    For $80 I thought this case would last a lot longer thank it did. The design is terrible. There is a plastic little tiny switch to turn the sound on and off your phone. You can barely get to it and turn it. It wasn’t worth the trouble. Also the case scratched very easily.

      Dear stacey,

      We genuinely apologize that your NËXT series seemed to struggle to work seamlessly with the iPhone mute switch! Typically, this sort of issue can actually be fixed instantly with some alignment troubleshooting. To start, we would recommend removing the case and re-installing it, lining up that function perfectly before focusing on the rest of the edges. If that doesn’t do the trick, just let us know, and we’ll be happy to help!

      As for the cosmetic complications, while surface-level scratches won't affect the protective abilities of the unit, we completely understand why this would be disappointing. If this gets just too frustrating, our friendly representatives will gladly assist you with a warranty claim, so please feel welcome to contact them at 1-888-533-0735. They'll send over a sleek new replacement case in practically no time at all!

      Sincerely,
      LifeProof Customer Service Team Lifeproof

    Returned this case 30 min after I purchased it. The toggle switch does not line up when u put the phone in the case so the case doesn’t even shut. And from the little time I held it there were fingerprints all over it. Waste of money. Save time and get the UAG

However, we also certainly understand your decision to go down a different path, and we sincerely hope that this experience does not turn you away from our protective options forever. If you have any future questions or comments, please feel welcome to reach out to us at 1-888-533-0735, and we'll always do what we can to help out!

      Hi sdnkpowell,

      We're sorry to see that you've been experiencing some bad luck with the NËXT series! While our cases are pretty tough, they aren't necessarily indestructible, and can sometimes take damage depending on what they're exposed to on an everyday basis. Going forward, we might suggest taking a look at our FRĒ series instead! Not only does the FRĒ provide waterproof protection, but it might just suit your lifestyle perfectly! If this sounds like a solution that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-888-533-0735, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

    Great Case but has a Flaw

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When I bought the case, I fell in love with it, but it came with one major flaw. The button to allow the phone to be put on Vibrate is covered in the case. So to have the ability to vibrate your phone you would have to take the phone out of the case. This is a major issue for me as that is the most used switch on all on my iPhones. If that doesn't bother you, then this is the perfect case as it shows off the new glass feature while also giving you a colored band, it also is very durable and protective.

    Garbage. Last lifeproof product I ever buy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had Lifeproof cases throughout the lifespan of my last phone. They would last 6-8months before the rubber had all worn away and completely torn off the sound switch - making it no longer waterproof. 6-8months was a little annoying and you’d fill out paperwork, pay $5 shipping, and wait two weeks - but at least they were good about replacing the case over and over without a fight...for a while. Supposed to be “free replacement cases for life” (hence the $100+ price I paid). 2 years into the phone, they had run out of replacement cases and it was “sorry about your luck”. They told me they would offer me a discount when I upgraded my phone and needed a new case. After some lengthy customer service conversations - they did offer me a discount on this case, because of my past experiences. Problem is - the discount didn’t even come close to the lowest prices I could find online. Again “sorry -that’s the best we can do”. Now for the specifics on this case: people who are giving good reviews - look at their dates. I guarantee that tide is going to strongly turn over time. Yes the case looks nice when new, without up close inspection anyway (although they tell you it is no longer waterproof). Near the charge port, where the two pieces of the shell merge, one side is so thin and flimsy - that it doesn’t seal completely to the other side of the case. It leaves a 1mm gap for water or whatever else to get in - right by the charge port- where you need the most protection. As someone else pointed out - the rubber cap for the charge port seems flimsy and I doubt it would hold up for very long. The biggest problem however, is the rubber “seal” all around the front face of the phone and the sides. At one month in, it was stretching out and coming loose all over the place. I can’t believe I spent $1000 on a phone - and I’m positive no one is more delicate with theirs than I am. I’m also a professional product designer. It’s not me, I assure you. Design is ok, but this is a very poorly engineered and manufactured product. It’s going to be big problem for Lifeproof, I would guess. I’m not even messing with their trade in program this time, unless they want to send me 10 units at a time - because they will each last for 1 month. Nah, not doing that either - too wasteful. Getting a refund and going with a different brand.

      Hey there RegularJoe,

      Thank you so much for your extensive and candid feedback! While we certainly understand your frustration at our discontinuation of your previous case, the limited lifetime warranty does have a few restrictions, and keeping pace with the device manufacturers is definitely a big one. Just as the future unfolds with the latest and greatest models, we too must follow suit and place our resources in support of the products leading the charge.

      We genuinely apologize that you felt that each of your cases didn't last as long as you expected - we don't specifically design our products to be indestructible, as their main purpose is device protection. As long as the phone is safe and sound, we always call that a win and typically follow up with a warranty replacement, if the option is available. Our friendly representatives are happy to do what they can to keep the protection at peak levels for as long as possible!

      As for your NËXT case, we're sorry to hear that it's not exactly what you were looking for to protect your iPhone X! The NËXT series is perfect for those who feel comfortable with the built-in water resistance of newer devices, and the case continues to keep the phone safe from intense drops, dirt, and snow. If, however, your heart is set on waterproof protection, we do still carry the FRĒ series case for the iPhone X. Feel free to check it out by following the link below, and if you have any additional LifeProof questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-888-533-0735. We'll always do what we can to provide assistance!
