overall i appreciate the protection of these cases. as anticipated I've dropped my phone several times hard and hasn't hurt phone. The sound is a bit muffled and the feel of screen protecter and bubbly feel in edge gets annoying but it's way worth the protection.

This case is very sleek & doesn't pack any bulk. It doesn't take anything away from the sleekness of the S8+. I'm a girly girl so this pink fits my style. The fact that this case has a built-in screen protector was a big selling point. Some have said that the screen protector makes the phone difficult to use when texting but I haven't found that to be the case.

Waterproof seems to work well for splashing, haven't totally submerged. Pop sockets do not like to stick to the back due to the hard plastic. Speaker is compromised with this case. Listening ( music/ videos) as well as speaking ( if using speaker phone to talk, others have a difficult time hearing/ understsnding)
Screen sensor also effected to some degree, especially on edges.
If otterbox made a fully enclosed case for the S8+ , I would choose that. This is the next best option for protection.

My kids will only use Lifeproof cases for their phones. I find them a bit bulky but I think they feel they can abuse their phones more, knowing the Lifeproof is strong enough to bear the brunt of it.

This is my third LifeProof case. They offer amazing protection from life, drops, spills, and even submersion (we did the test). It is simple looking and not bulky. The port covers work well and are easy to access when you need to plug in. Wireless charging does work through the case. My only complaint is that the texture of the case does not lend itself to use with any adhesive ancillary product such as a pop socket or ring.

Definitely protects and worth the money. Only complaint is the screen protector , it does not lay flat on the screen so there is a tapping sound during typing. The gap between the screen protector and phone screen is extremely small , but enough to create a typing sound. To some this may not bother them, I am OCD ( one of my faults.) But over all I am extremely sacrificed with purchase and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a case to protect their investment.

I gave this a 5 star rating because it fit perfectly. I saw the reviews that gave it low stars because it didnt fit perfectly. They were correct (see the review for the one I got my wife). But i was fortunate that the first one i got worked well. It is truly a great case if you can find one that fits well.

This is a pretty good case. The only issues that I have with it was the fact that a air bubble would appear on the screen. The sound quality is a little off as well .

Did you happen to order your FRĒ series case with a side of air bubbles? We didn't think so, either!

Our super-hero representatives are here to save the day with a fearless warranty claim and some daring troubleshooting tricks. Just give them a ring at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll rescue that case faster than a speeding bullet!

The Lifeproof case has already protected my phone well in multiple drops and spills. Overall, the case fits well and does the job, but the screen protection leaves a bit of space so the touch sensitivity is slightly impacted. I would have loved better color options but the black is simple and unobtrusive. Getting a Pop Socket to stick is challenging given the texture of the case.

The case seems sturdy and rugged, but the screen protector seems a little loose. Sometimes have to push down extra hard to make sure it recognizes the push.

Perfect for the Galaxy 8+, it offers complete protection. Pretty color for my daughter, functional and strong. It was well worth the price.

Case fits snug. Screen protector affects screen response sensitivity. Material is a plastic which doesn't provide much comfort for grip

Does everything it says. My only issue is that the screen protector sits up off of the screen so it makes some swiping kinda clunky.

We got a good deal on the case. Also matches my boyfriend's shoes. Sturdy case which I'm very impressed with and hoping it will last the life of the phone great protective screen too. And much thinner than the old one more slim

This is my 2nd Lifeproof case. The 1st was on my Samsung S5. That case protected my phone from 2 drops in excess of 15 feet to concrete and never leaked a drop of water in it's 3+ years of use. The new case passed my water test. Immerse empty assembled case at room temperature into a pan of boiling water and let it sit for 4 hours. The case works well with the S8's "edge" areas. I was expecting poor performance because of the hard cover. Yes these cases aren't cheap, but they are worth every dollar with an expensive phone.

I purchased the S8+ and was very disappointed with the fact that LifeProof had not released a case for it. So I ended up having to wait. Was very surprised at the cost of it! Honestly it is FAR to expensive in my opinion. I also with that they had more then just 2 color options. But either way it does a great job at protecting my phone.

I purchased this protective case for my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and I'm glad that I did! This case protected my phone after dropping it onto my concrete driveway! I took the phone out to inspect it for damages to the phone and screen, remarkable there were NONE! The waterproof feature works as well, I found this out after clumsily knocking the phone into the dish water in the kitchen sink. GLAD that I made this purchase, well worth the price.
