    If you are rough on phones then you need this case. I accidentally threw my phone the day after putting this on and nothing happened whatsoever. Highly recommended.

    Totally sealed! Perfect for all the COVID-19 phone cleanings! Charger port and silent button is a little hard for me to operate but others in my house have no problem.

    When phone is on vibrate, case seems to block vibration so notifications are missed.

    This phone loses service. Has times when you cannot make calls or receive them. Phone screen will say called failed while trying to make a call. When this happens you have to go to settings and turn on airplane mode wait, then turn it off for phone to start making calls and receiving them again.

      Hi there,

      We're so sorry you're running into some audio issues with this FRĒ case. Please try re-seating the phone as that usually does the trick: take the phone out and blow into the microphone ports to clear out any built up dust. When you put the front half of the case on, put the bottom in first, and then push the top in. This will ensure it is aligned properly before you snap on the back.

      If this still doesn't work, please don't hesitate to reach out to us on our LifeProof website, and we'll dive in with some more troubleshooting tips!

    Terrible Design

    This is the first life proof case I returned and will never use. Terrible design that is different from older generation Lifeproof cases. Hopefully they realize they made a Lifeproof case into an Otterbox case and switch back to the old styling.

    Do not get this. My 12 mini does not fit right. the screen protector isn't close enough to the phone to work right. And their customer service is not answering:chat, phone, or email

      Hi Willis,

      We're so sorry about this. We'd recommend opening the charge port door at the bottom of the case and then press the front of the case firmly against your chest or thigh, with the palm of your hand against the back of the case, to squeeze the air out. If that doesn't resolve the issue, please feel free to contact us through our website under "How Can We Help You?" and select "General Questions."
