LifeProof - NËXT Case for Apple® iPhone® XS Max - Black Crystal

I’ve owned different life proof cases for a very long time and I did not hesitate to get one for my iPhone X’s Max. I bought my first Next case for my iPhone X, well one day I was placing my son in his car seat so I placed my phone on top of my car. Put my son in his car seat, got in the car and drove about 1 block. Turned into traffic when I heard something hit my trunk. I look in my rear view and saw my phone on the ground in the middle of traffic. I quickly pulled over only to watch a Ford F-250 roll over my phone, front and back tires, next comes a Honda Accord. I ran in middle of traffic to get my phone thankfully the next car stopped to allow me to get it. Saw my phone face down and my case broken apart. Terrified to flip my phone over because I just knew my screen was done for. To my surprise not a scratch on my phone! No cracks, nothing! My case was pretty messed up but It did it’s job. My Life proof next protected my phone against a drop and 2 vehicles running it over. It’s life proof for life!!

I bought this after the back of my iPhone XS MAX shattered completely. Once I got my replacement, I knew I needed a better case. Haven’t really had any big complaints with this. I do notice that the case sometimes comes apart, and I find myself having to snap it back to close it. Other than that, it serves its purpose. I do like being able to see the back of my phone; since this new iPhone has a sleek finish on the back. If you want to keep your front screen protected, you need to get a screen protector. Most LifeProof cases come with a built in cover, but this does not.

The case looks good and seems like it will protect the phone well, but that's where the good qualities end. It adds too much bulk to the outside of my already large phone (iPhone XS). It was very expensive (CRAZY EXPENSIVE) even after a bundle discount. The two halves of the case do not interlock that great either, there's always some play if you try to press them together. I wouldn't recommend this case unless you like monstrous cases that are over priced. There are cheaper just as good alternatives out there.

The NEXT case for the Lifeproof X was a total mess that I had to order about 3 cases within 6 months because of the protective rubber around the case. It would just come off. So I was disappointed. But the NEXT for the iPhone XS Max has been a big improvement from last years model. I believe they are using a different glue and you can just tell the rubber is tightly sealed and it’s been only 3 months but so far so good. Love the case because your phone can be shown off.

I love that this case is clear on the back because I want to be able to see the color of the phone that I wanted. The case protects the phone quite well but for some reason I noticed that that part of the case that you pull apart to take it off is kind loose all the time. I thought it was simply just my case but I have a friend that got this exact case at the exact same time as me and he has the same problem as well. He can just unsnap the case with one hand. But if you don't tamper with it, it does its job.

I’ve had a life proof for every iPhone I have owned. I ended up returning this one unfortunately. The case would easily come apart at the top and would not stay attached. I would take the phone out of my pocket and the case would not be together. I have never had this problem with any other lifelroofs so I was very disappointed when this started happening. All in all it was a good case. I just wish it would have stay together.

The case was nice and perfect fit for the Phone but Having used the Fre for my previous phones and liked it so much due to its proven protection. I thought Lifeproof did not make the Fre anymore so I opted to buy this item. When I found out that Fre is still available in store, I returned the item and bought the Fre instead. I will still recommend the item to people who wanted a real feel of the screen with uncompromised protection.

The Lifeproof Next case is one of my favorites. The case is thick enough to have the screen, with a glass protector on it, not touch the surface thanks to the high sides. I've dropped the phone from much higher than their specs and it's always come out free of any damage. I just wish there were more colors than Black, purple, and pink (gray isn't much better). Love the case though, and life proof's warranty!
