Accessories The best protection for your Galaxy S23 Ultra from Texas - Caseborne by ArmadilloTek [SPONSORED]

Search This thread
This is not true. I've had UAG cases and they fell apart. I'll never buy another and they're extremely overpriced for their construction.
I had the same issue with UAG and will never buy them again. LOOKS are SECONDARY to the actual PROTECTION the case can provide. There is nothing wrong with the CaseBorne cases and I feel they work, look and feel just fine.

I haven't had any build quality issues with the UAG Monarch. I agree they are overpriced.
It wasn't the Monarch, I don't think that one even existed at the time. I was using the Maverick. They looked cool but just fell apart. The price tags on the new cases make sure that I'll never give them another shot. Not when I can get this case or a Tough Armor around $20.

I just ordered a Tough Armor to tide me over until my dbrand Grip arrives. A great ''bang for your buck'' case.

Jings, look at all the desperate pleas for freebies....biggest thread on here says it all
There is nothing wrong with wanting freebies. If it's offered and you manage to get one, then all good. I actually use this case as my daily driver and I love it. The protection is great, the feel is good and easy to hold. Perfect? No, not for everyone, but it works for me and I don't see the need to use anything else (even though I have a few other cases that I did pay for and feel that this one gives me the most piece of mind).

Be careful both of you @wolfu11 @hand-filer I complained at the beginning and was told it was off topic to complain in the thread by a mod. To complain you have to PM the marketing team on xda. Now I hope I don't get in trouble again.
Nobody's in trouble for reporting a thread -- and in fact, we appreciate that legitimate concerns were voiced. When this was brought to my attention, I worked with Karl to pivot the thread to something that doesn't conflict with Amazon's TOS. We are thankful to our community for pointing this out, and we are also thankful to Karl for being adaptable and willing to change the thread to make sure everything was above board. Thanks all!

The fallacy of all X vs Y comparisons is that they are done in good light under easy conditions. The images below are shot back to back with LMC JavaSabr v53 vs AGC near stock (sharpening lowered a tiny amount). I would be curious if a anyone can reliably tell them apart without looking at the EXIF. I personally can only see slight difference in sharpening and shadow detail, and only if I zoom in as far as the phone let's me do it. If presented with a blind test I would find it very difficult telling them apart. Harsh contrasts or poor lighting is where differences should be benchmarked.
I think you got the wrong thread, this is about cases not cameras

Been using this case over a month now and zero issues. For those worried about it "permanently damaging the device" as was reported earlier, when you remove it, you can see the imprint of the foam backing a little bit but it comes right off, as expected with a glass back. I was able to rub it off with my finger in a matter of seconds, total nothingburger.

My phone has also taken a few spills, some of them face first. Zero damage to the phone or the case.

My only gripe after using it for these past weeks is that it's a pain to remove. You can't just pop it out, you have to remove the outer shell first. For us men who don't have fingernails, this can be very frustrating. Fortunately most people won't have to remove their cases all that often, I just like to try different prepaid carriers which involves switching SIMs more often than most would. It has offered ample protection for my phone and that's what counts.

    (To Mod/admin, We have talked to the marketing guy for this thread, and got approved, please don't delete)

    It is Karl from Caseborne by ArmadilloTek Inc.
    I'm a guy from Texas with a passion for creating the best-rugged phone case. After years of success with our beloved Vanguard case, I took a risk and redesigned it to make it even better. I focused on making it more modern and simple while providing the crazy rugged protection you need. The result? A case that's 20% lighter and thinner but just as tough as ever.

    Despite creating one of the best-rugged cases out there, not many people know about us. It takes a lot of money and marketing skills to break through in this competitive market.
    There are many brands that brag about how durable their cases are, but neither of them shows you anything.
    I don't have money or marketing skills, all I can do is smash my phone in my cases.
    Hopefully, people will give us their business.

    One More Thing

    I understand someone hates to use cases, so I created another brand www.thinborne.com, which is super thin and made of aramid fiber. 0nly 0.03 inches thick and 0.46 oz!
    If you guys know about latercase or Pitaka, yes, we are better!
    As we do a 3-round quality check on every single case, and we are a U.S. small business with families living in Texas!

    After a few hours with the caseborne, it's not a bad case. Solid grip. Glass screen protector sits nicely within the case. Padded corners help with drops. Elevated front edges to help keep screen from touching surfaces if placed screen down. Camera cutout seems large enough fit camera lens protector if you wanted too. kickstand locks nicely in place. Buttons are used with ease.

    Cons:
    It's huge. Probably more cause the phone is huge too. The outer protective rubber is very stiff. Removing the s pen isn't smooth.

    Over all. Not a bad case or design. Changes I would make would be to put a softer outer rubber surround. And add magnetic options.

    Thank you, Karl, for modifying the thread direction -- and thank you to everyone who messaged me.

    We appreciate your great cases, the coupon codes, and your continued support of our community!

    I've used this one before and it leaves a permanent imprint on the glass on the back of your phone. This happened with my s21 Ultra. Once that happened I promised myself I'd never use these cases again. A case should not damage your phone.

    This sticky is as close to spam as it gets. They pulled off the same thing with the S22U release. Offered a few free cases and then let the thread run long after they gave away those cases. That gave false hope to many and free advertising for Caseborne.
    And why is this a sticky? This should be an accessory topic.
    @hand-filer Just for your information. As this thread's title clearly indicates it's a thread of one of the authorised sponsors of this private website; a reason why this thread also has been stuck in this forum.
    If you require more information, please do not hesitate to contact me privately. I'm also happy to bring you in contact with our advertisement department if you intend to promote your products on XDA and to post at prominent locations.
    I sell things on Amazon as well and I just spoke with customer support for sellers and ask them about this even without asking for a review this is against their terms of service If it wasn't for the personal information shared between me and the chat rep I would post the screenshots here saying as much
    @spart0n I'd appreciate if you review the XDA Forum Rules - at the moment with emphasis on rule no. 15 and to refrain from off-topic posts in future. Thanks for your cooperation. I'm going to contact you privately in a few minutes.
