It sounds like your NUUD may be defective--it certainly shouldn't be coming loose on the sides. And while audio for the NUUD isn't quite as good as the FRE, it is certainly not what I would call bad--just a bit muted. You should contact LifeProof regarding this---they have a really good warranty for their products...
I just dropped my iphone 8 plus 256GB (red) and the camera housing fell off..!!!! I had it in case but it didn't cover the camera part.. so now I'm phone shopping :(
Hi Cait! Some of the areas can be a bit tighter to snap closed than others. You could try snapping that section closed earlier rather than later (starting on that side first, for example). That might help a bit...
Hi Lady Glitter Sparkles (love that name!). I have not--earlier versions of the NUUD had more audio issues (FRE has always been better in that regard than the NUUD in my experience), but the newest FRE and NUUD are really good in terms of audio quality. Again, FRE is slightly better than NUUD...
With LifeProof, you need to be super careful to buy the exact version for your iPhone, as small differences can affect the waterproofing of the case...
Hi Jeremiah! The FRE provides great all around protection for your phone--you get screen protection as well as overall waterproof protection and drop protection--really helpful if you are at the beach or somewhere with lots of scratch hazards for your screen. The NUUD is nice because you can touch your actual screen, and you get better optical clarity, but you have no protection for your iPhone's screen. Plus, I think the FRE has a better feel in the hand. If I were you, I would go with the FRE :) Thanks for watching!
I wouldn't get either for a plus model, they are bulky as it is thats why I went from a 6s plus to a regular 8. I have a lifeproof fre on my phone and I enjoy it
To me, the features on the Plus models are worth the extra size. I have the FRE on my 8 Plus right now, and I'm not planning to take it off until I have to review another 8 Plus case. I've really been enjoying it. But, each to his/her own. I know some people just can't stand the larger size phones...
I feel the same way. Went from a 7 plus to a iPhone X, I love how the phone is smaller and fits into my pocket and purse. I don’t need a massive phone, I have an iPad for that 😂
The NUUD will work with specially sized tempered glass screen protectors, such as the Alpha Glass version for the NUUD (different from the regular Alpha Glass). www.lifeproof.com/en-us/iphone-8-plus/alpha-glass-for-nuud-for-iphone-8-plus/lpla-nuud-alpha-glass-iphp17.html#start=5 I believe some third parties may also make special screen protectors for the NUUD, but I don't have any brands to give you. However, please keep in mind that the only reason that these tempered glass screen protectors work with the NUUD is that they are cut to fit the screen opening on the NUUD. They do not fit underneath the rim of the NUUD case. A normal sized tempered glass screen protector would go under the rim of the NUUD, making the phone just a little thicker than normal, and compromising the seal of the case--NOT a good idea :)
The Martini outside of the alpha glass that comes with the case no. Any other tempered glass will break the seal on the case. An option is a self-healing screen which as a more plasticized rubber style will not only prevent fracturing but will be able to be cut to size for your phone so as to not break the seal on the case. A place such as best buy(should have it) or ghost armour will have this item.
Hey Kristen! Excellent review. I just have a quick question. I’m considering getting the nüüd, but the fact that the screen is vulnerable scares me. On the other hand I don’t like plastic screen protectors. However, could I use a regular glass screen protector? Or will the case have a pro ole closing and sealing up?
Hi Lydia! You could always opt for the NUUD with the specially sized Alpha Glass tempered glass screen protector. It is a pretty expensive combo, but it will do what you want. The only thing is that because of the reduced size of the Alpha Glass for NUUD, it looks pretty odd if you use it without the NUUD case on. And you can't use the NUUD with a normal sized tempered glass screen protector because it will not fit properly. The special Alpha Glass for NUUD is sized to fit the exposed cut out of screen on the NUUD, so it doesn't have that problem. Good luck!
Definitely not. The NUUD case provides the waterproof protection--the optional tempered glass Alpha Glass screen protector protects against scratches and gives some additional impact protection, but has no effect on the waterproof protection at all. Thanks for watching!
The Tech Reviewer well it all started when I first bought their product the case was cracked and it was my fault but I did not keep my receipt so I couldn’t get my money back and I contacted the company and they were no help and came off rude so I will never go through them and I’ve came to love lifeproof thru the years because I’ve only had good experiences with them
I have the 8 plus but with a nuud case
Are you enjoying it so far?
The Tech Reviewer the phone yes, the case kinda , if u drop it the corners unattach from the case and if u make calls it makes ur audio sound bad

I have the 6 now I used to have the 6s Plus but then my cousin threw my phone and now I hate my life with this phone
The Fre version didn't interact well with my ip8+. Used same case on ip7 with no issues.
Is the back of the Nuud case slippery or does it have some grip
Some, but not tons...
I have the FRE in Purple,and Pink 😂 Looks good on my iPhone 8 rose gold!
Outstanding! So glad you are enjoying the case!
Does the case protect your phone if it fall because I know some cases if the phone fall it will shattered in the case
I just dropped my iphone 8 plus 256GB (red) and the camera housing fell off..!!!! I had it in case but it didn't cover the camera part.. so now I'm phone shopping :(
So sorry, Mike! That is really disappointing :(
Hi, i purchased the Fre.. it was quite hard closing around the volume area. do you have any idea why?
Hi Cait! Some of the areas can be a bit tighter to snap closed than others. You could try snapping that section closed earlier rather than later (starting on that side first, for example). That might help a bit...
Cait Blewett I had the same problem you just have to look and see if all the sides are close
Great video very helpful and before when I swim with my iPhone there’s water in camera now there is no water
Glad to hear--you don't want water in there!!
What about on FaceTime can people here u
And at the bottom of the case is one side of the case opened more then the other? not a lot open just a little
Not quite sure?
I need this for 10s
LifeProof is working on it :)
Hello, can you tell me if you've experienced trouble hearing phone calls while using this case?
Hi Lady Glitter Sparkles (love that name!). I have not--earlier versions of the NUUD had more audio issues (FRE has always been better in that regard than the NUUD in my experience), but the newest FRE and NUUD are really good in terms of audio quality. Again, FRE is slightly better than NUUD...
Does the lifeproof nuud for the iPhone 7 Plus fit the 8 plus?
With LifeProof, you need to be super careful to buy the exact version for your iPhone, as small differences can affect the waterproofing of the case...
I am getting an iPhone 7 Plus and can it work with those cases and I am thinking of getting the FRE: case should I get a case like that

Now I know what case to get thank you
Happy to help, Jeremiah!

not everyone has little hands like you. I love big cases on my 7+
I feel the same way. Went from a 7 plus to a iPhone X, I love how the phone is smaller and fits into my pocket and purse. I don’t need a massive phone, I have an iPad for that 😂
what color of the lifeproof case do you have?
Hi , can you review the Cygnett Orbit For the Iphone 7+/8+ case? Much appreciate if do so . And thanks for the reviews you had done in the past .
Thanks for the suggestion, Alvin...and thanks for watching!
Always looking forward to your new videos! And maybe i would like to request if u could do a zizo bolt series case for iphone x review? :)
Thanks, Mohamed. I'll see what I can do :) Thanks for watching!
Is there a lanyard hook?
No.
Which case is less bulky of the two?
FRE. The NUUD is a bit bulkier, for sure...
Hi, do you know if it’s possible to use the NUUD while having a tempered screen protector? Awesome video as usual btw

Great looking cases. Another awesome review!
Thanks, James! They are very nice cases indeed :)
Cool video
Thanks so much, Ari. Really appreciate your support!
amazing video
Thanks so much!!
The Tech Reviewer off course
my battery door fell off does anyone had this issue?
Battery door?

I love that morning glory color for the nüüd case! Do you think that it gets dirty easily because the sides are a light colored rubber?
Yes, that tends to be an issue with light colored rubbery materials. They attract dirt and are hard to clean once they get dirty...
God Bless
Thanks:)
I want this one but its so expensive
Well, you can often get them pretty discounted after the phone has been out for a while.Shop around...
$90 bucks?? I buy them for $35
Well, $90 is the MSRP, but sales and discounts are often possible, particularly after a model has been out for a while :)
Walmart?
Do you have to buy the NUUD screen protector for your phone to be water proof?
Definitely not. The NUUD case provides the waterproof protection--the optional tempered glass Alpha Glass screen protector protects against scratches and gives some additional impact protection, but has no effect on the waterproof protection at all. Thanks for watching!
Maria McCrea no! but if you want to have a screen protector, you can buy them on amazon!
Third
:)
The Tech Reviewer hi I have two question.This life proof is for iPhone 8 Plus but work with iPhone 7 Plus too????It s work good with apple dock???
Roberto Castillo yes i think it will work for the seven plus
No iphones are waterproof
True. Water resistant, but not waterproof...
First
Thanks :)
The Nuud is completely trash liferpoof fre is name brand
Why do you hate the NUUD so much? Had a bad experience with it?
The Tech Reviewer well it all started when I first bought their product the case was cracked and it was my fault but I did not keep my receipt so I couldn’t get my money back and I contacted the company and they were no help and came off rude so I will never go through them and I’ve came to love lifeproof thru the years because I’ve only had good experiences with them
Well, I'm sorry to hear about your cracked case--that's a real pain about the receipt...
