The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a beautiful phone. Samsung smartly redesigned their new flagship with a glass back and premium materials that come at a premium price. To keep your new phone looking the best, you may want to invest in a case so you can avoid scratches and drop damage. Here is our list of what we think are the 5 best cases for the Samsung Galaxy S6 currently on the market.

Griffin Reveal

The Griffin Reveal is the first clear case on our list of 5 Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S6. The Griffin Reveal is different from other clear cases in the way it handles the edges of your phone. Instead of being a completely clear case, the Reveal has rubber running around the edges of the case. This helps with shock absorbing and grip. The back of the case is clear so you can still see the blue/black on the back of your phone.

The Reveal is a case that will help a lot with scratch protection and adds a lip for front protection. at 1.6mm thick, it’s just a bit bigger than the Moshi iGlaze XT but still feels good in the hand. You can pick it up on Amazon with Prime Shipping for Only $19.99.

Moshi iGlaze XT

Moshi makes excellently looking products and the iGlaze is no different. The iGlaze XT is a clear case that focusses on scratch resistance and showing off the design of your Galaxy S6. The iGlaze XT is extremely thin so there’s no added bulk on your phone and all of the buttons are cut out in the case for easy access.

There is some give in the case so that it’ll be able to absorb some shocks but this isn’t an otterbox. And that’s a good thing because it looks much better! The surface of the case is treated in an anti-scratch coating to keep it scratch free and the raised bezel keeps the front of the phone protected.

You can pick up the Moshi iGlaze XT on Moshi’s website for $34.95. You can read our first impressions about the Moshi iGlaze, the iGlaze XT’s textured brother, and Moshi iVisor in our first impressions post.

A comfortable case to hold due to its soft feeling material, the Hip Case + comes with a holster that the case slides into so you can keep this on your hip instead of in your pocket.
