5It’s a lifeproof case
PostedGbinkleyThis review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Night light
I’ve been in a continuous argument with my friend about which is better. Lifeproof or otter box. Ever since I had my first iPhone 5s 3 years ago I have used lifeproof. And they really are lifeproof. With my 5s, I dropped it down stairs, dropped it off of a deck, and many other things that put it to the test. While I had 3 cases for it, they all broke because of user error. In these cases, I broke the case. None of them broke from daily use. Ever since January, I have a an iPhone 8 with the lifeproof fre case. Being in high school, i put it through its paces. I am super clumsy when it comes to my phone. My most recent drop was at the beach when we were all sitting on a second floor deck. I dropped my phone off the railing and it fell about 25 feet onto concrete. It did some cartwheels and stopped. When I went down to retrieve it, there was only a minor scuff in the plastic. This was fixable with a nail file. Yes the case popped open on the side but that was cause of the force of the impact. This case is actually insane. Everyone I know has been surprised that my phone has no damage on it. The only scratches on the screen are from when I used a different case. All in all, this case is a must have for anyone that drops their phone. While it is pricey, your paying for a case that will survive a 25 foot drop onto rock. Think about that the next time you buy a case. What is the worst thing that you could do accidentally and see if your cas will survive. If have read till the end, thanks, and I hope that you and your lifeproof case will go on many adventures together.

This review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Night light
I've had 4 previous LifeProof products in years past, and they were all great. These new models (since Otterbox took over the company) are not at all what they used to be. Quality has dropped dramatically. I'll list my pros and cons for this specific case below, however, I will never purchase another LifeProof product again. iPhone 7 LifeProof FrÊ Pros •Looks good •Fairly lightweight & slim •Lots of color options Cons •Very cheap plastic •Sharp corners/edges that are uncomfortable and jagged against fingers & hands •NOT as water-resistant as claimed •Built in screen protector is very low quality (it doesn't sit flush against the device so you can feel it when you press the screen, screen is now less responsive, and visually it's not completely clear; it's very low quality and has a grainy rainbow effect) •Case has gaps in different places all around and doesn't properly close in each area •WAY too expensive for what you're getting. Absolutely NOT worth the price •Extremely uncomfortable and sharp edges around TouchID sensor •Because the plastic is so bad and cheaply produced, I definitely wouldn't trust this to protect much at all in a drop scenario. And even if it does protect the device inside, the plastic is so cheap that the case will be ruined and damaged. So it may save your device, but you may still be out a case that costs in the $100 range. Not worth it and not cost effective. I dunno.. these are not anywhere near the quality of the old LifeProof products. I'm still within the return window, so I'm pretty sure I'll be returning this later on this evening.

Hey there tbn84,
Thanks for your extensive and candid feedback on this iPhone 7 FRĒ series! While we certainly understand your hesitation towards the price point, we truly feel that the cost of the unit is well worth the tested high-caliber protection, outstanding customer service, and one-year warranty that all come along with the product. This case is designed to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise jeopardize your device, and if the unit is damaged in the process, we're happy to replace it for you.
We are also willing to look into a warranty replacement for situations where the case is behaving strangely, such as the odd screen protector and gap issues that you describe. If you still happen to have the product, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll set you up with a brand-new FRĒ that we're confident should give you no such trouble going forward!
Regards,
LifeProof Customer Service Team

This review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Night light
This review is posted 5/22/18. I bought this case 4/7/18 to replace my otter box defender, come to find out the person on the other end of the line can’t hear me on speaker phone, and my voice is muffled off speaker. Did some research online and found multiple complaints, phone carriers blaming cases, cases blaming carriers. The “solution” was to open the lightning charge port to “uncover” the microphone. I’ve tried opening the lightning port, didn’t help at all, I have to practically yell in the phone for the other person to hear me. Save your money, life proof isn’t what they used to be. The cases for the iPhone 6 didn’t have this problem at all. I’m 28, everyone from my wife, to parents, to customer service reps with companies I order from, to my coworkers all have the same complaint when I call. None of these problems happened with the otter box, I will be switching back, and hopefully trying to return this case for a refund.

This review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Drop in
I bought this for my husband's new iPhone 8. I loved the idea of full phone protection from dropping, screen breaking, getting wet, snow, etc. I was a little concerned that the full front cover would not recognize the fingerprint log in. I am so happy that there is no problem with fingerprint recognition. The case is also a lot thinner than the otter cases. He carries it in his front pocket and doesnt have to worry about the screen getting scratched, or broken. I also like that this case makes his phone waterproof. The plastic front cover does not take away from the screen brightness or clarity. I think this is a perfect case for those who do not want to mess with screen protectors and want their phone fully protected. You simply put your phone in this case and snap it closed and your phone is fully protected!!

This review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Wipeout
I bought a life proof case couple years ago and had no problem well I decided i wanted to upgrade and buy another lifeproof case because of my jobs environment it helps keep the dust out of my phone and when I drop it, it definitely protects it but the only issue I have is no one can’t hear me when I’m on the phone I either have to put it on speaker or partly take my phone out of the case or use my AirPods just to talk on the phone and that’s frustrating, especially when I get important calls and I have to put them on hold just to connect my AirPods so I definitely wouldn’t recommend this case anymore going to find me another case that can do the same job and able to talk on the phone with no issues.. fix the issue lifeproof co. or continue to lose customers this doesnt even deserve one star

This review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Drop in
I have purchased several of these life proof FRE cases for myself and family members over the years! I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about water getting to my phone and we have all dropped our phones plenty of times and never had an issue with phone damage with these cases! The reason(s) I gave four stars instead of five is because the case is totally encased so you do lose a little of the effects of touching the actual screen but the protection it gives is worth it. The other thing is that I don’t like how I have to keep buying new cases every time the phone design changes, but that’s not really life proof’s fault...maybe they could allow loyal life proof users a substantial discount if they repurchase the same case with the new design?!?

2Bad design & brighter color than advertised
PostedVeteranThis review is from LifeProof - FrĒ Protective Water-resistant Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 and 8 - Banzai blue
Having bought Lifeproof cases in the past, I was highly disappointed by this product Cons -Poor quality screen protector creates a grainy rainbow effect that pretty much ruins the high-quality Apple Retina display -Case is not flush with phone in multiple areas, so when I press on multiple points of the phone, the case squishes inward (making the case feel like cheap, hollow plastic toy) -Camera photo quality is significantly reduced -Sound quality of calls is horrendous unless you open the lighting port cover -Buttons are 10x harder to press than without the case (it feels like a strength test every time I attempt to press the power button) -Color of case is significantly brighter than the images on this website and the Lifeproof website, making my phone look like a child's toy

I love these phone cases they are the only cases I have ever used on my phones for as long as I can remember, only bad thing about them recently is the lack of selection and colors. I have gone to best buy several times in the last few months and they have only had 2 female colors and one is the one I purchased and the other is one that is too light colored for me to ever be interested in it would get too dirty too quickly and they dont just have a plain black either they are all boy colored so im just stuck with this color forever and it gets boring and old I really wish they would come up with some variety because its not fun having the same color forever and it will probably remain that way now that newer phones keep coming out.
