URBAN ARMOR GEAR UAG Designed for Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus [6.4-inch Screen] Monarch [Crimson] Military Drop Tested Phone Case

Pros: -It hugs the phone tightly and doesn't slip. -It has absolutely no issues or interference in wireless charging. -It's incredibly drop resistant. -The raised top and bottom edges ensure that the screen never makes contact with a any flat surface, so you can safely place it face-down on a table or bench space without worry of scratching the screen, and has been one of the saving qualities that has kept my phone safe in a NUMBER of drops. -The corners have extra padding, another key protector for drops ((I do this a lot...)). Cons: ((So minor that I'm still giving it 5 stars)) -The hole for the AUX jack isn't quite big enough to accommodate every cable, but most will fit fine. -The AUX/USB-C holes are definitely the weakest part, and at the end of its life, it is that spot ((pictured)) where it ultimately failed. This is a combination of me using cables slightly too large, as pointed out above, and not enough material to give the best strength; though that really can't be helped given the more slender design still needing to provide access to the AUX/USB-C. For its price, this case has been outstanding, and took over three years to finally fail. Even when it did? The phone itself is still safe. This is the ideal outcome I want for any phone case I buy. Most drops I've ever put it through were about pocket high, if not a bit higher, and it's been fantastic. Despite how bad the picture looks for how it ultimately failed, I cannot stress enough that I had to abuse this thing a bit for that to finally happen. It is the expected result of three years of continuous, daily use in both a home and every day work environment. 5/5 and thank you for your service! I am going to explore what else UAG might have, as I've come to genuinely trust them as a solid solution to anyone's need for a budget case, and it's been a few years and I don't know if something new is available. If not? I'm buying this one again!

Ive been through about fourteen S10+ cases by now and let me tell you. This is the one that’s on my phone over 80 percent of the time. I’m not gonna lie to you there are some compromises. Let’s start with the obvious. It’s expensive. It’s 40 dollars for a piece of plastic. Second its extremely close to the bottom of my screen protector. Like uncomfortably scary close. It’s been on my phone for a while and has never lifted but keep in mind I have yet to drop it. My screen protector was advertised as skin friendly from Skinomi so if yours isn’t it most likely won’t fit properly in the case. The last of the bad things is the texture. You get used to it after a while but its definitely kinda scaly. Almost like some very soft sandpaper like texture. It almost feels like a cloth instead of a plastic. Now on to the positives. It’s the most unique case on amazon. It’s a love or hate thing. Personally I have never seen a better looking case before but your opinion may vary. If you like the picture then I guarantee you’ll love it. Second its extremely protective. The gray areas are made of some hard flexible gum like material that looks like it can take a beating. The middle clear part is extremely hard and doesn’t scratch easily due to that sandpaper like coating I was talking about. (If you do hit it with something hard though it will mess up the coating and leave an ugly mark though). Finally its grippy and makes the phone easier to hold. Overall its my favorite case but you can evaluate the pros and cons above and I hope it helps you with your purchasing decision.

I purchased this because I had one for my Galaxy S7. That one lasted the life of the phone (4 years until it was just too slow), so I wanted something similar with my S10. I like that it isn't rubbery like OtterBox, so it didn't count to the inside of my pocket when I try to take it out. It's not so slick that it falls out randomly. I really like the new design, it looks and feels very nice. It's very sturdy and professional looking. A little pricier than some competitors, but definitely worth it. It is compatible with the stock screen. I haven't cracked or scuffed it yet, so can't vouch for aftermarket protectors. They should work fine since the protector makes the whole screen accessible.

It's good quality

I come from using Spigen cases, but they didn't come in any colors I wanted so I chose UAG this go around. Here are my thoughts: +The material is made of a thick, bendy plastic. It's firm, but has a little give. I like it. +Wireless charging works (I use a Samsung 15W fast charger stand). +Fits very snug. The phone doesn't move around the case (but let's see if this holds up after a year of use). +It has lips on the top and bottom bezels to protect the screen while face down. But the sides are exposed enough so you can touch/use the curved edges. +Cut outs are spot on. Buttons work perfectly. +It goes a little bit over the stock screen protector to avoid rubbing up against the screen protector edges to loosen it. It's really close, but good attention to detail by UAG. +It has already completely protected by phone from one drop (albeit a pretty small 2 foot drop). -Wireless charging speeds ARE affected on my charger. I get about a 75% charge with the case vs 100% without the case in the same time frame. -The fit is REALLY snug. I have a tough time getting it off to clean my phone that sometimes I worry I'll bend my phone. All in all, I fully recommend the case. The blue color looks premium IMO.

I've been buying UAG cases for quite a while now and they've never disappointed me. The Monarch Black case is no exception. The semi-gloss plastic surrounding the black leather looks both classy and tough. The rubber on the edges makes it easy to grip, although (like others have mentioned) it is a little harder than previous cases I've bought therefor not being as 'gippy' as past models. However that is something I feel is more of a neutral trait rather than negative. The case is slim enough to not feel bulky in pockets and is fairly light. All the holes line up nicely with the speakers, charge port, mic, etc and the edge around the screen doesn't push on/against the screen protector that Samsung installed. I am able to use my wireless charge pad with my phone in this case, which is a big plus for me. Although I have yet to try Wireless PowerShare with another device. 10/10 would buy again.

I first got the UAG Pathfinder case with my iPhone 5, and loved it. Great combination of looks and protection without being bulky. I tried the multi-layer otterbox cases. Awesome protection, but just massive. I tried a snap-on type plastic case, then silicone. Very minimal, but no protection. The UAG Pathfinder isn't the slimmest and doesn't offer the greatest protection. It offers a great compromise. I've dropped my phones a lot, and never had any damage while using the Pathfinder. Loved it with my iPhone 6+, Galaxy S8+ and now the Galaxy S10+. My only gripe is the colors available for the S10+ are blech. I don't mind the slate gray, but orange is my favorite color, which I had for a couple different phones. Now I have a choice of gray, black or gray camo. I don't like the clear ones, so I have my choice of 3 boring options. Give me orange!!!!! Aside from the muted color choices, this is a fantastic case. I think $40 is overpriced, but I paid it....

Bought in 2019 for samsung galaxy s10+; was $44 after tax. Disclaimer- I have not dropped accidently or otherwise higher than hip height. Usually when it dropped it was from knee or hip height onto wood floors. Only dropped once I think on concrete from hip height. I have a few small scratch/Knicks on the glass when it landed on it face. But I have not gotten any cracks (thankfully) or dents. I do tend to try and take of my phones, using them for about 5 years usually before getting a new one. One of the things I really liked about this case, is it is light weight and easy to clean without repurcussions. What I mean is I can use alcohol wipes without the case degrading a lot, getting tacky, or having noticeable discolorations. Was especially helpful during the pandemic. Its a pet peeve of mine ehen cases start to get tacky. The case still has kept a strong tight fit, all the buttons feel good enough and are working well. No weird squishy/mushy tactile mess on the buttons. This isn't really a negative because most all cases will probably do this if you hold it with your pinky as a support, but your pinky starts to hurt. Overall I am really glad I went with this case, and hope they have a similar quality case when I end up with a new phone.
