Caseology Vault Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Case 45mm (2022) - Matte Black

So lets get the elephant in the room addressed, first. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is already a larger watch... and when you add this Caseology case to it, it gets significantly larger. That said, surprisingly, there isnt much more bulk attached to the case, so the weight feels essentially the same. Ive been using this for the last few days, and it genuinely works to keep the watch clean and away from dings and scratches. HOWEVER, I might add, there are a few things to be aware of. 1.) Putting this case on the watch, wasnt anywhere close to a fun experience. (and taking it off wont be any easier, I suspect) To protect the watch, the case needs to be snug, thats true.. but this one is definitely VERY tight... 2.) The design isnt as flush as it could be. if you see the attached photo of the band side of the watch, you can see the strange curved gap that exists with this case in place. If youre going to be wearing this on the trail, or while hiking/climbing.. be aware that youre likely to trap something in that gap.. Ive already experienced a few pieces of wood/sawdust getting stuck in it, while wearing it while trimming trees in my yard. 3.) I like the fact that Caseology made sure to leave the port on the side opposite the buttons, open. For those that use the watch in water conditions, after you exit swim mode (water mode) the watch will actually use that port to eject water that may have made it inside the watch. Obviously if thats blocked, water will be trapped, as well. 4.) Speaking of water. The case fits so snugly around the watch, after simply washing my hands, I had to shake out water that was trapped between the case and the watch, on the under side of the watch. The above are all minor concerns, the main things to keep in mind are the fact that it DOES work, and will keep the watch protected. It DOES also allow the watch to continue to charge via its standard wireless charger, AND proprietary ones, too. That said, while Im a huge fan of Caseologys products, and Im rating this 5 stars, I will likely not wear this on a day to day basis. The increased size and sort of matte black plastic on the device, sort of makes the watch appear a little less elegant than it normally would. But, by all means, when I plan on going out and hitting the trails, or go camping.. it will definitely make its way to my watch. In those situations, good protection is paramount to anything else.

The case itself is more rubber than hardened plastic. As I put it on, it tore by the lower button. However, it is still on and protecting my watch. If I had to pay for it I would be a bit upset

It fits great and looks good overall. Only 4 stars because it can be a little tricky to install. However, thats because case is a bit stiff. So it doesnt slip on as easily. Still its not that hard to get on. Durability? Seems like it should last but no way I can really comment on it. I just got it today. One thing to keep in mind is what type of charger your using. If your charger needs your watch to be in a vertical position, than this case will probably cause the watch not to line up correctly. Than your watch will not be able to charge. Just something to keep in mind.

I hate the fact that I bought this to protect my my watch and after a week I got a new band and took the cover off to clean everything first and the finish is rubbed off the watch fron the protective case

The Caseology Vault for my smart watch fit properly. It was very easy to snap on. It provides great protection for my watch. It also feels very durable. Although, everything look smooth Ill have to remove to clean it to get rid of debris. Other than that, Im happy with the fit and the protection for my watch.

Want your watch to look like its from NERF? Not fit with your OEM bands well? This is the case for you. Removed ten minutes after installing.

Like the way it looks on watch

The case matches the default watch band, so it looks like one peace

Protects perfectly and doesnt add bulk. Must have

Easy to install did not need to take band off and looks great so far. Made it a little thicker but being a Deputy Fire Chief and truck driver gonna keep it from getting dinged up while working!!!
