I bought this and brought it recently to Phuket beach last week. Went snorkeling (shallow water) and took amazing videos underwater with my iPhone 6 + lifeproof case. Does what it says. *thumbs up*
I like that the headphone jack cover is anchored to the case. I lost 2 on my LifeProof case for my 4. I got my Fre a few days ago and I pick up my 6 tomorrow. Can't wait to use it.
Great video, just came across your site while researching the case (btw, subscribed). I've had nothing but positive results from previous LifeProof cases...especially on my old 5c. For those of us who frequent the beach, it's a must have! Thanks again for the video, I'll be checking your other videos out now.
Good video, thanks. Wondering how the new case affects the sound. With my 5 and wife's 4S it muted it too much, to the point others couldn't hear me on the other end. Also it hurt the speaker sound. I opted for an otterbox until I read more about the LP 6 case. Even passed up on the early invite email, that wasn't easy. Thanks again.
You might want to look into that bend that you have, my FRe iPhone 6 is flat when the lifeproof case is installed, looks fantastic, mine doesn't look warp at all love it, contact lifeproof if it bothers u
If you have had the Lifeproof before they are made of this plastic so I assume and hope it will contour to the phone and be just fine. I will get a video of it on the phone as soon as I upload the water test
+Amanda Woolsey is there an issue with sound on your case? I have 5s Nuud case and people complain they can't hear me. I'm upgrading to a 6s soon and I'm researching cases. Great video. I appreciate your help.
Hey, I was wondering if the play back on audio (music or speaker phone usage) with Fre for the 6 is like the previous Fre for the 5s... Muffled, and amplified through the back of the phone? Thanks Amanda, great review!
the catalyst is a bit better for water then the lifeproofs...but lifeproof is better for drops they both are equally great cases but if you do swimming or water activities and want to bring your phone i suggest getting the catalyst...they say its %100 waterproof and every case is water tested
Hi, could you please tell me if there is difficulty using the touch screen while it's wet? I had this problem with the 4S case. Also, is there a bump in the screen protector at the front camera/speaker? Thank you for showing this case.
how well does the built in screen adhere to the phone? In the 5s model it seemed like the built in screen protector didn't quite make contact with the phone until you touched the screen, which bugged me. Also does the case make Touch ID miss more than usual?
I can feel a slight give on the screen cover (glossy and plasticky feeling) like there's a very thin cushion of air. Slightly annoying. It definitely does not let the firmness of the glass come through like a stick-on screen protector does. Perhaps that's the trade-off for waterproofness.
***** That is, a stick-on screen protector has very little give itself. You can't feel any squish. The plastic on the Fre case does not adhere to the iPhone screen so if you put your finger on it and then remove it as one normally interacts with the screen, you can feel the plastic come away slightly.
FlabulousTori The extension for the headphones twists out. The ringer still mutes using the button on the side. If you have this case one and can not get it to mute sometimes when you attached the case the button gets trapped in the middle just take it off line it up and try again. Also you can mute through settings/sounds on the iPhone. Hope this helped
It's a huge upgrade! Coming from the 4s my husband cat get over the size but the speed is crazy better too! I had the 5s so the size was the biggest difference for me! Yes!! I will get the nüüd also also ;) Thanks for watching!
abger saurus Lighting is my next big purchase! I just spend $300 on a tripod and $200+ this week alone on review items...if it only came in that easy :) Yes I will be getting the Nuud asap and of course will do a video on it! Take care!
Great case and review, I did a review also and right after I had the phone in my pocket fishing and fell and a rock hit my phone on the back and dented it there good cases but zero protection when hit on front or back with any real force.
In all honesty how flush is the screen protector to phone screen? this was a HUGE problem for me before and it never looked good and responsiveness touching the screen wasn't good neither. Please respond. Thanks
I know what you mean much better this time round. The issue was that underneath the front facing camera are there was a piece of plastic stuck and it would raise the screen not so much on this one pretty flush.
I just reviewed the life proof case as well and I have a gold iPhone! To be honest it looks fine but really there's just a tiny window where you can even tell that its gold. It looks good though!
Big big question on my 5s life prof case between the Touch ID and screen there was a little bubble that you can push down on it and made it not flat. Is this the same with this case? If yes then I'm going to get the nuud case
It is perfect for that! I tend to use this as my standard case at all times. Last years model I had some issues with the speaker sounding not as clear but hopefully after another year that have that cleaned up! Thanks Mike!!
Good video. I just can't believe that they took all this time to release pretty much the same case. They made it seem like they were making this whole revolutionary case and we had to wait on pins and needles. Gonna have to pass, for 80$. Yup it's a pass. Thank you for making the video though.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that only works for one flick of the switch. The case knob successfully toggles it from silent to On, but then loses purchase rendering the silent switch useless. This is a real bummer. I waited 8 days for this thing to ship so I wouldn't have to worry about handling this slippery, skinny and naked iPhone 6.
If you notice the date... this was a while back. They only had black. Now they have many colors available including pink purple blue and more. Thank for watching!
Amanda Woolsey Thanks for response Amanda, I was also wondering if you feel the case would preform well with a screen first drop? As all the videos I've seen are drops that land either on corners or the back.
I believe it would. In my drop test it barely even got a scratch. My husband works in the oil field and this was his phone (I have 6 plus) and their job is crazy rough and dirty and the phone and case look like new still.
***** Nope, my husband has the 6 I have the 6 plus so I had to wait a day or so for him to return from work to show it in the case. Please see my latest video. I drop test the case along with other test. Thanks for watching!
i know this is not the most appropriate video to do this... But could anyone help me? I bought a lifeproof nuud case for my 5c but it doesnt seem to be working properly. When i out my phone underwater, somehow some water is able to infiltrate from the bottom of the case. What the hell should i do?
Contact lifeproof. They have a one year warranty on all their cases, and they're usually pretty easy to work with in terms of replacement cases. Or so I've heard. :)
Yeah I have it on my iPhone too, I can see it while I type this. The rainbow effect and the slight screen curvature are a bit annoying but other than that it is a pretty good case
I plan to!! I believe I mentioned it but my husband has my iPhone 6 since I upgraded to the 6 plus and he works in the oil field and was out all week so the next series of test I run will have the phone in it since he will be home :))
Agreed. As I mentioned my husband is using my iPhone 6 once I got the 6 plus and he was work in the oil field anyway for several days. The review will have it since he will return home :) thanks for the feedback.
Worst case I've ever had. Everything on my case was either lost or broken. The edges wear so bad it will start to peel off. The only good thing about it is how slim it is compared to others that protect from shock.
You should never cut towards your hand. Always cut away from yourself in case the knife slips. With the exception of your blatant disregard for personal safety this is a great review!!!
Mine is not at all, not even the slightest sound issues. Last years 5s first edition was a different story. I have zero issues with this case if you do, I suggest you contact Lifeproof. They replaced my 5s but the design hadn't been updated. So, I asked for a refund and got it since the second was faulty as well.
Don't get this case! It seems to not latch to the "silent" switch on the iPhone 6 even when pressing hard. I returned mine the moment I found out. Just warning you all ahead of time!
Wait... so you're telling me I can buy these two plastic pieces and a yellow rubber band for only $80?.. Wow thats just a steal, and the burglar is lifeproof... Get over this lifeproof shit people...
I bought this and brought it recently to Phuket beach last week. Went snorkeling (shallow water) and took amazing videos underwater with my iPhone 6 + lifeproof case. Does what it says. *thumbs up*
I'd love to see your pics/videos if you have them on Instagram or FB.
I like that the headphone jack cover is anchored to the case. I lost 2 on my LifeProof case for my 4. I got my Fre a few days ago and I pick up my 6 tomorrow. Can't wait to use it.
Totally agree! I have kept ones from my old cases hoping they will fit newer ones just incase I loose them! :)
Just got mine overnight as well great case I love that it does not obscure the screen selectin like the dock.
etchosts Hope you like it!
Great video, just came across your site while researching the case (btw, subscribed). I've had nothing but positive results from previous LifeProof cases...especially on my old 5c. For those of us who frequent the beach, it's a must have! Thanks again for the video, I'll be checking your other videos out now.
Thanks BC! I live 10 min from the beach and couldn't agree more!
Thanks Amanda, I've been looking for such review .. thanks again :)
Good video, thanks. Wondering how the new case affects the sound. With my 5 and wife's 4S it muted it too much, to the point others couldn't hear me on the other end. Also it hurt the speaker sound. I opted for an otterbox until I read more about the LP 6 case. Even passed up on the early invite email, that wasn't easy. Thanks again.
Can you make an unboxing of the Fré Power for the iPhone 6?
You might want to look into that bend that you have, my FRe iPhone 6 is flat when the lifeproof case is installed, looks fantastic, mine doesn't look warp at all love it, contact lifeproof if it bothers u
Arcade Obsessed Have had zero issues with it. Only bent with out phone in it. Thanks for watching!
Are you going to picking up the fre for the 6/6s plus case ? I'm waiting for the colored versions to come out. I love your videos!
Intro was the most lit
Love the review Amanda, can't wait to get mine, bit nervous though why there's a slight bend I hope over time it doesn't bend the phone
If you have had the Lifeproof before they are made of this plastic so I assume and hope it will contour to the phone and be just fine. I will get a video of it on the phone as soon as I upload the water test
Time to buy this awesome case!
+Amanda Woolsey is there an issue with sound on your case? I have 5s Nuud case and people complain they can't hear me. I'm upgrading to a 6s soon and I'm researching cases. Great video. I appreciate your help.
I wish you tried using the finger scanner with the case on and dipped it in water so we can also see the actual feature of the case.
I will in my review video or testing all 4 "proofs" video --water test/ drop test along with snow and dirt :) thanks for watching
Great video. For iphone 6, nuud or fre? I'm likely going nuud. So want it!
Thanks for the video review. Now I feel confident in my purchase.
Would the case sit flush still if i had a screen protector on my phone?
Hey, I was wondering if the play back on audio (music or speaker phone usage) with Fre for the 6 is like the previous Fre for the 5s... Muffled, and amplified through the back of the phone? Thanks Amanda, great review!
LG Duran It's fairly muffled. Not as bad maybe as last years, but still not crystal clear.
Are you gonna review the other colors that just came out? Please do if Possible Thanks.
Water proof and fire proof not the biggest concern is it Bend Proof? Is this the the Plus?
When do the lifeproof cases come out for the 6?
Hi would you recommend this case I do a lot of water sports and is this good for it?
Absolutely!
the catalyst is a bit better for water then the lifeproofs...but lifeproof is better for drops they both are equally great cases but if you do swimming or water activities and want to bring your phone i suggest getting the catalyst...they say its %100 waterproof and every case is water tested
Hi, could you please tell me if there is difficulty using the touch screen while it's wet? I had this problem with the 4S case. Also, is there a bump in the screen protector at the front camera/speaker? Thank you for showing this case.
I tested screen extensively in my last video. :))
My case came today. Having some fun with it
zach a Enjoy! If you haven't seen my latest video check it out. I push the case a big to see how it holds up
how well does the built in screen adhere to the phone? In the 5s model it seemed like the built in screen protector didn't quite make contact with the phone until you touched the screen, which bugged me. Also does the case make Touch ID miss more than usual?
Dustin Franz Mine feels very flush and smooth. No issues with the screen protector on this one I've got. Thanks for watching!
I can feel a slight give on the screen cover (glossy and plasticky feeling) like there's a very thin cushion of air. Slightly annoying. It definitely does not let the firmness of the glass come through like a stick-on screen protector does. Perhaps that's the trade-off for waterproofness.
Glass firmness through???
*****
That is, a stick-on screen protector has very little give itself. You can't feel any squish. The plastic on the Fre case does not adhere to the iPhone screen so if you put your finger on it and then remove it as one normally interacts with the screen, you can feel the plastic come away slightly.
I don't experience that, Tim. Mine stays very flush!
Can you review the screen protector for the fre case? Any air bubbles like the last cases or rainbow-ing effects?
PhDflops2 Rainbowing comes from oil on iPhone screen from finger prints. I have rainbowing despite OCD cleaning the screen before installing...
Oh ok, thanks for the reply. I'll just wait for the nuud white case.
How do you get the headphone part out of the headphone jack? And also, how do you mute the ringer with it on??
FlabulousTori The extension for the headphones twists out. The ringer still mutes using the button on the side. If you have this case one and can not get it to mute sometimes when you attached the case the button gets trapped in the middle just take it off line it up and try again. Also you can mute through settings/sounds on the iPhone. Hope this helped
Any rainbow effect on screen protector? That was just a big turn off with my 5s case. Also can people hear you fine on other end of calls? Tks
I also swicthed from the 4s to the 6+, i can't wait for the nüüd :)
It's a huge upgrade! Coming from the 4s my husband cat get over the size but the speed is crazy better too! I had the 5s so the size was the biggest difference for me! Yes!! I will get the nüüd also also ;)
Thanks for watching!
it was a nice review, maybe a little dark in the video but otherwise good, are you going to make a review as soon as the 6+ Nüud is released? :)
abger saurus Lighting is my next big purchase! I just spend $300 on a tripod and $200+ this week alone on review items...if it only came in that easy :)
Yes I will be getting the Nuud asap and of course will do a video on it! Take care!
cool can't wait! :)
Great case and review, I did a review also and right after I had the phone in my pocket fishing and fell and a rock hit my phone on the back and dented it there good cases but zero protection when hit on front or back with any real force.
Can i take it to the waterpark and record going down the slides?
Hey Amanda, do u know when the Nuud is coming out I want it so bad
Adam Welsh I wish, want it too!!
Do you know the difference in size from the otter box defender to the lifeproof
How good is the screen protector?
Niclas Jacob Great! Very smooth!
I would like to see a purple lifeproof case unboxing.
Good straight to the point review. Thx
miamitreo I appreciate the feedback!!
What are those two tabs on the left side of the case? The one sticking out below the lower volume button and the one above the mute switch?
Those are the buttons so they won't get messed up if you drop it on the side
How's does it feel ? How does the screen shield sit ? Flush ? Thanks
***** Very flush!
Is it plug and play or do I need to download the driver from their site?
In all honesty how flush is the screen protector to phone screen? this was a HUGE problem for me before and it never looked good and responsiveness touching the screen wasn't good neither. Please respond. Thanks
I know what you mean much better this time round. The issue was that underneath the front facing camera are there was a piece of plastic stuck and it would raise the screen not so much on this one pretty flush.
Wish they would make the iPhone 6 plus one
Marcelino Soliz It is coming soon! I will have one as soon as it drops!
do you know when will they make the other colors for the lifeproof? and can you still use the life proof fre if you have ballistic screen protector?
Kelvin Adriano I used it only with the phone. So I cannot give an accurate answer
can this be taken into salt water?
How does the gold iPhone look in the black case? I have a good 6 and just ordered the black case not sure how it will look
I just reviewed the life proof case as well and I have a gold iPhone! To be honest it looks fine but really there's just a tiny window where you can even tell that its gold. It looks good though!
Mine has a problem staying flush with the screen, and I get Newton rings any ideas?
Big big question on my 5s life prof case between the Touch ID and screen there was a little bubble that you can push down on it and made it not flat. Is this the same with this case? If yes then I'm going to get the nuud case
Jordan Tsang IT's smooth!
That's only on the Nüüd, which isn't out yet. She has the Fré.
Okay I just got my life proof case in white:F
Does it make it sound like your talkin in a tunnel some times and does the screen protector give that oil lookin under the screen
Jesse Howell This years model sounds great compared to my older versions
Good looking case but Ima wait for the nuud
Ben Sandoval Thanks! I will get the nuud for my iPhone 6 plus!
Does the case make it hard to call on the phone?: Because I've heard a few complaints.
Previous models, yes. The iPhone 6, zero calling issues.
ok! Thank you! :)
well done 🎄
i heard these cases got bad reviews due to parting of plastic,is that true
Tyler Conlon No issues here. Thus far
Thanks for watching!
The Touch ID us usable ??
Yes
How much did the overnight shipping cost ?
I have been using lifeproof for 4 years now or more btw
I have had 3 now and will continue to buy them! CES showed the battery pack one also!
This case should be good for outdoor activity and bike riding.
It is perfect for
that! I tend to use this as my standard case at all times. Last years model I had some issues with the speaker sounding not as clear but hopefully after another year that have that cleaned up! Thanks Mike!!
Im gad these are made with quality in mind because the 5c cases are garbage. Ima try to get one of these when i get a 6 is it worth it?
beastboyP1 I think the iPhone 6 Lifeproof is MUCH better than my 5/5s case was. I sent it back..
Good video. I just can't believe that they took all this time to release pretty much the same case. They made it seem like they were making this whole revolutionary case and we had to wait on pins and needles. Gonna have to pass, for 80$. Yup it's a pass. Thank you for making the video though.
Stevie P I agree! I do like this case though!
I just got mine. I can't get the silent switch to work with the case which is a deal breaker.
Try taking your case off, moving the switch to the opposite position then reapply the case. Sometimes this helps...
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that only works for one flick of the switch. The case knob successfully toggles it from silent to On, but then loses purchase rendering the silent switch useless. This is a real bummer. I waited 8 days for this thing to ship so I wouldn't have to worry about handling this slippery, skinny and naked iPhone 6.
the nuud is much better. The fre can break at the top near the top. I had it for my 5.
Has the nuud been released yet?
thedr.derp77 No, I wish!
They do u have it in white and grey
If you notice the date... this was a while back. They only had black. Now they have many colors available including pink purple blue and more. Thank for watching!
How long did it take to ship to u?
nicely done vid thanks
superagnitio Thanks so much, nice to hear!
so they dont have this for the iphone 6 plus?
Not yet. THe 6 plus model so far has only been mentioned to come in the Nuud version that does not have a screen protector
Still waiting for a 6+ case >_>
Me too!
The case just looks completely sexy but I'm waiting for a blue one lol
They have blue out now! Go BigBLUEforLIFE
Does the case cover the screen?
It does. The nüüd does not and it is yet to be released. Thanks for watching also I have several videos on this case if you'd like to see more.
Amanda Woolsey Thanks for response Amanda, I was also wondering if you feel the case would preform well with a screen first drop? As all the videos I've seen are drops that land either on corners or the back.
I believe it would. In my drop test it barely even got a scratch. My husband works in the oil field and this was his phone (I have 6 plus) and their job is crazy rough and dirty and the phone and case look like new still.
Still no padding on the back it scratched the hell out of my 5
Pete Oleson Eek. That sucks! I've yet to have that issue
We're did the under water case come from
your cute and that case is smexy definatelly gunna invest in one.
i get mine on monday :)
I wish they made the screw a little bigger so that I could easily use my beats headphones without having to use the little extension.
taurinenrgy I agree! Who wants to carry more cords!!?
It would be nice if they made this case clear too.
+Miguel Galarza ya, they only make the Nude in clear or at least they did. Haven't checked in a long time
Great video
JRbrand4 Thanks!!
You didn’t do the water test
Shoot, I was hoping to see the actual phone in the case. Did I miss something?
***** Nope, my husband has the 6 I have the 6 plus so I had to wait a day or so for him to return from work to show it in the case. Please see my latest video. I drop test the case along with other test. Thanks for watching!
TechSelectReviews Thank you!
i know this is not the most appropriate video to do this... But could anyone help me? I bought a lifeproof nuud case for my 5c but it doesnt seem to be working properly. When i out my phone underwater, somehow some water is able to infiltrate from the bottom of the case. What the hell should i do?
Contact lifeproof. They have a one year warranty on all their cases, and they're usually pretty easy to work with in terms of replacement cases. Or so I've heard. :)
But where's the iPhone 6 plus case?
I ordered mine a couple days ago xD
Victor Preciado Enjoy!
Not a fan of Fre I'll wait for the Nuud, the rainbow effect on Fre is a real pain.
Daized2009 The rainbow is the only issue we've had with the iPhone 6 life proof. I feel ya
:)
Yeah I have it on my iPhone too, I can see it while I type this. The rainbow effect and the slight screen curvature are a bit annoying but other than that it is a pretty good case
SWEET VIDEO
My dog bit threw the case and broke my phone I now have a new iPhone 6 and different kind of case
OMG that is awful! Sorry to hear that.
Why not install it on the phone
I plan to!! I believe I mentioned it but my husband has my iPhone 6 since I upgraded to the 6 plus and he works in the oil field and was out all week so the next series of test I run will have the phone in it since he will be home :))
Does it bend?
ThatWSFanboy Nope
I need this. Kinda left my iPhone in my pants , which I put in washing machine
+AUSTIN107316 *Damn
your voice is so cute ~~
Nostalgia Egoku Haha.. Thanks!
it would have been helpful if you actually put the phone in the case , would have helped us see the profile
Agreed. As I mentioned my husband is using my iPhone 6 once I got the 6 plus and he was work in the oil field anyway for several days. The review will have it since he will return home :) thanks for the feedback.
Thanks Amanda, looking forward to that review.
Worst case I've ever had. Everything on my case was either lost or broken. The edges wear so bad it will start to peel off. The only good thing about it is how slim it is compared to others that protect from shock.
You should never cut towards your hand. Always cut away from yourself in case the knife slips. With the exception of your blatant disregard for personal safety this is a great review!!!
That's cool I have a life proof
:))
Hello amanda😊
Archangel Atienza Hello Archangel!! Thanks for watching!
its hard to hear people with this case... speaker is covered ...defective design
Mine is not at all, not even the slightest sound issues. Last years 5s first edition was a different story. I have zero issues with this case if you do, I suggest you contact Lifeproof. They replaced my 5s but the design hadn't been updated. So, I asked for a refund and got it since the second was faulty as well.
Don't get this case! It seems to not latch to the "silent" switch on the iPhone 6 even when pressing hard. I returned mine the moment I found out. Just warning you all ahead of time!
geraldreyf I find it a paid to switch at times, but mine does work.
6.6 feet. That's why my phone shattered going down a flight of stairs...
OUCH!!! :((
Wait... so you're telling me I can buy these two plastic pieces and a yellow rubber band for only $80?.. Wow thats just a steal, and the burglar is lifeproof...
Get over this lifeproof shit people...
YoItzMike12 Pretty much. I wish all items I really liked were basically free...but that is not the case in most situations. Thanks for watching!
Are you going to picking up the fre for the 6/6s plus case ? I'm waiting for the colored versions to come out. I love your videos!
