LifeProof FRĒ Series Waterproof Case for iPhone SE 3rd Gen (2022)/ SE 2nd (2020), iPhone 8/7 (NOT Plus) - Non-Retail Packaging - Night LITE (Black/Lime)

100% recommend. Had one of these for my iPhone 5s. The phone was in it for more than 5 years and came out looking like it had just come out of the box. I work in construction and the phone in the case went through the lot. Just upgraded to an iPhone 8 and made the error of buying a much cheaper Otterbox which was falsely described as being dust proof. This case seems to have been made identically. Despite people’s comments about the charging port cover being flimsy, on my previous case it never got damaged or malfunctioned. As for sound quality on calls I never had any problems with hearing people but after a while worked out that you sometimes have to pop the charging port cover open for them to hear you properly, especially if you haven’t cleaned the dust out of the recessed ports from the bottom of the case for a while (dust can still not get to the phone through these). This case is barely bigger than the phone itself. It isn’t that cheap but I can put this in my pocket and forget about what could be happening to my very expensive phone. 10 out of 10.

Another excellent case from life proof who live up to the quality and price you pay. Last time I had the nude see through back which lasted the two years but cracked and rubber deteriorated but no other cases can stand up to two years use as well so it’s just a matter of wear and tear they still protect the screen from drops even when old and battered! This time I’ve gone for the sleeker coloured option I didn’t want blue but it was available next day delivery and cheaper and I actually quite like the shade it’s brighter than I expected quite funky not a dull blue at all! It also means I can find it better than my conservative old grey one and nice to have a change. The feel of the case is flatter than the nude which has a lip around the screen so it also feels bigger and as I don’t look at the back that much so I probably think this one is the better of the two options. Love to see my iPhone but prefer to have it fully protected and the built in screen cover feels nice to use it’s not warped or bumpy but will have to wait and see if and how it scratches up yet.

I absolutely love lifeproof products. I have just bought this one to replace my old one. The old one I had on for two years, it kept my phone in pristine condition but due to the nature of my job (and my clumsiness) it was starting to look a bit worse for wear. The waterproofing worked great when my mate managed to capsize our canoe and it’s survived various drops down the loo. The fingerprint cover works well most of the time. The only problem I had with it was that people were becoming unable to hear me clearly on the phone. This was only a recent development but like I say, I’ve had the case for two years and I doubt any other cases would have lasted this long. I love it. It’s saved me £100’s in screen replacements for my iPhone.

These cases are brilliant initially and work really well for both waterproofing and shock protection, and I have tested both on many occasions (I kayak, paddle board and I have even taken it wild swimming in its case with full confidence and no issue, and they have done many a trip up a mountain with me). This is my 3rd case now and each time the build quality appears to be getting worse. My first case lasted around 2 years, so was worth the price tag. The second only about 18 months and this one now only a year if that. The rubber edges start to peal and as soon as that happens, the rest will fall away pretty quickly. It is a real shame the quality has dropped off so much, as when they are working they are brilliant and do exactly what they say they do. I am now starting to look elsewhere for a case, as I do not wish to replace so frequently. Which is a shame. Photos to follow...

I bought the first case in Mar 2019 for an iPhone 7/8 and now SE2020. Both of us were happy with the cases. However, we have since found that there is a constant clicking sound when recording (and then playing) video; the playback is rather like watching an old movie played on a cinema reel-to-reel projector - we had not noticed this before. Due to COVID19 we have had to use viedo a lot to create our on-line church services, so the clicking was unacceptable. This fault is mentioned on the Lifeproof forums. After some experiment, I think that it is due to a bit of slack in the back of the case which is amplyfing some inherent sound. Assuming that the Amazon warranty was only for one year, so we contacted Lifeproof direct and, after a few emails, they accepted that the case needed replacing. They also advised that '... authorized retailers in your region know that they have to replace a case for any reason for up to two years from date of purchase'. There is nothing on the Amazon webpage to say this! I took it up yesterday in a Chat with an Amazon rep, who initially agreed that a replacement was needed, but then said that my account had expired (!!) and that they would only offer me a refund for what I had paid in 2019 (strangely, the cost of the replacement case was £20 more than I paid - odd that). I declined the refund and stated quite firmly that my Prime account was current. After a few minutes wait, the agent agreed to send a new case. So, be aware of the fob off and stand firm. Hopefully the new case will not create the clicking sound on video. Watch this space. Sadly, the clicking sound remains and appears o be conflict between the 2 mics. Chat with Apple allowed a work-around: open the bottom Lightning slot and plug in a set of earbuds, or a mic - this cuts out the bottom mic, so no conflict.

I was recommended this case by many friends who, like me, are often outdoors, up a hill, on a crag or in the sea, but I was disappointed with the quality. The case feels good to hold, the plastic is nice and grippy so you don't feel like it will slide out your hand and it's quite slim, doesn't add much bulk to your phone. I did the waterproof test and no sign of water inside the case after an hour submerged in the sink. Big problem was after I inserted the phone and went to use the switch silent mode on and off button on the side. The plastic just ripped when I pressed the button! Meaning the case is now not waterproof! Very disappointed. Hopefully, I can get a replacement under the warranty otherwise I won't be recommending this case to anyone!

The case looks sturdy but the small door for charging was broken. The pin for the hinge has come out so it is not waterproof or completely protecting the phone - which is what I have paid for. I only discovered when a friend was setting up my new phone and we got the case out. However as it was over 30 days later I can't see any way to get it repaired or replaced. There is no option on Amazon order screen, it sends me to support site of Otterbox - it's well inside warranty but their return / repair pages state having to go back to place of purchase. I've been going round in circles clicking on different pages to get information. How is this resolved? Is the seller or Amazon able to provide guidance on how to go about getting this fixed? I wanted to call Amazon support but your page is so low on the screen that the line to type my phone number is below level of the screen

Good sturdy case. Thank you!

Ich habe diese Hülle jetzt schon zum 3 mal gekauft, die letzte im April 24, ich muss dazu sagen das mein Handy super klasse geschützt ist und immer im Extremeinsatz ist mit runterfallen, Staub ect, weshalb ich die Hülle auch immer wieder kaufe, trotz nicht allzu langer Lebensdauer. Bisher war es immer innerhalb der Garantie weshalb Amazon ohne muken und murren sofort das Geld erstattet hat!! Super Service ! Bisher noch keine vergleichbare Hülle gefunden und ohne diese würde mein IPhone definitiv nicht mehr leben ;D Eine längere Lebensdauer wäre jedoch für den Preis zu wünschen.

functions good. It is waterproof and dust proof. I've had for 2 years now and still durable. Fit is perfect and I don't care about the looks at long as it protects. On speaker it is sometimes good and sometimes not so good breaks up now and then

Die Hülle ist gut, aber leider ist bereits nach 3 Monaten die Klappe an der Ladebuchse gebrochen und hält jetzt nicht mehr zu. Leider keine Möglichkeit die Hülle zu reklamieren, da sie aus den USA kam.

Excellent case - buttons degrade when used alot.

I am really mean to my phones and I work in healthcare, so I have to sanitize the thing. This case keeps me from wreaking my phone when I drop it, then sanitize it, then throw it in my bag. all the button's work and the screen works exactly like normal, even though everything is covered. I do not know if it is 100% waterproof because I never do the testing like Lifeproof tells you to. I just stuff it in there and go. I do run outside in the rain with it, though and no problems. I even dropped it in the toilet once with my last phone and it was fine, so I suspect the waterproofing really is as good as they say. I would take off a 1/2 star if I could, though because for this run ALL the colors are UGLY. With my previous phone, even though I had a bulky case, at least it didn't look stupid. This one definitely does not look good, but it sure protects my phone!
