Excellent case for phone protection but the biggest downfall to me was sometimes people said they had issues hearing me on the phone

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that you were having some trouble with your FRĒ case! Sometimes if you don't have that case installed just right, it can lead to some audio issues like you're experiencing. When you're putting your phone into that case, we recommend sliding your phone in speaker-end first, as that will help with proper alignment of the speakers, microphones, and proximity sensors. If you continue having issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team at 1-888-533-0735 or though the link below.

i loved lifeproof when it first came out. decided to try them out again for the iphone 12.... i am not a fan. Dust and grime gets inside the case and it is really hard to hear anyone.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your FRĒ case! It's certainly odd to hear that your case is allowing so much dust to get in. We'd recommend removing your case and performing another water test to ensure those seals are still intact. If your case doesn't pass its test, we'd be more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement case. Simply give us a call at 1-888-533-0735, and we can get you taken care of.

The charger cap broke within two weeks making the case non waterproof. I’ve owned many lifeproof cases and this is the first one that broke in this amount of time.

The Face ID feature doesn't work because the area around the cameras is obscured. I use Lifeproof cases with all of my phones, but this one has a serious flaw. I cleaned the screen and took other steps but it does not work. Lifeproof should fix this.

Hi Agan,
We're so sorry you're running into some trouble with the Face ID. The good news is we have some troubleshooting tips which should restore a seamless interaction.
Step 1: Open your case and remove your device.
Step 2: Lay the front of the case down on a flat hard surface with the screen protector surface facing down (the Silence Switch will be on your right).
Step 3: Centered near the top of the inside of the screen protector, you’ll see two small clear stickers. Using your fingernail, remove the sticker on the right (leave the left sticker in place).
Step 4: You may need to use some isopropol or rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip to remove glue residue left by the sticker you removed.
If you're still having trouble, we're here to help. Please feel free to contact through our LifeProof website.
Sincerely, lpcst

This is probably this worst design of a Iphone case that is on the market. Save your money. I dropped my phone from a height of less than 3 ft. the screen cracked. The cover screen for this case makes it almost impossible for your touch screen to work, especially in the corners.

This product is not worth the money! The little plastic circles on the screen protector prevent your Face ID from working. The inner gasket will keep popping out making it almost impossible to close your case. You also can’t use speakerphone with this case. I will never buy a life proof case again!

Honestly this used to be the case I went to every time I bought a new phone cu it was slim but still stylish . But recently they’ve changed the materials it’s made with and it’s disappointing it’s flimsy and don’t like how it looks or feels on my phone .
