The Samsung Galaxy S5 is without doubt one of the best smartphones to have been released this year so far. Here are 10 ways to keep it safe from accidental drops, spills, or slides.


Otterbox Commuter Wallet

Whilst being tough as old boots, the Otterbox Commuter wallet case for the S5 comes in handy when you want to store your credit cards with your phone. You can pop them in a slide out tray on the back of the case.

This one’s a great case to get if you’re thinking about using contactless payments or other NFC/RFID functionalities.

Cygnett UrbanShield

The Cygnett Urbanshield has a carbon fibre, dual material protective layer and manages to stay somewhat slim. It also protects the screen as the edges are raised slightly, and it comes with a free screen protector. One major plus point is that the case doesn’t interfere with the headphone jack input, a problem with many phone cases currently if your headphones have slightly larger than normal jack collar.

Galaxy S5 Case Slim Armor View

We reckon this is one of the most useful and best looking cases out there for the Galaxy S5. It’s got an interactive viewing window for a portion of the screen, letting you access functions without opening the full case up. This corresponds with an automatic sleep/wake function. Alongside this – the case is tough enough to survive most falls.

Price: £34.99
