Samsung usually offers several protective case options for its flagship devices, and this year will be no different. A leak last month revealed that the company will have at least 66 different case options for the Galaxy S22 trio. Now, as we get closer to the official unveiling of the new Galaxy flagships, we are starting to see real-life photos of some of those cases. The folks over at SamMobile have got hold of some photos of the Leather Cover for the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ and the Smart Clear View Cover for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. We had seen the latter in renders last week.
Galaxy S22 series protective cases appear in real-life photos
Starting with the Smart Clear View Cover for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, there’s something new here. The case itself is not new as Samsung offered such cased for its flagship models in the past as well. However, the company is making some design changes this time around. As you can see in the photos below (and above), the latest offering features a tiny rectangular window in the top-right corner. Prior iterations featured a narrow transparent strip that ran across the length of the top leaf. But either way, it lets you see the Always-On Display without lifting the top leaf of the cover.
Perhaps Samsung decided to tweak the Clear View Cover’s design this year to go with the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s design change. The new top-of-the-line Galaxy S flagship looks more like a Galaxy Note device. Squarer corners, built-in S Pen holster, and a new camera design, everything screams a Note phone. There were even reports of the phone debuting as the Galaxy S22 Note or something of that sort. But Samsung seemingly chose to keep this consistent and call it Galaxy S22 Ultra.
The vanilla Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ models, meanwhile, sport an identical design that isn’t too different from the Galaxy S21 series last year. There’s not much to talk about their Leather Cover either. It simply protects the back of the phone without offering any extra bits like the Clear View Cover.
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S22 series next week
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been appearing in leaks and rumors since the first half of 2021. The leaks keep coming even today and likely won’t stop until the devices are official. Thankfully, it’s not a long wait now. Samsung has confirmed that it will unveil its upcoming flagships on February 9, 2022. The Galaxy Tab S8 series is also expected to go official on the same day. So stay tuned.
