The model I acquired was a free one through the purchase of the phone. It seemed good. After using them in the past and having no problems i was happy to get one. Low and behold this model was discontinued and I suspect to be defective because of being discontinued. About a month into use it was being used at the beach and had gotten into the phone and broke the phone.
All sorts of issues after that to replace the product.

Bought this, and did the required test prior to using. Went to Jamaica in May, and this case failed! Would not buy again.

Phone is well protected. But should be renamed "Soundproof", great with Bluetooth, cannot hear when handheld.

Hi Jimmy,
We’re glad that the FRE is taking care of your iPhone 6/6s Plus! We are sorry that it is making it difficult to hear though. This is not at all normal and we absolutely want to help out.
Typically, the quickest and most effective way to alleviate any audio issues with your LifeProof case will be to remove your device, blow some air through the speaker and microphone membranes on the case, and then re-install your phone with the bottom going in first.
If you find that the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to us at 1-855-419-7418, and we’ll be more than happy to set you up with a warranty claim for a replacement.

I've had the case for a month or so, and the hold button cover already broke. This is the 3rd Lifeproof case I've been through for the iPhone 6plus - just not impressed at all with the ones for the 6plus - the ones for the iPhone 5 are great - just not sure why the ones for the 6plus just don't seem to either work right or last for any length of time

I received this cover free with my Iphone and I was delighted because I did not have to buy one but it works horrible, it seals so tight I sound muffled and the other person on the other end of my phone conversation sounds like they are a million miles away. After the first week I took it off my phone.

Hi again Biggsd,
Do you have two FRE cases that are giving you audio trouble? We ask because we just responded to an identical review from you. If so, we apologize for both cases and we will be happy to help out in any way that we can. If taking the case off and blowing into the speaker and microphone membranes as we suggested in our first response does not work please give us a call. We can be reached at 1-855-419-7418.

Good Case

I've always kept an Otterbox on my phone but they are so heavy and hard to get in and out of your pocket. So I decided to try Lifeproof. I love how sleek and lightweight the case is and slides in and out of your pocket nice. Its not too heavy or bulky either. Only thing I don't like is when you talk on phone, others can't hear you very well. I get told all the time that it sounds like I am in a tunnel. If I take it out of the case, it doesn't do that. I didn't have that problem with Otterbox though.

I have own 2 of these cases and like the size, fit and features. The price is a little high. The major problem I have is the lower charge port access door have broken twice and will not stay closed or water proof and it can be hard for people to hear me.

The case is very nice but the screen does not lay flush with the phones screen and thus it does not pickup the touches very well.
