(Mr. Shield)

It would be super annoying to get a scratch on your brand new phone. The Mr. Shield line of screen protectors offers great protection, as well as a lifetime replacement warranty. The warranty is pretty generous, with the company sending you new screen protectors if you improperly install the first protector, or if you buy a protector that doesn’t fit correctly. If you want to prevent grime, scratches, or dings from messing up your screen, this is a smart investment.

Buy it here.

  • 2. Mobi-Lens Combo Pack

  • 3. Samsung Galaxy Gear 2

    Check out a hands-on look at the Gear 2 in the video above.

    Sure, you could get the cheaper Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo…but the more premium version of the Gear 2 just feels better against your skin. The Gear 2 has one big feature the Gear 2 Neo lacks: an on-board camera. A camera on watch is one way to feel like a super spy.

    Buy it here.

  • Longer lasting battery than the previous Gear generation
  • Swappable bands

  • Costs more than the Gear 2 Neo or Gear Fit
  • Some reviewers found the software a bit glitchy
  • Somewhat limited app options
  • A bit heavier on the wrist than a Gear 2 Neo

    (Shocksock)

    If you’re looking for a case to use on your S5 Mini while running, hitting the gym, or just running around town doing errands, this Shocksock case keeps your phone secure (and your hands free.)

Make sure to clean it regularly, and you’ll likely enjoy this S5 Mini accessory.
