The case is very sturdy, however the film covering the face is really flimsy. I've had the case on about one week and the film is already scratched. I'm not convinced this cover would protect my phone should I drop it in water.

The case fits well and assists with grip of slippery phone. The edge does seem a bit tricky to manage with the cover. The dexterity is a bit more difficult. These are fair trades for the added protection.

I have always bought Lifeproof cases ever since I started having nieces and nephews that liked to drop phones in places you REALLY don't want your phone dropped. However, now I am using it at more places. It is really handy when you go to the beach or the lake or just your backyard pool.

I've bought around ten of these cases on different iPhone and and a s8. I've been using them myself for a years and give them as gifts. They protect your phone well, although on my iPhones, the case would create a slight vibration noise from the earphone on calls. On my s8 case there was a defect where the buttons wouldn't line up so I couldn't hit volume up or down on the side. I took it back to best buy and got a replacement without issue.
The best part of these cases is the lifetime warranty. When you scratch it or wear it out, you just go to Lifeproof's site for a replacement. Theyve only ever asked me for a case's serial number (usually placed on the inside on the case itself), the date of purchase, and 4.99$ shipping and handling.

I purchased this case for my S8 because I like to have my screen covered and prefer to not stick anything to my screen. I like the case. It is compact and fits well but the button for the power has already broke. If you push the case power button, then nothing happens which is a pain if you want to turn off or restart your phone. It broke after only 5 months of use. I would have purchased an otter box case if it had a screen cover for my phone. I never had this issue with otter box.

this case is very protective for the phone. although with time, the buttons no longer work. First within a year, there is no a way to adjust the volume. Need to take the case off to adjust the volume.
If the volume is put up, it automatically within a few days goes silent. But sounds/ringers for calls is audible. Now within two years, can no longer take screen shots. Usually leave the volume down and if need to hear anything (video, apps, etc) recommend using earphones. Although now am looking for another protective case for this phone.

The case fits great. The entire phone plus case still feels slim and I am sure will be well protected. There is a slight gap between the screen protector and screen, so there is the tapping feel, but swiping is fine. There is sufficient grip on the sides to hold the phone, not slippery.

This Lifeproof case is the first one that I've purchased for myself. I like the way it keeps the phone thin and sleek. This is the only name brand case that comes with the extra built in screen protector and adds extra protection being waterproof, even though the phone is waterproof.

I have only had this case for about a month, but so far it seems to be pretty durable. It passed the water submersion test with flying colors. Absolutely no moisture got in. I haven't dropped the phone yet, so we'll see how that goes when it does happen. So far a great buy.

It is a good case for the phone. The top volume button broke and when I called customer service they shipped a new case. Be prepared to pay shipping for the replacement.

I love the built in screen protector. The case is lightweight, but seems durable. There were no leaks or moisture inside of the case when we did the test submerge before installing the phone. I have only had the case for about a month, so we will see how it lasts.
