Samsung and Lacoste Collaborate on Flip Phone Cases
Lacoste and Samsung have collaborated to create an eco-friendly, Lacoste branded case for the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4. Sammobile has the details:
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the most fashionable smartphones created in recent times, and it provides an opportunity for Samsung to collaborate with different fashion brands. After revealing the Maison Margiela Edition, the company has now announced the launch of four new protective cases for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, created in an exclusive partnership with Lacoste.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 cases by Lacoste are available in four colors: Graphite, Blue, Lavender, and Rose Gold. The cases carry a subtle yet recognizable Lacoste crocodile logo. They were made from recycled materials, and the same goes for their packaging, which was made entirely from recycled cardboard, vegetable ink, and vegetable glue.
ScreenRant also has coverage:
According to their listing page on the official Samsung website, the two-piece silicone cases will offer protection against bumps and scratches while being thin and flexible enough to provide a comfortable grip. They are available in four solid colors, including Graphite, Blue, Lavender and Rose Gold, and carry a prominent Lacoste crocodile logo at the back.
Android Headlines also has coverage on the launch.
For now, it only seems to be available in France, but hopefully it will be in more countries soon.

Esquire has all the details on Ralph Lauren’s team-up with Fortnite that includes real world Fortnite branded Ralph Lauren polo shirts and an in-game tournament:
To the delight of Epic Games (and whoever they bank with), Fortnite is still a thing. A huge thing.

Right now, it’s Fortnite x Polo Ralph Lauren keeping the fire ablaze.
On Wednesday 2 November, the collaboration launched with a drop of IRL pieces, namely a polo shirt and a cap – both unisex, both available in white and ‘newport navy’, both distinguishable by a reworked Polo Pony logo (here a Polo Supply Llama).
