Along with the Samsung Galaxy S8, perhaps one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2017 is the LG G6, a phone that proves LG went back to basics, trading experimental features, such as the G5's lackluster promise of modularity, for premium features consumers actually want and need.
The bells and whistles are there: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, 4 GB of RAM and more. It's a flagship device through and through, no question. To keep everything on the premium scale, LG has opted to clothe the G6 with a glass back, which makes having a protective case an imperative.
If you're planning to pick up an LG G6, here are the best cases you can buy for it, and you'll wanna throw a few accessories, too, if you're up for some added functionality.
Best LG G6 Cases
• Caseology Vault Line And Parallax Line — Announced during the recently concluded Mobile World Congress, both of these cases from Caseology "boast thoughtful design elements, high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) construction, and come in an array of colors to perfectly match an individual's unique look and style."
Both the Vault and Parallax line of cases for the G6 offer excellent grip, seamless buttons for unhindered accessibility, and raised lips for drop protection. The Vault line is the more minimalist of the two; the other offers a more pronounced geometric aesthetic. Vault cases are only available in black, while Parallax cases are available in black, cherry, and navy.
• Spigen Rugged Armor — The good thing about Spigen's Rugged Armor case for the G6 is that it'll protect the phone without making it look extremely bulky. In fact, it looks sleek, owing to the carbon fiber texture on the rear, alongside the clear port cutouts.
In terms of protection, Spigen deftly earns its "rugged" naming scheme for the case, offering a spider web shock absorption on the interior and Air Cushion technology in all corners. For those looking to buy a sleek and strong protective case for their G6, it has to be Spigen's Rugged Armor.
• Trianium Clarium Series Case — A lot of cases are opaque, thereby barring the device from being flaunted to onlookers. Sometimes, this is why clear cases are great, such as the Trianium Clarium Series Case in particular. With it, the G6 gains protection, but doesn't hinder the user from showing off the phone's gorgeous design. It protects, and it flaunts with style. What more could you ask for?
• Belk Bumper Case with Kickstand — For those looking to protect their G6 with a bit more flair, there's the Belk Bumper Case, which is made from Polycarbonate and TPU, and comes in black, blue, green, gray, and rose gold. It even comes with its own integrated kickstand, which goes well for rigorous movie sessions with the LG G6's gorgeous aspect ratio. If that's not enough, the kickstand even features a mini compartment for something like a credit card to slide in. Neat!
Best LG G6 Accessories
• Anker Qi Wireless Charging Pads — Both of Anker's Qi Wireless Charging Pads, the PowerTouch 5 and PowerTouch 10, are being made available ahead of the G6's official release date, and if you've been aching for a wireless charging pad for a while, maybe this is the right time to buy one now, as both of these pads can be had for low, low prices, thanks to promo codes provided by Android Headlines.
Both of these charging pads — with the key difference being that the PowerTouch 10 uses USB-C — will work readily with the G6, as the phone supports wireless charging out of the box.
• SuperShieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protector — Although smartphones today have pretty tough glass panels protecting the display, it's still almost an imperative to get a screen protector just to be sure. The G6's screen is unlike other screens on the market, with its unique widescreen aspect ratio. But that doesn't mean it can't have a screen protector. Good thing SuperShieldz has got that pretty much covered — pun intended.
• JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth Speaker — While the G6's speaker might be enough for some, there's still the allure of an external speaker that packs audible punch. There are a lot to choose from, but nothing else strikes a perfect balance between sound quality, price, and features, than the JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker. It's portable, waterproof, has 20 hours of battery life, offers USB charging, and costs $130.
