- Hey guys, Aron here with 4 the Love of Tech,
and today I have the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 plus.
These phones are absolutely gorgeous.
They feel amazing in your hand.
They look phenomenal.
The screens, they're nothing less than stunning.
But we have to protect our stunning devices.
When you're spending your money on a smart phone,
you are putting like
750,
sometimes up to $1250
into it.
This is not just buying a phone, it's an investment.
It has resale value.
There's a condition that people look for
when they're looking to buy these devices.
So you have to take a moment and think,
"Is my phone protected for the next potential user?"
Or if you're just gonna ride the phone out
until the end of eternity, until the technology is just
so far gone it can't be updated anymore,
well, you're gonna wanna make your phone
last as long as you can.
Either way, it needs a case.
Stick around and find out exactly which case
I feel is the best one for my smart phones.
(upbeat techno music)
Let's take a look at what we actually have today.
Here we have the Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.
This is the ceramic white.
And this is the S10, which is I think blue prism,
I think is what they called it.
But it's a gorgeous color, you can tell, it's not white,
so for them to call it a little bit of blue
is actually an accurate name,
which I was a little surprised about,
'cause I didn't think it was blue.
Here we have the Plasma, the Samsung Galaxy S10 case.
Now this case
used to be
my absolute all-time
favorite case.
I am in love with this.
It is great, it's amazing,
it's clear, you can see through it.
So many great features.
This is the Plyo,
which I once said in the first video I did,
this is my least favorite of all the cases.
I'm here to tell you it has since grown on me.
It is now my favorite case of all times,
and my go-to case for any smart phone in the planet.
This is our Monarch.
This is called (chuckling) premium protection.
As you see, rugged, rugged, premium, rugged.
So this one is a little bit different.
It's a little thicker, it's much bigger of a box.
And we will go over it once we pop it open.
And this is, I think new or new to me,
'cause sometimes if I've never seen it before,
I'm like, "It's brand new!"
It's like, "No Aron, it's been out for like three months.
"This is just the first time you saw it," so, new to me.
This is the Camo Pathfinder, which is pretty cool.
They have a regular Pathfinder, but I went for the Camo
because I wanted to see it.
Now, a big giant shout-out, big giant shout-out to
UAG because some of these cases I bought with my own money,
some of these cases UAG hooked me up.
So I really appreciate it.
I definitely enjoy doing reviews on these cases.
And the reason why is because they're my favorite.
I've been making YouTube videos for a little over a year
and let's just call it year and a half.
But I've been using UAG cases for
probably close to three and a half, four years,
when I first found my first UAG, which was a Plasma,
and that's the reason why I feel like
the Plasma used to be my favorite
because it was my first UAG case ever.
And I tell everybody about it, I wanna spread the news.
"Hey Aron what case should I get, this, this, or this?"
"Well, if you got 40, 50 bucks to spend,
"you get yourself a UAG."
Let's take a look and find out exactly why.
I would like to start here with the Plasma.
Let's move those over right there.
This is the only one that I got for the Samsung Galaxy S10.
Why, well because I don't plan on making
the S10 my main device.
It was mainly more of a review unit.
It may or may not show up in an upcoming-- (guitar strums)
But this thing just fit in there absolutely amazing.
We've got what I like to call the raised edges,
which is absolutely important
when looking at a smart phone case.
And I wanna show you that these edges are raised.
So if you drop your phone,
(phone clatters)
you're not worried.
You're okay and I'm okay, the phone's okay.
That's the most important thing is the phone is okay.
So I have no problem at all chillin' here
and being like, (phone clatters)
"Booya!"
Because I know it's protected.
I believe in the raised edges.
And this, if you can actually see
how deep the camera goes in there,
that's how much protection you're getting
all the way through.
And this is not all plastic on glass.
And that's the other important thing to take note of.
If you look in here, this,
it's basically hollow here, here, here, and here.
So it's holding the phone,
holding, holding, holding, holding, hollow,
and then this gives you major screen protection
for
the
cameras.
'Cause there are little screens on the cameras.
So you need screen protection on your cameras,
or lens protection, whatever you wanna call it.
But this is the Plasma,
the UAG
Plasma,
for the Samsung Galaxy S10.
Let's move on to, this is the Plyo.
Now, I have a confession.
I cheated.
The Plyo is not a complete unboxing.
It's not the first time it's ever been opened.
I've been using it all day yesterday and some of today
because I didn't wanna walk around
with this beautiful phone without a case, that's why.
Put it back in the box for you guys,
and now here I am snitching on myself because,
'cause I want you guys to know
I'm giving you an honest review.
This is my favorite.
This is why, right now, boom, boom, boom.
UAG has spent some time, right?
Three phones ago, this thing was an absolute terror
to get in and out of the phone.
Now it pops in and out easy peasy.
You saw that, it was good.
Again we've got our raised, raised, raised, raised.
Now this one is a little bit of a different design,
because this side here is really raised up,
and this goes in a little bit.
So it's, if we look at the inside,
we'll see that this design is a little different.
It feels the same height all the way around, right?
But the protection happens here and here,
and this protects your phone from absorbing an impact,
because the impact gets absorbed on the sides.
(phone clatters)
See that?
(phone clatters)
See how it wobbles, it does its job.
It goes bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
It's absolutely gorgeous, I love it.
All right, now we're gonna move on to the
Monarch, premium protection.
This thing is what I wanna call a beast.
Oh my God.
How do I even open this?
Oh, down here, okay.
I've got a boo-boo.
So this one, it's more expensive guys.
This is probably definitely in the $49 range.
I'll go ahead and look up these prices and confirm it,
and I'll have Zack put 'em in the videos right here.
Ding, thank you Zack.
Here's the Monarch.
This is like
carbon
fiber
goodness in there, right?
Now I'm not sure if that's real carbon fiber
or if it just looks like it, but it feels pretty hard.
So I think it actually might be carbon fiber,
which is pretty amazing.
Good
job
UAG.
Let's get the phone in there.
And like I said before, they made these so much easier
to get your phones in and out of,
where that's kinda what my gripe was about 'em in the past.
So let's hope this one holds true as well.
Nice, secured, locked in.
Absolutely gorgeous device.
Now you're in a super safe case.
(phone clatters)
Look at this one.
There's actually screws inside.
Here check this out everyone.
There are screws inside
the actual phone case
holding this thing together
because there's so many layers built into it.
Five layers of protection, pretty legit guys.
Five different layers are built into this.
I think maybe they need the screws
to hold those five layers together?
Either way, it looks pretty cool.
So the other thing I love about UAG,
buttons, easy peasy to press.
No issue at all, look at that, beautiful.
Never worry about my cases when they're in UAGs.
I freak out a little bit
when I don't have my phone in a case,
like I did for like a minute yesterday,
and then I was like, "You know what Aron, open up that Plyo,
"put it back in the box for the video," and now here we are.
Here's the Pathfinder SE.
Again, it's gorgeous.
Got the little screw things there,
which, it's kinda making me feel that's not a screw.
Maybe this isn't a screw too, maybe just,
no you can actually see the screw
all the way through on this one.
So this one is totally a screw.
You can actually see, see the metal down in there?
You can see the screws all the way through in the corners.
So you know they screwed this case together.
This might actually be the one my phone is gonna go in
when I leave the house today.
Here it is, this one it's
probably more of a decoration type of thing,
but it still looks phenomenal.
You can check this out, we've got our raised edges.
I think
Mister Carter, Flossy Carter himself calls it raiseivity,
or something like that, some fun little word.
He always makes fun new words and I love it.
But you can see, impact resistant all the way around,
and it keeps your phone
from taking an impact down the middle.
So that's good.
This is actually called a soft impact-resistant case.
Again. (phone clatters)
This is to show you
(phone clatters)
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared. (phone clatters)
Perfect.
No issues, no problems, no cracks, no scrapes, easy peasy.
A combo between a good phone, good material
and a solid case will leave you protected.
So, here it is.
We're gonna go ahead and take a quick little recap.
We have right here our Pathfinder SE,
which was an amazing device.
We have right here
the Monarch, which I'm kinda going back and forth
about whether or not I'm gonna
rock that case out of the house today,
and then we have the Plyo,
which right now is my all-time favorite,
and last but not least we have the
Plasma, which I am in love with,
which is my only option on that one,
so that one's gonna stay in there for sure.
And of course here, here's my
10sMAX, and of course I've got a UAG case on it already.
So there we go.
I'm all decked out UAG all the way across the board.
These cases are phenomenal.
If you have the money to spend on these cases, I say do it.
It's cheaper than some of the other competitors
that we're not gonna say their name.
Taking a look at the actual device
after all of those drop tests.
We have no damage to the screens, any of the edges,
and also the back of the screen is absolutely gorgeous.
No problems, no issues.
This is a big giant thumbs up.
Thank you UAG.
Namaste.
So there you have it.
We've got some case options.
We've got a couple amazing smart phones.
You have options, but remember, you're a consumer,
and you need to make sure that
you are protecting your phone.
It is a potential investment.
If you're gonna resell your device,
you need to make sure that it's protected for future value.
If you don't resell your phone,
you need to make sure it's protected
to get the longevity out of it that you need.
