They had a breakup. She was a hot friend from crossfit class he got to help with videos even though he's married with a kid. Things got strange when he rented a separate house away from the wife so he could do late night videos alone with Val and get her drunk, do whatever... She moved to Ecuador with her kids and sings in a band now.
can't believe you didn't mention the magsafe strength on them all. it's been the main buying point for me when buying a case since the 12pro max when it came in.
I have a spigen tough armor for my s20 fe and it has stayed tough and super tight the whole time. Like its brand new. Ive been following this channel since 2011 and this is the longest lasting case i think ive ever had
I got the Ultra Hybrid for the 14 pro max. The button look doesn’t bother me and the MagSafe is strong enough for the car mount. What impressed me was the drops I’ve taken with it it.
Thanks for always providing the real feedback, as many of those things impact our decisions and devices. Flimsy sides and all. Lost a screen to a drop with a flimsy sided case. Been sticking with the Speck Presidio Grip, just miss the TPU grips.....
Hi, About the Optic Armor: Have you ever thought about having your phone in the windshield and let the strong sun to play with your lenses on a longer trip? My Note 20 died because of that. The soldering on the motherboard melted. Just a hint why I believe every phone's rear lenses should be protected like that, or any non-transparent cover.
Perfect timing. I’m sitting on the fence when it comes to their 360. 😂 I got into the Otterbox brand because of your reviews way back in the iPhone 5 days. Otterbox does make them like they used to so I’m looking else where for my iPhone 14 Pro. I saw that Amazon price too 😂
Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? Monty is a good boy! I also do like the spigen silicone case, but wish it had more protection. Magbak with that loop, on the wallet, is awesome.
It’s so sad how expensive Spigen IPhone cases have gotten, I remember when almost all of them (at least on Amazon) were under $20 bucks for the iPhones, so sad.
used the tough armor, really liked it, too bad i accidently sat on my phone when the phone holder was open, now its broken... good thing i can take it out but still, imo its not needed at all, other then fidgeting with it i dont use it
Great video and super informative! Been using the tough armour for years on my previous google phones and now my iPhone . Not a huge fan of the logo cut out at the back but overall great case !
I think you got the „lensprotection“ case wrong. It is for people who have concerns that the phone is getting hacked and the camera activated. But if there is a manuel cover ….
I also find that the tough armor cannot hole up on my ESR Halo Lock charger when I turn it horizontally!! Very frustrating!! Thanks again for the reviews and as always, please give Monty a big hug❤️
I just bought the Spigen wallet attachment and I’m soooo disappointed that it doesn’t work right with the 14 Pro Max model. It tips over immediately when you try to use the stand
Based on your videos I bought a used Magbak case with wallet for my iPhone 14 pro. I love it for one complaint and that is a smooth surface is no good for using the kickstand ability.
The camera lens protector protects your camera from getting fingerprints so yes it is useful. I love the camera lens cover on my Tech21 Evo Max because I never smudge up my camera anymore, every other case I also ended up getting fingerprints on the camera and always had to clean it, the lens protector eliminates that problem.
@@JHEntertainment98 Oh okay. I thought you were talking about those glass camera lens protectors that come with some of the newer screen protectors. I've talked to a few people and they say that they're not that great. Apparently they can cause problems with your phone case depending on which case you're using and one friend told me that he ended up removing the camera protector from his iPhone 13 because of fogging up his camera lens during humid weather and other conditions.
I love the tough armor the kickstand works great. Been using it for multiple phones. I hate the cut out logo because Im limited to grip options. The pop sockets don’t hold properly because it can’t be sealed. I need a kickstand case but I also need a grip like a ring or pop socket. What do you think is the best option
Spiegen kickstand red&blk case is superb tactile buttons &proper tight fitting using case for my 13 pro max&S21 ultra both have same case…..I also use rhinoshield nx bumper crush guard case for both phones also thease cases are worth buying I’m dam crazy about cases my cases collection is very big I have 60 plus branded cases ❤
Merry Christmas to you and Monty. One question. What case is the one at 3:34, used for comparison? Really liked the texture on the sides, for a clear case.
Yeah you must get super super unlucky to damage your lenses, even when caseless. And then they'll break, not scratch. Real sapphire or not it definitely doesn't scratch. No iPhone lens ever had a scratch and my Apple Watch looks like new after over 2 years despite having bumped against rocks. Just got the rebel flex btw and love it. Build and fit is excellent, magsafe incredibly strong. Really like the design and hold. Surprised by the quality of the carbon fibre on the back, really solid and smooth texture like on the dell xps laptops.
2:27 I am looking for Cases with Camera Lens as during hikings I drop my phone alot to me Lens is more important than screen, kindly if you having cases with Lens Cover reviews coming up. Will be very thankful to you 😊
Please please please do a comparison on camera protectors. I know a bunch of them mess up the LiDAR or the flash and I’m really curious if there are any that are actually worth using. I would happily donate $25
Love the reviews, i had the optic armour prior to this video and the reason i got it was to prevent sun damage to the camera sensors. My 12 pro max started to have image issues because i left it face down on a sunny day. With that said i dont like how slippery the case feels on my hands.
Good stuff man, I’m using the mag armour on the 12 and it amazes me how much dust collects inside over time. I swap from that to a tough armour (Sans magnet model) or a rhino shield bumper case from time to time.
The reason i have the Optik Armor case is because I'm anal about finger prints on the camera lens. Fingerprints make pictures look worse. I've gotten in the habit of quickly opening it while i open the camera app. I would suggest to Spigen that the cover should be white so flashlight can still shine through.
PLZ HELP ME!!!! Hello, I know you may not see this. But I hope someone will. I have an iPhone 14pro max. I have week hands and drop my phones often. I I spent 100$ on cases and screen protectors. And I still crack them. I have an OtterBox case now. And have already gone threw 3 screen protectors. Is it the case or what I geting. It’s every day use. I drop on my hard wood floors. Never more then waist high I’m only 5ft. I’m desperate for help. I don’t have the money to keep doin this.
Been waiting for this video! I’ve been using the Neo Hybrid in my iPhone for years, including my current 11 XS Max. I just purchased a 14 Pro Max 1TB which is coming early Jan. and have been watching all your accessories videos… [Edit] it’s a shame that their cases aren’t as good as before :(
Miss Val and the banter (and drinks) between them. A partnered présentation gives us two opinions instead of just one 😊
Same
What happened to her?
Following to find out.

My favorite case for years has been the tough armor. It’s never let me down. I’m happy it is protective and has MagSafe
Tbh I agree I've been with spegin cases for the s7 thru iphone x and went for a 13 pro max and yes I decided why not get spegin for like the 6th time
I really like the "I'm a reviewer not an influencer" a lot!
You should do a full Otterbox case line up review
i can’t believe i’ve been watching you since middle school all i gotta say is keep going

Love your high quality reviews! And love your creative direction you are taking now, very fun and engaging. Keep those jokes coming!
Thanks for all the videos you put out, I was just on Amazon looking for a new case for my 14 PM. Happy Holidays!
I would love to see a roundup of budget cases in Spigen / Ringke's price range.
Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? Monty is a good boy!
I also do like the spigen silicone case, but wish it had more protection. Magbak with that loop, on the wallet, is awesome.

Optik Armour is awesome
Love your videos I feel I can trust your experience and opinions for all the latest phones
used the tough armor, really liked it, too bad i accidently sat on my phone when the phone holder was open, now its broken...
good thing i can take it out but still, imo its not needed at all, other then fidgeting with it i dont use it
I love you can do a full case review of one company. Can you do an Otterbox review as well?
Came here to say I subscribed to you at 4:16 in this video. I appreciate your honesty here. Subbed!
Thanks for all the info, keep up the good work
What about a video of the best silicone cases for the iPhone 14?
Great video! Would love to see a video on the otterbox case lineup
Great video and super informative! Been using the tough armour for years on my previous google phones and now my iPhone . Not a huge fan of the logo cut out at the back but overall great case !
Ultra hybrid to me has the best grippy feel, and strong magnets… but I keep going back to my benks case
Would really love a video on iphone 14 pro camera protectors!
Merry Christmas! Calgary represent!
Tough armor for the win! ❤
I think you got the „lensprotection“ case wrong. It is for people who have concerns that the phone is getting hacked and the camera activated. But if there is a manuel cover ….

Hi! Great video thanks! I hate fingerprints at the back of my phones… which one should I get among Mag Armor, Rugged Armor and Tough Armor? Thanks!
Great review! Thank you 😁
I just bought the Spigen wallet attachment and I’m soooo disappointed that it doesn’t work right with the 14 Pro Max model. It tips over immediately when you try to use the stand
Got myself the thought armour. Glad I’m not the only one that thinks they look good. But I would like slightly protruding buttons
I have the silicone fit case on my 14 Pro and it’s awesome. Feels and looks great
Based on your videos I bought a used Magbak case with wallet for my iPhone 14 pro. I love it for one complaint and that is a smooth surface is no good for using the kickstand ability.
Great reviews!
Best video man❤
I love the mag armor

So now you just get fingerprints on the lens protector instead? How does the protector stop you from getting fingerprints on that?
@@DirkMeister it’s more of a lens cap and it has a matte finish, you still have to slide the cover to expose the camera.

Not related to the video but u should try the casetify clear series
When I had a spigen case with MagSafe for my 12 pro max it never stayed on my bell in mount because the magnets were too weak
I love the tough armor the kickstand works great. Been using it for multiple phones. I hate the cut out logo because Im limited to grip options.

Love you r channel! Is Monty Ok?
He looks a little pekid. Anyway you asked what about the CASEKOO cases been seeing ads…
Only case I would go with is ultra hybrid !
Spiegen kickstand red&blk case is superb tactile buttons &proper tight fitting using case for my 13 pro max&S21 ultra both have same case…..I also use rhinoshield nx bumper crush guard case for both phones also thease cases are worth buying I’m dam crazy about cases my cases collection is very big I have 60 plus branded cases ❤
Could you please try Mous? I have been considering to buy a phone case by Mous
I don't like the camera lens protector but the dusts like the grooves so much
Any clear camera lens like ringke for keeping dust away?
We are very ready for you to try the new ohSnap grip. I promise. It is actually a slight upgrade.
Can you do video of magsafe grips (oh snap 3)
@MobileReviewsEh please review RAPTIC cases for iPhone 14 series. Fan from India. Love what you do.
Just ordered a MAG Armour:( I hope I will be able to cancel this before the seller will ship it after Christmas. Thanks for your content!
Merry Christmas to you and Monty.
One question. What case is the one at 3:34, used for comparison?
Really liked the texture on the sides, for a clear case.
Looks like the catalyst influence case
What happened to Val?

What about the Enzo?
spigen used to be dope around the iPhone 6 era. since then they've been really mediocre. I remember spending 35$ for there thick glass screen shields.
Love the reviews, i had the optic armour prior to this video and the reason i got it was to prevent sun damage to the camera sensors.

what about nillkin products?
Good stuff man, I’m using the mag armour on the 12 and it amazes me how much dust collects inside over time. I swap from that to a tough armour (Sans magnet model) or a rhino shield bumper case from time to time.
Spigen is pronounced spee-gan???? I always thought it was pronounced like spy-gen like generation
