Samsung Gear 2 ($300) or Gear 2 Neo ($200)
Samsung Gear 2 Neo
The smartwatch market hasn't really taken off yet, but we saw progress when we got a hands-on look at the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. You're likely to find deals that bundle them with the compatible Galaxy S5 and they could be the ultimate accessories. The Gear 2 is the headliner and it can take calls, feed you notifications from your phone, capture photos and video, measure your heart rate, stream music to a Bluetooth headset, act as a remote for the TV, and more. The Neo just lacks the camera.

Samsung Gear Fit ($200)
Samsung Gear Fit
A slimmed down and stylish Gear Fit can hook up to your Galaxy S5 and provide you with notifications about incoming calls, messages, and emails. It also has the ability to reject calls and reply to messages. Its main purpose is to track your activity and it has a heart rate sensor built-in, but it doesn't have the camera or the other extras you'll find on the Gear 2 and the Neo. The Gear Fit is a really good-looking device with a curved Super AMOLED touchscreen.

V-Moda XS Headphones ($200)
V-Moda XS Headphones
Over-the-ear headphones are just more comfortable, and this set delivers excellent sound. They're not too bulky either, making them a perfect portable companion for your new Galaxy S5. The price tag might give you pause, though audiophiles won't balk at dropping $200 for great headphones.

PureTek Roll-On Screen Shield Kit ($25)
PureTek Roll-On Screen Shield Kit
It can be good to add an extra layer of protection to your new phone's screen, but screen protectors can be tough to fit properly and there's nothing worse than ending up with a peeling, bubbling layer. PureTek's solution is a roll on kit that fits perfectly, can be combined with a case, and comes with a lifetime warranty. You can also opt for an antibacterial coating, fingerprint resistance, and anti-glare properties.
Samsung 64GB Class 10 MicroSD Card ($60)
Samsung 64GB Class 10 microSD Card
The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes in 16GB or 32GB varieties, but you won't really find anywhere near that much space free. Invest in a MicroSD card and you can store your photos, videos, and other files, along with a large music collection. This is a fast card and it's capable of withstanding seawater, magnetic fields, and sudden impacts.
Osomount 360 Grip In Car Mount ($25)
Osomount 360 Grip In Car Mount
Here's a car mount that combines simple design and an understated style with the functionality you need. Put the suction cup on your dashboard or windshield and push down the lever to secure it in place. The spring-loaded jaws automatically close to grip your phone, and the silicone lining ensures it won't slip out, even on a bumpy road. It rotates a full 360 degrees and there's a ball joint, so you can find the perfect angle and then tighten it to secure it in place.
Samsung Wireless Charging Pad ($40)
Samsung Wireless Charging Pad
Wireless charging with this square Samsung pad should be a breeze and it will work with the S5, S4, and any other Qi-certified device. Plug it in, drop your phone on it, and make sure the LED is green to indicate charging is go. It's not going to be as fast as a wall charger with Micro USB, and you're going to have to get a charging cover for $30, but it saves you fiddling around with cables.
Spare Battery Charging System ($50)
Samsung Spare Battery Charging System
The Galaxy S5 has a power saving mode and an ultra power saving mode, but if you're not prepared to cut down your functionality, or you know you'll be out of range of a charger for a while, then you may still prefer an extra battery. This kit provides the extra battery and a charging case, with an extra wall charger to keep you fully powered.
Chil Slap Stylus ($10)
CHIL Slap Stylus
If you want to use a stylus with your Galaxy S5 then you certainly can. Go into Settings > Display and check the box next to Increase touch sensitivity and you'll find it should work perfectly. To deal with the issue of having to carry a stylus around with you, opt for this bracelet style offering from Chil. It's a neat design that curls itself around your wrist or any available lanyard or strap, and snaps straight when you want to use it.
Sony SRS-BTX500 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker ($250)
Sony SRS-BTX500 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
There are loads of Bluetooth speakers out there, but this Sony offering combines understated style with powerful sound, portability, and easy pairing via Bluetooth, or one-touch NFC. There's also a button on the back for hands-free calling that converts it into a top notch speakerphone, and you can charge your S5 via the USB port on the back. As a complete package at this price, it's tough to beat.
That's all of the Samsung Galaxy S5 accessories we have right now, but we'll add more to this roundup when we find worthy options. Post your favorites in the comments.
