Customers are delighted by the Monarch Series Case's excellent protection and snug fit, frequently praising its attractive design and secure grip. Many appreciate the case's high quality and the fact that it's compatible with wireless charging. While some find it slightly weighty, the overall positive feedback highlights its value as a protective and stylish phone accessory.
This isn’t just a rubber baby buggy bumper like most cases are, if they even do that much, especially for the iPhone X backside now that it’s glass like the screen. Perhaps you have to be an engineer to truly appreciate that the rigid truss web on the back of the case not only protects the fragile back glass, but distributes any corner or side impact loads thru the screws to the entire polycarbonate plate under the truss web. That’s why it has 2x mil spec rating, 10 yr warranty. The long sides of the case have a tire tread like textured grip, unlike most smooth slippery cases. I couldn’t shake it out of my grip even with a wet hand. There’s enough of a lip to protect the screen if it falls on a flat surface like a floor, the only way to damage the screen is to sit on the screen, hit it or drop it directly on something hard, but a good screen protector and an Assurion insurance plan covers that. The Red webbed case is gorgeous, but Iikely calls too much attention to the phone, I’d probably have bought it anyway but the white was on clearance for 1/2 off retail price, unbeatable deal for an unbeatable case, I can paint over the white if I want, a pearl flip flop would make it a one off, lol. I feel it’s a better investment than the Tech21 case that saved my iPhone 5 from an 8’ fall out of my shirt pocket standing in the bed of my truck onto concrete and then bouncing down the driveway. Hopefully I won’t make that mistake with my new X.

I really wanted a case that wasn’t too bulky and provided great protection. This is that case. I compared it to the Otterbox defender and found this one is slimmer and provides the same protection. This is the case to purchase if you did not spend $200 for Apple care+ The feel is great and I get compliments for the back design, I do recommend buying a screen protector just in case you drop it in a rocky area. I have purposely dropped it 3-5 times and still looks new. Definite recommend.

Picked this case up earlier this week and so far I'm loving this case. It does add a bit of bulk but I don't mind since it gives the phone more grip in my opinion. This color seems to be exclusive to BEST BUY as the UAG website doesn't even show this color. I also have a belkin tempered glass screen protector and the case lip allows me to lay the phone flat on its front and not worry about having to scratch the glass. Anyway if the price doesn't scare you away I recommend this case.
