Use a Samsung Galaxy S5 as your business phone? The S5 is packed with lots of features that make it ideal for business. Between its larger battery, its power-saving features, and its great connectivity options, there are lots of reasons to select this phone for corporate use. In order to preserve the phone, it should be used with a case and a screen protector. This will limit the chances of scratches or cracks in the device. Whether it’s a company phone or a phone you bought yourself, these cases will protect your S5 so it’s always ready to serve your needs.
1. LifeProof Fre Series Galaxy S5 Case
Check out a detailed review of this case in the video above.
Part of the reason that the Galaxy S5 is so appealing as a business phone is because it has some great, rugged features. The S5 has an IP67 rating for dust and waterproofing, which makes it appealing for companies who worry about accidental device damage due to an errant cup of coffee. But some businesses involve a lot of work near the water, or outdoors in damp conditions, so a little extra waterproofing by way of the case is a nice touch.
The LifeProof Fre case for the S5 effectively doubles the waterproof rating to IP68, without blocking access to features like the fingerprint scanner or the heart rate monitor. The case also provides snow and shock protection, which is great news for organizations where the employees have a track record of breaking their company phones.

3. Thule Gauntlet Samsung Galaxy S5 Case

Thule makes smartphone cases that are extremely rugged, while also being attractive and easy to grip. When people drop their phones, it is often because they have lost their grip on the case. The Thule Gauntlet case has a great texture, with “easy-grip” contours that make it easy to keep the phone in your hands, no matter what orientation you hold the device in. Whether you are taking a photo in landscape mode or sending a text in portrait mode, it will be easy to keep the phone in your hand, and not on the ground. As an additional bonus, the case costs a fraction of what you’d pay for a LifeProof case, which will help the company’s bottom line.
