Samsung announces "Rich Accessory Collection" for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge
Samsung announced on Thursday that a collection of cases, covers and pouches will be offered for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. The "Rich Accessory Collection" will feature protective cases made by the top fashion brands in the industry. And sounding like some other tech company which will remain nameless, Samsung says that it wants to unite "the worlds of fashion and technology."
Brand names like Burton, Swarovski, Montblanc, Rebecca Minkoff and Romero Britto will be available, with the partners each contributing an accessory that focuses on their strengths. For example, Swarovski will offer "crystal-embellished covers" that show off the different shades of glass on both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge. Montblanc's contribution will be luxury covers and flip-cases made from leather. The cases and leather pouch designs from Rebecca Minkoff will feature edgy flower prints.
Samsung says that all of the accessories are designed to enhance the look of the new handsets rather than cover them up, allowing users to reflect their own personal style. The accessories will be available from Samsung's online store and from retail locations once the two models are launched. The Collection will also include a clear view cover, clear cover, S view cover, flip wallet, protective cover, wireless charger and external battery pack.
