Galaxy S8+ UAG. Rust or Citron?

[magia21]

Love uag cases but can't decide on which color to get. My phone is the orchard grey. Rust looks like it has more inner rubber protective lining. Thank you for your help.

I have both and like the Rust Pathfinder better than the Plasma. The only thing that touches the back of the Phone with the Plasma are the 5 little fake rubber screws. With the Pathfinder pretty much the whole back of the phone is supported by the interior lining of the case.

The Citron does look sweet on the Orchard Grey phone though.

Here are a couple pictures of my black S8+ in both colors.

Cool. Thank you. Does one feel thicker or more sturdier than the other? Does one scratch easier than the other?

Have had both versions for my Note 5. The plasmas show scratches and the pathfinder looks the same after a year. Got the white one for my s8 plus. Looks like stormtrooper armor.

Yea, the Plasma will show scratches while the Pathfinder won't.

The Monarch is also a good choice.

Think the Monarch is better than the Pathfinder? Which one comes up over the screen to give better screen protection? Especially comes up on the sides for edge screen protection?

The Pathfinder has bigger lips on the top & bottom face of the phone. The Monarch has better side glass protection.

Thank you so much, I will probably go with the Monarch. I'm more concerned with side edge glass protection and camera depth protection. Looks like the Monarch is a thicker case. Thanks again

Are both of the cases basically the same? All the online descriptions read the same. Is it just that the Plasma is clear and the Pathfinder is slicker?

I wish someone local carried these in stock. I'd like to compare these to the Speck Presidio and OtterBox Commuter.

Love the white, have it for my S6, but I found it's too slippery.

I have the citron and it looks great

 

[chickweedblur]

Citron for sure....maybe it looks better in person but the rust looks kinda cheap to me, almost a Lego look or like it was made by Dewalt!

Yes, they both are basically the same (Pathfinder & Plasma). Check Verizon Retailers (not Corporate stores)
most of them carry the UAG cases.

How are these cases. I have the clear one, but not sure on the protection. It seems kind of like cheap plastic that will break easily of dropped.

You still rocking the Monarch?
