A newly leaked clear case, allegedly destined for the Galaxy S9, is making the rounds, and it looks to be fitting like a glove around the CAD-based renders that appeared yesterday. Unfortunately, it also means that Samsung may indeed reserve the dual camera set as a Galaxy S9+ exclusive, as this case here shows too short of an opening on the back for it to house two lenses and a finger scanner. Speaking of, the case hints at a different, under-camera fingerprint reader placement, compared to the S8, just as most leaks so far have iterated, which is a welcome change.

Another welcome thing is the obvious presence of a standard headphone jack, and the rest of the side layout seems to mimic the buttons, mics and speaker openings of the Galaxy S8, which will likely be transferred over to the S9 as well. All in all, the Galaxy S9 may be an iterative upgrade, righting what was perceived as wrong with the S8, not that we expected some radical overhaul of Samsung's still-fresh Infinity Display design anyway.
