Just got my UAG Monarch in from Best Buy. It's my first UAG case and I really like it, great protection and not as big as a Defender case. The buttons work better than any case I've ever tried. It fits well with the Whitestone Dome Glass also.

I wanted that one but last I checked it was still in preorder mode on Best Buy and Tmobile didn't carry it. I went into Tmobile today and got the Defender along with an extra cord, a braided Belkin 4Ft.

The Defender is a good case I've been using one waiting on the UAG to become available.
 
This is the combo I was hoping for... UAG Monarch + Whitestone Dome glass. I have this case already, but was told it wasn't compatible with the Dome glass by a reviewer?

It works fine on mine, it's a close fit but I have pushed on the corners to test it out and it hasn't lifted the screen protector at all. Knock on wood LOL. I have the Samsung rugged case with kickstand also and that case is perfect with the Dome glass.

Great to hear! Thanks for elaborating. I'll give it a chance! ?????? I have both the Monarch and Plasma to try.

Did you preorder this from Best buy or is it in stock at your local store? I really want the Monarch red one.

I had pre ordered it from the UaG site but it was taking forever to ship. I just keep checking the Best buy web site every day to see if it was in stock. I got lucky one day I checked and ordered it and canceled the order at UaG.
 
I will keep checking Our Best Buy sites to local stores online it's showing out of stock I wonder if certain stores might have a couple they seem to be selling out awfully fast

I don't think the stores have gotten any in stock yet I couldn't find any when I was looking. I just checked the UaG site and it's back to a two week wait. I can see why they sell so fast, this is the best looking case I've ever had. The only thing that would make it better would be a deep blue LOL but the red is great too. Good luck I hope you can find one soon.

They have a deep blue one but it's the Plasma series uag. I really like how this Crimson looks
 
You can pick up the UAG Monarch case at most Verizon Retailer stores
(Not Verizon Corporate stores).

I purchased the black Monarch there a week or so ago.
 
Best Buy usually doesn't carry UAG in the stores. I'd be interested in this if it wasn't for the price since I already paid $60 for the Defender lol. I don't want to spend another $50 plus on cases again.

I usually don't spend anywhere close to this much for cases LOL but this phone is something else

The Monarch case is $60 and it probably cost $5 or $6 to produce including labor, packaging, etc. at the most.

The cheaper cases I see on Alibaba for like $1.25 a piece if you buy 50 of them.

The markup on these cases are insane. Ones like the Unicorn Beetle probably cost just over a buck to make. Almost all the cases are made in China now on cheap labor. Some made in Mexico.
 
I just got my Monarch case today as well and I'm thrilled with it. The silly thing was I set it up to deliver to my work because I wasn't expecting to get it until next week however it said out for delivery today Saturday my work business is closed so I drove 48 miles to the post office by my work and picked it up. LOL

Nice case, don't know if it was worth a 48 mile drive though.
 
I've already tested this case twice today once at the grocery store when I accidentally dropped it it hit a metal beam then slid to the tile floor. The second time was when I had to jump out of the car quickly and the phone fell out of my pocket onto the gravel parking area I was at. Both times no phone damage and no case damage whatsoever.
