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

[hand-filer]

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.

I actually didn't know about this until recently i saw this video of JerryRigEverything
Carbon fiber is durable but it acts as a insulator and actually blocks radio signals meaning less reception

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).

I'll just stick with Otterbox Defender, I know they work!

Otterbox are grossly overpriced. The injection mold tooling looks like 1970's technology and consequently so does the product.

You sound like a sales rep for Caseborne! I've used Otterbox Defender on just about all my phones and have NEVER had a broken phone or screen EVER! Otterbox didn't even start business until 1998!

Otterbox is first on my list of cases I wouldn't waste money on, followed closely by Caseborne.

Nevermind to each their own

Well okay then!

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!

Call it what you want. It's a paid advertisement in the sticky thread section. A section that should be used for important information, not advertising. I get it though, it's a sneaky way to get around ad blockers.

I think you got the wrong thread, this is about cases not cameras

Oops

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.

The foam backing imprinting the back of the phone. I agree, nothingburger. Anyone that says otherwise needs to learn how to clean their phones.

As for the difficulty of removing the case. Yes, I agree that it can be difficult, however, most people that go for a Rugged Case are not prone to removing the phones.

Trick to getting your phone out of this case is to start in the Lower Right corner of the case. You will see a slight inner bevel there and that makes getting it loose initially easier than anywhere else. Once you have that separated from the top frame, just run your finger up the right side to "break away" the outer case from the inner frame and it just comes out.

Hope that helps!

Yeah I noticed the cutout and I use it but it's still a challenge. I have taken to using an old gift card to help pry it off lol.

Here are my case & screen protector. The VEGO case & Gatatol curved screen protector work excellent together with NO lift of screen protector. FPS works EVERY time with no problems. Like that the case has a sliding cover for the camera. Was hesitant to use liquid to apply screen protector but the installation was easy & flawless (have one tiny bubble on side but that was my fault) & looked up the removal process which looks fairly easy.

That case looks like something the "Borg" would generate!
People gotta know who the Borg are...right?

Overall, I love this case. I've had my 23U for 10 days. Only two things for comment: 1) the kick stand is weird for holding - probably because I'm used to the 5 year old popsocket from my Note10+. 2) I wish this had a sliding lens cover.
