The best LG G5 cases: Spigen Rugged Armor
Spigen is usually one of the first companies out the traps with cases for popular phones, and we like the look and feel of this well priced case for the LG G5. The rubberised case provides decent shock dispersion to stop your new gadget taking inevitable bumps to its core.
With all the ports and finger print scanner accessible, this is an excellent choice for a basic way to protect your LG G5.
The best LG G5 cases: VRS bumper
Available in four bumper colours, the clear back allows you to still show off the colour of your LG G5 whilst protecting it from drops and dinks. It’s made of two pieces, with a polycarbonate bumper and clear plastic back. Pick the one that matches your phone and you’re good to go.
The best LG G5 cases: Tech21 Check Evo
The Evo Check case from Tech21 is a favourite of ours here at PC Advisor; we use it for the Samsung Galaxy phones as well as iPhones, so it’s great to see the company bringing one out for the G5.
It’s approaching expensive at just under £30, but it’s worth it – the bumper section is very protective, and the check pattern on the back does well to accentuate the LG’s great design.
The best LG G5 cases: Urban Armor Gear
UAG make some great cases, and this red effort for the G5 is no exception. It has oversized button on the outside of the case to easily use the protected phone and meets military drop test standards.
Despite this it’s surprisingly light and will easily please those looking for something a bit more rugged for day-to-day phone protection.
The best LG G5 cases: LG Snap On Cover Case
Another slick official LG case for the G5 is this inexpensive snap-on case that protects the back of the device. It has a UV coating for extra durability but does leave the screen exposed.
As well as protection it also gives the sometimes slippery handset extra grip but it lightweight enough to barely notice in the hand or in your pocket.
The best LG G5 cases: Patchworks Flexguard
You can get the ultimate corner impact protection with this affordable, attractively sleek case by Patchworks.
It’s flexible but has a great grip feel – the black version looks cool with the silver G5.
The best LG G5 cases: BELK wallet
Not to be confused with popular brand Belkin, this neat folio wallet from BELK will keep your G5 protected, while also giving space for a couple of credit or travel cards.
You can also set it horizontally to view videos; perfect for when your train stops just outside the station for ages and you want to catch the end of Bake Off.
The best LG G5 cases: i-Blason wallet
A smart folio wallet in black, perfect for keeping your G5 close to your credit card, which you may well have maxed out buying it in the first place.
The black grain of the leather looks great and as ever it can be used to prop up your phone to easier watch videos.
The best LG G5 cases: Caseology Wavelength
Caseology makes this great stylish case for the G5. It’s got a wavy grip design, which, in the black and gold colours, looks really good.
As well as looking relatively slim, it’s got decent rugged protection allowing for those occasions your phone becomes an honorary basketball, bouncing down stairwells and pavements.

Polaroid has continued its twenty-first century revival with the Hi-Print, a new pocketable Bluetooth photo printer that you might prefer to its instant cameras .
The unit prints onto 2.1 x 3.4in with adhesive backs, letting you print credit-card sized stickers of photos from your phone.
Polaroid said when the Hi-Print prints with its official photo paper, it uses a dye-sublimation process that should result in waterproof prints that don’t fade. Here’s hoping.
All you need is the printer, a pack of paper, and the iOS or Android app and you’re good to go.
The £81.99 printer is available now from Polaroid’s website , with a pack of 20 prints costing £15.99. It’s a little pricy, but sometimes it’s nice to make physical all the images we normally keep digitally.
