IS IT REALLY WORTH $80!? iPhone 14 Pro Max UAG Monarch Pro!

The UAG Monarch Pro is an expensive case offering 25ft of drop protection. Does the premium cost of this case match up to its quality?!

That honeycomb on the side looks like it will help a lot with holding.

Got this for my 13 pro max,, love this case, I don’t use MagSafe so ain’t bothered, the sides aren’t lose at all. Got rid of my otterbox XT for this case, the XT well slippery and hardly any camera protection,

I have that same case for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I always end up going back to my white UAG pathfinder case because it feels so much better in the hand.

Yeah that’s white pathfinder is pretty smooth.

Flimsy sides: maybe to help with tactile response of the buttons?

[@TongueJedi]

Any improvements for the 15 especially MagSafe strength?

[@randyjose7466]

Tee, I appreciate your honesty when it comes to this case! I'm HYPER critical on cases that area $59+, and that's why it's hard for me to recommend/buy cases such as Casetify. However, at least with Casetfiy you're getting: awesome fit, really strong magnets for MagSafe, premium materials and protection, with customization opportunities. Because of that, I can see why people buy cases that expensive. UAG has to do better at that price point!

[@TechnicallyTee]

Yeah and this case is actually $100! I didn’t realize the Kevlar models are more expensive than without the Kevlar.

Great review man! I feel the same way about my UAG Monarch Pro case for my iPhone 14 pro. The side fit and MagSafe are terrible. I do not trust the MagSafe strength with my car mount one bit. I’ve been trying out different cases but I keep finding myself going back to my symmetry plus!!

[@JsinJzone]

problem with the UAG monarch is its too sharp on the inside, it scratched my iphone, sharp edges of the plasticy mateerial inside, they shouldve put foam cushions like spigen rugged armor did. this is a expensive case yet they didnt do anything to protect the inside part of the case for the phone to be well protected from scratches

[@pavkata889]

Man, that was a great and honest review. I don't like UAG as they get lots of dust underneaths which scratches the corners of the phone beause of the friction, but like their look. Currently searching for case for my new S23 Ultra and probably will try Supcase UB Pro this time.

[@pavkata889]

@Hewhoremains I've tried Supcase but it is huge so I went with Spigen Though Armour

[@mick2246]

Hey TeckTee my man ,, Please do a review on that new magsafe cases which the magsafe ring bends down as a stand ,,,now they go from 10$ ebay to 80$ amazon ,,,please do a comparison on them ,, like Torras case ,,Upro ostand case ,,vanmass case , That is defenatly the new trend thats stayin

[@kobecaldwell961]

Case was 40 on clearance at Best Buy copped it cause I love the look. However I know there are better options

[@devilefan]

I've done a couple of case reviews on my own channel and I've stated that while some of these cases are rather pricey, you have to look at it from your phone perspective, and what I mean by that is, How much did you spend on your phone? And the typical answer will be $1000 or more, to spend $80 or even $100 on a case is worth it if it does what it says.... because at the end of the day, even if the case breaks, but your phone is still perfect. Then I would much rather shell out another $100 then to have to buy a new phone for another $1000 or more that's how I look at it

[@santijr007]

I’m still rocking my monarch for 13 pro max

[@Echo.k]

I have this case and its magsafe is really bad since I like using a grip like rhino shield grip max. The case is also not very comfy to hold since it's bulky and Its fit is also not the best so I was extremely disappointed. I used to buy the monarch for my previous phones(galaxy 20, and ultra 21) but the quality went downhill imo or maybe it's this one specifically for iphone 14PM.

[@Jens_Roadster]

Hey TechnicallyTee, will you get the S23 Ultra?

[@2011SiD]

I love that case too but the glossy back is not for me, I wish they introduced a matte version

[@marymadigan9707]

Nice review Tee but too expensive for what it is especially the sides and the MagSafe magnets very poor thanks again 👏😎🇮🇪

[@ParastinaGel]

So what i’ve questioned myself the whole time: do you prefer the pro max vs the pro? And if so why? Maybe worth a video? Im asking bcs all of your vids are based on the pro max and myself got the pro atm but doubting to switch to the max

[@CMiY0]

I’ve a iPhone 14 Pro and my sister an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s dependent on what you want. I have massive hands that are about the size of NFL wide receivers and yet that phone is way too big for me to comfortably use. Owning an iPhone 12 Pro Max for like 2 years I’ve come to hate that I can’t comfortably use the phone one handed so I went with 14 Pro and I haven’t regretted it one bit. Battery life is same as 12 Pro Max and I never worry about it when I charge it every night. It depends what you value, comfort or more screen for viewing/gaming & larger battery.

[@John_R_Jackson_III]

I mean the pro max is the cream of the crop if you want me to be honest with you. There’s a reason almost all content creators use the 14 pro max in all their videos, it’s the highest tier iPhone you can buy.

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

UAG is really pricing their cases high. I know they worth it but I would buy them retail as it is a lot of money to shell out for a case that adds bulk. Just my opinion though.

[@TechnicallyTee]

O yeah it’s a lot for sure and still has some things it needs cleaned up on the case.

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

@@TechnicallyTee yep. My wife is using a plasma case on my her android phone and the fit is kinda snug. I’m thinking that due to materials getting expensive nowadays, UAG opted to use a different one this time for cost cutting so they can price their cases on the not so expensive tier.

[@g8xionu]

Agree with the sides man

[@TechnicallyTee]

Yeah just need to be cleaned up a little and should be more stiff.

[@I_am_kxng_rod]

I have the Monarch Carbon for my 14 Pro Max. I’ve dropped this phone a few times & the case has done well with holding up. I will say the lack of the sides being sturdy definitely made me feel leery with the phone, but the case has not failed me yet. I agree, $75-$80 for this case is crazy, but it has done its just so far.

[@alexa9771]

and what about scratches on the back of the case just using magsafe?

[@I_am_kxng_rod]

[@timk4861]

That price is crazy. Especially if you consider that you can have a Phone Rebel case for half the money.

[@TechnicallyTee]

Yeah it’s some great cases out there for half the money for sure.

[@BlueFlames26]

Here’s how I see it when comes to the UAG Monarch Pro case. The case itself has a nice design looks sharp and good amount raise for the front screen & camera for protection. Far as protection goes, if your buying this case solely for drop protection, then your not going to be disappointed this case does it’s job very well. However, if your buying the case because your a MagSafe freak then your going to be very disappointed. The MagSafe for the Monarch Pro is pretty much trash cause of weak magnets. Is the UAG Monarch Proworth buying overall? Yes and No. Yes it’s worth buying for the drop protection, but again if your buying for MagSafe then no it’s not worth the price your paying for, especially since it’s suppose be primarily a MagSafe case.

[@bgtechlife]

[@TechnicallyTee]

Yeah the MagSafe has to get a little stronger for sure.

[@JHEntertainment98]

I use to love UAG but their quality has gone down bad. The Monarch Pro is overpriced, the MagSafe feature in the case is poorly design and MagSafe accessories (minus the charging puck) have a very weak connection to it, the case doesn’t have a very tight fit and the edges of the case have too much give. It’s really terrible.

[@socheatcheam9980]

the biggest problem with this case is magsafe charging doesn't work.
