does not interfere with camera operation
Cons:
- Only available in solid colors (not patterns)
- Not waterproof
- May not close if you over-stuff it
- Does not come with screen protector (but does come with stylus)
