Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus accessory line
Samsung will be releasing several new cases and other accessories for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Here's a look at many of the new ones. Expect them to hit stores in late April and May after the new phones become available.
AKG earphones
These AKG wired earphones, which will be included with the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, will also be sold separately for $100. The bundled buds don't include a carrying case, but you get one if you purchase the headphones separately.
Clear View Standing Cover
The Clear View Standing Cover, which comes in a few translucent color options, is pretty slick. It retails for $60.

DeX Station
The DeX Station allows you to use your phone as a desktop computer, connecting it to a keyboard and monitor in desktop mode. It also wirelessly charges your phone. Price: $150.
Samsung Mobile Printer
It's unclear if this mobile printer will ever make it to the US market (it's available overseas). If it does, it'll cost around $100. You can wirelessly print to it simply by tapping it with your phone, using the Galaxy S8's NFC tap-to-pair technology.
Galaxy S8 Clear Case
This is a simple translucent case that comes in multiple color options and will cost a little less than $20.
Galaxy S8 LED View Cover
The slick, high-tech Galaxy S8 LED View Cover will retail for $60.
Galaxy S8 Alcantara Cover
The outside of the Alcantara is coated with a microsuede material that feels soft to the touch but also has a bit of grip to it. No word on the price of the cover but it's expected to sell for around $25 to $30.
Galaxy S8 Silicone Cover
The simple silicone cover will retail for $20.

Internally at Samsung this was known as the "bikini case." Its two pieces slip on and offer corner protection. If you're in the mood, you can go topless or bottomless. Price: around $20.
Samsung Level Box Slim
The Level Box Slim is a slim Bluetooth speaker that may or may not make it to the US market (it's being sold outside the US). If it does make it stateside, it'll cost around $100.
Wireless Charger Convertible

New Gear VR and Gear VR controller
There's a new controller for Samsung's Gear VR headsets. It was announced earlier at Mobile World Congress back in February along with a new Gear VR. No word yet on pricing.
