This is a first for me. LG introduced the all new Quick Cover for the yet-to-be-announced LG G5. I am guessing that they are creating the hype on its accessories before the official announcement. From the picture, we can roughly tell the shape of the LG G5 (which is no surprise anyways).
BTW, the LG G5 is rumored to have an always on screen which is perfect for this Quick Cover. You can read the details below. No mention of when LG G5 will be announced but I guess it will be at or before MWC (Mobile World Congress) in late February 2016.
Press Release
INTRODUCING TOUCH-ENABLED QUICK COVER FOR YET-TO-BE-ANNOUNCED LG G5
Introducing a Case for a Smartphone That Does Not Officially Exist
SEOUL, February 11, 2016 — LG Electronics (LG) took the wraps off a new version of its Quick Cover case, designed specifically for LG’s next generation flagship smartphone, LG G5, which does not yet exist. Known as a company ahead of the times, LG took this characterization to heart by revealing the existence of the accessory before the actual product.
The latest LG Quick Cover offers the advantages of previous Quick Covers but with even more features. The touch function, recently introduced on the K10’s Quick Cover View, is now available on the G5 Quick Cover’s semitransparent mesh cover. It enables users to take calls and control alarm settings without opening the case for the ultimate in convenience.
The always-on display rumored to be a feature in the LG G5 allows users to check the time, date and notifications with the case cover closed. LG also incorporated a unique film with a glossy metallic finish to enhance the smooth and luxurious look and feel of the cover for maximum consistency with the speculative LG G5.
