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.

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.

This cause was my favorite case until it started falling apart in 3 months.

Literally broke the first time I tried to take it off

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.

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.

Fits perfect and looks really good, would recomend buying on sale, the price is a bit steep for a phone case. But i do love this phone case

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.

Great product. Absolutely one of the best phone cases I’ve ever used and purchased. A+++ solid protection with easy wireless charging. Best as it was also on sale. Would definitely buy again for my family also.

Very dissatisfied with this product. I bought it when it came out at full price and have found problem after problem with it since I got it. Complete rip off. First off they claim that it’s MagSafe compatible which it really isn’t if the magnet is so weak that you can’t possibly affix a single MagSafe product to it without it falling off! They charge an extra premium for it being supposedly having a layer of Kevlar, which it 10 certainly does not - it only has a tiny strip of Kevlar Glued on for decoration around the “magsafe” ring that doesn’t even work. And then, to top it all off, I found out that all the little sections of it are just glued together to look cool because today I just tried to take the phone case off the phone to clean it and the entire case just fell apart into several pieces with almost no force being put on it so I certainly don’t believe it was standard 25 foot drop either. So because of my experience, I have to conclude that all three of the main purchasing points that influence me to spend $100 on a phone case we’re all lies. I will never buy a product from urban armor gear again. GARBAGE! DON’T BUY IT EVEN IF IT’S ON SALE.

Sleek and slim, yet sturdy protection. Feels great in the hand and the 25ft drip rating is amazing.

Rugged case that feels solid, the MagSafe ring a little weak but still solid

Fantastic case, very protective and easy to hold on to

The case works as it’s supposed to, but is not the best for the price that normally is. I bough in a promotion

UAG crafted a masterpiece with this case. It feels very nice on the hand, the phone is very tightly fitted and has great grip. The Kevlar magsafe strip is a nice addition to the case that I haven't personally used yet but plan on using in the near future. This is the first time I purchase an UAG case and it has not disapointed so far.

One of the best case I like…. Everything is tough and solid… easy to hold….

I did get this case on clearance so it does affect my overall experience. Regardless the case is excellent and looks really good. At full price the case would still be excellent but I don't think I would spend that much on a case.

Has a great feel and very durable. Looks great on my new phone as well.

This case is 100% worth the money. Ive been searching for a good case thats rugged but also looks and feels great. Ive dropped my phone once with this case on tile and it didn’t break. Im sold on this brand now.

I love UA cases and recommend them to anyone looking for a sturdy case. Its not as bulky as OtterBox. Yes, the magsafe works (at least on a magsafe accessories like charging stand and wallets).
