Samsung Galaxy S4 official accessories and cases roundup

You're going to buy the Samsung Galaxy S4, but it's not quite enough! Click through the photos above to check out Samsung's horde of official accessories and cases to go with its mighty new smart phone.

S View Cover and more cases

This cover has a clever little window that lets you see the time, and notifications that pop up on your Galaxy S4, even when the cover is closed. Check out a hands-on video of this snazzy accessory below, featuring our favourite New York-based gadget fondler and part-time crooner, Dan Ackerman.

Apart from the View Cover, Samsung's also made a more standard Flip Cover that doesn't have a window, as well as a pouch and the Protective Cover+, which looks to be rather rugged and should protect your phone from bumps and scrapes.

S Band and S Health accessories

Samsung is determined to keep you alive as long as possible, using the Nike FuelBand-esque S Band to record steps you take, calories burned and how far you've walked. It also checks how much you move while you're asleep, and syncs with your Galaxy S4. Oh, and it's waterproof.

Elsewhere Samsung has a set of scales that measure your weight and sends it to your Galaxy S4 via Bluetooth, and a heart-rate monitor too.

Game Pad and wireless charging

Weirdly, Samsung's made an Xbox controller-style Game Pad that works with the S4 and features dual analogue sticks and shoulder keys. Wireless charging is also possible if you buy the right kit -- a charging pad and special back plate will free you from your charging cable.

What do you think about the Samsung Galaxy S4? Will you be tracking down any of these accessories? Let me know in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.

and of course the cover with the hole in it that requires less material to make, will be more expensive than the exact same cover minus the hole!

Samsung are starting to wind me up, stop sticking S on everything. The S View cover is just awful. Looks like a calculator.

Does the S View Cover use a Magnet or does it use the camera to know when it is closed? This is important as my husband has to disable the camera for work. And if it uses the camera and that feature can't be turned off the phone wouldn't function with the camera disabled.

What a useless overpriced and over rated product. The stated purpose is, that you didn't have to open the case to see some limited but useful information (time, battery, email etc) then its revealed that you have to open the case to get the screen to light up to see the information. wtf? Am I missing something here? What Samsung needs to do, is make a quality waterproof case for this phone "pronto" and stop wasting time with stupid products like this.
