Exceeded my expectation. Perfect fit. Didn’t have it on for a day and I dropped the phone. No cracks, nothing broken so it paid for itself within 24 hrs. I added a strap which I highly recommend. Easy then to handle with the strap.

Great color. Fits 8plus perfectly. Love the secure, strong protection as well as the sleek design. If you don’t like the bulky cases, this case is for you. Just wish they came with belt holsters.

I’m a bit of a case nut. I find myself switching around to different ones every few months. But the cost of LifeProof has always kept me away. I had one years ago and just didn’t like it. Seal on the screen was terrible, and trying to use headphones was a chore. Because of that I’ve been an Otterbox person for the most part.
But this case has made me a LifeProof convert. The screen protector feels nonexistent, the case isn’t ridiculously bulky, and it feels good in your hands. It was money well spent. Kind of wish I did it sooner. The one thing I don’t like, the color options. They try to make them cool and different, but just give us normal stuff. I get they try to pretend it’s snowboarders and surfers who use them, but really it’s regular people who work in construction or in a warehouse. Keep it simple.

This case gives your phone a much lighter and compact feel as opposed to an Otterbox case. The screen cover is better quality but still poor protection against impact.
I haven’t tested the case for leakage, but dust contamination with the Otterbox was huge on my OCD meter and the Lifeproof case is virtually dust free once the phone is enclosed.
Overal, I’d give the case 5 stars if it afforded better screen protection but as-is it’s a great case.

My husband is a truck driver and is in and out of his semi all day. I always worried about him dropping his phone and having to buy another one. But this case is fantastic he has dropped the phone a couple times and not once has it broken or the glass shattered. I also love the fact that it protects it from rain snow and especially dust. Every time we trade our phones in and they take them out of the case, they look brand new. I would recommend this case for anyone that is on the go and wants to protect their phone from everyday use or the elements.

Case is excellent for protecting my iPhone 7 Plus from breaking when dropped and fluids. It does muffle sound so I open the charging port when talking to people and that helps! The plastic screen protector is good for texting thru, but gets scratched easily. I want to find a screen protector that I can change occasionally to keep a clear screen. My last LifeProof case lasted 4 years then started to fall apart.

We bought this for a brand new iPhone 8 Plus used by our teenager. Great case for an expensive phone. The only drawback is slightly muffled sound because of the tight water-proof fit but a headset fixes that.

After trying many other phone cases this seems to be the only one that actually protects the phone. I work in construction and the few other cases I tried couldn’t keep all the dirt and dust out. I always had particles get in under the screen protector and dirt particles would build up around the camera lens. This is the only case I’ve found that keeps EVERYTHING out! It’s even become more affordable than when they first appeared on the market. For all my phones and future phones this will be my go to.

I wanted this lifeproof case as soon as I saw they were coming out with this color. It took me forever to find somewhere that had it in stalk but when I did find somewhere I didn't hesitate. Best case for someone who drops their phone constantly (i.e me)

Life proof case iPhone 8 plus

We recently upgraded our iPhones. I needed a new case. On my old iPhone I had a Lifeproof case. When we upgraded our phones, I wanted to get a case on it ASAP before I dropped it. My husband bought me an Otterbox case. I hated the otterbox case because no matter how many times I took the case off to get the fuzz off the screen, it would end up back on it. It was extremely annoying. I finally got fed up and ordered a Lifeproof case for it. I did online purchase with pick up in store. So far, I love the case. No more fuzz and my phone is better protected. With our old phones with cases, our phones were never damaged. I know I will get the same quality with the new Lifeproof case. I would highly recommend this case especially if you are prone to dropping your phone.

Fairly lightweight case kept phone water free during island vacation. Fully encases phone. No need for screen protector. Dropped many times and no damage at all. Case has slight texture which allows better “traction” when holding phone. Light color dirties quick but easily cleaned. Perfect to protect phone.

Most cases that provide good protection add too much bulk and weight. With this case you won't have that problem.

This is a great case overall. It provides protection from drops, spills, submergence (to an extent), dust, etc...
If you are taking the case underwater, make sure to test the case before hand. There is a leaflet inside describing the actions to take.
My son loves it. We recently upgraded him from the aging iPhone 5s to the iPhone 7 plus. His 5s had the lifeproof fre case on it as well, and he was super excited that it is the same exact color as his older smaller version. Being 10 years old, he puts his phone through a lot. With lifeproof cases, I am reassured that he wont break his device soon.
The reason for the missing star, the protective covering over the camera, flash, and fingerprint reader feel flimsy. He was picking at the flash cover and it broke after one day. He knows not to take it in the water now, but he never did that sort of thing anyway. I just wish it was more durable.

I used this in the pool for 7 days straight and did not have any issues. It was great to have my phone protected while reading a book or listening to music. It was dropped into the pool a few times too and worked perfectly. The color is super cute and vibrant too.

Good case but could be better

I find it strange that the night life color which I bought was one of the nicer color combos and for whatever reason half the price of the other colors.
Build quality is not so good, while the main housing is strong the back cover is not. it is very thin and week. I had a problem with this case where it would not snap closed on the bottom and it failed the water test. I called the company who wanted a charge to replace it so I took it back to BestBuy for a exchange since I just purchased the item.
The new replacement does close better and passed the water test. The sound is a bit muffled but that is to be expected with a water proof case but the sound still sounds good and people have no problems hearing me either on speaker phone or held to my face.
The display does have a matted look to it because of the screen protection but that is a tradeoff with screen covers other then some of the glass ones. The color pop you get with the phone out of the case is gone for sure but I'm fine with that. If you don't want the loss of color you can get the model with no screen protection built in and use the glass overlay they sell with it.

As always this is a fantastic one and done case for your phone. I have used a life proof on all my phones and wouldn’t trade it for anything but a new life proof. Best case for anything and everything. For the iPhone 8 Plus the sound is phenomenal. Normal waterproof cases muffle sound but you can’t tell a difference with this case. The engineers at life proof have perfected water resistant and audio pass through together.

I would highly recommend this case to everyone! This case is very durable and lives up to expectations. I've never had any problems with water damage or screen cracking with these cases. They don't make your phone bulky either.

My wife gave me a Life proof case for Christmas 2019. On 23 Dec unbeknownst to me, my phone fell out of my pocket into a water poodle in a parking lot. When I discovered that my phone was missing, we called it and the store manager answered. She told us a lady had picked the phone up out of water and turned d it in. The phone/case had also been run over by a vehicle. The clear front was scarred and unusable, but the phone worked. One of the cameras was broken and had to be replaced, otherwise, the phone was perfect. I immediately purchased a replacement Lifeproof case.
