Whenever LG announces something, anything, we have to throw the story around the office like a hot potato because none of us want to write about yet another widget that LG copied from Samsung. Today’s newest doohickey: Quick Covers. They’re cases for LG’s new Optimus G Pro that function exactly like Samsung’s Flip Covers, the ones that have been shipping since … we can’t remember because it feels like they’ve always been out.
Is LG ever going to stop copying Samsung? We certainly hope so. Several of you give us flack for making fun of LG, that them existing is a healthy for the Android ecosystem. We don’t exactly agree with that. What’s so healthy about introducing subpar products to market when there are better gizmos available? There’s a reason why HTC fanbois exist, because they’re passionate about HTC’s products. The same can be said about Samsung. But LG? No one uses an LG phone because they bought it with their own money, chances are they got it as a gift or free on contract from their operator.
But let’s get back to these Quick Covers for a second. Samsung likes to offer their Flip Covers in white, black, baby blue, lime, orange, pink, and maybe one other color, this writer’s memory isn’t that good. LG will offer the exact same colors, including a purple hue!
That’s innovation people. Purple.
How much will these covers cost and when will they hit the market? They’ll be in South Korea “soon” for between $36 and $40. That’s not terribly unreasonable, especially considering that they replace the back of the device, which is again, exactly how a Samsung Flip Cover works.
