This is a really good case but the screen gets scratched too easily kind of a bummer considering the price.

It is harder to use the touch screen when you have the shatterproof glass with it. They are not very compatible

HI dinaleann,
We are sorry for any confusion with the FRE case. True, we do not recommend that this case is used with an additional screen protector as it has one built in and having two may have a negative impact on the touchscreen sensitivity. If you ever have any LifeProof questions please feel free to give us a call at 1-888-533-0735. We are happy to help!

Hi DLFatMan,
We apologize that you've seen some FRĒ cases meet their end while they've been on the job! Although our cases are pretty tough, they are not necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they're engineered to absorb the brunt of any impacts that would otherwise jeopardize your device. As long as the phone is still intact, we'll call that a win and cut straight to the part where we get you into a brand-new warranty replacement! Please feel welcome to call our awesome representatives at any time at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll always be more than happy to help out!
Sincerely, LifeProof Customer Service Team

Hi Sweetpea!
Oh no, we're so sorry that you're having trouble using your iPhone charger with your FRE case! We find this bizarre, considering that we test our Apple products extensively with basic Apple accessories to ensure full functionality of the iPhone while it is in the case. We would love to get more details to investigate, so please give our LifeProof detectives a call at 1-888-533-0735! We'll solve this mystery in no time!

First of all you can't push the buttons on the screen due to the built in screen protector, the phone couldn't register me pressing buttons through the built in screen protector. Then I jumped in the pool wanting to try out the under water feature and the phone case leaked somehow!!

Dear Nicole,
We're sorry to hear that this iPhone SE FRĒ series is acting a bit stubborn! Occasionally, the rubber material on newer cases can be a bit resistant at first, but after some consistent use over time, it should start to feel more comfortable. If the problem persists, please feel welcome to call our handy representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll gladly find a quick fix!
Best, LifeProof Customer Service Team

Not to happy with this product. Unfortunately the covers for charging and plug in broke within 5 months or less, so than it was no longer waterproof. You cannot plug in any speakers to the phone because of the case, so you have to remove it to use it on certain speakers etc. Not at all LIfe Proof.

I started having problems with my phone. I couldn't use my thumbprint, the sound was so low I couldn't hear it; and I had to tap several times to get from screen to screen. I ordered an Otter Box at Amazon and now my phone works great.
