REVIEW – There was once a time when I upgraded my iPhone each year when the new model was released. However, I kept my iPhone 13 Pro Max for 3 years until this year when I finally upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. As most of you already know, I am a DIYer and also have a bike shop in my garage where I work on e-0bikes, e-motorcycles, and gas motorcycles like my latest addition which is a 2024 Honda Rebel ABS SE Cruiser. Dropping my phone numerous times daily when enjoying these passions is par for the course, so a bulletproof phone case is a mandatory phone case. Enter the UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar® iPhone 16 Pro Max Case.
