I am disabled and drop my phone a lot. If it were not for the OtterBox I would be able to keep my Apple phones and I love so much. I recommend this product because it offers extra protection

I like it. Not a lot. I bought it cuz I didn't want to have to install a screen protector and this one is "built-in". However, once the iPhone is in the case, you can see (from an angle) a kind of rainbow effect in certain parts of the screen, caused by parts of the screen protector not directly touching the phone display. Fortunately, it isn't noticeable while watching videos. I still like the case. It feels fairly protective of the phone. Best Buy had it on sale, so it was the purchase.

I read multiple reviews before I purchased this after seeing it on sale at Best Buy. I have had Lifeproof cases in the past and liked them well enough, so I decided to give this one a go. Most reviews mentioned the difficulty in hearing the caller while on a call and initially I didn't think this would be a problem for me since I usually have it connected to my vehicle Bluetooth or an earpiece. I didn't however realize that I actually use my phone more often than not, without a Bluetooth connection so this was the first negative for me.
The second negative was the feel of the case. It doesn't really have a "grippy" feel to it. It slipped out of my hands quite often to the point of it being annoying and frustrating.
The final negative was the lack of a belt clip holster. Because of the type of work I do, I prefer to have my phone attached to my belt. The clip that Lifeproof sells forces you to have the phone screen facing out (no privacy) and it is attached to the back of the phone using double sided tape. So for those times when I want to slip it in my pocket, I cant do that because the clip is attached.
The positives are the fact that it feels very protected and includes a screen protector. The case is pretty slim and lightweight and comes in a variety of different colors. All in all, I would recommend it for those who aren't bothered by the negatives listed in my review.
As I said, I was aware of most of these things by reading reviews, but still wanted to judge for myself. I

Hi Chris,
We appreciate your feedback! We are sorry that this FRE case is a bit too slippery for your comfort level, is dampening the sound and that you are not a fan of the LifeActiv Belt Clip.
True, the LifeActiv Belt Clip will have the phone screen facing out but only the actual mount is permanently attached to the case. The Quickmount Adaptor portion will only add 0.16 inches and will not hinder pocket use. The link below will take you to a video that goes over the LifeActiv system.

Sometimes muffled sound can be caused by dirt or debris on the audio vents. We suggest to check for dirt around those areas and if unclean to run water over the outside of the case (focusing on the audio vent areas), then shake the water off and pat it down dry. Do not stick any objects in the audio vents as this may damage those areas.
If the audio issue continues or if you ever have any LifeProof questions please do not hesitate to give us a call at 1-888-533-0735 and we will be happy to help!
Best, LifeProof Customer Service Team

The product is sleek and provides great protection. The only downside is that it sounds muffled to anyone on the other end of the phone. I imagine it's because of the waterproof feature. Still a good product.

Case works well to keep water and sand away from the phone. Power and sound volumes are a bit hard to press and get tactile feedback. Hopefully thiner materials around buttons don’t tear like my last case.

Hey Hiroshi!
We're excited to hear that the FRĒ is keeping your iPhone 7 Plus safe from sand and water! Sounds like there are some fun beach days in your future. We apologize that you've had issues with buttons in the past. Sometimes, the material on the sides of the case can be stubborn at first, but it normally loosens up after time and use. Additionally, if your FRĒ does happen to tear, like your last one, we have an awesome warranty and will be happy to replace it for you.
One thing to note is that we do not consider the iPhone 7 Plus FRĒ case to be compatible with the iPhone 8 Plus device. While it might fit okay, if it's not on the phone that it was specifically designed for, we cannot guarantee that the protection will be as outstanding as it should be. If you have any questions on this or anything else related to LifeProof, please feel free to call our support team at 1-888-533-0735!
Sincerely, LifeProof Customer Service Team

I refuse to use any other cover for my iPhone 7 Plus. Lifeproof is what it says & my phone has been thrown numerous times across the room after temper tantrums without a scratch!

After my other phone went in the drink and I lost it I hold never again not trust my tech to a protection measure. This case is amazing in how it protects and secured the phone.

Works just as well as it should. Less bulky than previous design. Couple problems though: I do not have a screen protector on but the screen protector on the case itself affects the touch sensitivity on the phone. Also, the case muffles the audio somewhat and if I'm on a call, some people have a hard time hearing me. Decided not to keep it because i found cheaper cases that work just the same. This case is great if you're totally clumsy and/or plan on going on lots of adventures

I have had many lifeprof cases. I like them because I am in need of the extra protection. I do not take it under water. The color is a little too bright for me, but it helps me not misplace the phone.

Great product. would not have a phone with out this type cover. Even though phones are water resistant this adds one more layer to that. plus it helps when the phone is dropped.

I use to think that the otter box defender case was the best case to protect your phones until I tried this case. This is the only case that I will buy to protect my phones.

The case protects the phone, but it also covers the speakers and it is hard to hear when using the speaker.

Lifeproof is continuously applying everything they learn from their customers and the customer service you get from the company is great as always. The only complaint is, while they added front facing speaker ports, they still direct most sound to the back of the phone, which is great if you are just listening to music with your phone face down on the table, otherwise it isn't all that great, but it's a tradeoff i guess.
