Smartphones (and the Samsung Galaxy S4 especially) are state-of-the-art mobile computers, full with the latest technologies and groundbreaking innovations. Unfortunately, a smartphone is for many people an accessory that they carry around every day: they take it to work, play games and read books on it, use it to track their running progress, browse on the internet with it and sometimes actually make or answer a call with it.

They get scratched by your keys or sand in your pocket and purse, break when dropped in a fall and drown in water. Since the Samsung Galaxy S4 carries a hefty price, it is wise to invest in protection, and most cases offer significantly more protection to daily use than the "naked" phone.

Another reason to invest in a Samsung Galaxy S4 case is because it allows you to customize its looks. Even though the phone will be available in multiple colours, there will be a lot of people with the same phone. A cool, custom case will make you stand out in the crowd, plus it will probably protect your Samsung Galaxy S4 from harm as well.

The Galaxy S4 View Cover is a special cover made by Samsung itself. Most covers cover the full phone, protecting it but also hiding important updates from view. The new View Cover however allows you to view updates while still protecting your S4!

The phone can sense when the cover is closed and switch to a minimized view when new updates arrive, putting the information in a tiny window that lines up with the cover's cutout. In this view, you can get access to information such as the time, battery status, the current music playlist, and caller ID.

We've already seen this cover on the previous flagship phone from Samsung: the Galaxy S3. Now the Flip cover returns for the Galaxy S4, offering protection and a cool, sophisticated look.
