Samsung, who plans to open up to 12 retail stores in Australia this year, has revealed a new line of accessories for the Galaxy S4 which will go on sale in Australia in April.

For gamers, the Game Pad fits around the S4 and mimics an Xbox controller with dual analog sticks, shoulder keys and action buttons. It features one-touch Bluetooth pairing via nearfield communication technology. Another unique accessory is stereo ear buds with on-cord phone control and a flat cable for fewer tangles; as well as an extra 2,600 mAh Samsung factory battery with included charging base.

A few options for cases are being offered. The Flip is a standard front cover case available in seven color choices. The S View case is basically a Flip with a cutout that reveals a small portion of the screen. When the case is closed, magnets alert the S4 to change its display to a summation of updates, including time, battery life, signal strength and number of new emails and texts, all visible through the cutout. The display turns off after a set time.
