FYI I had the Black Ops case for 2 of my iPhones. 11 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max. No problem with the 11 Pro Max case. Loved it. I got one for my 12 Pro Max, too. Thought it was great until the kickstand broke under normal use and Element would NOT stand behind it. Wouldn’t offer to fix it or to send a new case. THEN my phone dropped with the case on and the supposed military drop protection DID NOT protect my phone. Drop of approximately 3 feet or less and my screen was CRACKED!
Thanks for that comment. I loved the include wallet and wouldn’t mind paying that price since I go for hikes, mountain bike rides, and long walks where I usually just want super protection and a spare $20 USD bill on me. I also plan on keeping my iPhone for 4 years so the cost isn’t a big deal Not being able to survive small drops is a massive con for the price tag. Guess I’ll stick with my UAG that has protected my phones for years throughout brutal drops
I recently tried UAG for my S23 Ultra and so far it has been amazing for protection. I have used MOUS for my iPhone and found it didn’t offer me the protection it was supposed to. Only Rokform and UAG and Casetify have been superbly protective.
@@TechnicallyTeesuch a waste of money but I enjoyed the video and I appreciate you doing this so we don't have to lol, they also have metal cases on Amazon for like 30 bucks, there probably not as nice but I have one for my s22u and it's so solid
I have this black ops case for about three days and I had to return it. It was so rough on my hands. The plastic is ridiculously rough and sharp. It also rattled, and just wasn’t a good case in the hand. It was all out, cheap and garbage to me. I still don’t believe I actually put out $250 for this case. Thank God I got my return money.
I think if you put the phone the other way around in landscape orientation (with the pointy end of the kickstand down), you might get some angle out of it.
I bet it’s bulletproof 😅. What a huge, crazy expensive case. However, you do get a lot with it. A wallet, kickstand, and crazy protection. I just can’t see the use case for something this beefy (and expensive)!
I had the element case black ops for Xs Max and it did not come in the clutch to save my phone , it fell face down while I was on the toilet that's about 15 inches from my hands to the floor & the screen looked as if a car ran over it . Idk if its the weight of the case that contributed to that much damage but whatever you do try not dropping your phone while using this case its just for aesthetics in my opinion.
Hey what’s going on man. Yeah I plan to bring the streams back. I’ve been working so hard on all the artwork for the stream so I’m trying to get it all finalized but regardless, I’ll be back love this upcoming Monday!
I’ve got a $50 phone case that has more time and more space engineering put into the case, it’s survived 15 times from a 50 feet tower never cracked the phone screen or back glass
Great review on this case. I will add the Juggernaut is just as durable and solid but cost way less. Considering the fact you have military units and swat teams using it, I can see buying it before I purchased this case.
It would be nice if Element would’ve included a magsafe backplate to put on the back of the case just in case ppl dont want to use the wallet included. 🤷♂️
Will this case interfere with signal since it’s metal ? Aesthetically, it’s nice looking , but it falls short of a few things , very disappointing given they absurd asking price . Nice review , and thank you
Yeah someone had to do it and I don’t like buying products to do a video and return but idk about this one because I can never see myself using it again.
I’m actually rocking the Andar Aspen right now. I have to update the frosted Rebel because I was changing out the case and the bottom magnet fell off. Looks like that MagSafe issue isn’t completely solved after all.
Hard pass. Pushing up the screen protector, using the wallet (which didn’t lock in?) or have an open back. Not really compatible with MagSafe accessories. I’d expect better for 250.
I’ve been waiting for this review!!! 🤑👎🏾 I got it for the 13 pro max and was a same day return, they would have been for you for the 14 promax, but I see it’s still the same problems.
@@TechnicallyTee Thanks for the Enzo coupon! I have been rocking with the Blue Heaven for a month. It is such a great conversation starter at Starbucks!
I noticed w/ the PLUS attachment, it makes the wallet somewhat smaller in the center of the case whereas w/ the STANDARD size phone attachment, the wallet is seamlessly mended in (compressed). My thing is, w/ the PLUS, does the wallet slide up and down even with the arm bar lock down?
Too limited magsafe options. No thanks. I did like element back in the day when they made bumpers. It was unique at the time but now they look like better material UAG cases.
with this price, they better guarantee at least 40ft drop, and if if break they will buy you the latest and greatest iphone or any phone that you are using
always lowkey loved that brand. absolutely insane and completely superfluous and had never thought about how car magsafe and such probably wouldnt work. i still kinda love it but totally silly even without the price. also always wonder how it would effect reception! gotta think it would be worse. i had one funky metal case like that years ago and i loved it but it def made LTE a bit worse.
Anyone that’s ever been in the military knows “military grade” means nothing lol everything in the Army broke so easily, including our ACH’s (helmets) lol
I feel like this case is a great option for someone who owns a small business and uses an iPhone for square payments or something similar. They want something that they can use while selling or while outdoors working without having to worry about dropping the phone. Plus they can write the case off as a business expense!
I don’t care if it’s damn Rambo no one needs this thing. If someone is buying this thing because of wanting to protect a phone they should just not have a phone.
Sorry for the volume being a little low. It’s been a minute since I’ve cut the cameras on but it will be handled foe the next video 💪🏽💪🏽
TechnicallyTee! The time has come to review the Golden Concept Titanium cases!! Maybe even leather too!
welcome back hoping you and little man feeling better 🤟🏽🖤
It's like buying a mid range phone to cover your phone.
Hahaha facts 😂😂😂😂
Buy this case, so you will not change your phone anytime soon cause you will regret not for the phone only but for the case too
250 dollars already a mid phone?
@@teampangz1000mid rage androids are $250. I guess that’s what they meant.

I got burnt by Element Case also. They are trash.

Uag works well dropped it plenty of times no 😊issue
I was missing your content. Glad you’re back!
Thanks much appreciated and glad to be back! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you for making the only video I’ve found that actually explains these cases while acknowledging how expensive they are
Yeah this price is for sure up there. Can get much cheaper for probably the same if not more protection.
I love Element, I ran them for years until I switched to Rebel.
Yeah they make some solid cases for sure and have in the past but this right here is something else.
“Should you buy this $250 case? Hell no” 🤣🤣 same thing I said lol great in depth video Tee.
😂😂😂😂. Thanks much appreciated!
Great review! It’s a nice case but I could never use this on a daily basis, it’s way too bulky for the minimalistic life I try to live lol
Hahah I feel you for sure. Idk what life you have to live for this case lol.
@@TechnicallyTeesuch a waste of money but I enjoyed the video and I appreciate you doing this so we don't have to lol, they also have metal cases on Amazon for like 30 bucks, there probably not as nice but I have one for my s22u and it's so solid

Yeah it’s for sure not comfortable to hold. Those sharp edges are something else.
Ohhh damn! Shoutout! This case ready for the Fallout world!
😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you're feeling better Tee, btw I got the Apple Watch Ultra after seeing your vids. I love it so far.
Niceeeee. Apple Watch Ultra is so beast.
I had this case for my old 11 pro max, is very heavy case…. But it worth the price in my opinion👍
Good to know and to see someone who actually used it.
I think if you put the phone the other way around in landscape orientation (with the pointy end of the kickstand down), you might get some angle out of it.
Yeah might be possible.
Thanks for the review. I liked the older cases when they had the camera sliding cover. They should never have ditched it.
I bet it’s bulletproof 😅. What a huge, crazy expensive case. However, you do get a lot with it. A wallet, kickstand, and crazy protection. I just can’t see the use case for something this beefy (and expensive)!
Haha bulletproof, I should’ve tested that out in the video lol.
I got a Lunatik Taktik Extreme for much less and it makes my iPhone 14 pro lietrally a freakkin battle TANK!
Welcome back Tee 💯
Thanks homie!!💪🏽💪🏽
If you flipped the phone the other way it has a tilted landscape with the kickstand, power button side down, i have this case and its held up well
I had the element case black ops for Xs Max and it did not come in the clutch to save my phone , it fell face down while I was on the toilet that's about 15 inches from my hands to the floor & the screen looked as if a car ran over it . Idk if its the weight of the case that contributed to that much damage but whatever you do try not dropping your phone while using this case its just for aesthetics in my opinion.
I used to buy the Element Bumper cases, and even those were hella expensive for what you got!
Yeah all of element cases are usually expensive but this took it it next level lol
@@TechnicallyTee right!
Lifeproof case is slimmer with great protection
Yeah and I use to think those were expensive and this case enters the chat.
Tee am I buggin or you forgot to shave a part of that mustache what’s going on lol
Great honest review. I think if you could use a phone with boxing gloves, this is the case you'd want.
😂😂😂😂. Thanks much appreciated!
great video! as always T 😁
Thanks much appreciated!!💪🏽💪🏽
Dope video bro!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Damn I actually kind of want this case lol
Seriously?! 😂😂😂
@@TechnicallyTee haha yeah 😂😂 I’m not dropping that much money for a case though
I hope you have been doing well, Tee. I miss your streams. Take your time my friend.
Hey what’s going on man. Yeah I plan to bring the streams back. I’ve been working so hard on all the artwork for the stream so I’m trying to get it all finalized but regardless, I’ll be back love this upcoming Monday!
I thought the OtterBox cases were hard to get on and off!! Wow!!
O yeah you better keep that screwdriver around or you’re going to be looking for a small one to use.
I’ve got a $50 phone case that has more time and more space engineering put into the case, it’s survived 15 times from a 50 feet tower never cracked the phone screen or back glass
Ah man! I thought you were gonna post the Phone Rebel frosted case!
It’s coming for sure. Probably early next week or possibly might drop it tomorrow.
The screws missing thing and terrible Amazon reviews did me in. No way!
turn it upside down in landscape to get a better angle
Yoooo from ATL
What’s good!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This case goes hard, I miss the heavy duty cases like this
Great review on this case. I will add the Juggernaut is just as durable and solid but cost way less. Considering the fact you have military units and swat teams using it, I can see buying it before I purchased this case.
For 250 USD, it better have A/C built in to it to cool down the phone
😂😂😂😂😂
yeah its definitely way over priced
It would be nice if Element would’ve included a magsafe backplate to put on the back of the case just in case ppl dont want to use the wallet included. 🤷♂️
Yeah that’s a good point there as well because I doubt I would use the wallet. I need more than 3 cards on me.
Will this case interfere with signal since it’s metal ?
Aesthetically, it’s nice looking , but it falls short of a few things , very disappointing given they absurd asking price .
Nice review , and thank you
They know they are crazy for that price point lol. Tee you spend the money so we don’t have to😂
Haha yeah man someone has to do it 😂😂😂.
As always Tee...great review! The only way I would buy this case is if the phone was included. Other than that, I'll stick with my Caudabe Synthesis.
The phone included 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. you are very brave for buying this case. TBH you can return it to Amazon, nobody would complain. :D
Yeah someone had to do it and I don’t like buying products to do a video and return but idk about this one because I can never see myself using it again.
Nice review on the case it’s nice but taking it apart no way and the price omg nice one anyway Tee 😎🇮🇪👏
Yeah it was a task getting it all together for sure.
Got a feeling the return label for Amazon is already printed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmmmaooooo. Actually it’s not but I know I will never use this case again. Idk any future video where I will include it lol.
@@TechnicallyTee You still using the Rebel Frosted?
I’m actually rocking the Andar Aspen right now. I have to update the frosted Rebel because I was changing out the case and the bottom magnet fell off. Looks like that MagSafe issue isn’t completely solved after all.
Very nice video
Thanks much appreciated!
My man said hell no you shouldn’t buy this case 😂😂😂 appreciate you for keeping it real 🤝
I peeped this case and cant lie, I want this case but damn 🧐
Hard pass. Pushing up the screen protector, using the wallet (which didn’t lock in?) or have an open back. Not really compatible with MagSafe accessories. I’d expect better for 250.
Yeah for sure some things needs to be cleaned up.
There is one for the IPhone 13 Pro Max as well if anyone is curious
Yep sure is. That’s where I first saw the case.
@@TechnicallyTee ya me too but that price is what pushed me away from it
I’ve been waiting for this review!!! 🤑👎🏾 I got it for the 13 pro max and was a same day return, they would have been for you for the 14 promax, but I see it’s still the same problems.
Yeah for that price those problems needs to get cleaned up because that’s a little ridiculous that it doesn’t even work with oem MagSafe accessories.
How can this pass any product development department. And which sales manager would think USD 250 is the right price.
Your guess is a good as mine.
😮 I cannot unsee this monstrosity
😂😂😂😂
@@TechnicallyTee Thanks for the Enzo coupon! I have been rocking with the Blue Heaven for a month. It is such a great conversation starter at Starbucks!
I would rather pay that much for a upgrade in storage. Especially if the case is not even designed properly lol.
Hope you can return this.
You got that right. Yeah I’m sure it’s going to get returned.
This that case you buy when you don't have any game but you need the ladies to know you stack cash.
You will hand a lady your phone to get her number the the sides might cut her finger lol.
Why would you want to put a different wallet on it if it already comes with one? Seems the MagSafe issue is minimal IMO.
what happen with element and the last iphones ? ,Is this case working with 15 pro ?
Welcome back 👍🏻
I’m still can’t make up my mind to by the iPhone 14 pro or not can someone help me out please lol
Thanks much appreciated! What iPhone do you have right now?
@@TechnicallyTee iPhone 13 Pro
Thanks for trying this beast so we don’t have to. 🙂👍
Somebody has to do it lol.
I noticed w/ the PLUS attachment, it makes the wallet somewhat smaller in the center of the case whereas w/ the STANDARD size phone attachment, the wallet is seamlessly mended in (compressed). My thing is, w/ the PLUS, does the wallet slide up and down even with the arm bar lock down?
you had me rollin w/ the kickstand. Stop it 😂 missing parts, MagSafe “pass through”, kickstand for portrait only 👎🏾
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah man it’s some hard misses with this case for sure.
i’m not spending that kinda money on no cases i buy all my cases on shein i can’t get 30 cases for under 20 bucks
Haha I don’t blame you at that. This is extra and excessive for sure.
Too limited magsafe options. No thanks. I did like element back in the day when they made bumpers. It was unique at the time but now they look like better material UAG cases.
Yeah this have to clean that up when it comes to MagSafe. If you can’t use Apples small charger then you can’t use any of them without plugging in.
with this price, they better guarantee at least 40ft drop, and if if break they will buy you the latest and greatest iphone or any phone that you are using

Hi Tee, I was wondering, will there be S23 Ultra content from you?
Absolutely!! Have cases and accessories coming in as we speak!
@@TechnicallyTee Great, I‘m hyped for it 💪🏼
Anyone that’s ever been in the military knows “military grade” means nothing lol everything in the Army broke so easily, including our ACH’s (helmets) lol
No way in hell is that case worth $250
A case from juggernaut is only $85 and it’s a very tuff case to protect your phone
Yeah the price is excessive for sure.
Is this available in English?
You can use OEM apple parts , no good
Nope. Big issue.
I'll stick with my caudabe sheath 😅
Is that kickstand a hex wrench wth
😂😂😂😂 does kind of look like a wrench
My Man I like My Roc Form way better Tee
Yeah I would for sure suggest someone go with the Rokform. That’s all the protection that you need.
COMMENT 2: do NOT depend of this case to protect your phone, in my opinion it won’t.
No way. I won’t even spend more than $200 on shoe or a purse and I am a purse and shoes hoarder.
😂😂😂😂😂
...Gets you the prestigious title of 'Ultimate Dumb Ass' 🤣
HELL no. I'll stay with Phone Rebel.
Good choice.
I just ordered me one. They’re a little cheaper now.
Great content. For 250 bucks I can get 10 supcase unicorn beetle pros.
Love my 22$ outter case the phone felt off the second floor and nothing happens 😏
1:47 G-Unit
Man idk if I want a cost of lower end phone to cover my phone
Right! That’s basically what it is.
With how rough it looks and sounds, as a “tactical case”, it may be meant to double a weapon to throw at people in self-defense. 😂🤷♂️
Better to get UAG!
Tons of other options out there. I would go Rokform.
Tee this case is exhausting. To me this case is a total failure. Great upload !
Haha thanks much appreciated and yeah they for sure missed on a few things for sure.
I managed to buy that case for $29 lol
I feel like this case is a great option for someone who owns a small business and uses an iPhone for square payments or something similar. They want something that they can use while selling or while outdoors working without having to worry about dropping the phone. Plus they can write the case off as a business expense!

Don’t act like you aren’t hitting the return for a full refund button man. Hahaha!
I haven’t yet because I don’t usually buy things for a video and return it but this right here might be the first to make that list.
So the question is case or no case
Always case with me. Just not this case lol.
Yep hell no 😄
😂😂
$250 and it doesn’t even have a lanyard hole 😑
I figured there might be one somewhere but I don’t think so.
@@TechnicallyTee I don’t see one on their pictures neither nor the product description.
I don’t think you gave this case a fair shot. You should use it for the next month without taking it off and give us an updated video in March. 😂
There are some cases that I can use for a good bit and this one isn’t one of them.
Like wrapping an f-150 around your phone, jesus
First world case with First world problems 😂 I hope you get your money back
Hahaha. Yeah I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this thing because I don’t buy, review and return.
A phone for your case not a case for your phone
I’m still trying to understand how it’s worth $250.
Look I have no idea lol. I’m still trying to figure it out.
Most of it goes into the cnc aluminium ..
Take off 200 freedom dollars from this case and they have a deal. In all seriousness, thanks for taking the bullet for us.
Yeah for sure. Maybe I can see $80 at best.
250 dollars for this? they are wilin lmfao. such a mid case lmfao
Yeah they have to clean some things up a little before even trying to charge $200
😲
i bet this case cost 20 bucks or less to build lol
You know it probably does.
Talk about over engineering something.
Yeah for sure.
