This move will help the partners extend their sales channels and also contribute to cooperation. Samsung has teamed up with Slash B Slash, a mobile accessory company, to obtain works of popular artists, including Toilet Paper, Keith Haring, and Smiley, along with eight intellectual property rights related to K-Pop, BTS Dynamite, and Stray Kids. The artworks of these popular stars will be applied to 55 kinds of accessories and sold in Korea.

Interested buyers can purchase Samsung Eco-Friends accessories from the company's flagship stores, Samsung Gangnam and Slash B'Slash Online Mall (slbs.shop). You can select from eco-friendly accessories to match products such as the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and the portable The Freestyle projector.

As per the official newsroom post, users can also apply a matching theme to their accessories on their Galaxy Z Flip 5 by scanning a QR code. Customers who purchased the Flipsuit case based on NFC can purchase an Eco Friends Flipsuit card to decorate the case and apply the screen theme.
