1. Moshi iGlaze XT Samsung Galaxy S6 Case
(Moshi)
While Moshi is predominantly known for the iOS and Apple accessories, they do occasionally make cool cases and other accessories for the Samsung Galaxy family of products. The iGlaze XT case is a transparent case option that will appeal to people who are looking for a very thin case. Moshi sent over a sample of this case so we could spend some quality time with it.
This case is semi-flexible. You couldn’t bend it in half, but you can definitely get a bit of motion out of it. That makes it easy to remove and install. The case is less than a millimeter thick, with a flash-friendly camera cutout to prevent “ghosting” phenomena. The case is somewhat resistant to fingerprints. In addition, it ships with a back film and a microfiber dot cloth for cleaning.
Price: $34.95

2. Verus Crystal Light Samsung Galaxy S6 Case
(Verus)
Verus provided us with a sample of this case for review purposes. If you’re looking for a clear, flexible case, this is a solid choice. Most smartphone owners have had the unpleasant experience of trying to get a too-tight, overly rigid case off their device. It can feel like you’re about to snap your phone in half. This flexible case is much easier to remove than a rigid case.
The button covers are nice and soft, so you won’t feel like you have to press down overly hard. One minor drawback is how easily this case takes on fingerprints. Fingerprints show up easily, and they don’t remove cleanly when the case is wiped against a shirt sleeve or jeans. However, if you’re looking for a clear, flexible, and inexpensive case, this is a solid choice.

It’s also available in red, grey, or black. This style of case is simple and inexpensive, making it a nice option for people shopping on a budget.

The case is made from a material that is resistant to oil, dirt, and scratches.

The case consists of a shock-absorbing inner core, paired with a rigid outer shell that is impact-resistant. The outer shell has a soft-touch coating, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods of time (such as while playing a mobile game).

(Encased)
This two-tone case is available in lots of different color combinations, including pink with gold, teal with gold, and blue with gray. Unlike most other cases, this case is lined with a microfiber fabric. This helps to minimize the risk of scratches or dings. If you plan to trade-in or re-sell your S6 at some point, it’s important to keep your device looking pristine. And if you plan to keep your S6 for years, you’ll be happy to learn that the case is backed by a lifetime warranty.

9. CellBee Galaxy S6 / Galaxy S6 Edge PU Leather Pouch Carrying Case

If you prefer having a case on your phone full time, you can still use this carrying case, as it’s roomy enough to hold an S6 with a thick Otterbox case on it.
