Wrong phone sold!

This is a weird one. I've been wanting a new and slightly better phone than the very basic one I've had for four years. Sim free. After much research online, I finally decided on a Samsung Galaxy J3. Took my old phone to my local exchange shop where sure enough they had the phone I wanted. Clearly labelled Samsung Galaxy J3 2017. I'm pretty dim at these things so I asked the guy in the shop to set it up for me.
Back home, it took me a while to get to know the basics of the phone and it wasn't until two days later that I realised I actually had a J5 not a J3. I gather this is a slightly better phone than the J3 but it's not the one I wanted, asked for and was given, so I'm not sure whether to be annoyed, surprised, suspucious, or all three. Actually I am annoyed as I've ordered a case to protect what I thought was a J3 and now presumably when it arrives it won't fit as the J5 is slightly bigger.
Not sure what to do! Any thoughts?
