i bought a lifeproof case - which wasn't that great, the biggest complaint was that no one could hear me talk to them. does otter do better?

I would guess No. I'm a engineer that spends his days out in the field, and I thought it would be great protection for my phone, which is true howerver the otterbox cover is also soundproof.

I have used this item only once and it worked great. I dropped it in the Boise River and it came out OK working fine

I have the same problem plus when you try to talk to others it sounds like your are in a well, not pleased with this waterproof at all.

Talking on the phone I can hear clearly but I do not know how well they can hear me. So far I haven't had problems. Things like speaker and ringing is quieter(as expected) but I've put mine under water, been around drywall dust and hasn't leaked into the case to the phone

No ... I have owned several LIFEPROOF cases and this one does not meet the standards of my previous LIFEPROOF cases.

I don't have a life proof, I have an otter box and it works fine with that.

it doesn't matter the company doesn't back their warranty of it being waterproof....I purchased mine from Verizon and jumped through all the hoops to register my case~ 11 months later I TRIED to submit a claim and Lifeproof cancelled my registration! didn't know they could do that but they said I wasn't able to prove my phone was actually in the case! BAD BAD BAD....not sure why they would think I would waste $80 and then not use their case for my phone.....they suck!

I don't have a lifeproof case, but it has not worked for my iPhone 4. I bought 2 at same time. Neither works. I'm not sure why

LifeBox isn't bad. It's a decent case, Lifeproof is definitely a better case in my opinion in every aspect.

In my opinion this case is better. I had the otterbox 1st but then people were complaining that I sounded muffled. And I had trouble hearing people as well on my end. So I did some research and found this case. Way better! No more complaints

i wouldn't call this a "water proof" case . . . call it "water resistant" and check the info on the otter box website for performance claims and moisture exposure. Sound comes through just fine and i usually make calls with the ear piece/mic in part to ensure I can hear and be heard and the phone itself + case is a pretty large item to hold to the side of your head.

My husband has this phone with an otterbox, and I always hear myself echo when I talk to him, but not with anyone else. It must be the phone, not the case.

I am going to purchase the otterbox next. the griffenvsuvivor interfered terribly with calls. was not useable

Yes. I have a lifeproof too and the only difference I see is the threads on the headphone jack plug.

Sometimes I hear an echo but I haven't tried taking off the case to see if its the case or the phone. If I were you I would just get an otterbox case. I have never had a problem with an otterbox especially when I would drop it nothing would happen but this case I dropped it & my screen cracked. I was very disappointed with this case!!

Yes, My friend has the Defender and said the hard plastic cover made it difficult to make calls sometimes. That is why I bought the Commuter instead. I am very happy with my choice.

Yes, with the original LifeProof case that we purchased from Verizon. We even took it to Hawaii and my son shot some underwater pics. You would not be able to listen to music because the volume is lowered with the case on. In order to hear the music louder, you have to open the tab on the bottom, which of course would not make it water tight.

The sound is not as good as without a case. If you are in an area with noise around it is hard to hear somebody sometimes. I guess you could say yes it sounds like they are in a tunnel. They also say that I sound a little muffled. I think all the waterproof cases are like that I know people that have the lifeproof and it sounds the same way. Overall I am happy I went with the case I have dropped the phone twice on concrete and has not stopped working yet have not had it total wet yet except for in the testing when I first got it and it worked good then

By throwing it in the trash and buying a different case! That is what I did. I bought the obex off amazon with the clip for a great deal, but I could hardly Hear on it and the other end could not hear me. I threw mine in the trash and went with an otterbox preserver. I honestly would return it for a refund.With the otterbox, you put the phone in the case and snap on the back cover, bottom, top, middle. Done
