Maximum protection
LifeProof FRE
For the ultimate protection, LifeProof is a brand that sits at the top.

The case is designed this time around to be thinner than previous generations, while still providing the same amount of worry-free protection for your phone.

Pick the case that’s right for you
There’s no shortage of great options to protect your Galaxy S7. We particularly like the Spigen Liquid Crystal because it manages to strike the ideal balance between affordability and protection. The clear case allows you to show off your Galaxy S7 in all its glory, but you also get raised edges at the front that protect the screen in the event of a fall. Best of all, the slim design doesn’t add any considerable heft to the Galaxy S7.
If you’re looking for the ultimate protection for your phone, look no further than the OtterBox Symmetry. The case will add a significant amount of bulk to your device, but the dual-material design ensures your phone stays protected for years to come.
