It is a shame Lifeproof charges ANOTHER 30.00 for a screen protector when on the previous iPhone 6 model it was included. I stick with the fre, it is an awesome case but if they included the screen protector on the nuud I would get that
Won't be buying another Fre once I get a new phone. Functionally, it worked fine for me (Galaxy S6). It is/was waterproof, protected the phone in nasty drops on concrete and other hard surfaces and wasn't *too* cumbersome for a waterproof case. However: I've only used it when on fishing-trips and I only took two of those in the time I've had the Fre. All in all, I've used the Fre for 7 weeks in 22 months. On the second trip a few weeks ago, the little plastic "bridge" between the charging-port-cover and the home-button broke in half and then off. The cover still closes and stays shut, but I'm not sure I would want to submerge the case in water now. Plus: Yeah... sound quality is pretty much non-existent with the Fre, which makes it nearly impossible to hear incoming calls. And the fingerprint-sensor only works about 50% of the time, something which is never an issue with the S6's home button in an "uncovered" state.
I had a Fre for my 5s and it shattered my screen within a week, so definitely can't take face-down falls on uneven ground either. Got a Nuud and it was the best case ever, never had a problem. I just don't feel like dropping $100 on a Nuud for my iPhone 7
I have a question that it seems like no one can answer are u able to fit an iPhone 7 dongle/headphone adapter in the charging port where it is supposed to go or is it to right
But the wrist-strap isn’t included, correct? And btw, the nüüd includes a screen protector. Why get a waterproof case for the iphone 7 when the iPhone 7 is water resistant. That’s the whole point of a waterproof case, for a non-water resistant smartphone.
Hey I'm not sure if you are up to potentially ruining an iPhone screen but the Otterbox defender for the iPad Air 2 has an issue and I would like to know if it happens on the phone cases. On my space gray iPad Air 2 on the home button where the plastic membrane is there is now a permanent square smudge around the button and I think it's the oleophobic costing being removed from that material but I'm unsure. Maybe review the Otterbox for the 7-7plus (I have the plus) and run the usual tests but keep an eye out for the smudge.
I had the Nuud for my iPhone 6 Plus, so naturally when I purchased my iPhone 7 Plus, I ordered the Nuud w/Alpha Glass; I truly regret that decision. The Alpha Glass does not completely fill the screen opening and looks rather odd when in the case. Additionally, the back of the case does a poor job of displaying my jet-black phone, it is also a finger print magnet and I cannot keep it clean. I'm not sure why this plastic is different from that used in the 6 and 6S models (perhaps coating), but I wish they would go back to the original design and material, but with a different recharge port door that doesn’t constantly break. I also hate that they got rid of the rubberized covering on the upper and lower ends of the rear panel of the case. This means the phone will come in direct contact with any surface you lay the phone on and will eventually show scratches. Furthermore, I received the case defective (crack and subsequent gap at power button) and Life Proof wanted to charge me shipping cost for a replacement. I adamantly protested, arguing they could not possibly expect me to pay shipping costs for the replacement of a defective case; thankfully they relented. I have no idea what is going on at Life Proof, but this is totally unacceptable on so many levels. While I absolutely love my iPhone 6 Plus case, I'm not sure if I will purchase another Life Proof product in following this experience. Aaron, can you please recommend an iPhone 7 Plus case? I would like one of similar quality to the Nuud for the iPhone 6 Plus and 6 S Plus? Since I have the jet black, I would also like a clear back and waterproof capabilities to seal out dirt. A built-in screen protector is not necessary, but will be considered if you recommend it. Thanks for your recommendation.
Here's my current list for waterproof cases: www.mobilereviews-eh.ca/top-5-waterproof-iphone-7-cases-lifeproof-catalyst-dog-bone-pelican-ghostek/ The catalyst or wetsuit impact would be a good choice.
Did you find it was incredibly hard to press the home (non)button one handed on the Fre? I've had this with a couple cases that cover the home button (Tech21 waterproof case, Griffin Survivor Extreme), I'm guessing it's a problem with the button more than the case...
My lifeproof fre just recently arrived and I'm enjoying it! After a day though I realised that sound is a little more muffled than usual which is a small problem. I guess I'll just use the EarPods to listen to music and doing other stuff.
They really improved with the fee 7 plus, idk about the regular 7. I purchased the 6s fre and quickly exchanged it for the nuud because the screen was a real nuisance. But the 7 plus fre is awesome! The screen protector doesn't bother me at all! It attracts dust and shit which can get annoying but I'm definitely not going nuud this time
Do you know if any of the waterproof cases allow for a Qi adaptor to fit? I know a lot of regular cases are slim enough but I've no clue about cases like Lifeproof or Catalyst
I say NUUD, I like how it looks more. The FRE looks kinda cheap on the front face side, and my biggest con for the FRE? What do you do if you start scratching your screen protector or when your thumb (or finger) that is regularly moving in one spot (Like scrolling) starts leaving permanent marks on your screen?.. I prefer knowing if it gets too messed up I can just buy a new screen protector for the NUUD oppose to a whole new FRE case to fix the scratches. Just my opinion, both are great and I used to have a FRE and I loved it, can't wait to get a NUUD for my iPhone 7 Plus!
Does the screen on the Fre bother you when you text? I had one with my iphone 5 and it was kind of irritating after awhile and the touch screen response was slow.
BlueJeansTV Mine is too. The screen protector diffuses the iPhone screen - this is why some people opt for the nuud! Wish Lifeproof would improve the screen protector :(
Hey, mr. Mobile I love ur review and I got a iPhone 5s rn Lifeproof Fre case and I luv it and I was thinking I don’t want to spend $100 on a case for a phone case. And in a few months I’m gonna get a iPhone 6 and I can’t decide which one to go with, Fre $10 cheaper or the nuud $100?
Michael Teague Jr I can't stand all the dust that goes inside. I ended up buying tech 21 warrrproof case. It was only 50 bucks copare to the nuud for 75 bucks.
I've had all three types...Catalyst, Dog & Bone and LifeProof, at one time or another. The Catalyst is the best feeling case. The Dog & Bone feels incredibly cheap and not worth the $80 they want for it. As for screen protectors...I've always had a tempered glass screen protector and they have fit under all of them. They say it can compromise the seal...but let's be real...the average person does not put their phone under water. It's a preventative measure.
Maybe. Every case but the Impact came apart during a 5 ft drop with a naked iPhone. I don't imagine it being better with the extra thickness in the case.
Life proof is a bitch like come on why do you have to pay more for the Nuud screen protected when it used to come with the case so you might as well get the fre if you wanna save money
The FRE sucks, the flimsy plastic 'screen protector' on the front is a joke not to mention it totally ruins the quality of the display, adds a ton of glare
Get the nuud people. After a week with the fre, their cheap screen protector will be scratched and destroyed. Especially if you live near sand like in florida. I'm close to being done with lifeproof all together.
Best case reviewer on TH-cam.
Chase Walling I agree completely after this video
Chase Walling I've been following him for a while now, love his reviews 😀
Chase Walling him and excessoize me
I like this guy and the tech reviewer
Monty owns them all.

Fre. The nuud one is hard to use because the screen stands up. It also cracks and scratches
Thank you so much for making these very in depth videos. I will use the Fré.
Won't be buying another Fre once I get a new phone.

Lifeproof now selling the NÜÜD with a tempered Alpha glass for the low price of $139.99
Log Home TF that ain't low
Smilewithbena seriously low price? That's premium pricing for the case lol
Have y'all ever heard of "sarcasm"?
Your dog is making sure you don't lie
I had a Fre for my 5s and it shattered my screen within a week, so definitely can't take face-down falls on uneven ground either. Got a Nuud and it was the best case ever, never had a problem. I just don't feel like dropping $100 on a Nuud for my iPhone 7
But the fre after a year of use the back of the case kind of expands into a bubble. As if the plastic stretched from the heat that the phone produces.
Can you use a tempered glass screen protector with the nuud
Are they hard to hear out of when making phone calls or listening to music without headphones? (The fré)
I have a question that it seems like no one can answer are u able to fit an iPhone 7 dongle/headphone adapter in the charging port where it is supposed to go or is it to right

Does the lifeproof fre for the iPhone 6s have the wrist strap?
Can I use a regular screen protector on the nuud for iPhone 7 Plus!? I just ordered one online and I'm worried that my screen will get scratched
I use a zagg glass shield. Will I have any issues with the nuud fitting my phone?
My lifeproof fre just recently arrived and I'm enjoying it! After a day though I realised that sound is a little more muffled than usual which is a small problem. I guess I'll just use the EarPods to listen to music and doing other stuff.
Hey! Could you please make a video comparing the Lifeproof Nuud + Alpha glass bundle for iPhone 7 vs Lifeproof Fre for iPhone 7?! Thanks!
I have a question is the nuud really good because I am going to get one?
hello can i ask you about this case Fre its possible to put the iphone 8 plus with 4D glass in this case? will be ok? thank you!!
They really improved with the fee 7 plus, idk about the regular 7. I purchased the 6s fre and quickly exchanged it for the nuud because the screen was a real nuisance. But the 7 plus fre is awesome! The screen protector doesn't bother me at all! It attracts dust and shit which can get annoying but I'm definitely not going nuud this time
Can't you buy a screen protector for the nuud on amazon
Can you please tell which FRE you are using in this video? Because the texture is different than the others FRE I have seen. Thank you
Do you know if any of the waterproof cases allow for a Qi adaptor to fit? I know a lot of regular cases are slim enough but I've no clue about cases like Lifeproof or Catalyst
Can you use a screen protector with the nuud?
I have the Fre for iPhone 6. Does anyone know if there's a way to attach a wrist cord to the Fre like the iPhone 7 version has?
No. They removed the attachment point on the 6 version of the case.
I say NUUD, I like how it looks more. The FRE looks kinda cheap on the front face side, and my biggest con for the FRE? What do you do if you start scratching your screen protector or when your thumb (or finger) that is regularly moving in one spot (Like scrolling) starts leaving permanent marks on your screen?..

Just my opinion, both are great and I used to have a FRE and I loved it, can't wait to get a NUUD for my iPhone 7 Plus!
Thx for the comment.
ForceablePlace Shut up
After having both for years the nuud is sooo much more durable... the fre wore away and failed to protect my phone in the water
I like your review but i notice it doesn't apply to 7plus. do you one for that? (lifeproof)
Does the screen on the Fre bother you when you text? I had one with my iphone 5 and it was kind of irritating after awhile and the touch screen response was slow.
It's gotten better with the newer versions.
Great video! Keep up the great work.
Where can I purchase the same wrist strap that's showing in this video?
Stephanie Chen it comes with it
which water proof case do you prefer?
You should review the Incipio Stowaway for the iPhone 7.
Guys, i need your opinion please.
Atmos x3 + Belkin InvisiGlass Ultra
or
Atmos x4
FRÈ works with an QI-Charger?
Is your screen protector extremely grainy on the fre? Mine is and it's bugging me
BlueJeansTV Mine is too. The screen protector diffuses the iPhone screen - this is why some people opt for the nuud! Wish Lifeproof would improve the screen protector :(
Great review, if I may put in a request can u do a review bout the IRing for the iPhones?
Does anyone know if I could use a glass screen protector with the nuud
Moises Ramirez yes you can
Does the fre come with the wrist band?
no
fre
Your dog seems really cool.
Hey, mr. Mobile I love ur review and I got a iPhone 5s rn Lifeproof Fre case and I luv it and I was thinking I don’t want to spend $100 on a case for a phone case. And in a few months I’m gonna get a iPhone 6 and I can’t decide which one to go with, Fre $10 cheaper or the nuud $100?
I'd stay with teh Fre for the iPhone 6. If you get an iPhone 7, the Nuud might be worth considering.
I have the fre and I like it that it protects my phone it’s just so ugly 😫😫😫
The Fre annoys me with the rainbow effect on the screen protector wish they would fix that till they do its the Nuud for me.
Thx for the comment.
Michael Teague Jr I can't stand all the dust that goes inside. I ended up buying tech 21 warrrproof case. It was only 50 bucks copare to the nuud for 75 bucks.
Funny thing is im using a lifeproof fre right now
Happy 100k
I have the life proof and it is very awesome
always pick the FRE and i can add almost any screen protector over it
Fre and great video as always.
I love my fre power. IMO I think the fre power has the best sound.

I love your dog!
The nuud is really a joke from lifeproof. IT should never have been on sale seriously
Muy buen video ,, gracias 😊
took me 3 weeks to get 3k views on my comparison vid. this guy does it in 1 day. so hard to compete
The nuud can come with the Alpha Glass
great videos
I would never sacrifice sound quality on a daily basis for a waterproof case.
Hi
Thank you.
I love your dog, he or she just sit there www good boy~~~
Fre for me
Fre for sure this year
The fre sound quality is horrible
it's one of the better ones I've used but it isn't great.
Mine works fine but I’ve heard that some have speaker and audio problems from a defect in the case.
Yayayayya! If I get the frē then my phone won’t drop on my face as much 😀
Awesome dog!!
That dog....4:12
Haha he just sits there so tentatively. He knows you're doing phone cases reviews haha!
He does.
Good video but the dog tho omg the dog! Too cute the way he's just sitting there like that!
I'd choose fre because it has a screen protector.
Life proof is a bitch like come on why do you have to pay more for the Nuud screen protected when it used to come with the case so you might as well get the fre if you wanna save money
The FRE sucks, the flimsy plastic 'screen protector' on the front is a joke not to mention it totally ruins the quality of the display, adds a ton of glare
Fre
The dog ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I liked the Fre up until the felt on the front started to fall off, and the mute switch rubber began to break. Nuud avoids this, so Nuud for me.
Case is way too bulky
Get the nuud people. After a week with the fre, their cheap screen protector will be scratched and destroyed. Especially if you live near sand like in florida. I'm close to being done with lifeproof all together.
But the 7 is already water resistant
it's not.
My bad
MobileReviewsEh but it is water resistant
FR E SH A VOCA DO not the same genius
FR E SH A VOCA DO water resistant and waterproof are different things
I rather go RAW
Team Nuud
good boy alert
i prefer the dog at your side...
Nuud
Slap a Phone Lasso on it, save your money. Use It. Don't Lose It!
His dog 😑
4th
Your dog 😂
lol i have fre
I randomly skipped.to 3:58 😂
สวัสดี
first!!
Neither because they are both not good in my opinion.
Will the fre work with a temperate screen protector?
2513ecko yes it does. For all my iPhones I never take off my screen protector I always keep it on.
FRE
