Cases have become such an important component of owning almost any smartphone. There are few exceptions, at least as far as the rugged devices go (e.g. the Galaxy S7 Active), but for the most part, you’ll need a case to keep your device safe simply because they’ve gotten so fragile.

Samsung has had a pretty rough few weeks, with their latest and greatest phone exploding and being recalled, twice.

That might be true by the time the robots have taken over, but right now, most 3-D printed dresses or wearable technology is part marketing start, part terrible abomination that should never have left a lab.

But is that really so? The Galaxy Note 7 may be the worst recall Samsung had to face, but it’s certainly not the only one.
