The Galaxy A37 has a glass front and back with a plastic frame holding it together, and quite thin for its 198g size. Hence, it’s easier to drop. Aluminum frames on pricier phones would’ve absorbed more of the impact if you dropped it, but plastic absorbs less, so more of a drop reaches the glass.
Worse, the camera block is raised, and when the phone lies on its back, it touches surfaces and picks up scratches over time. Fortunately, the launched March 25 and went on sale April 10.
At six months old, there are plenty of cases for it at lower prices. The phone itself costs around $400 to $450, so a repair would cost a good share of it, while a case costs a lot less. You need a case that’s enough for everyday hits to your phone. Here are some great options.
Spigen Rugged Military-Grade Armor
$13.99
Spigen's armor fits everything the A37 needs. It's a slim, flexible TPU case with Air Cushion corners, a matte grip texture, and raised edges around the screen and camera without adding more weight to an already heavy phone.
Otterbox ultra-thin minimalist case
$29.99
It's $29.99 is about double the Spigen's. But the extra money is able to fetch you a thinner case, textured edges, a certified military drop rating, and OtterBox's replacement warranty. Buy it if you plan to keep your A37 for even more years than Samsung has offered support for.
Spigen ultra-hybrid non-yellowing case
$14.99
A reasonable pick if you bought your phone for its color and want to keep seeing it. The soft bumper protects the corners, and the anti-yellowing treatment lasts long. The catch is that the hard back slides around, so it doesn't help much with a slippery phone. But you'll have all-round protection if it ever slides out of your grip or surfaces.
Samsung official clear case
$24.99
Samsung officially designed this case alongside the A37, so every cutout is a perfect fit. It also has anti-fingerprint coating, given that clear cases show every smudge. Frankly, its protection benefits are pretty basic. But they're worth the money.
Samsung official silicone case
$34.99
Yet another Samsung official case, but it's grippiest of all on this list. Silicone basically sticks to your hand, which suits a phone this slippery. It feels soft and comes in four nice colors. However, the same grip picks up lint and drags against your pocket. but still get it because it's the most comfortable pick.
Spigen tough armor with kickstand
$14.99
This case has two layers, including Air Cushion corners and a kickstand. The kickstand helps greatly on a 6.7-inch AMOLED if you watch a lot of video content. It also adds thickness to the phone that would otherwise feel awkward in hand.
Your cheapest insurance for skipping repairs
Order a case today, and when it arrives, ensure to make a habit of regular maintenance afterward. It's tempting to cement it to your device until you need a new one.
But you should take your case off every few weeks and wipe the phone down. Otherwise, fine grit gets trapped between the case and the glass back and wears it down slowly. Clear cases make this issue even easier to miss.
