Thanks for checking out all of these cases and screen protectors for us. It is always such a crap shoot, particularly when you get a phone at release. Much appreciated.
I got the Plyo Pro, but after 3 months it seems to start yellowing, and also the case starts to feel a little bit sticky. I'm now going to order the monarch series. I actually ordered the same Kevlar model with the red accents. I found it looks the best.
Curious, do you feel it was worth the price? Just got mine yesterday, $100 seems rather steep for what essentially feels like a normal phone case with Magsafe.
How strong is the magnet on those? Because some cases have some pretty weak magnets and I don't want to spend all that money on a case with a weak magnet.
As someone that just dropped and broke the screen on my s22 . It landed face down right on a pebble. I had the Samsung flip cover, which I really liked , being it covered the screen but very annoying while trying to take pictures one handed ,(one of the clip on buttons mighta helped) , the cover got in the way, anyways, it just happened to flip open just right to land on the screen . So now I'm paranoid of dropping directly in the screen , no matter , how good the rest of the case is . I did just order the monarch pro , so we'll see
Do the magsafe magnets on these cases interfere with the s-pen on the S23 ultra? Is the magsafe ring on these cases an actual magnet or is it just a metal plate which snaps to a magnet on the accessory itself?
If smartphones have a BATSUITS? UAG Monarch Pro would be it! Sheeeesh! Planning on copping this one next, since I already have my Pylo Pro for my S23 Ultra Cream.
Would it be possible to put any accessory on the monarch (not pro because magnets messing with compass and spen is NOT acceptable), to help hold the phone while taking pictures? Too big to pick a case without something like ring holder. I really want this case but i cant hold this big phone well for videos!
How are these cases protective if the most sensitive part, the screen is not covered. Phones are not equipped with device that would make them fall on the back only.
Looking for a magesafe car mount charger with a strong magnet for the Monarch Pro Kevlar case. The magsafe mount that I was using for my iPhone doesn't work well for the s23 ultra with Monarch Pro Kevlar case. Any suggestions
WHO would think there is a need for ANY screen "protector" when the glass is the VERY BEST Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2???? The answer is - IDIOTS....
I have the Monarch Pro which is surely very nice but for my tastes just too bulky. It's the Metropolis considerably less bulky or not much? Thank you for any input🙏
Was really hoping for more 360 degree screen lip. Any case you recommend for that? Currently using caseology Athlex, which was better than the spigen and esr in that regard
Hi sir I hope you well ..I'm desperately look for the monarch pro for my s23 ultra, I'm from cape Town south africa can you assist me with a case please please please .
The sides does not lip is a conpromise for people like me who uses google gestures i guess. I think it would not be so comfortable to swipe in the corners with case lips...
I have the Carbon Fibre one that was shown and it fits fine with the ESR camera lens protector. Just gotta be careful when removing your case because it is quite a snug fit
The UAG Monarch Carbon Fiber just looked too good to ignore. Have it ordered. Thanks for the video. Didn't want any damn magsafe on my phone case either. Could potentially mess up my swiss mechanical wrist watch.
A Kevlar case is OK.... ANY case made with Carbon Fiber WILL attenuate RF, BluTooth, and Wifi signals.... Stay away from Carbon Fiber.... (Do your RESEARCH before buying ANYTHING).............
What about actual drop test? I really don't trust "drop tested up to". I want to see real world drop test recorded on camera. So far I saw you threw casetify and limitless 5.0 and phone survived.
@@oc3144 doesn't matter. I won't buy expensive case that doesn't want to stand by its cases. He threw casetify easily because casetify stands by its cases. What about UAG?
@Hewhoremains Yes that is correct. I want to see a real world drop test BEFORE I buy the 100$ case so that I know my 1500e phone is safe. As if company is not willing to pay for drop test and stand behind their products then what's the point of any of this review? I mean it looks nothing different then to those 10$ fancy cases. How do I know it's really going to protect my phone and not being a 100$ scam for 1$ piece of plastic?
Smart man u hear all this uag praise to justify the ridiculous cost but I've never seen anyone drop test them like casestify uag OtterBox or Mous. For the price they ask you should absolutely want some proof
@@cs-ge5kx I was able to get it half off through Verizon. They normally do that when a new model launches. Funny thing is I don't have Verizon, I just take advantage of their sales on accessories
why don't you say that the bottom of the case is very soft, it bends under the finger, in this class of cases, in my opinion, it is unacceptable, cheaper cases are stiffer, every time we pull the phone out, we grab the soft one and stretch it ..
A Kevlar case is OK.... ANY case made with Carbon Fiber WILL attenuate RF, BluTooth, and Wifi signals.... Stay away from Carbon Fiber.... (Do your RESEARCH before buying ANYTHING).............
I e-mailed UAG asking this same question and they replied: ""We do wish to clarify that the color "Carbon Fiber" of our cases does not contain real carbon fiber. The carbon fiber is a print that is used to give it the aesthetic look"".... SO, it is a bullshit marketing LIE....
I have the carbon fibre monarch case and im getting the plyo pro clear case soon, it's on order. I love my monarch case and I can't wait to get my clear case
I hate the clear cases, because they look cheap from the front and sides. If clear cases had colored edges like black, then they would look a lot better from the front and sides. As is, clear cases only look good from the rear. And $100 dollars is ridiculous for a phone case. I got a case off Amazon, which has a sliding camera lens cover, and a 360 degree multi-angle kickstand that looks better than most of these. And while I really like the way the Monarch Pro looks, I'd never pay $100 dollars for it, when there are really good cases built with great quality for a fraction of that price.
Why are cases always black..... What's the point of picking out a phone color if you're going to cover it with a black case. These are great. What about the women who won a beautiful case? That goes with the color of the phone they chose but still have the protection and the features that all these new cases have that only coming blue and black. And before someone says they make it clear, yes,they do that will turn yellow around the edges within three months.
I agree with that, I always get excited for a really cool phone color but then have to remember I’m just going to cover it up with a case so what difference does it really make?

@@BrianKenney-wc4qd I was lucky, I paid only $50ish on my Kevlar case with mag safe. For that price it's a bargain. For $100, I'm not so sure.
Thanks for this. I was actually planning to buy the Plyo Pro but nevermind hehe

@@S85B50Engine very strong. Never had an issue using it in the car. It would never fell off.

Wanted the Monarch Pro but settled for the Monarch because the Monarch Pro seems to be on indefinite backorder
Will the monarch pro case on s23u stick to side of fridge
As a Samsung Ambassador and mobile tech enthusiast I always appreciate your accessories videos for the best reviews. 👌

Does the uag plyo pro have any oily/fingerprint issues?
Thanks again for another great case review 😎👏🇮🇪
Which is the least bulky?
Are these compatible with the camera protectors from whitestone?
How high is the side protection on sides and top
Why would they make the sides of the metropolis NOT grippy?
Does it work with Whitestone Dome tempered glass??
WHO would think there is a need for ANY screen "protector" when the glass is the VERY BEST Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2???? The answer is - IDIOTS....
Could you review plasma case. I am looking fwd to purchase either spigen optik armor or plasma case.
Please do review or recommend, which one to get?
I have the Monarch Pro which is surely very nice but for my tastes just too bulky. It's the Metropolis considerably less bulky or not much? Thank you for any input🙏
I got the metropolis after returning the monarch pro. monarch feels very bulky. the metropolis is very good in hand feel
I've been using Element Cases for iPhones & UAG Monarch for Androids.
Was really hoping for more 360 degree screen lip. Any case you recommend for that? Currently using caseology Athlex, which was better than the spigen and esr in that regard
agreed with you. Surround lip need to be raised to protect from screen cut in half if get dropped.
Try the Supcase UB pro it's got a frame that gives you 360 protection.
Is the metropolis the thinnest here?
Hi sir I hope you well ..I'm desperately look for the monarch pro for my s23 ultra, I'm from cape Town south africa can you assist me with a case please please please .
Nice review. I think than first is my favorite one. Not too bulky but still nice.
This is probably the best looking S23 ultra case by far. Any idea if the monarch pro has a stronger magnet?
The sides does not lip is a conpromise for people like me who uses google gestures i guess. I think it would not be so comfortable to swipe in the corners with case lips...
@@amirprog Valid point. Thank you
You didn't check how fits mostly on the buttons area if it's a loose in that area? Or flimsy
Which one gives the best grip?
How did you get the 3 phones you charged to exactly 39% battery lvl
I cannot find a nice looking case that doesn't look plain for the s23 ultra. The metropolis seems nice, but not $65 nice.
I have the monarch pro and it's NOT a $100 case. It's far from it. I honestly regret buying it. Raised lip around the screen is minimal as well,
And to add to that, my pyro case stopped my S pen working properly!
Will these cases fit with the camera lens protectors
I have the Carbon Fibre one that was shown and it fits fine with the ESR camera lens protector. Just gotta be careful when removing your case because it is quite a snug fit
I have the same setup as LAMotorWorks plus a three other UAG cases. The ESR lens protectors work just fine.
Number one is definitely the carbon fiber case and then I like the monarch Pro case with MagSafe
Thanks for your review! Does the Plyo Pro push up a curved screen protector, e.g. Whitestone Dome?
I don't have the Plyo however i just got myself the Monarch Pro 2 days ago and no problems at all in combination with the Whitestone Dome
what is your favorite film this list? thank you
The UAG Monarch Carbon Fiber just looked too good to ignore. Have it ordered. Thanks for the video. Didn't want any damn magsafe on my phone case either. Could potentially mess up my swiss mechanical wrist watch.

why not measure case weigh.. these look heavy
Does nfc work on magsafe case. Samsung pay is a important unique feature this phone has
It does
Does this fit with camera lense protector?
?
Yes it does.
Which is the slimmest?
no problems with spen?
None.
What about actual drop test? I really don't trust "drop tested up to". I want to see real world drop test recorded on camera. So far I saw you threw casetify and limitless 5.0 and phone survived.
If they don't do a drop test theyre not comfortable doing that , simple. You can buy one yourself and make a video of you doing a drop test
@@oc3144 doesn't matter. I won't buy expensive case that doesn't want to stand by its cases. He threw casetify easily because casetify stands by its cases. What about UAG?

Where i can find Monarch pro case in india
Amazon
The UAG Monarch Pro is the one ... Hands down
Price kills it for me will never spend that much on a case monarch pro
@@cs-ge5kx I was able to get it half off through Verizon. They normally do that when a new model launches. Funny thing is I don't have Verizon, I just take advantage of their sales on accessories
I have only used the carbon fiber monarch pro case on my s23 ultra and i will not be switching anytime soon!
why don't you say that the bottom of the case is very soft, it bends under the finger, in this class of cases, in my opinion, it is unacceptable, cheaper cases are stiffer, every time we pull the phone out, we grab the soft one and stretch it ..
Monarch Pro. Glad im not buying it. The side lip is not protecting the screen from cut in half if get dropped.
Neither all of them and all other case brands. since side lip protection obstructs gesture navigation.
Plus, people don't seem to understand physics. The raised upper and bottom lip will keep it raised the same if it was all away around the phone. Lol
@@robo9439 I found out twice that you are wrong :(
Is the carbon fibre real carbon fibre?
Yes, it's real carbon. I have the kevlar version myself, with the red accents.
It's Kevlar from Dupont

hi, can either case in the video fits for s22 ultra?
All the cases from all manufacturers are the same. They cover the back, but not the front. They really should be paired with a screen protector.
I hate the clear cases, because they look cheap from the front and sides. If clear cases had colored edges like black, then they would look a lot better from the front and sides.

Agreed, I splurged with some gifted Amazon points and got the Monach Pro. It is good, but not $100 good.
