Smartwatches are, at the end of the day, miniature versions of our phones and are hence, rather fragile. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has an aluminum chassis that can get scratched easily. Furthermore, a hard impact on the display would mean there’s a good chance of the screen shattering. All of this can be avoided by getting a case for your smartwatch. Here are some of the best protective cases for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro that you can buy. Before we get to the cases though, here are some other related articles that may interest you –

Let’s get to the cases now! Since the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is sold in just one size — 45mm, all the cases mentioned below are compatible with it.
1. Nxtudy Bumper Case with Screen Protector
Like all smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a metallic exterior that’s easy to scratch and a glass display that’s easy to break. Despite the toughened sapphire glass this time around, it’s not entirely shatterproof if you wear your watch while playing sports or on a trek. This is exactly why a bumper case like this one can turn out to be useful. It’s rather inexpensive and provides great protection for your expensive watch. The case has a matte black exterior that adds a subtle layer of protection. It’s not loud and won’t be visible when viewed from far. Another USP of this case is that it comes with a free screen protector in the pack. If you want basic protection for cheap, this is the way to go.
2. Ringke Slim Cover
The Ringke Slim cover comes in a pack of two with both cases being different. You get one black TPU case like the previous listing, accompanied by a clear case. The clear case, despite being clear, will be more evident when used with the watch since the black case blends in with the exterior of the watch face. However, the clear case comes in solid PC material and hence, doesn’t yellow over time. It’s still nice to see, though, that Ringke is bundling in two cases that you can alternate between. These are thin cases that don’t protrude out of the watch a lot which is nice in terms of aesthetics. If you want to maintain a low profile on your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and make it appear like you’re not using any case, consider getting this one. Do note that the level of protection is slightly lower on this one.
3. Caseology Vault
The Caseology Vault is a thick piece of TPU cover that will ensure your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro stays protected even in extreme scenarios. It looks and feels rugged so you don’t have to worry about your smartwatch’s body or display taking a hit if, at all, you end up dropping the watch or when it comes in contact with a hard surface. Given the thickness of the case and the reinforced corners, it is rather bulky and thus, can make the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro appear larger on your wrist. But, this is the trade-off you make for good protection. If you’re a fan of bulky-looking watches with good protection, you can go ahead and pick this one up. Caseology was also thoughtful enough to make ample room near the buttons to rest your fingers while recording your body composition.
4. Spigen Liquid Air Armor
This case is yet again for those who like a minimalistic black case around their smartwatch for protection but don’t want it to feel too bulky or drastically change how the smartwatch looks. Spigen’s Liquid Air cases generally strike a good balance between sufficient protection and minimal looks. This case for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is no different. When you look at the watch from far off with this case on, you probably won’t realize that there is an additional layer of protection present. After all, it’s a thin layer of TPU with some texture on the sides. Get this rugged case if you’re a fan of maintaining a sleek form factor but are also worried about damaging the watch if used naked.
5. Haojavo Bumper Shell with Screen Protector
Ever thought how nice it would be if you could change the way the front bezel of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro looked? If yes, this product is for you. This pack of 14 items gives you 6 different bumper shells that snap onto the front of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. You get multiple colors ranging from black, blue, silver, clear, grey, and carbon fiber. The rest of the items in the combo pack are tempered glass screen protectors for the watch. Not sure what you’ll do with 8 of them but at least you instantly have options if one of them breaks. If you’re someone who constantly likes to customize the look of your smartwatch with new colors and designs, this is just for you!
6. Spigen Rugged Armor Pro
The Spigen Rugged Armor Pro includes a strap attached to the case, changing the entire look of your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. You would certainly be a fan of how this case changes the look of your watch, especially if you like the way Casio’s G-Shock series looks. When seen from afar, you wouldn’t be able to tell if you’re wearing a smartwatch or a conventional digital watch. It’s not too bulky either and adds just the right amount of thickness to your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The level of protection offered by this case + strap combo is excellent for playing sports or any outdoor activities. If you don’t mind the bulk, this is easily one of the best-looking protective cases for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Keep Your Watch Protected
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro improves on the build materials and overall strength of the chassis and display. However, it’s still not invincible! A protective case like the above ones will help you keep scratches and scuffs away while adding some cosmetic changes to the watch.
