I have this and I can say that this case attracts finger oils all throughout. That's manageable though as you can easily wipe it dry no problem. It's a bit slick but not slippery. What's bothering me is the case weight. Damn, this is a heavy boi! With all that magnets at the back, thick silicon outer layer, plus the lexan shielding for the magnets, it easily weighs twice as much as, say, a ringke case. Maybe even more. 😢
I was worried about the weight. Thanks for the info. I was just about to order but decided to watch this video again. I'm gonna continue my search for another case.
I fully believe my magbak case added to the fall damage of my s23 ultra . Completely shattering the screen to the point where it wasn't working anymore. I'm thinking maybe some raised sides would have protected it more
Hey! I used to have a magbak case on my S23 ultra, and eventually, I started having problems with the phone signal. Do you believe it might have the same effect on the S24 ultra?
Hey Forbes, I was waiting for this review from you! I was wondering: 1) Is the back grippy or smooth, I'm afraid it's gonna slide out of my hands. 2) Is there enough room for individual camera lens protectors to fit through the case? Thank you!
1. It's smooth back...using the case now and it can be a little slippery but it's the worst. I think the magnet makes up for it. 2. I just tried the ringke lense covers, and they seem to play nice with this case so far
Have you tried to use the Peak Design Mobile Tripod with the Magbak Cae? i qant to buy the tripod but i'm scared if it will not be that strong and fall while i'm doing a video with it
@ForbesTechReviews are you satisfied with the amount of lip protection on the sides? Do you think I should get this magbak case? Or the spigen tough armor with magsafe?
@@ForbesTechReviews 120% positive! Grip is terrible. Get an Oh Snap ring on a magsafe case with grip and can stick to metal surfaces as well. I blew 60$ on this case for complete trash. The magnets are in the corners and it's so slippery and attracts oil from fingers like a champ

It shouldn't have that affect at all...I never had that problem with the S23 Ultra
What's better the magbak or rokform case
magbak is a better case overall
@@ForbesTechReviews thanks but which case offers the most protection

i have not tried that tripod
Does the wallet block the camera lense?
Yes just a little bit
Bossman does your s24u have cam lense protectors? And will you be planning to review the spigen magsafe slim armor case.
I don't have camera lens protectors. Might have to check out that case
My guy great case review I have a ? Is that case a finger print magnet and smudges ?
Ot can leave some smudges for sure
Last? It's it thicker than the mous case
@ForbesTechReviews are you satisfied with the amount of lip protection on the sides? Do you think I should get this magbak case? Or the spigen tough armor with magsafe?
Terrelle this case is thicker than the Mous case
Yeah I like this case more than the Spigen. Better magnet for sure
Does the NFC still work?
Yes
@ForbesTechReviews Thanks. I saw a reddit post about NFC not working. I was worried about it
I have it and google wallet b3comes a pain in the ass to use
@@alexrubio40 is it harder to detect the NFC?
@nothing5987 yes , you have to fiddle with the phone until the machine detects the nfc sensor
Thanks for the review. I'm still waiting on my Rokform to come in. I'm happy I didn't get this one. Literally drop my phone every day .
Good choice! i might check that case out really soon
Very Nice Forbes !!
I appreciate it man
I almost bought this case until I saw you pull the sides. They look pretty flimsy so I passed.
Thanks for watching
It sucks!
Are you sure about that
