dbrand, the well-known maker of custom skins for smartphones and other devices, today revealed two collections of vinyl skins for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
Of course, Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy S8 and S8+, so we’re a bit surprised to see dbrand’s collections already listed online. Nevertheless, this is not a leak or something like that. It’s serious news from a respected accessory maker.
dbrand’s Galaxy S8 skins are available in different finishes, including carbon fiber, leather, wood, metal, and stone. Prices can go from $9.95 (if you want only the back of your S8 to be covered) to $16.50 (for full coverage, including the phone’s front top and front bottom).
Interestingly, while presenting its skins, dbrand says that the Galaxy S8 is “an engineering masterpiece” and “also an absolute fingerprint magnet” – that’s why you might want to buy a skin for it. The accessory maker even shows a render of the S8 on its website. While we can’t vouch for its authenticity, this render is certainly in line with most of the previously leaked S8 images, showing a tall handset with a dual-curve display and very thin bezels. Also visible is a fingerprint scanners on the rear, next to the main camera.
Samsung will officially announce the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ on March 29, and could start selling both smartphones in April. Until then, for a detailed look at what the new handsets are expected to offer, you may want to check out our Galaxy S8 and S8+ rumor review.
