Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the frē Case's protection, water resistance, and lightweight design. Many appreciate its snug fit and ease of use, although some find the sound quality to be somewhat muffled. A few users experienced issues with the headphone jack and reported lower volume levels when the case is on. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback by some customers.

    Waterproof at a Cost

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

    I purchased this as an additional insurance plan after my Galaxy S6 decided to take a swim in a pool while in an OtterBox, ruining the phone. In a run of bad luck, within 3 days I ended up knocking over my large coffee right onto the phone & case, and the case did exactly as expected -- protected the phone. The major complaint, which is quite a nuisance but an obvious tradeoff for a completely waterproof case, is that all ports & openings are sealed. This includes the speaker, meaning that sounds, including phone ringtones & notifications, are substantially subdued. In certain cases, it makes it difficult to hear the phone ringing & thus I have had to set the phone to vibrate in many environments. Also frustrating is the lack of a matching belt clip. Instead, you have to buy their new universal mounting & clip kit, which involves a sticky plate that is glued to the back of the phone. I don't understand why, aside from only having to make 1 mounting system, which works for every phone case they now make, they don't make a native belt clip.

    After a few days of owning this case, I've noticed that if I tilt the screen at a certain angle there's stains that look like oil slicks. I wished I would've done more research before buying this case.

      Hi FtWorthGal84,

      We’re sorry you are getting a bit of a rainbow effect on this FRE’s screen protector. Applying a very fine puff of baby powder on to the inside of the screen protector can be very helpful in taking care of that problem.

      To do this you will want to place the front case assembly on a flat surface with the inside of the screen facing towards you. Then, from approximately 1-2 feet above the screen protector (on the inside of the case) blow or puff the faintest, virtually invisible layer of powder over the case, and allow it to settle on the inside of the screen protector. If you get too much on the case, wipe off the powder and try again.

      Finally, when you reinstall your device into the case, we’d suggest that you place your phone facedown into the screen protector first and then attach the backside of the case. All of this should take care of the issues that you’re experiencing, but if you find that the symptoms persist, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-855-419-7418, and we will be more than happy to set you up with a warranty replacement.

      Hi outwestgirl,

      We are sorry that this FRE case is hindering the sound coming from your Galaxy S6. We completely get why that would be disappointing and we absolutely want to help out with this unusual dilemma.

      Typically, the quickest and most effective way to alleviate any audio issues with your LifeProof case will be to remove your device, blow some air through the speaker and microphone membranes on the case, and then re-install your phone with the bottom going in first.

      If you find the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to us at 1-888-533-0735, and we’ll be more than happy to set you up with a warranty claim for a replacement.

    Water resistance

    large, but works perfectly

    I lost one phone a few years ago to the lake, and it dies a slow death. This case is the best option I've found that might combat that kind of user error. After taking a vacation, and hiking around numerous waterfalls, and rivers, the case in fact did do it's job, and protected the phone from water, and has even protected it from the shocking user error of shutting a car hatch on it. Oops! The case popped open, but there was no other damage whatsoever! I was eager to test the case out before putting a phone inside. It is not a 100% seal, so do not expect it to stay perfect 50 ft under water. A small amount of moister will pass through, and the gaskets are only designed to slow the process down. Good enough for realizing you might have made a mistake, even if 20 minutes later. A side effect of the case is that if my ear gets a little sweaty, the sweat will no longer plug the ear piece speaker. For me, this is a huge bonus! The only negative things about the case are that it increases the size of your phone, the screen isn't perfectly clear, and most 1/8" jacks cannot fit in the gasket plug made for 1/8" jack pass through.

    Have a samsung s6, the case must have been a lemon. It pressed the volume button and power button at the same causing the phone to go into lock down mode. On the positive side the Best Buy team gave me no problem and let me swap for an otter box.

    It did not fit my phone like it said. Also it failed the water test miserably. The one it recommends you try before you put your phone inside. Did last 30 seconds before full of water inside. I wouldn't put phone through this. Not the case for me.

    The case has been fine with the major exception of the charge port cover. The gasket needs to be intact to ensure the case is water resistant. It was not held in very well and came off somewhere so this water resistant case is no longer.
