    Nice case biggest con was the mute button tearing open and not making this case water or life proof in less then 3weeks of use.

      Hi DJohnson5,

      We apologize that this FRĒ series didn't end up standing the test of time! This definitely doesn't sound like the tough durability that we expect from our products, and had you contacted our friendly representatives right off the bat, they would have loved to set you up with a warranty replacement. However, we completely understand your decision to head down a different path, and we truly hope that this experience does not turn you away from LifeProof for good.

      If you have any future questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-888-533-0735, and we'll always do what we can to help out!

      Sincerely,

      Dear Kayla,

      We're genuinely sorry to see that your screen retained such fatal damage while under the watchful eye of the FRĒ series. Our cases are put through an extensive amount of testing to make sure that they provide the best device protection possible, but unfortunately, every dangerous situation is subject to a number of different variables and risks, some of which are beyond our control.

      Although our warranty does not extend to the Apple product itself, we would still love to get you into a brand-new LifeProof so that you can get off to a fresh start once that screen is repaired. If this sounds like a viable option for you, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

      Hi Megan,

We're confident that with a few quick troubleshooting tricks, they should be able to straighten things out. Please feel free to give them a call at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll be thrilled to help!

    The item broke in 3 days, the front screen popped out, at the top horizontal line. I will no long recommend Lifeproof, awaiting a Case from "Lifeproof" for testing. Lifeproof is saying they guarantee their product, if purchased from their Company. We shall see, free trails are nice, however I'm still FIRM with my decision.

If you have any future questions or comments, please feel free to call our friendly representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll be glad to further assist you!

    A Life-saver

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    You can't get around the fact that the case will make your phone bigger, bulkier, and heavier. However, this is the small sacrifice you have to make in order to not worry about your screen and phone. The Fre case is phenomenal and second to none in protecting your device. From water to sand to just plain falling, the Fre has you covered. I've brought my phone to the beach to get amazing wave pictures as well as underwater shots. The Fre lived up to its name and allowed me to not worry about it. While being quite large, it doesn't impede any of the general functions of the phone such as phone quality, mic, or camera quality. There might be a few times where you have to wipe the camera lens in order not to have a blur or a smudge but I found myself doing that without a case anyway. Overall, while making your phone a bit bigger, I think it is worth it for the protection of my device. Especially as an adventurer and one who frequently visits the beach...to not worry about water or sand.

      We're sorry to hear that you're having issues with touch sensitivity on your FRĒ case. We've seen issues like this in the past when using that case with an additional screen protector on the device. If you're not using any additional screen protection, that case may need to be replaced. Give us a ring at 1-888-533-0735, and we can get you taken care of.

      We're sorry to hear about the sensitivity issues you've run into with your FRĒ case. Oftentimes, removing the case and reinstalling it can help line everything up a bit better. If that doesn't help, we'd suggest removing any additional screen protectors you may be using with your device. If you continue to have issues after that, please give us a ring at 1-888-533-0735, and we can look into your replacement case options.
