A front cover with a snap-on back that replaces the original back, so the phone stays slim. It came in Black Mist, White Frost, Light Blue, Pink, Green, Orange and Yellow, at $39.99.
S View Flip Cover
The new design. A clear window at the top shows date, time, battery and signal, shows text messages and lets you accept or reject calls with the cover closed. Auto Wake-Up means no swipe to unlock after opening it. Colours were Black Mist and White Frost, at $59.99.
Protective Cover+
A snug cover for the back and sides that guards against bumps, scratches and falls and improves grip. Colours were White, Navy, Green, Blue and Pink, at $29.99.
Power
The Spare Battery Charging System charges the phone’s spare and the phone at once. It includes a spare 2600 mAh battery, a charging stand and a wall charger, with an LED showing when the battery is full. The price was $49.99. A Universal Battery Pack of 9000 mAh could charge a smartphone up to three times or a tablet once, at $79.99.
