Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 8 yesterday. The company is also offering several accessories that customers can purchase for the new flagship. The accessories include covers, chargers and more. They're essentially updated versions of the accessories that Samsung is already selling for handsets like the Galaxy S8.
The S View Cover for the Galaxy Note 8 not only provides protection for the device, it also holds the handset at an optimal angle for viewing media. It has a dedicated UX which makes it easy to check alerts, take calls and more without having to open the cover.
The Galaxy Note 8's LED Wallet Cover lets users check their phone and notifications at a glance with the LED display. They can also assign custom icons to their contacts and personalize caller ID. It even has a card pocket on the side where important items like a bank card can be kept securely.
For those who like luxurious textures, Samsung is selling an Alcantara Cover which is made of soft, suede-like Alcantara. The case is covered with this material inside and out. It's stain-resistant, scratchproof and can easily be cleaned with soap and water.
Those who require more durability can opt for the Protective Standing Cover. It's built to the MIL-STD-810G durability standard and provides a full view of the Infinity Display. It even has a kickstand in the back to hold up the phone. The cover has to be removed in order to wirelessly charge the Galaxy Note 8, though.
Samsung is also selling a simple Protective Cover for the Galaxy Note 8. It adds a layer of protection and lets the original color of the handset shine through. It adds minimal bulk as the cover is just 0.95mm thick.
Customers can also opt for the Wireless Charger Convertible accessory. It converts into a pad and a stand so that users can choose to lay their phone flat or prop it up in portrait mode.
There's also a 5,100mAh external Battery Pack to help keep the Galaxy Note 8 powered on the go. Given its unimpressive battery stats, this is one accessory that many will purchase.
Pricing for the accessories varies by market so check with retailers in your region.
