Protects but...
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best cases to protect your cell but does not last with constant use. Will not last the 12 months and good luck trying to get lifeproof to honor lifetime warranty.

Good iPhone Case, but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked this case however for the price-point it seems like it should be better made. I ended up returning it and going with one of the slimmer OtterBox cases as their build is much, much better.

Posted .Hi Frank,
We're sorry to see that you're feeling slightly disappointed in this FRĒ series! Our cases are not deliberately designed to be indestructible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise damage your device. So as long as your iPhone is still doing okay, that's still a win in our books! We're glad that you already have a replacement headed your way, and if you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-888-533-0735. We're always happy to chat!
Best,
LifeProof Customer Service Team

Good product but Lifeproof denied warranty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you do not buy Lifeproof from Verizon you do not get the 1 year Total Waterproof protection to replace your damaged phone which is ironic since that is the selling point of the product. I wished I had known that before buying at Bestbuy. Lifeproof customer service had no sympathy when I inquired about the TWP warranty after my purchase & was actually quite rude. Why can't Lifeproof reveal that on the outside label of the box instead of inside the box in the fine print after the purchase? Realize what you are getting into before your purchase!

Leaks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought two Lifeproof Fre cases, one for each kid. We tested the case in water before putting it on the phone and found no leaks. About two weeks later, the phone case allowed water throigh the top of the case and the phone was damaged. Lifeproof will send you a replacement case for a fee. Of course, the phone is already damaged at this point. Thankfully, we were able to get a refund at Best Buy. The other case is doing fine. Oh, also difficult to get the case on without ending up with rainbowing on the screen.

Not what they used to be

Excellent Protection But...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This case does a great job of protecting the phone, but it seems to degrade photo quality. Especially when taking pictures towards a light source.

Not sturdy enough to be called 'Lifeproof'
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is actually the 3rd 'Lifeproof' case that I have purchased for my iPhones. I only bought this case as it was on sale. These cases are NOT 'Lifeproof', far from it. The last case cracked and the protective screen cover peeled off, and I NEVER dropped the case or got it wet. This case was not even a year old The warranty is basically nonexistent. I will never pay full price for this product. There are better cases out there.

terrible front plastic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the overall case just feels cheap. the front plastic though is awful, there is a clear gap between the screen and the plastic causing we to have to double tap sometimes. it tends to stick. it also looks like it lowers the screen image because of the bad front. i do not like it at all.

Great case and does what it advertised for.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite being a good case, its durability is not that great as the sound on and off button has ripped open only after a few months.

Good Case But...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does a good job keeping the phone safe, but since the lens is covered I think the photo quality is reduced...sort of hazy.

Doeant do what it's supposed to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this case after owning a lifeproof case in the past. I've had it for a little over a month. I took it with me when I was sitting in low water and when I looked at my phone the case had water in it and my IPhone was wet. The case was completely closed, so it really made me upset to see that it was a wasted $80. Luckily my phone dried up, but now I can't take videos or photos around water. Very disappointed.
