UAG is One of the leading brands in terms of cases for our iPhone for its design, quality and protection, but it also has more accessories for our Apple products. We have selected the best ones for iPhone and Apple Watch and we show them to you below.
Urban Armor Gear (UAG) has been manufacturing cases for our iPhone since 2012 with a distinctive design and maximum protection as its hallmark. Since its first case for the iPhone 4, the brand has evolved by adapting its cases to new devices and always adding the latest technologies in its manufacture. Based on the design of the "Jerry Cans" (liquid containers for transporting gasoline or water that became popular during World War II), it has a wide catalog of cases that has been expanded year after year with other accessories such as cables, Apple Watch straps, chargers, etc. Below we show you the products that we like the most from its catalog tested on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 but also available for other models.
Monarch Pro MagSafe
It is one of the most iconic cases for several generations of iPhone and the one that offers us the greatest protection. A very robust design and top quality materials such as leather, to which we must add polycarbonate and rubber that form a total of five layers of materials to offer Protection against falls from up to 7,6 meters high. The reinforcements in the corners, the legs on the back that prevent the phone from dancing when placed on any surface, and the hexagonal design of its MagSafe system give it a unique look that protects your phone 360º.
The grip is excellent and the button presses, despite being a very robust case, are really good, with a dedicated button for the action button, no openings in the case that force you to insert your finger to press it. Of course, it has openings for the microphone and speaker, and for the USB-C/Lightning connection that allows you to use all types of cables, not just those with a thin connector. It incorporates MagSafe technology with good magnetic hold and is available in various colors and for all iPhones from model 14 onwards. There are also other models that use carbon fiber instead of leather in their materials. Available for € 79,99 on Amazon (link) prices may vary depending on the material you choose.
Essential Armor
More suited for everyday use or for those who don't want such a rugged case is the Essential Armor. Thinner, lighter, and with a translucent design that's available in blue and pink, this case offers a Great protection against falls, reaching up to 4,6 meters in height. Like the previous model, it is reinforced at the corners and has protection for the camera module and the edge protrudes slightly at the front so you can place your iPhone face down without damaging the screen. It has an inner hexagonal pattern that can be seen from the outside, and the hexagonal design of the MagSafe system gives it a unique look.
Its grip and button press are excellent, and it also allows you to connect any type of USB-C/Lightning cable thanks to a sufficiently wide opening.
