I have ordered 3 waterproof phone protectors from 3 different companies on Amazon I was taking their customer reviews as far as making my decision eh! So this time be decided to look into them thank you for this video I am probably going lifeproof but I have an iPhone 7 not plus looking into it more just incase there’s a difference between sound quality but doesn’t seem like it thanks again have a good one
I fixed the rain bowing by installing an invisible shield screen protector on the phone and then putting the lifeproof case back on. I’m not sure why it helped but the color is gone. Also it tightened up the fit between the lifeprooof screen protector and the phone.
Glad it helped, but to my knowledge, LifeProof does not recommend putting the FRE on with a screen protector. It might negatively affect the waterproofing...
Just got this case, my only issues were the mute switch is very difficult to actuate and the bottom speaker/mic ports have some plastic bits from molding. Got it for about $20 so I can’t really complain, would never the retail price.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Khris. LifeProof has improved the audio quality of the FRE over time, but it is still not quite as good as that of a non waterproof case. However, many people are willing to make a small audio quality compromise to get the protection the FRE provides. If your audio quality is awful, however, I would say that there was something wrong with both the original and replacement cases. In my experience, it should be slightly diminished, but not awful...
In my experience thenre is nothing like Lifeproof Fre out in the market. The screen protector makes a lot of sense despite the ctyings of fans pushing for the Nüüd. I fyou want security 100% the Fre is a no brainer
The FRE is a great case. When I go to the beach, I reach for the FRE, not the NUUD. The NUUD is cool, but the lack of screen protection is a deal killer for the beach. Sand is death to screens!
I've always had lifeproofs for my iPhones so when I got my 7 plus I wanted one. Usually I can buy them in my area but the 7 plus case is extinct. I had to order from Amazon. This case looks much better then the Nuud!
Note: It does retail for 89.99 from Lifeproof but if you do not live in the states DO NOT buy it. I live in Canada and that case would have cost me $212 with shipping and USD being converted to CAD. I bought mine from the lifeproof Amazon seller for a more reasonable price!
I got this same case(but for the iphone7/8/SE 2nd gen) and my case doesn’t have the things for the speakers on the bottom only the little black ones on the front where the speakers should be it’s just plastic and it doesn’t look like the case back and charging port door completely fits together correctly, I got it off of amazon for 60$ with prime and I have no warranty with the case with no stickers on the inside of the case. Do you think that the case is probably a fake? Beside the price it doesn’t really seem to have any of the red flags from the LifeProof website that it would be fake
Hasan Naqvi I've had this case for my iPhone 6 since I bought it the week they came out. I also had that issue with the silent button so I no longer use it. Instead you can push the home button three times quickly and it brings up the mute button on screen. Other than this it's a fantastic case , I work in construction and 90% of my work is outdoors yet my phone after two and a half years is spotless.
I wonder if you got a defective one? I would characterize the mute switch as stiff, but not that hard to operate. You might want to contact LifeProof...
I had a problem with mine too for the 6. I went to the store I bought it from and they told me it's a "push in and switch" kind of thing. You have to put pressure on it to use the switch. It worked fine for me after finding out. It eventually loosened up.
great case for your phone for the summer when you are going to the pool and the beach. Winter months I like to keep a leather case on it with flip front.
It's a great case overall, however, whenever I use it without my airpods or the standard headset, people on the other end keeps complaining that they can't hear me :(
R G Slot Wins it's just their crappy design. About the only thing you can do is get a different case. The pelican marine and the fre on my I phone 6 did the same thing. For some stupid reason they both have that annoying air gap between them. I may go with the nud and a glass screen protector this time.
I just found you , I watched u like a few moths ago for a otter box and u helped me a lot. Thanks for that ,now I’m watching this life proof bc ... I kinda want it🤣
I really like the dark blue and the orange but not so much the light blue so went for all black - got a great deal on the legit case so I'll probably just keep if around for the pool or beach times
Dream you need to understand the difference between water proof or water resistance. It's dumb you think it'd be water proof. Put yours in water for 30 minutes honey and there your phone goes
Actually, it might last 30 minutes, as it is rated for 30 minutes at 1 meter deep. The LifeProof case, however, is rated for 60 minutes at 2 meters in depth, so you have double the protection...
I have had a Fre case for the iPhone 5, 5S, 6 Plus, 6S Plus and now the 7 Plus and I can tell you, Lifeproof has made leaps and bounds since their 4S/5 model. The audio is fantastic now, almost no issues with sound but with ANY waterproof case, you are going to suffer some kind of audio loss. You can't expect a fully enclosed, waterproof case to perform like a bare iPhone. Overall, the Lifeproof is the best fully protective case on the market!
Gonna order one today on Amazon, what's your thoughts on the colors? Is the blue pretty in person? The stock pics on Amazon are so-so. This will be my first life proof case!!!!!
Hi Fernando. No, this case has a built in screen protector and is not designed to work with another screen protector in addition to that. Using it with one may cause the case to lose some or all of its waterproof protection...
I wouldn't advise it. Any difference in the thickness of the phone might affect how the phone case closes up, and how effective the watertight seals are...
+pinoyakogwapo mac No, the glass screen protector from my previous review was removed. I don't think it is a good idea to have another screen protector installed when using the FRE.
Great 👍 case for traveling. The build quality is superb. Would I use it on a day to day basis? Probably not but it will provide that extra security when you know you need it.
I’ve had four Lifeproof Fré for several iPhones, love them. But the iPhone 7 version comes with a fuzzy/blurry front camera lens shield that makes photos look crappy. Anyone who know to fix that issue? Or had the same problem?
I´m waiting for Lifeproof to answer, I contacted the a month ago and no response. Contacted them again today. As I said, the previous models I´ve had were no problem, the problem is only on the iPhone 7 LifeProof Fré case.
It doesn't have as good screen clarity as a tempered glass screen protector, but I found I got used to it really quickly and didn't find it bothersome. LifeProof just came out with a version of the NUUD with a glass screen protector, however, and I'll be reviewing that in the next week. Very intrigued by that option...
I been using otter box defender for years I have it on my 7plus the only thing I hate about it is that dust goes in easily so every once a week i have to clean it! I am going to have to get this life proof case I never had one would u recommend me this? What's ur favorite case nice review thanks
I think that the LifeProof is great against dust. It's not as tough in some ways as the Defender, but it offers 6 ft drop protection and it sounds like you really need the dust protection it provides. Thanks for watching!
I prefer the FRE overall, because it is easier to get on and off your iPhone and is just generally more pleasing, but I haven't reviewed the Catalyst for the 7 Plus, only the 6s Plus, so they may have made some important improvements that I am unaware of...
Great review. I have this case, but the screen just kills it for me. I will say the sound is way better and people can actually hear me. Same issue when on speaker. But just got the Thule x4 and love it. Great review!! And what would you say is your top iPhone 7 or 7 plus case?
The X4 is indeed a great case, but I tend to prefer the combo of the X3 plus a glass screen protector because I just prefer the feel of glass over plastic. In terms of my favorite cases, I tend to gravitate toward the Presidio Grip (which is what I have on my phone right now) and the OtterBox Symmetry. The UAG Monarch is also a really nice case...
Hi It looks great to protect our 7 plus. just want to know that if we put this case into i phone7 plus, how about sound system defects or not the reason is that phone is covered by lifeproof free case. thx. waiting ur explanation asap.
Hi cristin. Just purchased a fre for an iPhone 7. The right bottom corner of my case doesn’t properly close wich leaves water in. I bought it from Vodacom, and Vodacom won’t return it. I would appreciate any tips
There's no doubt that intergrated screen protectors take away from having the best experience. I wouldn't use the Fre daily but when I'm on vacation at the shore probably a good idea.
Can anyone tell me, if the charger "latch" is supposed too be really easy too open! I just bought one yesterday, and my latch will pop open by itself sometimes, or I can just smash the back of it and it'll open.. I know all the other lifeproof cases are hard too open.. just worried about putting it in the water!!
My absolute favorite case is the Magpul Bump case. The Field case is ok but I prefer the Bump. Called Magpul today and they said a couple of weeks for the Field and are not sure about the Bump. I know the Magpul is hard to compare to other cases. What I'm looking for is drop protection and I don't like cases with inter grated screen protectors even a little bit. Have a Zagg Glass screen protector. You have any suggestions for a comparable case to the Magpul Bump? Thanks!
Great news on the Field Case...I hope they come out with both the 7 and the 7 Plus sizes. As far as the Bump is concerned, I've never actually seen the case...only heard about it. It sounds great, but I've never looked into it further because Magpul has never made it for the Plus version of the iPhones. Therefore, sadly, I can't really give you any comparable case suggestions...sorry!
+Mike Ci iPhone 7/7 Plus is rated for 1 meter for 30 minutes duration, so this doubles the coverage. Besides, despite the water resistance of the iPhone 7 Plus, water damage still isn't covered under the apple warranty, so it is good to be extra safe...
Does anybody have problems with the audio ? Every one I talk to says they can’t hear me. I tried cleaning the case out an everything else still have the same problem !!! Anyone know how to fix that??
Hunter Kirkpatrick from my understanding you aren't supposed to have anything extra on your phone when you use this case. That means screen protectors as well.
I completely agree with @Onemorechance12. You aren't supposed to have any screen protectors or skins on the phone--it could compromise the waterproofness of the case...
I have this case for the iPhone 7+. What bothers me is that the bottom of the phone doesn't fit all the way to the screen protector so the home button area on the case never fully touches the home button on my phone so you always see where it separated like there is an air bubble under the home button. Any suggestions?
There is a small air gap between the screen protector and the phone, but it sounds like yours is a bit larger than mine. Mine definitely touches the home button, although it doesn't adhere to it over the entire home button, just in one spot. Does the home button work OK?
The Tech Reviewer yes the home button works fine. It's just that the home button area on the screen protector doesn't touch the whole button cause the bottom of the phone doesn't go far enough into the case and the screen protector is raised more on the bottom cause the bottom of the case gets slightly wider at the bottom. So instead of designing the screen protector to fit over the entire home button and be flush on the phone they made the screen protector match the case and not the phone.
I personally prefer the FRE to the NUUD, but I haven't reviewed the very latest models for the 8 Plus and X. I will be doing that soon, however, so stay tuned!
Hi in other words I am confused on whether I buy the fre or nude what's your advice for me.. because I am mainly using this because it covers 360 degree but as you said nude is releasing a version with a glass compatible version so I am confused
Hi! I'm thinking about getting a FRE for the 7 plus although the fre had the annoying bump near the front facing camera, is that gone now? Would you recommend the fre or nuud for the 7 plus? Thankyou :)
I'm not sure which bump you mean? And as far as the NUUD vs FRE, they are both very nice cases, but it depends upon what you are looking for in a case. If you need good scratch protection for your screen, I'd go with the FRE because of its built in screen protector. I also think the FRE has a bit better sound. However, if you want to be able to touch your screen without interference and your typical conditions are not screen hazardous, you might want to go with the NUUD...
Oh, the bump was poking out by the front facing camera (at least on my 5s FRE) I love the look of the NUUD and the feel, but I feel like I should give the FRE another shot? :)
Sorry if I was unclear...when you peel the halves of the case apart, any water droplets that happen to be adhering to the edges of the case can get shaken off and land on the phone. That is what happened in my situation. They didn't leak in during the submersion period...
The Tech Reviewer You explained yourself very clearly. You even mentioned that the droplets where from the edge. I loved your review. Very informative and Professional. I'm impressed and even drawn to buy the case right away. Great Job!!!
Btw. I bought the case. I got the gray with green details for my iPhone 7plus. I love it so far and makes the phone look great. Thank you again for the excellent review.
Hi Charlie. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't currently have the iPhone 8 Plus version of the FRE, but if I get one, I will definitely do a review for you guys...
Great review. I just purchased the same case (but in all black) for iPhone 7 Plus. The only thing that bothers me is the area where you use that blue clip to pry the case open. Upon doing so, it leaves an indentation on the rubber piece near the corner of the back cover. Other than that, great case! I love it! Look forward to your future reviews!
Well, if the FRE's plastic screen protector gets you down, you could always try the NUUD. It just came out for the 7 Plus...Not sure you can do anything about the plastic over the home button, however. What in particular irritates you about it?
The newest version of the NUUD which comes bundled with a custom Alpha Glass tempered glass screen protector may be the perfect thing for you! I'll be reviewing it soon...
Good question! The FRE and the NUUD double the water resistance of the iPhone 7 line. The 7 and 7 Plus are water resistant to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The FRE and NUUD double the time and depth to 60 minutes for 2 meters. Thanks for watching!
After trial and error, I've determined this case sucks because it makes my voice sound muffled to people when talking on the phone. I literally have to yell at people for them to hear me...when the case is off, all is normal.
I have this exact case on my IPhone 8 Plus and have the same issue with my voice being muffled when on the phone and everyone complains that they can’t hear me.
It's not good even for the lifeproof fre for 6 it's to thin I liked the battery one but they no longer have it for the 6 so I hope they make it for the 7
I hear you, but it is extremely practical and provides great protection to your phone. If you want a waterproof case with direct screen access, check out the LifeProof NUUD. And if you want one with a glass screen protector, check out the NUUD + Alpha Glass...
The Cloth it comes with is trash I suggest you don't use it to clean the inside it just makes it worse. I used a lens cleaner cloth to make sure no dust is left.
If you like getting dust under your screen and scratching your phone this is the case for you. I've had three of these cases and they all get dust under them.
Surprising! The only place I can see them getting dust inside in through the lightning port opening, or if the case isn't installed in a clean place or the case (or the phone) isn't completely clean to start with. A waterproof case should also be a dustproof case...
I've heard of that remedy, but the idea of putting anything in between my screen protector and my screen makes me nervous. I would worry about it causing small scratches...
Nice video
Thank you, Ari!
Its 2020 and this is still the best review ever done. Liked and Subscribed 👍👍👍. Cheers
Thanks so much!! You really made my day with your kind comment :) And thanks for the sub!

You write the BEST reviews, very straight forward and helpful👍😊
Thanks so much, Tyler--that's so nice to hear!
The Tech Reviewer No problem, it was well deserved.
Tyler Bryant agreed! I always check out her reviews!
So when you call people they don’t say you are muffled?
No, I haven't had that problem. LifeProof has definitely improved that aspect of the FRE over the years. Sound quality has improved markedly.
Ok thank you
I wish they made one for the s7 edge and in this color.
Great review.
Yeah, it looks like they only make cases for the regular s7...not the edge. So sorry!
The Tech Reviewer yeah I know just in hopes. The Edge series have been gaining steam. so hopefully they do.
I hear you! The Edge is absolutely lovely. I have the regular s7, and while it is a good phone, its looks have nothing on the Edge...
Just got this case, my only issues were the mute switch is very difficult to actuate and the bottom speaker/mic ports have some plastic bits from molding. Got it for about $20 so I can’t really complain, would never the retail price.
$20 is an excellent price. Enjoy!!
This is probably the best review I've seen so far, thank you!
Thanks so much--that's great to hear!!
Does it work better why 8 plus
Excellent Review I enjoyed the comments
Thanks so much :)
My case has audio issues even with a replacement.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Khris. LifeProof has improved the audio quality of the FRE over time, but it is still not quite as good as that of a non waterproof case. However, many people are willing to make a small audio quality compromise to get the protection the FRE provides.

Great review.
Thanks so much, Keith! Glad you enjoyed it!
Does it easily show fingerprint and grime
The screen will. The back and sides of the case, not so much...
Gotta love those Oil Slicks. :D
+Log Home Sad but true:)
Is the secondary color orange? Just want to make sure before making a purchase so I’m not surprised
Yes indeed. It is orange.
Great review ...nice and clear when you speak I can hear everything clearly and great quality videos. Thanks . Subbed !
Great to hear--thanks!!!
Are you able to swipe the screen while the phone is under water?
Yes, everything should work fine under water, assuming that you are under 2 meters or less of water, which is what the case is rated for...

I hear you!
just got the case for my 7 plus.. feels like a nice upgrade from the 6s plus ... thinner and better sound quality
Agreed! I liked this case a lot for the 6s Plus, but they have made it even better...especially the sound quality. Enjoy your FRE!
It's a great case overall, however, whenever I use it without my airpods or the standard headset, people on the other end keeps complaining that they can't hear me :(
This was a very clean review. Loved it.
is there anything that can be done about the plastic screen part having air under it? when i go to text its very irritating
cut it out
R G Slot Wins it's just their crappy design. About the only thing you can do is get a different case. The pelican marine and the fre on my I phone 6 did the same thing. For some stupid reason they both have that annoying air gap between them. I may go with the nud and a glass screen protector this time.

Did you remove the plastic off the home button my home button wasn't responding very well with it on so i took it off now works great
I did not remove it--mine is working just fine. I fear that by removing it, however, you have probably made the case not waterproof anymore :(

So happy to hear it! Hope you love your FRE!
On mine the bottom of the back cover feels like there is a gap between it and the phone. Is that normal
I believe there is a small air gap there. It probably helps with impact protection...
The Tech Reviewer thanks for the quick response! 😁 I love your reviews. Always help me decide on accessories. Keep up the good work.
Gonna order one today on Amazon, what's your thoughts on the colors? Is the blue pretty in person? The stock pics on Amazon are so-so. This will be my first life proof case!!!!!
Pearl Esme get blue!!
I love the blue--it's a great shade...
The Pink and Purple is the best
The Tech Reviewer what do you mean by the kiss of death of screen protectors in your description?
I have the purple/ pink
Can you use a tempered glass with the case
Hi Fernando. No, this case has a built in screen protector and is not designed to work with another screen protector in addition to that. Using it with one may cause the case to lose some or all of its waterproof protection...
can you use a tempered glass screen protector with this case?
I wouldn't advise it. Any difference in the thickness of the phone might affect how the phone case closes up, and how effective the watertight seals are...
You can't I tried to install it with one the built in screen protector is just to tight so it doesn't have room for it.
i noticed you still have the glass screen protector when you installed it so its ok to have screen protector?
+pinoyakogwapo mac No, the glass screen protector from my previous review was removed. I don't think it is a good idea to have another screen protector installed when using the FRE.
Great 👍 case for traveling. The build quality is superb. Would I use it on a day to day basis? Probably not but it will provide that extra security when you know you need it.
Good perspective :)
How does the protector impact the camera? Can it still take photos at the full capacity of the camera?
Yes, as long as you keep that area completely clean...
Thank you for the reply!
I bought the lifeproof for my 7 plus and the bottem left corner won't snap down completely... please help me!
It is a little tight, but it certainly should snap down. If it doesn't, you need to contact LifeProof...

They do, but the blue color is slightly different...
Would you say the screen here is better than the iPhone 6s fre or the same? Update: I bought this case and I love love love it!!!!
So happy to hear it, Sara!! Thanks for the update!
I received it today, love the color! I'm not sure yet on the screen clarity. I'll give it a few days. I work in medical, so I need a great case!

one plus 3t review
Looks like a great phone...no doubt!
I had this case for the iphone 6 and i hate how the sound came out from behind the case and ruined the sound
I'm not familiar with the iPhone 6 version, but the way they have routed the sound to the front with this version is very nice...
Which is better for water catalyst or life proof fre
I prefer the FRE overall, because it is easier to get on and off your iPhone and is just generally more pleasing, but I haven't reviewed the Catalyst for the 7 Plus, only the 6s Plus, so they may have made some important improvements that I am unaware of...
Is there a screen gap
Very small, but there is one...
If you had to choose between the lifeproof nuud and lifeproof fre which would you choose? I am looking for either one since I drop my case often.
I personally prefer the FRE over the NUUD--the sound quality is a bit better and I like the hand feel of the FRE.
great thank you! Color choice? black or pink?
Lacey Johnson it really depends on what you like I have the pink one and it is VERY bright pink but I don’t mind it very much
Great review. I have this case, but the screen just kills it for me. I will say the sound is way better and people can actually hear me. Same issue when on speaker. But just got the Thule x4 and love it. Great review!! And what would you say is your top iPhone 7 or 7 plus case?

Hi
It looks great to protect our 7 plus. just want to know that if we put this case into i phone7 plus, how about sound system defects or not the reason is that phone is covered by lifeproof free case. thx. waiting ur explanation asap.
Sound system will b better or worse.
Hi cristin. Just purchased a fre for an iPhone 7. The right bottom corner of my case doesn’t properly close wich leaves water in. I bought it from Vodacom, and Vodacom won’t return it. I would appreciate any tips
Wow! That is not good for a waterproof case! Have you tried contacting LifeProof directly? I would think that they should be able to help you out...
There's no doubt that intergrated screen protectors take away from having the best experience. I wouldn't use the Fre daily but when I'm on vacation at the shore probably a good idea.
Agreed!
Can anyone tell me, if the charger "latch" is supposed too be really easy too open! I just bought one yesterday, and my latch will pop open by itself sometimes, or I can just smash the back of it and it'll open.. I know all the other lifeproof cases are hard too open.. just worried about putting it in the water!!
+BrittanyMarie Sabella Sounds like it may be loose to me. You should contact LifeProof and ask them about it...
My absolute favorite case is the Magpul Bump case. The Field case is ok but I prefer the Bump. Called Magpul today and they said a couple of weeks for the Field and are not sure about the Bump.
I know the Magpul is hard to compare to other cases. What I'm looking for is drop protection and I don't like cases with inter grated screen protectors even a little bit. Have a Zagg Glass screen protector.
You have any suggestions for a comparable case to the Magpul Bump?
Thanks!
Great news on the Field Case...I hope they come out with both the 7 and the 7 Plus sizes. As far as the Bump is concerned, I've never actually seen the case...only heard about it. It sounds great, but I've never looked into it further because Magpul has never made it for the Plus version of the iPhones. Therefore, sadly, I can't really give you any comparable case suggestions...sorry!
What do you recomend to clean the case
The iPhone 7 is water resistant so why do you need a water resistant case that survivors the same "2 meters"
+Mike Ci iPhone 7/7 Plus is rated for 1 meter for 30 minutes duration, so this doubles the coverage. Besides, despite the water resistance of the iPhone 7 Plus, water damage still isn't covered under the apple warranty, so it is good to be extra safe...
+The Tech Reviewer thanks for the explanation!
Happy to help!
Does anybody have problems with the audio ? Every one I talk to says they can’t hear me. I tried cleaning the case out an everything else still have the same problem !!! Anyone know how to fix that??
Where can you buy this case? Love your videos btw!
+My TH-cam Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! There are links in the video description:)
Could you answer a quick question for me? Would it be ok to leave my DBrand Skin on my phone if I put the lifeproof on?
Hunter Kirkpatrick from my understanding you aren't supposed to have anything extra on your phone when you use this case. That means screen protectors as well.
I completely agree with @Onemorechance12. You aren't supposed to have any screen protectors or skins on the phone--it could compromise the waterproofness of the case...
Does the sound quality lower or not
+Michael Gonzalez A very small amount. It is much better than previous versions of the FRE or other waterproof cases I have reviewed...
I have this case for the iPhone 7+. What bothers me is that the bottom of the phone doesn't fit all the way to the screen protector so the home button area on the case never fully touches the home button on my phone so you always see where it separated like there is an air bubble under the home button. Any suggestions?
There is a small air gap between the screen protector and the phone, but it sounds like yours is a bit larger than mine. Mine definitely touches the home button, although it doesn't adhere to it over the entire home button, just in one spot. Does the home button work OK?
The Tech Reviewer yes the home button works fine. It's just that the home button area on the screen protector doesn't touch the whole button cause the bottom of the phone doesn't go far enough into the case and the screen protector is raised more on the bottom cause the bottom of the case gets slightly wider at the bottom. So instead of designing the screen protector to fit over the entire home button and be flush on the phone they made the screen protector match the case and not the phone.
I was thinking of getting a lifeprorof fre is it worth it? Or should I get a nuud?
I personally prefer the FRE to the NUUD, but I haven't reviewed the very latest models for the 8 Plus and X. I will be doing that soon, however, so stay tuned!
Okay thanks for that I have an IPhone 7 so that is why I'm asking.
does the back feel slippery in the hand at all?
sorry always asking the same question
Hello. Excellent video. I was just wondering if the fingerprint scanner still works?? Thank you for your timely response
blackbushido1 it does
blackbushido1 yes it does.
Yep, no problem...
Hi in other words I am confused on whether I buy the fre or nude what's your advice for me.. because I am mainly using this because it covers 360 degree but as you said nude is releasing a version with a glass compatible version so I am confused
But is it FREE get it?
Not exactly free, no :)
Hi! I'm thinking about getting a FRE for the 7 plus although the fre had the annoying bump near the front facing camera, is that gone now? Would you recommend the fre or nuud for the 7 plus? Thankyou :)
I'm not sure which bump you mean? And as far as the NUUD vs FRE, they are both very nice cases, but it depends upon what you are looking for in a case. If you need good scratch protection for your screen, I'd go with the FRE because of its built in screen protector. I also think the FRE has a bit better sound. However, if you want to be able to touch your screen without interference and your typical conditions are not screen hazardous, you might want to go with the NUUD...
Oh, the bump was poking out by the front facing camera (at least on my 5s FRE) I love the look of the NUUD and the feel, but I feel like I should give the FRE another shot? :)
How to I take the case off 😩😫
Amanda Blogs with the tool they give you read the instructions
I had one on my i6 for two years,it came out looking out of box new so I got one for my i7 plus
Nice! Hope you love it!
You blame the case for having water go in wow
Sorry if I was unclear...when you peel the halves of the case apart, any water droplets that happen to be adhering to the edges of the case can get shaken off and land on the phone. That is what happened in my situation. They didn't leak in during the submersion period...
The Tech Reviewer You explained yourself very clearly. You even mentioned that the droplets where from the edge. I loved your review. Very informative and Professional. I'm impressed and even drawn to buy the case right away. Great Job!!!
Thanks, Samuel!!
Btw. I bought the case. I got the gray with green details for my iPhone 7plus. I love it so far and makes the phone look great. Thank you again for the excellent review.
@TheTechReviewer could you please do another video like this but with one of the iPhone 8 Plus Case versions! Thanks
Hi Charlie. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't currently have the iPhone 8 Plus version of the FRE, but if I get one, I will definitely do a review for you guys...
Great review. I just purchased the same case (but in all black) for iPhone 7 Plus. The only thing that bothers me is the area where you use that blue clip to pry the case open. Upon doing so, it leaves an indentation on the rubber piece near the corner of the back cover. Other than that, great case! I love it! Look forward to your future reviews!
Just use your fingernail to open the case and skip the tool.
I suppose you could, but I think it would hurt your finger a bit. I'd rather hurt the case :)
Drew Rivera did that to mine to but shut ull firget inless urs is super bad for sum reason
Drew Rivera Use your finger or a coin, I use the iPhone se and it didn't come with a case key, so that's what I use.
It'd be cool if instead of the plastic front screen, it was glass. And the button plastic pisses me off
Well, if the FRE's plastic screen protector gets you down, you could always try the NUUD. It just came out for the 7 Plus...Not sure you can do anything about the plastic over the home button, however. What in particular irritates you about it?
Andrew LeForce I just got one and I thought the plastic on the home button would be pissy expect it's actually awesome.
Andrew LeForce and plus you can get scratch protection from the home button
The newest version of the NUUD which comes bundled with a custom Alpha Glass tempered glass screen protector may be the perfect thing for you! I'll be reviewing it soon...
At 58 seconds she says spick presidio grip😂
Not intentional, I assure you :)
Strange !! iPhone 7 Plus with waterproof !! Why LifeProof FRE ??
Good question! The FRE and the NUUD double the water resistance of the
iPhone 7 line. The 7 and 7 Plus are water resistant to 1 meter for 30
minutes. The FRE and NUUD double the time and depth to 60 minutes for 2
meters. Thanks for watching!
2阿瑋 Just in case and also lifeproof cases protect against alot of other things aswell.
Last Time That I
had This,The case had water Inside and made my phone Speaker Low😑😑
After trial and error, I've determined this case sucks because it makes my voice sound muffled to people when talking on the phone. I literally have to yell at people for them to hear me...when the case is off, all is normal.
Yea I agree! Since I got it people can't hear me properly so I have to talk laughter. But I found that if I use de EarPods all it's ok
I have this exact case on my IPhone 8 Plus and have the same issue with my voice being muffled when on the phone and everyone complains that they can’t hear me.
J rock Just open the charging flap it clears up sound.
👍
Thanks!
Hii, does this case works with a glass screen protector?
The Martini no
It's not good even for the lifeproof fre for 6 it's to thin I liked the battery one but they no longer have it for the 6 so I hope they make it for the 7
10.15 DOR THAT AXTRA $$$$$
Was I the one one that saw that she didn't lock the case properly in the beginning before she showed how to put it on
when you notice Goat Sim on the phone so you change your dislike to a like...
I like this case a lot but there's something about the plastic screen protector that looks ugly to me 😂
I hear you, but it is extremely practical and provides great protection to your phone. If you want a waterproof case with direct screen access, check out the LifeProof NUUD. And if you want one with a glass screen protector, check out the NUUD + Alpha Glass...
The Tech Reviewer true thanks for the help
my mom gave this to me as a gift I really don't suggest this case if your a guy it's just to big to properly fit in your pocket.
The Cloth it comes with is trash I suggest you don't use it to clean the inside it just makes it worse. I used a lens cleaner cloth to make sure no dust is left.
I have that same speck case I like it’s. It’s good
Glad to hear you are enjoying your case! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I might as well have taken $89.99 and flushed it down the toilet.
If you like getting dust under your screen and scratching your phone this is the case for you. I've had three of these cases and they all get dust under them.
Surprising! The only place I can see them getting dust inside in through the lightning port opening, or if the case isn't installed in a clean place or the case (or the phone) isn't completely clean to start with. A waterproof case should also be a dustproof case...
Use baby powder it takes away the rainbow effect!!!
I've heard of that remedy, but the idea of putting anything in between my screen protector and my screen makes me nervous. I would worry about it causing small scratches...
