I previously owned iPhone XS Max with 512 GB memory, until I finally had to upgrade just a month ago. I used the Monarch Case on that phone as well during the whole time I owned it and the case saved that phone so many times. To be more exact this was the Monarch case with the solid piece of metal reinforcing the back of the case. This is the reason why I decided to purchase this new case as well and was willing to spend a bit extra this time. This new case and phone combo feels super light weight compared to my old phone and case combo. The case fits very comfortably in my hand and is not slippery at all, even when out fly fishing. I have yet to drop this phone yet, knock on wood. But I am sure that when I do eventually drop this phone, that this case will save it. I also wanted to add that the first UAG case I ever owned was a Plasma one for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Curved model, which was the time I decided to try Android after my iPhone 6 Plus bent on me multiple times. That phone was very hard to handle due to its shape but once I slapped the UAG plasma case on it, that issue disappeared. I also dropped that phone multiple times as well and I also had my biggest scare from dropping a phone. It saved my that Samsung phone so many times, but this one time that phone happened to land on the bottom right hand front corner. The front screen looked like it shattered but thank god I had a screen protector installed on that phone. Getting a good tempered glass screen protector for that Samsung phone that fit with a protective case as well was extremely hard but UAG had everything I needed back then. On top of that their customer service was too notch and unfortunately I wrote to them complaining about scuff marks on the plasma cases I had received and they went ahead and sent me so many replacements of all different colours. I will share a picture of all the cases I was sent in regards to that Samsung phone. I will also share a picture of the old UAG case I used on my last phone the iPhone XS Max. I also want to add that I have purchased two cases for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. The first was this limited edition case and the second was the same case I had on my previous phone but updated to fit this newer phone. I wanted to have the extra back case protection for certain usages that will require it. With that all said, UAG has been an extremely reliable phone case company to work with. I find that their products are all pretty good and that their customer service goes above and beyond what I would have expected. I will most likely only have to use these two cases I have purchased for this new 1 TB phone, since one UAG case lasted over five years on my last iPhone. But like I said previously, I wanted the two cases for this phone due to the weakness I have heard about with the back glass/titanium with the 15 PRO Max models. The case with the metal backing I feel would be the better case for when I am being extremely rough with myself and equipment. I do not regret this purchase and I have been using this for close to a month straight now. I hope these two cases will last me until the phone either dies like my last one or it is no longer supported by Apple. I also want to mention that I also purchased a Apple Watch Ultra 2 Strap, a IPods 2 nd Gen case, and two screen protectors for the ultra 2 as well because I know that UAG is a dependable company. I also want to mention the only bad part about this case that I seen one or two others mention. The issue is with the material that covers the MagSafe area on the back of the case. I have noticed that the material might be a sticker because I have had to push it down multiple times now to make sure that it doesn’t lift completely off the case. Which is kind of bothersome considering how much this case cost me. But if that material does completely fall off and there is just more forged carbon fiber material underneath than I actually think that the case will look much better with that material gone. So my only complaint overall is with the high cost of this case and the material on the back of the case that covers the MagSafe area seems to be a cheap sticker/adhesive material that appears to be slowly but surely lifting off the case. I will continue he to keep pushing it down and as I just mentioned previously, if it does completely fall off and I notice that there is just more forged carbon fiber located underneath, that I will be even happier with the product. To be honest, if it is all carbon fiber under there anyway, there really should not be anything there covering that beautiful material up. The photos I included are in this order. First is the second iPhone 15 Pro Max Case that I bought. Second is the iPhone XS Max case that I had for my last phone that worked so well I decided to get another. Third is a picture of all the replacement plasma cases they sent me in order to make me happy, because they were all arriving scuffed up. I eventually had to say that it must be shipping g that is doing it, because as you can see from how many they sent me, they tried their absolute best. If anything they went above and beyond what I expected and they never asked for me to send anything back. The fourth and last photo is of the other items I purchased from UAG to go with my new iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and iPods. Cheers all!!! P.S. I have huge hands and sausage fingers that makes texting out such long messages as the one above rather painful for me. So I will not be returning to what I have written above to proofread and correct my spelling and grammatical errors. With that said I hope that the mistakes that are present do not interfere with your ability to understand the general gist of what I am trying to say. 😅

good phone case

First off big shout out to UAG for their customer service. I had a small issue and they resolved it by sending me a replacement case covered under warranty. This case is expensive but also has everything. Protection, grip and great MagSafe strength. I haven’t had a case from UAG in years and I should’ve purchased sooner.

I have been buying UAG cases since the iPhone 6 and my God are they great! Never had an issue and all of my devices are in pristine shape, especially since Apple switched to glass. Even tried using one of Apple's slim cases with the 12 and it ruined the edges around the phone, switched back and was solid.
