Sticker shock: Samsung Galaxy S7 Lens Cover costs a whopping €150

Peter, 24 February, 2016

The Lens Cover for the Samsung Galaxy S7 impressed with the quality of its build (you can read our hands-on for more info). Also, it was interesting to see Samsung dabble in something usually handled by third-party accessory makers.

A Dutch e-tailer has put up the Lens Cover and its two lens (telephoto and fisheye) up for pre-order and, well, we hope it really overestimated the price.

Really, the total cost (including VAT) comes out to €152.46. That's £120/$167. Fine, Dutch gadget prices are higher than average for Europe and in the US taxes will probably be lower than the 20% VAT in the Netherlands, but that's still a lot of money (guess olloclip can breathe easy).

Anyway, the cover will ship March 9, that's a couple of days before the Galaxy S7 edge itself heads out to consumers.

Thanks for the tip, Michel!

Samsung doesn't NEED any of this stuff either. And if i'm not mistaken, there are already a bunch of iPhone attachents exactly like this so your point is mute.
