      Hi, Isaac!

      We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your FRĒ case! For the best results with that Face ID feature, we recommend cleaning the inside of the screen protector on your case. Additionally, we suggest that you ensure your device is updated to the most recent iOS to improve performance. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/contact-us

      Hi, Louis!

      We're sorry to hear about your frustration with the buttons on your FRĒ case! That case should be allowing you to press your buttons relatively easily, so it sounds like yours isn't living up to our expectations. The good news is, we have a great warranty, so we're more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement case. You can reach out to our CS team about that warranty here: https://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/contact-us

    This case is nice for keeping your phone protected but I have had to remove it every time I have needed to talk to someone because they can’t hear me and I can’t hear them. I would think for the amount of money spent on this case I would be able to hear or talk on my phone.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your FRĒ case! We've seen issues like this before when the case isn't installed just right. When you're putting that case on, be sure to slide your phone into the LifeProof speaker-end first as that helps to properly align the speakers and microphone. If that doesn't help, give us a ring at 1-888-533-0735, and we can get you helped out.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about the issues you've run into with your FRĒ cases! While not present in the majority of our cases, there are certain conditions that may cause this "rainbow effect" or Newtonian rings under the screen protector of your FRĒ case. Thankfully, we have some simple tips to help prevent this issue! Be sure to thoroughly clean your case and the screen of your phone with a microfiber cloth. Additionally, try to install your case in the driest place you can, as higher levels of humidity can be the source of this effect.

      As for that damaged port door, we have a great warranty, so please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/support

    I was a little disappointed that I purchased this curbside pickup as I was headed out of town. It was used apparently but I still paid full price. The rubber seals were broken out of place. I don’t know if was quality of build or if it was damage from another user before it was returned.

    Unlike previous Lifeproof iPhone cases, this one is not as well designed. The main readon for this is that the knob on it that turns on and off the phone’s ringer is awkward to use. The user has to rotate the knob to activate the ringer switch. The knob does not always maneuver the switch.

      Hi opngate,

      We're bummed to hear this FRĒ case didn't work out for you! For future reference, if you air out your case in the driest room of your house and wipe it down with a microfiber cloth, those air bubbles should disappear. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at 1-888-533-0735 and we'd love to chat!

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear that your FRĒ case has been causing you some issues. We do have some troubleshooting tips that might help though! When you install your case, make sure you're thoroughly cleaning off the screen of the phone and inside of the case prior to installation, preferably with a microfiber cloth. Additionally, we see these issues arise when installing the case in a more humid environment, so make sure that the case is being installed in the driest place you can find.

      As for the mute switch, when you're installing your case, we suggest trying out that dial a few times before putting on the back of the case. This will help you see if the case is properly lined up. If that still isn't helping, give us a ring at 1-888-533-0735, and we'd be more than happy to see if we can get you taken care of with some additional troubleshooting tips or a replacement case if necessary.

    Bubbles on the screen hard to hear people on the phone, poor design and hard to open charger port. I would not suggest this product. Very unhappy. I have previously owned three lifeproof cases and have been extremely happy with them. Life proof really dropped the ball on this design however. Big bubbles on the screen and hard to open charging port along with a poor sounding audio. Would not buy again. Disappointed for how much money I spent.

    So I thought returns had been extended due to COVID-19. Now my item says non returnable, this case is not worth the money I paid for it, the gray oring seal at charging port fell out at some point, which basically makes the case useless, extremely unhappy and would like to swap it out but we’ll see how much Best Buy stands behind the products they sell.
