Which one would you say is better?
Two completely different animals. IMO it's real hard to beat that Kevlar Monarch in terms of look, feel and function, but no MagSafe. That being said I've really been enjoying that Vibe case and my phone is still in it as we speak :oops:

Got this new case and I’m digging it. The metal frame is sturdy and includes a transparent back that can be removed.

Does it feel heavy?

With it on, hardly notice any difference. There are cutouts for the antenna bands, easy fastener to lock and unlock and includes case buttons.

Vibe case update: Overall a fantastic case. Makes the phone a little wider and taller as it has some pretty thick sides. The color buttons seem a little loose/jiggley in the case but work perfect and IMO are some of the best in the game. The grip on the sides is phenomenal but some may find them too rough/grippy. No fingerprint problems on the back but the fiber does collect some dust and junk. Magsafe magnets are strong. The front firing speakers are loud and crisp.
The case fits nice and tight, no saggy bottom, sides or top.
I honestly feel that my phone would be safe and protected in this case if it ever hits the pavement.
I like this case and have ordered some yellow buttons for it. :oops:

My replacement UAG Metropolis Lt came in today from UAG and it's perfect. The one I purchased at Verizon had an air pocket between the back of the case and the phone and was giving me wireless charging problems even with MagSafe.

This one is perfect with some strong MagSafe magnets and I'm back in love :p
First time out of the Vibe in three days and that's a new record for me.
