Broke my iPhone within an hour of use. I had to replace my phone. Otterbox's warranty doesn't cover your device, just the replacement of the case. Not worth the money!

We're very sorry to learn about your unfortunate experience with the Frē Series case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max. While we design our cases to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. We can't extend our warranty to the device itself, as we aren't the manufacturer. We'd be more than happy to help with a brand new case though. Please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like a new case.
Warm Regards, OtterBox Customer Support

We're saddened to hear about your Frē Series case frustrations. This case is designed to offer some awesome protection and be waterproof. When applying the case, we recommend starting from the bottom, and sliding your device snugly into the case. Once you have the device flush against the back of the case, snag that top piece, and starting at the bottom, begin snapping the top piece into the bottom piece. Once you have successfully done this, if you are still finding that your screen is not sitting closely to your device, we'd recommend opening the charge port door at the bottom of the case and then pressing the front of the case firmly against your chest or thigh, with the palm of your hand against the back of the case, to squeeze the air out. If that doesn't resolve the issue, give us a ring at 1-888-533-0735 and we would be happy to troubleshoot, or help you get a replacement case through our warranty! Cheers, OtterBox Customer Support

Hey there, James! We're sorry to hear the Frē Series case wasn't what you were hoping for. However, while your iPhone 14 Pro Max is water resistant, it is not waterproof. Our Frē Series case features a built-in screen protector, as well as covers for your charging port and speakers to ensure for complete waterproof protection. Please feel free to give our CS team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like to chat about this some more.

I would give this no stars but that’s not an option. Worst $100 ever spent, would not do it again. I work in construction. Sand got in my phone case. It started tearing apart. I can’t believe it. Unfortunately I’m not within my refund time, it only took a month for the case to get sand in it when it’s advertised as waterproof. How does sand get in it?

Hey there, Niko! We apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced with the Frē Series case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max. We do recommend the occasional case cleaning with mild soap and water to ensure the case remains free of any dirt or debris. As far as pricing goes, we think the cost of the unit is well worth the high-caliber protection, outstanding customer service, and limited lifetime warranty that all come along with the product. We appreciate you taking the time to share all this feedback with us though. Please feel free to give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if you'd like to chat about this some more.
Kindly, OtterBox Customer Support

Hello! With its unique waterproof nature, the FRE Series case does have some unique features. The screen protector look that you referenced is intentional and will not be noticeable when the case is on the device. We hope you enjoy the case and all of its amazing capabilities for all of life's adventures.

We're sorry to hear about your audio issues with our Frē Series case. We recommend you try re-seating the phone as that usually does the trick: take the phone out and blow into the microphone ports to clear out any built up dust. When you put the front half of the case on, put the bottom in first, and then push the top in. This will ensure it is aligned properly before you snap on the back. If this doesn't create astounding sound quality, give us a call and we would be happy to help you troubleshoot or offer you a replacement. Kindly, OtterBox Customer Support

For the most part the case does a great job at protecting my phone but the case durability can definitely use an upgrade. After 2 weeks of having, case has plenty of dings and scratches that doesn’t look very nice.

Hey, Danny! We're sorry for any trouble you've had with the Frē Series case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max. We're happy to hear the protection it offers has been up to your standards so far though. Are you using this case with one of our MagSafe chargers? Since we don't perform any third party testing, we're unable to guarantee the compatibility between our case and another company's charger. We'd be happy to dig a bit deeper into things with you. Please give our CS team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if you'd like to troubleshoot things further.
Best, OtterBox Customer Support

So sorry if you've been having some trouble with the Frē Series case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, we specifically designed this case to be seamlessly compatible with the unique features of your exact device, so this is a bit surprising to hear. If you're experiencing some sounds quality issues, we'd recommend reseating the case. Take the phone out and blow into the microphone ports to clear out any built up dust. When you put the front half of the case on, put the bottom in first, and then push the top in. This will ensure it is aligned properly before you snap on the back.
As far as those buttons go, if you're noticing some stiffness in the case, we find that things will loosen up a bit with some additional usage. If any of this continues though, we'd be more than happy to dig a bit deeper into thing in order to find the best path forward for you. Please don't hesitate to give our friendly Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or concerns.
