No, I do not have a problem people hearing me when I have the case on. The case does not cover the speakers at the bottom at all.

Yes. The phone is covered very well. You need to open the case near the speaker for the other caller to hear you though. Otherwise it sounds like you're talking through a pillow.

I have no issues with the case muffling my voice. If anything it made the phone easier to handle.

I think it's because the case completely seals the phone. You can hear your calls, but sometimes it will be difficult. For example in noisy places. I've never had a problem with callers unable to hear me. The mic (where you speak into) and the speakers at he bottom have a special opening that allows sound in & out but is still sealed. The part you place by your ear is plastic. I think that is why hearing calls can sometimes be iffy.

I have not noticed any change in sound quality. I have not had any comments at all from others about my voice. BUT, my phone was in an Otterbox before this case.

On speaker phone ppl say they can hear themselves talking. But I don't use speaker phone much. And that's the only problem I have ever had! And yea the buttons work great, the case is really tight fit so it's like the phone doesn't even have a screen protector on it! The home button works fine for me.

No. I don't think the call quality is affected by this case. Did not notice any differnce in call reception, ability to hear nor in outgoing voice quality. We've had the LIFEPROOF cases and It was hard to hear my kids' speaking.

i've actually created a slit in the bottom of the casing from between the battery and phone to allow the sound to escape the casing. It seems like it is just as loud and clear as with the original case, but without a side by side comparison, I couldn't be sure of that. I also had to make an additional hole for the IR blaster.

I actually stopped using the case as it is very difficult for the caller to hear you and vice versa. The only option is to use your hands free set

No it's about just the same I think you get better sound out of the lifeproof case. Honestly I don't even used it anymore because it's very hard to hear when your on the other side of the phone.

It's a tiny bit muffled. I bought a few of these as gifts. One of the recipients is not b impressed. Also, I should add that it fits on the iPhone 5 but it's not as snug as it would be on the older models.

The sound is fine. People can hear me fine and I can hear them. At first I had problems.. I simply took. My phone out and reinstalled it in the case and it was fine. As for playing music, the sound is a but muffled. You can still hear it but if you want a louder, more clear sound you have to open the charging plug and headphone plug and then sound is loud as usual. Hope this helps.

Make sure you have a case for you specific phone. I initially was sent the wrong case. I have a 5C and I needed a case specifically for it. My case snaps on perfectly. The only problem I am having is that callers hear my voice muffled and I have to use the speaker phone all the time. Thus, making a private conversation impossible.....

Waterproof - yes, however, it's very hard to hear phone conversations with this case on

Yes. My husband had this case. He couldn't hear at all when making phone calls.

People can hear you. It's just that it comes out muffled sometimes. I think it's because the cover is so tight on the phone.So what I do is undo the bottom clip. Once I do that people can hear me clearly. Then when ur done close the clip and it continues to protect your phone.

There are holes for the sound to pass through. I don't have any problems with the sound coming through. This is an awesome case, not bulky and very snug, I love it. Hope this helps. I am very satisfied with this purchase, in fact I now have the same style in two other colors, lol.
