Our Best Phone Cases for Winter Adventures

When the weather turns cold, pulling out your phone can become a hazard. Normally responsive fingers are covered by insulated gloves and mittens. If you aren't wearing hand protection in cold weather, your grip is likely to become compromised due to cold digits causing delayed reaction time.

In the winter, your tech investment is at risk, but Urban Armor Gear’s innovative and durable phone protection is the solution. Our cases offer tactile surfaces for enhanced gripping when your fingers are challenged to hold on and drop-test protection for when accidents happen. Whether you’ve dropped your phone on icy pavement or up to 25 feet to hard pack snow from a ski resort chairlift, so long as your phone is UAG protected, you’re covered.

Here’s a roundup of some of our most grippable and droppable phone cases for your winter adventuring needs.

Monarch Series Phone Cases

The beefy Monarch Pro is equipped with premium materials in 5-layers of protection: a shock-resistant core, an armor frame layered with carbon fiber/leather, a polycarbonate shear plate, alloy metal hardware, and impact-resistant rubber surround. Thoughtful features like a lanyard anchor and highly tactile surface area reduce the risk of drops, but when they do happen, you have UAG’s signature military-grade drop-test protection backing you up.
