URBAN ARMOR GEAR UAG Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Monarch Feather-Light Rugged [Crimson] Military Drop Tested Phone Case

Case feels great. Buttons are nice and crisp to press. Maybe the volume could be a little more prominent, but I think I'm just getting used to Samsung putting buttons in yet another different place again in the last 2 years. Not UAG fault though.Can confirm wireless power share works just fine. Charged my watch about 5 percent just for the test. I've barely used it but when I did need that feature on my phone it was important thenThe ridges in the front and back make me very confident in drop situations. I drop my phone very rarely, very very rarely, but I like the idea that this little tank isn't going to be bothered.The camera bump is sort of huge on this phone but this case makes it feel flush and fits that bump amazingly.I'd suggest this one to anyone, and it looks so awesome.I'm a football coach and I am not afraid of taking the phone onto the field with this case in it

If you are reading this and are undecided on which case to get, this is the best one I've used. I have Supcase unicorn beetle, Spigen ultra hybrid, UAG plasma (very good case), and this, Plyo which is the best out of all 4 listedPros:1. Very Grippy everywhere2. Differentiates between bixby and volume buttons3. Surprisingly slim, even slimmer than the UAG Plasma.4. PERFECT cutouts5. Will not pickup fingerprints or lint from your pocket.6. Very nice feeling on the back7. DOESN'T get the water/wet look on the back like most see through cases8. Good lips on top and bottom to protect the screen. "good raisivity" -Flossy Carter 😉Cons: why aren't you buying this phone case?? This is a one and done case!Seriously I have zero issues with this case. Maybe the only con is the price. $40. But imo it's totally worth it.

This is a very nice case. I can tell it will be durable and probably will last the life of my Note 9. Good fit, easy to install. The price is too high i think, but I paid for it and I'm pleased with the case. My son had UAG case I got for him on his GS7 Edge and it was put through a lot and still looked nice and functioned well. When I saw they had one for my new Note 9, I had to get one.

i found UAG years ago when i was a iphone user. no one i knew had ever used them, and there was not a lot of reviews yet on the internet for them. i gave them a shot back then and to this day, probably 10-12 phones later they have never let me down. i have used them on all my iphones and now android phones. Currently i have the UAG Monarch in Crimson on my Galaxy Note 9. This was my first time coughing up the extra $$ on the monarch series. I've normally always used the plasma line. This thing is a tank of protection for the small size it adds to a phone. i probably try another brand case once or twice a year just to compare and always struggle to hit 2 weeks with others. I have dropped several times, even kicked it trying to catch it with my foot after missing with my hands and never gotten a scratch, dent, or crack. Several of my friends have broken their phone screens with other branded cases and have switched to UAG based on my experience. the case has just enough on the sides that keeps the phone screen off the ground when laying face down. this is a must for me as most screen protectors take away from the nice screens used i phones today. Also hard to find a good screen protector for curved screens. i highly recommend UAG's monarch or plasma line.

This review is for the UAG Plasma Ice Note 9 case. A lot to love about this case.PROTECTION:I think the thing I like the most is how well the front and the back of the phone is protected. The protective edges of the case raises up a good amount over the camera lens and the front screen of the case. Much more so than other cases. The protective corners on this case are particularly good and durable.APPEARANCE:This Plasma Ice colored case looks great with my Cloud Silver Note 9. The Cloud Silver version of the Note 9 is a special color that can only be purchased thru Best Buy or Samsung directly via their website. I get a lot of complements about how good the case looks. In the picture I provided you may be able to notice some small blemishes. These blemishes are only visible close up under bright light. I didn't notice them until I took a picture of my phone. They are not visible otherwise. Keep in mind I have been using this case for 90 days now with fairly heavy usage and it has survived a few drops.GRIP:The phone is easy to hold and is not slippery at all. Plus there are ridges on sides that help.COMPATIBILITY:In addition to this case I also purchased off of Amazon the amFilm Tempered Glass screen protector. This was sold by Tech Matte and it fits PERFECTLY. The protective edges of the case do not encroach on the screen protector. So no fear of the case lifting the screen protector up. Plus the tool which comes with the amFilm protector ensures it is perfectly aligned when placed on your Note 9.In addition the case fits the phone well. It doesn't move around. Snug. And it is not hard to put on.The power / volume buttons are nice and 'clicky' and are very easy to press with minimal effort. Plus they have different texture patterns on them to help you tell one from another by touch alone.CONS:The only one I came across (and other reviewers have stated this too) is that the 5 pads on the back of the phone (that look like black rivets) will sometimes stick to the phone when you remove the case. They are not adhesive in any way but sometimes one or two of them will come off (I guess due to suction). Fortunately I didn't lose any of them and I just had to pop them back in. However I have to say they are very secure in the other direction and I can't see them falling off from the outside of the case.GRADE:Overall I would give this case a rating of 4 stars. Minus 1 star for the rivets falling out once. However I would not let that deter you from purchasing this case. It is very much a 5 star experience for the most part.If I could go back in time 90 days ago I think I would purchase the exact same case again. However perhaps in the Ash color. But I got to say the Plasma ICE color is beautiful with the Could Silver Note 9. Very tough decision on which color to pick. I would recommend either one.
