Despite the fact that the LG G5 hasn't yet been revealed, LG has unveiled the Quick Cover case for the upcoming smartphone. As part of the cheeky press release, LG waxes philosophically, posing the question: "What came first, the smartphone or the cover?"
Getting slightly more serious, LG says that the Quick Cover carries over the touch function from the LG K10's Quick Cover, allowing users to take calls and control alarms without opening the case. Oh, and that always-on display that LG recently teased? LG says you'll be able to use it to check out the time, date and notifications at any time through a window on the Quick Cover. The case also features a see-through mesh grid, similar to HTC's Dot View covers.
Finally, we can glean a bit more information about the LG G5 itself, as LG says that the Quick Cover features a "unique film with a glossy metallic finish" that complements the G5 itself. For more, you can read as LG winks and nudges around the G5 in the press release below. As for the phone itself, we'll get our first official look at the G5 on February 21, right before Mobile World Congress kicks off.
