Finally, a truly honest review that isn't sponsored! I've used Burga for 3 years and have honestly been very disappointed overall. -The tough cases are impossible to use with a PopSocket or anything similar because it pulls apart the two parts of the case and your phone screen shatters (they start coming apart somewhat quickly anyway, but the PopSocket only accelerates this process). -The prints, as you mentioned, are very hit and miss; not only are they deceptively lacking in shimmer or reflection of any sort, but sometimes the prints are indeed pixelated and lower quality than expected. -Also, one of my first cases--a tough case--broke in the corner after a few months (I'll give them points here as they did honor a replacement after I sent them the photos they requested as proof). For all these cons, the price is FAR, far too high. I just started looking at them again because they've apparently released a new type of "Elite case" that is only one part and supposedly has more protection and more HQ images (of course they're even more expensive) as well as some interesting new designs. I wonder if they are any better. Probably still not worth the outrageous cost, though.
Hey. I use Elite design case. After two weeks of usage two golden layer letters missed. The case is super heavy and super slippery. Even during cold weather it’s impossible to keep the phone in a hand. The only advantages - this case covers screen edges, and different styles.
I'm so glad I watched your review before I went ahead and spent a fortune on one of these! I think I'll just keep browsing the cheaper phone cases until I see a deal. Thank you so much for putting this together!
You're very welcome Soph! Ideally it would be good if they sold them in shops so you could look at the print in advance but it's annoying when it's so hit and miss.
Love the review. Everything I was afraid of was confirmed true. It’s way too expensive for me to not get what’s advertised. Sonix are by far the best brand I’ve used.…. Burga comes out to Over $100 for 2 cases for me in NZ. Thanks for your honesty and your intellect.
Very welcome! Yeah it's a shame they're not sparkly, the non sparkly ones are cute (like Almond Latte that I have on my phone right now) but it is hit or miss!
@11:49 That's no conspiracy, that is an established marketing technique to get the consumer to spend more. You go on the website because you need one case, and end up buying 4,6,...10 cases. Burga's deal is: above 4 cases everything is half price, so some people do buy 8 or 10 cases. I have always bought top of the line Samsungs, along with top of the line phone cases, for myself and my family. Nobody has ever needed more than one case, two tops; because they never break. Anyway, I appreciate this review, so thank you.
Thank you for making this video! i was considering getting one of the marble-print cases and was excited because the pictures of them look super pretty, but i think i'll go with a different phone case brand since I don't want it to look matte or yellow
You're very welcome! 😄 Yeah it's a pity because it seems to be really hit or miss with some of the designs. I can recommend almond latte but I wasn't impressed with the marble one I ordered
Hey there from Germany 😊 That's exactly the reason why I was a bit dissapointed yesterday when my Burga cases arrived... I bought two of the marble ones and expected them to be shiny with a golden sparkle - but it's just a brown and yellow colour 🥺😩 I'm not going to send them back, but I am pretty sure I won't order there again...
Hey there from Spain! 😄 Aw no sorry to hear you're disappointed too. It's such a shame that the marble ones don't look good because they could be so pretty if they actually looked like the pictures!
Thank you for the review! I’m currently doing some research on launching my own online phone case store and decided to look into this brand since the website is amazing. ⭐️ I create all of my case designs so I will stay away from any glitter or metallic colors! It just isn’t posible to capture a true shiny and glittery effect print for. Something I hadn’t thought about. Will also only offer tough cases and stay away from the snap on option. A million thank yous for this vital information!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you! Extremely useful video I was tempted by their current Black Friday sales, but I definetely won’t risk spending 50 euros (I think the iPhone cases cost more?) to get a really cool looking case, is there’s the possibility it will come with a subpar print that’s all pixelated. That’s a shame, Bitter Apricot really spoke to me as a design 😂 Again, thanks a lot! Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹 Edit: Nevermind the 50 euros, I was checking the “Elite” cases, not the tough ones you described. Still, I doubt the print issue is different
Hey Enrico! You're very welcome, I am glad it was useful to you 😄 I just looked up the Bitter Apricot design and it is very cool. It's a shame because their designs are very unique but you're right it's a lot of money to spend to risk it being a bad print. Thanks for watching and buona fortuna on finding a cool case 🌟
Hola desde Madrid! 😄 Thank you for your video. The same happened to me last year, they really look much better on their website and then you get a different print quality. I got Hot Cocoa and Golden Taupe and sent them back, the print quality was terrible and a huge disappointment. Afternoon Treat and Almond Latte are my favourites, also Wildflower is really nice. My advice if you have a PayPal account would be to pay with it as they will refund you the cost of anything you send back. Saludos!
Hola! 👋😄 That's great to know about PayPal, shame I just used my debit card. Sorry you were disappointed too but good to know that I'm not the only one or am fussy! I looked at the ones you mentioned and they look really pretty 😍
I used to have burga cases but I noticed I drop my phone a lot more with a burga case then the once I had before. They seem to be quite slippery. Not sure if they still are, but that's keeping me from buying these cases.
I just got a new phone and bought 4 burga cases with the buy 2 get 2 free offer. Just a few days after I bought them, Burga had a halloween sale, which got me quite annoyed cos I could have saved a few bucks. Its like each case costed me around 20eur. They take quite some time to arrive as it has been almost 2 weeks that I bought them, and going around with an almost naked phone isn’t really a good idea. Anyways I got the Art Class, Sunday Market, Rock on and flower power cases. I already had burga before and their tough cases are amazing at protecting your phone. My previous phone was still in mint condition thanks to their cases, therefore I decided to buy their products again.
It's great to know that the cases last a long time then! Thanks for your comment 😄 I also hate when you buy something and then there's a sale on right after 🤦♀️
I ordered the buy 2 get 2 free. Two were a gift but have sent my two back because so disappointed in the print quality. Had to pay postage to send my two back so will only get half of my refund (1/4 of total paid). Wouldn’t order again.
Sorry you're disappointed! They're so hit and miss aren't they. I think it is so unfair when you have to pay return postage too because you end up out of pocket more than before you bought them!
@@Orlagh it’s a shame too. The designs are lovely but too expensive to play Russian roulette. Thank you for your video. It did reassure me that I wasn’t being overly critical of the products and that the print is indeed subpar (unless you buy the elite case…I think)!
@@a_silver_wolf6028 yes you put it perfectly! You're very welcome, I'm glad! I did wonder the same about myself at first because a lot of the review videos were positive. At least we're not alone haha!
I luckily bought mine second hand, because right now they are €50 a piece, and I got 4 for €10. They don't fit! It falls off my phone! So for a badly printed case, that doesn't even fit, demanding €50 is completely outrageous.
I tried so much cases, but Case-Mate is the best for me, very protective and so beautiful, they have a lots of glittery cases with real glitters, looks beautiful.
I watch a lot of phone unboxing videos and phone case videos because im weird but ive noticed a lot in the comments theres usually one or two random name/no picture accounts that always comment about Burga cases. Like "i just got this phone too and i can't wait to get the Burga case I've been dreaming of". It really seems like Burga pays for bot accounts to comment on videos. That's so sketchy to me 🤨
???? I change my phone cases weekly , I also change my themes to match my cases.... I also get my nails done to match my cases.... I have almost 100 cases I buy 4 burga cases a month.... its fashion for me. I can't stand the same thing over and over.
You buy 4 burga cases every month? Each burga case costs anywhere between 50-80$. Then you get your nails done to match your cases. If you feel like you are always broke, this is why. Imagine if you took that 500-1000$ your spending every month on your stupid nails and a phone case and put it into a Roth IRA every month. 20 years from now you’d have more than a million dollars saved up.
@@emperormouse5487 there always buy 2 get 2 free so it's 80 dollars for 2 cases plus im a rewards member and get discounts I also use klarna to pay making it about 20 bux every 2 weeks..... and I never said I felt broke lmao I'm far from it
@@carolohlmann5944 what do you do for a living to be able to have disposable income to spend on your own personal luxuries? I’d love to do what you do lol

ENORMOUSLY helpful!!! Thank you! Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks for this! Just got a new phone and wondered if they were worth the money.

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful to you 😄
Almond latte is my favorite case
Grateful I saw your video. Won't be getting them now as I loved the marble gold ones. Thank you 💫
So glad it was helpful for you and you saved some money 😄
Just one more mention, they do give 12 month warranty on their cases :)
Ahh that's great, I didn't know that :)
I was just about to buy the snap case, but this chanegd everything! THANK YOUUU!
Glad it could be helpful for you :)
If you buy one tough case, could you just buy a bunch of snap casas and make them tough by switching the silicone case?
Unfortunately no because the sizes are different. That's what I thought at first too!
I ordered the buy 2 get 2 free. Two were a gift but have sent my two back because so disappointed in the print quality. Had to pay postage to send my two back so will only get half of my refund (1/4 of total paid).

I'm still waiting for mine 😔 My phone managed to get here before the cases, even though I bought the cases 2.5 weeks before the phone.
Omg that's a crazy waiting time! Have you reached out to customer service?
@@Orlagh its stuck with Royal Mail's depot 😭 so I don't think Burga can expedite the process
do you recomend any brand ? i was attemped to buy there , but after this review i tink i will not buy there
I've heard some good things about Casetify but I know they're pricey!
I tried so much cases, but Case-Mate is the best for me, very protective and so beautiful, they have a lots of glittery cases with real glitters, looks beautiful.
@Orlagh thas too expensive and not good in quality
@@Orlaghi wouldn’t recommend castiefy i have the most supportive one and the back of my phone still shattered
Thank you this review was really helpful
I'm so glad :)
How long did it take to reach you? Mine is almost a month and i still haven’t receive :(
Delivery did take quite a while! Have you contacted them?
Yeah I wanted to share the buy 2 get 2 with my bf
