UAG Transparent Cases Arrive for Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro Max
Urban Armor Gear (UAG) has launched three distinct transparent case variants for the Burgundy edition of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, according to a product test published by Uzone.id. The new lineup—consisting of the Plyo, Trooper, and Plasma XTE models—allows the smartphone’s deep red finish to remain visible while offering varying degrees of drop protection, physical bulk, and integrated hardware features.
Shielding the Burgundy Finish with Plyo, Trooper, and Plasma XTE
Protecting a large, slippery device like the Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro Max without completely hiding its color has driven the design choices behind UAG’s latest trio. Uzone.id reported that each case provides a different daily handling experience and distinct impact resistance ratings. The UAG Trooper anchors the high-end of protection, adding substantial thickness and weight to the device in exchange for a 5X MIL-SPEC 810G-516.6 rating and drop resistance up to 30 feet, or 9.1 meters. It features a two-piece construction with a hard front frame, a transparent back panel, and a protective USB-C port cover to block dust.
Positioned in the middle tier, the UAG Plasma XTE balances ruggedness with a built-in metal kickstand for vertical and horizontal viewing. The Plasma XTE relies on a TPU bumper with reinforced corners, achieving a 3X MIL-SPEC 810G-516.6 certification and drop protection up to 20 feet, or 6 meters. Meanwhile, the UAG Plyo prioritizes a slim profile for daily use, combining a TPU frame with a polycarbonate back featuring greyish accent lines that complement the Burgundy colorway. The Plyo incorporates anti-yellowing technology and is rated for drops up to 16 feet, or 4.9 meters, while sharing the same 3X MIL-SPEC standard as the Plasma XTE.
Pricing and Compatibility Details Across the UAG Lineup
All three transparent models fully support MagSafe wireless charging and accessories, and each features raised bezels around the camera module and screen to prevent direct table contact. Testing confirmed that the cases accommodate tempered glass screen protectors, such as the PanzerGlass Ceramic II, without lifting or pushing against the glass edges, as noted by Uzone.id.
