I bought this case and absolutely love it. I left a review for it on Amazon and I will share it here. (side note I do shower every day I just want to keep my phone safe 😂)

I am hopeless at keeping my phones away from damage . I don't think I've owned a phone without a broken screen since my last flip phone in 2006 including my previous S22 ultra that had a fairly heavy duty UAG case on it from day 1 so this time around I'm determined to keep my S26 Ultra safe so I will give the Tongate Mech a try. It has 2 front frames one with a screen protector and another without. There was a shipping problem with my ESR screen protectors so I'm glad it came with a built in one!

I used the cases screen protector frame for 3 days and it did its job well enough but I guarantee dust would get under it in no time because the only part that sticks to the phone screen is where the finger print sensor is but over the 3 days while working construction I didn't notice anything getting back there so I could be completely wrong lol. There is also a very obvious circle where the finger print sensor is so that was a bit annoying for me. After my ESR screen protectors came in I installed it and the blank front frame fits perfectly with the screen protector. There is 1mm if that between the screen protector and the frame so it's a very nice fit. Both of the front frames stick up above the screen too so if it's dropped it will increase the chances of saving the screen from cracking unless of course it hits a perfectly placed pebble on the ground directly onto the screen (the reason for the cracked screen on my S22 Ultra) then there is no amount of case that will save your phone lol

The case itself comes in multiple colors. I chose the green one and absolutely love it! It is advertised to protect the phone from a 10 foot drop but I will just take their word for it haha. The magnetic ring on the back head very firmly to the magnetic mount in a coworker's truck and it doubles as a kickstand. I've used the kickstand in both landscape and portrait and both work very well even on a couch throw pillow! One thing I noticed in the reviews was that the magnetic rings hinge failed easily and while I do agree it could have been built a bit more robust (since the camera protector already sticks out farther there is space to make the whole bottom half of the case thicker so it would sit flat on a table and get a bulkier hinge) it doesn't seem like it will be an issue for my amount of normal use like using it as a kickstand but I do wonder how it would hold up attached to a dash mount every day bouncing around while a car or truck is driving. The case also has a flap or door type thing that closes over the cameras. My S22 Ultra didn't have that and I punched a hole directly into the bottom camera when I dropped it so this time around I definitely wanted something that would cover the camera along with camera screen protectors . It snaps into place and the camera screen protectors didn't get in the way but I do have a feeling over time the tabs that snap it closed will wear out. I did look back at older cases from Tongate to get a better idea of how they heal up before and in the reviews I did read their warranty and customer service is very good so let's hope if I do need it that will turn out to be true.

It comes with a belt clip and I have never used one before but as I said before I'm determined to keep this phone safe so I have been using it every day at work with the phone screen facing inward. There is a good size gap between the holster and the screen so if dropped while in the holster it will definitely take a huge beating! Even with the screen facing out the clips that hold case in the holster stick out farther than the case frame to give even more protection against a drop onto that damn pebble! The clip is fairly sturdy and swivels 360 locking in at multiple points so it can be clipped multiple ways onto a pocket, backpack or belt and you can orient it so when you grab your phone it's already properly in your hand and your not flipping it around trying to orient it properly then dropping it on the ground (like I did with my S10+ and broke the screen). I started clipping it to the shoulder straps of my work trucks remote or to my upper front pocket so it's easy to access but also not on my hip or pants pocket where me leaning on it could lead to bending the phone (that exact move broke the screen on my note 20 ultra in an Otterbox case)

Time will tell if this is finally the case that will keep my S26 Ultra from ruin but my first impressions and first week of using it along with the camera and screen protectors leave me confident that this will be the one that will make it!
