Great case for the job I have. I work in Construction and mostly concrete and it’s always dusty easy to drop my phone and with this case it’s done showed me it’s worth having cause I’ve drop it and got it wet to so the water proof works also. Overall I’m super happy with this item.

The worst product ever!!! Company wouldnt respond, the case doesnt have a mark on it, yet it shattered, the screen and the camera underneath the case dropping on the ground from less than a foot from my car door. Never responded and is not marked on the box that, you must register item, in order for warranty to be honored. Totally disgusted.

Lifeproof was always the goto case in the past for iPhone protection. This was my 4th Lifeproof FRE case. It continues to offer a decent job of protecting the phone from low speed drops with the added moisture protection above what the new iPhones offer. However, the quality of Lifeproof FRE cases has declined from the first model I have owned, possibly because Otterbox bought the company. The materials aren't quite as rugged. Probably fine for most if you take care of it, but I find it somewhat disappointing considering the high price for these cases.

Hi Steve,
We're glad to hear that your iPhone feels ready to take on the world in the FRĒ series, and we apologize that you're feeling a little apprehensive about your most recent purchase! As new devices are released, we typically tend to update our case designs, which sometimes leads to a more streamlined style. While we understand that this can take some getting used to, rest assured that the cases are just as protective as ever! If you have any additional LifeProof questions, please feel free to call our friendly representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll be thrilled to help out!
Cheers, LifeProof Customer Service Team

My husband works in the construction industry and this is the only water resistant case that has really worked for him. It's protects the phone from damage when he drops it in slurry and puddles. The downside is that the screen protector doesn't really protect it like the glass screens do but if you use the glass screen with this case, it's too much coverage and the phone doesn't respond to touch well at all. Also, because the phone is encased, it's really difficult for people to hear him clearly - he comes across muffled.

LifeProof cases are some of the thinnest around. This does an exceptional job of keeping my phone protected from water and dust. It just survived a 3 ft drop onto pavement without a scratch. Makes it so I am not worried about my phone, regardless of where I need to use it. Doesn't impact sound quality as far as I could tell. Totally worth the money.

The case is a little more slender that the Otter Box case I had with my old phone. If I am correct, it is made by the same company. For my needs it is easily durable enough without becoming too bulky. It fits well in a shirt pocket if needed. If I was doing work like construction I would have considered a more durable case and perhaps something with a little more grip to it. But this is fine for most everyday/work situations. The case was easy to put on and stays put. The water resistant feature is comforting to have and I hope I never have to put it to the test. But it does look like it will do the job if needed. This was on sale at the time of the purchase but I would have paid the normal retail price if needed. I'm happy with the purchase.

This is the fourth LifeProof FRE case I have gotten. I got one for my iPhone 6. Then I got one for my iPhone 7 Plus when I upgraded. For my next update, I got the LifeProof FRE case for my iPhone 8. Then, I got one for my friend who has the iPhone 7. We love our LifeProof cases and cannot get enough of them! I ride horses and love the fact that I am able to use my phone even when it's raining outside. I babysit in the summer and have even taken underwater photos in the pool with the kids. These phone case are always reliable and add a fun aspect! The only downfall is sometimes the speakers for FaceTime and phone calls don't work as well because of the coverings, but it is manageable.

This is my second case, after almost 2 years on the first exact one. Had to buy new, because the rubber material along the edge of the case wore off. Bought the same case again, because it is a very good case:
Excellent protection: dropped phone several times - not a scratch.
Sound quality overall fine. Sometimes, people have complained that I sound muffled when I use speakerphone, and do not hold the phone right up to my mouth.
We live by the beach, and the case has withstood lots of sand and water - without any damage to the phone.

My life is non stop. I have three small kids ages 8 and under. My husband and I both work. Accidentally drops are a regular part of my life, unavoidable. While I have only had it a few weeks, it has similar strength to the otter box case I had for four years. I chose life proof for its water safety. No more heart attacks around splashes.
Pros to this over my (4-year-loved-it-really old) otter box:
Texture/weight:
slimmer, lighter, gentler on my hand than previous Commuter otter box.
It has a corner place for me to put a wristlet, which allows my keys, (wallet), and phone to be key chained together so I have a grab one and done when needed.
The bottom charger opening port clicks when secured in place, reassuring me that all is well.
I expected the home button to reject my (four year?) saved thumb print due to plastic interference. I can say with confidence that it accepts my thumb print without any issues.
Overall it was easy to put on my phone and all chargers plug in. No issues mechanically.
*learn from my mistake*
I accidentally ordered a warranty order: essentially reporting my case had a defect and I needed to send them mine/exchange for a new case. It was as easy as could be to call and fix it on the phone. Even on our third week of rain, many school closures, and immediate excitement of inclement weather school closer in THREE kids in 2nd grade and below!!! Thanks to customer service for kindly repeating the multiple times I could not hear her over, “SNOW DAY!!!”

This has been my go to case since otterbox stopped making a waterproof case. I’m a chef and the case has saved my phone from drops on the floor, in the sink and various other spills. I also keep my phone on me while surfing and snowboarding.

As usual, a case that fits my iPhone, like a thin glove... put it on and quit worrying about drops, nicks, spills, tumbling into water of 3’ for 30 minutes, snow, rain, etc.
Have been using Lifeproof cases since iPhone 3... can usually get several years of peace-of-mind, exception, last phone/case, 5s, lasted 7 years, till this upgrade. 7 more years?

I had a Life Proof case on my old iphone 6 and like the quality. It out lasted the 4 year old phone. This one fit my new Iphone SE 2020 perfectly. I like that the case is water resistant and comes with a glass cover. Good grip. Works just as expected. I will certainly buy a Life proof case again when I purchase my next upgrade.

Bought this in May 2018 for my daughter's Iphone8. It has protected it from broken screen and nicks and chips in the housing. This phone has been subjected to falling off bleachers, dropped in a puddle, and taken to the beach and left in the bottom of a sandy bag. The four star rating is that sometimes my daughter sounds muffled on a call, and not all lightning usb cords fit the narrow channel the case allows for access.
