This holiday season I had gotten a few different cases as gifts. I bought this one for myself. It was on sale so I didn’t pay full retail, but it probably is even worth that. It is the best case I’ve had in a long time. I wanted something with carbon fiber as an accent, which it has, but overall the style and functionality is just great. Not too bulky, easy to hold onto, easy to slip into a pocket and significant protection for the phone. Even the raised edges around the camera lenses is just enough to keep them from making contact when placing the phone on its backside. I bought my daughter a UAG after she broke a screen while on vacation this summer, and it has held up great. Highly recommended.

The Monarch case by Urban Armor Gear is a remarkable blend of style, functionality, and protection. This five-layered all-terrain case offers unrivaled durability and safety for your device. From its shock-resistant core to the signature armor frame, top-grain leather or carbon fiber finish, polycarbonate shear plate, to its alloy metal hardware and impact-resistant rubber surround, this case screams quality.
A standout feature is its compatibility with wireless/MagSafe charging, thanks to a built-in magnet module. The case does not interfere with Apple Pay, a thoughtful consideration for users who prioritize functionality.
The Monarch case boasts 25 ft. Drop Protection (7.6 meters), meeting 2X Military Drop-Test Standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6). This offers users peace of mind, knowing their device is well-protected.
The traction grip is a clever addition, ensuring the case is comfortable and secure to handle. The oversized tactile buttons provide a clean, crisp click-feel, making it a pleasure to use.
In terms of aesthetics, you have the choice between top-grain leather or carbon fiber variants, adding a touch of personalization to your device.
In summary, the Monarch case is an excellent choice for those seeking comprehensive protection without compromising style or the functionality of their device. It’s a worthwhile investment for anyone who values their tech.

Scored a deal on this case for only 31.99 open box and I love it. I have always been a clear case fan but since I plan to keep my phone for another year or two, I decided to look for a rugged but minimal case that would fit my needs and this case is comfortable on the hands and has a very nice design on the back. The Kevlar that surrounds the magsafe ring is nice as well.
For the original price tag, I personally would not buy this case because I don't think its worth the price and for the quality, I can find a better case out there for cheaper and be more minimal.

I bought one that is an open box. That was the wrong decision. Not only is the case completely different, but its not even for the right phone model.

Reliable protection, but weak magnets

I’ve had this case for over a year now and I switch off between this case and my leather Apple case. The UAG case is Strong, rugged, and tough case. I take this case mountain biking fairly often and when my phone drops out of my hand or pocket, I have enough trust in the case that it will protect my phone. The best thing I love about this case is that the phone lays flat on a table. I hated that most cases did not allow the iPhone 14 Pro to lay flat but the small protruding corners are a nice touch.
The only problem I have with this case is that the MagSafe magnets are not strong enough. I will have trouble recommending this case if you use MagSafe chargers and accessories often and are reliant on MagSafe.
In general, for stationary MagSafe charging, the case does fine, but don’t expect it to hold on well to a MagSafe car mount, battery pack, or wallet. The case overall is a wonderful case that isn’t too bulky, lays flat, is tough, and will protect your phone. It is great for those who work or have hobbies that require a rugged case and the case in general is a good daily driver for all lifestyles.

The Kevlar is only a tiny decoration
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have used several generations of this case, but decided to disect the iPhone 14 version before buying one for my iPhone 15 pro max. UAG advertises it is 5 layers, including a layer of kevlar.
After disassembling, I found the kevlar is just a narrow ring of material used as a decoration and is not used over the surface of the case for any finctional purpose. Note that UAG charges a premium for the cases with kevlar and aramid fiber, but they don't serve any functional benefit.
Also I found just two layers, as can be seen in the attached images showing how the bumps are glued to the back of the case.
I still like the appearance of the case, but question it's effectiveness and the company's claims.

I have no idea why a plastic phone case now costs this much, but I needed a case in a hurry that could handle my line of work as a contractor and it was on the shelf. I find it bulky and slippery. The only thing saving it being the grooves on the back provide a place for your fingers to try to hang on to. It doesn’t work on my magnetic vent clip mount, which is very frustrating since I don’t have room for another style mount to fit there. I wouldn’t by this again for this much money.

Honest review, weak magnets

The One main weak point for me is the MagSafe functionality, unfortunately its a weak magnetic grab which won’t fall off but there’s less confidence to it being secure, whether your in the car on the go or at the office. It’s a Great case with superior protection without the bulkiness of other cases, and it does have a nice aesthetic look it. I returned it after 2 weeks of use could not justify the price for weak magnets. If your searching for the best #1 protecting case with the strongest MagSafe magnets to date, then go with a Phone Rebel case you won’t regret it, by far hands down the best case I’ve ever used without being bulky

Case is great for protection worth the price if you can get it on sale. Full price the case is overpriced. Part of the case plastic popped off after taking the case off about 10 times. Simple super glue fix not expecting that with an expensive case.

When I first heard about this case I had no idea this case would succeed beyond my requirements. Not only did they meet or exceed my expectation it’s a great looking and stylish case. Its sleekness provides a protection most cases this thin can’t. When they designed this case not only were they think of style but a major factor protection. It provides protection like some of the more bulkier cases which are not so appealing.

Switched to this case from an Apple case that was slippery and cracked on its first small fall. This one is comfortable and VERY protective. Great choice. I have a lot of confidence in it.
