However, some users experienced issues with Face ID functionality and a few reported concerns about the case's price and fit. The case's design is also a point of discussion, with some finding it sleek and others noting bulk.

LifeProof needs a redo

I have always liked LifeProof products. I just replaced my IPhone 5 with IPhone 12 and was eager to get the new case. After putting the new case on I realized that the charger port plug was not hinged like the previous case. It is all one piece and bends at the point where it is fastened to the case. I have had the case for less than a month and wear is already showing. I charge the phone every other day and am very careful with the plug, but I doubt it will last the summer. I guess I'll have to buy one of those charging pads to keep from breaking the plug. I would never have purchased this case if the packaging had allowed me to see how poor a design this was.

We appreciate the candid feedback on the charge port cover of the LifeProof FRĒ for iPhone 12, Bob, and we're sorry to hear it's not to your liking. Although wireless charging seems to be the wave of the future, we absolutely want to accommodate the use of traditional charger cables as well and will definitely share your concerns with our design team.
In the meantime, if your current case should become compromised at that spot, please feel welcome to touch base over on our official website and we'll be glad to help get you set up with a brand-new warranty replacement!

I love these cases, strong and impact resistant. The charger cap is nice since my port always gets dirty from working outside. My only complaint is that the screen protection seems to bulge out and hamper my typing, this means I have to beat the hell out of my screen whenever I want to say something.

Hi Jake,
We're so glad this FRĒ case has your vote of confidence protection-wise, but we're so sorry the screen seems to be trampolining. 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," and we'll dive in with some more troubleshooting tips. If needed, we can easily set up a warranty!

Yes it was waterproof. Unfortunately I was unable to consistently use the swipe. I was using lots of battery just trying to swipe to open up the phone or change apps. Finally gave up and took off the case.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your frustrations with your FRĒ case! We appreciate your feedback about the port cover, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. Keep in mind, using additional screen protection alongside a FRĒ case can lead to issues with the built-in screen sitting flush with your device. That being said, if you're not using any extra screen protection, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team at 1-888-533-0735, and we can get you helped out.

Usually I love lava of the lifeproof products. And as for the case it is great except when it comes to wireless charging capability. With the new iPhone 12 the case seems like is too thick on the backside of the phone which makes it spotty to charge.

Hi, David!
We appreciate your support and the love for our products. We're sorry to hear your having issues with wireless charging though. FRĒ does work with Qi wireless charging, however, due to the wide range of third party chargers that are available, we're unable to guarantee compatibility with all of them. We'd suggest using an Apple charger for the best experience! If you have any other questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-888-533-0735 and we'd be happy to chat further.

Enjoying the lifeproof product. I have to admit, this is my go to case. It allows me to protect it and still have functionality of the device. I think every phone gets one and it will continue that way for me.

I’ve used otter box in the past but when I upgraded to the iPhone 12 I changed my case. I never hold my phone, it goes straight into the case when bought. Keeping that warranty going.

No problem for first few months, then started to notice the camera couldn't focus. All my photos were fuzzy. The lens cover is extremely sensitive to scratching. I always put my phone in a dedicated spot in my purse to prevent my phone from getting scratched. Also, I clean my phone with a microfiber cloth. I googled the issue and found this to be a problem with many people who purchased this phone case. Aside from this issue, the case works great to protect my phone.

Hi Catharien,
We're so sorry you're having some mixed feelings about this FRĒ case. The good news is we have some troubleshooting tips which should restore a seamless FaceID 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 us at 1 (888) 533-0735
Best, lpcst

Excellent product. I have had several of these with previous iPhones. They have never disappointed. And BestBuy makes it easy with curbside pickup.
