Today we’re taking a look at the Tongate Mech case for the Galaxy S24 plus. Tongate is back sponsoring this video for the S24 launch. The Mech case is actually a bundle for the S24 plus, we’re getting the 2-piece interlocking case, cleaning and prep materials, and we’re actually getting an included tempered glass screen protector. This case also offers the benefit of a sliding camera door and a kickstand which is kind of nice. Now that we know what’s included and highlights, let’s talk about the protection factor while I get this case installed. The Mech case offers an open front frame which tightly interlocks with the main rear case body. The case basically forms a bezel around the entire perimeter of the front side of the S24 plus. This is an important screen protection feature because in flat surface drop scenarios like your kitchen floor or the basement, the front frame supported by the main rear case body will take the initial impact forces because the case is raised above the height of the screen. Since the case is taller than the screen all around the phone, it will always make direct contact in these scenarios which will allow the case to absorb and redistribute those impact forces reducing the chances of your S24 plus cracking. Now, this is an open frame design meaning there is no built-in screen protector of film for the screen itself. Some people prefer this but if you want to level up that protection, Tongate includes a tempered glass screen protector. The screen protector has a decent thickness and seems durable enough to withstand some decent impacts in my opinion. Installation was relatively easy, basically just peel off the protective layer, line up the screen protector using the front facing camera as a kay or legend, then set it in place. Make sure before you do this though that you thoroughly clean the screen surface like I did with the wet and dry wipes then remove and dust specs with those included dust stickers. Screen prep is key to any good application of a screen protector.
