Ballistic unveils six-sided protection cases for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge smartphones

If you are a fan of the Android operating system, Samsung smartphones and tablets are some of the best. The company's devices are beautiful, well-built and full of features. More importantly, the company is reliable for support; sure, OS updates aren't as frequent or timely as a Nexus device, but Galaxy phones aren't abandoned like some others.

If you plan on buying the latest Samsung flagships, either the Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, you will probably want to protect your investment. Don't worry, Ballistic has you covered. The company announced new cases for those phones, with six-sided protection, that are absolutely gorgeous too.

"The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, being announced late February with availability in March, will find its ideal match in Ballistic’s new line of protective cases. Ballistic is proud to announce two new series, Jewel Mirage and Urbanite Select. Both new series offer Ballistic’s well-known Six-Sided Drop Protection, and come fully equipped with Ballistic Corners, raised lips and corners and six-feet of drop protection. Users do not need to sacrifice personal style for all-over protection with Ballistic", says Ballistic.

The company further says, "Jewel Mirage ($29.99) has a slim, sleek design with a sophisticated twist. Its laser etched metal designs, 'Retro' and 'Kasbah', in either gold or silver, take nothing away from the signature Ballistic protection promised with every case. Urbanite Select ($39.99), available in Dark Ash Wood, White Ash Wood or Buffalo Leather, is Ballistic's slimmest series yet, offering an elegant design with a user friendly experience. Its ultra slim, lightweight, pocketable design is crafted from premium materials and holds true to Ballistic’s Six-Sided Drop Protection".

While the Jewel Mirage is attractive, the Urbanite Select is the true star. For only $10 more, you get trendy and premium materials such as wood or buffalo leather -- how fancy! Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you may prefer the Mirage.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these cases, you can do so here in March. Will you buy one? Tell me in the comments.
