Bought this for an Iphone SE to use when boating. Great case except it renders the headphone jack useless; when you unscrew the hole cover, the entry port is too small to attach most earbuds/headphones. Apple earbuds fit but that's about it.

This is my 4th version of this iPhone case, all of which lasted within one and a half to two years. This time frame is due to the heavy abuse I have inflicted on the previous cases, and thats why I continue to trust life proof to keep my gear functioning regardless of my environment.

I think it's neat that it protects against everything & I understand that why it's the way it is. But I'm not sure it's the worth price. I feel like it's cheaply made, It's a pain to have to connect the earphones or connect charger.

I love life proof cases I will never go back to another case. A few years ago I had an iPhone that had a life proof case on it an It accidentally got ran over all the way and the phone did not break but the case did. They may be pricey, but they are well worth it!

I purchased this case for my college son because he was heading to the Houston area to help with water rescues
from Hurricane Harvey. He just left for his fourth weekend to help. It's great to know that he has a reliable and durable case to protect his iPhone.

I've only had my case for a couple of days but I'm really liking it so far. But I have to be honest in the fact that I haven't tried putting my phone in water yet,even though I did the water test just as instructed and it passed, because I'm just to scared to try it.

My daughter's original case, the same brand/style but in different color, was broken, so we had to buy one. We were lucky that this one, in her preferred color was available at a local store. She simply loves this brand/style, and now got her color.

Easy to download app and firmware from prompts directly to phone. Downloaded 609 photos and videos in a little over 5 minutes. Plugged USB into HP laptop, opened USB and there were the photos and videos. Plugged back into phone and there were the photos and videos.

I bought the case in dec 2016 by April it had cracked at the base where the charger port was .. I didn't drop it . It was just stress from opening and closing the port. My phone ended up getting water damage . Luckily for me I had apple care+ and it only cost 100 to replace the phone. Just don't take it near a pool this is the second life proof case for a different model that has failed with water after being used for less than 3 months. They other was for my Samsung s4 2 years ago. I was kayaking and it was up out of the water when I fell in it was in my best for less than 5 mins it had water damage that case was less than 3 months also I test them when I get them but they seems to fail shortly after use. But the drop protection is excellent

I have a few issues with this product. It was purchased for use on a boat. While it appears to be waterproof -- I tested it before putting my phone in it -- it does not float nor it does not have any way to attach a flotation device to it. It is of little use keeping the phone dry if it sinks to the bottom with no way to retrieve it. Additionally, the case muffles the microphone when using speaker phone; callers on the other end cannot hear me. This is very frustrating. That, alone, would not be a deal breaker. However, due to the lack of thought for keeping the phone afloat, I cannot recommend this case.

The lifeproof cases are terrific! This is my third one and i am very rough on them. They stop dust, grime, and can take a hit like mike Tyson. My phone is three years old and when l take it out of these cases, it is still like new!

I was going to buy this no matter what, but I bought my new phone on Black Friday and this was 50 bucks off retail!!!! I see now that they are still less than the 80 bucks it used to cost but like I said I was ready to buy it no matter the cost.

Made a downgrade from the more expensive NUUD case after having 2 of them which seemed to crack, peel, and have the protective covering over the camera lens and flash covering crack away over time. SO far the case seems to be doing better.

I have not on this product long enough to give A good review. But for the amount of time that I have owned it, it has been great. I previously had an otterBox. The OtterBox did not offer any waterproof protection so I bought this one.

This is about the 4th or 5th Lifeproof cover that I have owned. I have had great luck with them until my last one and this one. I got this one to replace one just like it. The screen cover on the one I replaced kept slipping out of the side cover no matter how many times I took the cover off and replaced it, so I purchased this one. I haven't had this new one but about 6 weeks and the screen cover on this one is starting to do the same thing as the last one. This will probably be my last Lifeproof due to the high price. It's not economical for me to buy one that often.

There are many iPhone cases on the market. After reviewing several I found that LifeProof was extremely well made and fits together very securely. It is definitely not as bulky as some of the others which was very important to me.

An ounce of prevention goes a long way. This case is much cheaper than a replacement phone.

I bought my 9 year old daughter an iPhone SE for her birthday and needed a trustworthy case to go along with it. The case had to be low profile as well as had the ability to take a beating. This case does and will continue to do the job.

We've been happy with our Lifeproof cases ever since we started using them. They've been stepped on by horses, dropped in sinks (and unfortunately toilets too...ewwwww), and have survived unscathed.

It's "life proof" case. Now i'm not intentionally trying to drop my phone so I can't leave feedback there. However, I work in woodworking and constant saw dust, this case keeps all dust out and my phone functioning properly.
