A solid case from LifeProof...
597324
This is my first iPhone and my first LifeProof product. I am really satisfied with the quality and durability of the product. The touch ID works great. I have no issues with the sound quality when playing music, or hearing callers, or them hearing me. The only issue I have with the case is that the switch for the ringer is hard to switch back and forth, so if you turn your ringer on and off a lot, it's something to consider. Other than that, the case is waterproof and I know my iPhone is safe! Some reviews state that the charging door is hard to open and that the headphone screw is tough to open, I would have to agree with those comments to a certain degree, but I expected this when I ordered a waterproof/dirt-proof/shock-proof case. Thanks LifeProof for a great product and giving me peace of mind when it comes to protecting my iPhone.

I bought this case because my last two Android phones were waterproof, and I wanted to at least have a waterproof option for the iPhone 6 Plus for when I was going into terrain or wanted to soak with it in the tub.  The phone is large as it is, and I didn't see myself wanting to use a waterproof case most of the time, so I didn't want to spend a hundred bucks on a Lifeproof or similar.  So I was willing to take a chance.

The case is huge.  See the photo, and bear in mind this is an iPhone 6 Plus -- already a massive beast.  In red, this case makes the phone look like an Etch-a-Sketch.  It's obvious that the manufacturer scaled up an iPhone 4 case without much consideration for ergonomics.  The edges of the screen are lined up exactly with the edges of the case, which makes it difficult to register finger presses along the edges (such as swiping from an edge, or moving app icons from one screen to another).

The fingerprint sensor simply doesn't work with my fingers.  I tried to train it, and it just says that I need to cover the fingerprint sensor completely and won't get past that dialog.

The good news is that based on my tests, this case will keep your iPhone 6 Plus nice and dry.  The screen on the iPhone works reasonably well when wet, and while it does not register screen presses under water, it does still work pretty well when the screen is covered with streaks of it.

It also has a good grip, rubberized edges, and provides easy access to all of the controls.  I haven't tried using the built-in microphone, but the speaker is actually quite loud and clear, although it does make the back of the case vibrate a lot at high volumes.

And perhaps the best part of all, considering that exactly none of you will ever want this to be your main iPhone case -- it's very easy to get the phone in and out of it.  It's basically a hinged design with a plastic locking flap on one end.  You pop it open, pop the phone in, and snap it closed.  In and out.  Between the ease of use, the protective aspects, and the relative sparsity of terrible flaws, this guy has earned himself 3 stars and a place on my shelf.

Just received my case today, so far I have to say I am pleased. The case is slick without adding to much bulk to the phone considering its large size. I previously had the life proof case and although it is a good case people on the other end of my call could not hear me clearly, the life proof case also added quite a bit of bulk and made it difficult to manage the phone. I love the color and over all feel of this case. I haven't had it long enough to drop my phone so I am not quite sure how it will handle a fall. So far I am happy with my purchase :)

I purchased this case for myself when I got a new phone, and then purchased another for my daughter after her CUSTOM Otterbox got destroyed in less than a year with just regular daily use.  Love the color, and the case is slim and lightweight, so I can keep my phone tucked into my back pocket with no issues.  I've had an entire bottle of Gatorade spill on my phone with no issues, and it sat it a puddle of water for who knows how long after my two year old dunked it, and again, no issues.

My daughter's case, on the other hand, seems to have been defective.  After about a month, the mesh speaker screens fell out.  Of course, it was just after the amazon return window closed, so I called Lifeproof this morning.  They were AMAZING.  I explained what happened, and my CSR had a confirmation email sent regarding my replacement before we were even off the phone.

***One thing worth noting - during my conversation with the CSR, she mentioned that, if you plan on taking your phone near the water, Lifeproof suggests taking your phone out and doing a repeat of the initial water test, just to be sure you don't have any issues.***

The LifeProof case for the iPhone 7/8 is amazingly slim for the level of protection it provides. Unlike many other hardcore cases, this one adds very little bulk and the phone smoothly slides into a pocket. Like most LifeProof cases, this case provides water, dirt and shockproofing, at the cost of requiring a bit of extra work to charge the phone.  Not all cables wrok wit this case..

Of special note this case supports the fingerprint reader, but I did notice that accuracy was not perfect, unlike when the phone is naked, you really need to pay attention to the angle of your finger; perhaps a small price to pay in exchange for the level of protection.

I tested voice as well, and those I talked to had no issues hearing me with the case on, which is better than many other hardcore cases.

If you ever have a problem with a Lifeproof case, they'll ship you a replacement at a nominal charge.

Nice case. Totally waterproof, but a little inconvenient for touch screen use (nothing is ever the same as the real screen), although this case is decent at that. The other gripe I have is the openings for power and audio do not allow many options other than the authentic charger. Anyway, great case- for my uses I decided to swap it out for another one when not needing full lifeproof capabilities, but overall I was pretty happy with it.

I really like this case. It provides decent protection without adding bulk. My favorite color is blue, so it was nice to find something that would add a person touch to the phone, but, still showcase the phone itself.

There are dust flaps for the lightning port and earpiece jack. I think it's a nice touch, but, not completely necessary. I don't mind it, but, it can be a little tricky to plug in your cables in a hurry. I've gotten used to them, but, I suppose if it bothers you, you can just cut them off.

There's also a couple small holes where you can insert a wrist strap. I think that's also a useful feature, but, it didn't come with a wrist strap, so, yeah, I haven't used it at all.

NOTE: If you are clumsy or you let your kids play with your phone, this is probably not the case for you.

This case is very sturdy, stitching is solid, zippers are heavy duty.  Only draw back so far is the case is a bit clumsy when accessing the on/off button or any other side ports.  It is easier to take the unit out of the case if one wants to access the memory slot, USB or power slots, so that is why only the 4 stars (but I think it IS because the leather is so solid).  I suppose the argument could be made that sticking the Galaxy in a case rather defeats the idea of purchasing such a slim-line unit in the first place....

Well, back to the case - I like it.  It IS sturdy, provides solid protection for the unit, little nooks to put cards and what-not, a slip-in for pen or stylus (I just sent off for one of those - expensive, eh?  $10).  They even thought ahead to if you want to snap a photo - there is a hole in the case back large enough for the camera and the flash.  Did I mention the stitching is nice and tight?  That is a big deal to me, because it seems so many things nowadays are just put together with spit and glue.

The stand works very well, does not collapse.  Do understand that there is NOT a screen cover included - the pictures almost look like there is one, but there is not.  Purchase them separately (but be prepared for bubbles - almost impossible to keep out).  This looks like it will hang together a good long while, so I am happy with it.

One of the only after-market cables I've found that fits through a Lifeproof brand case. The opening for the charging port on the Lifeproof is pretty snug, and the head of most cables won't fit.

Otherwise, this appears to also be a high quality cable in all respects, and is a little longer and more flexible than the original Apple cable that came with the phone.

The iPhone 7 was just announced. While the latest generation of the iPhone is water resistant, as well as the newest Samsung phones; people with phone not as durable against the elements use cases to keep them protected. While Lifeproof is the the front runner when it comes to water proof iPhone cases, other companies try to copy their design. AOWOTO sent us their iPhone 6 waterproof case. I will say it's the best Lifeproof knockoff I've seen yet.
The case is the same size as a LifeProof case, and has some of the same features including the ability to still use the thumb print sensor, switching on vibrate, as well as having an included extension cord; allowing you to plug in your headphones, while keeping your phone water tight. Of course, before putting the case on my phone, I put it through the underwater test. I put the case together, filled the sink up with water, then left the case sit at the bottom for about 30 minutes. If the case comes out with the inside dry, it's good to go.
As I mentioned, this case is the closest thing to an actual LifeProof as you can get. The AOWOTO case snaps on the same way as a LifeProof case. Once the case is open you place your phone into the front half, then place on the back, snapping it into place along the edges. Once sealed tight, the phone is completed sealed off from the elements including dust and water. What I liked about this case is how it works with the silent/vibrate switch. Lifeproof cases stick with a switch mechanism, while the AOWOTO uses a dial that somehow toggles the switch on the phone. I did not think it would work at all, but it's actually very easy to use. The volume and power buttons were also still easy to push down. Everything else on the phone still works as it should. I will say, talking on the phone was certainly a little difficult the first time I used it. I made my first call to parents. Unfortunately, due to the badly muffled sound, I couldn't tell if I was talking to my Dad or my Mom. I really had to crank the headset volume to really hear people on the other end. Both the front facing and back camera still worked without any major blurring or distortion from the case.
The biggest issue I had with the case is something I've experienced will all different types of waterproof cases. Screen bubbling. Because the case completely surrounds the phone, there is a clear plastic that goes across the screen. Unfortunately it doesn't sit flush with the screen. Instead there is a slight air pocket. This creates a "clicking" type sound while typing or texting, and can even cause a hindrance when trying to do every day functions. Again, this isn't an issue with just AOWOTO cases. I've had it with other cases, included LifeProof cases. It just comes with the territory.
While the AOWOTO case is not a real LifeProof case, it is almost just as good. And for just a fraction of the price it can't be beat.
We received this item for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

While the Lifeproof FRE case is obviously intended as an all-around case, the selling point is the waterproofness, and it does this very well. After a short and simple installation process, I promptly tossed mine in the shower to see how it held up (no, I didn't test it first. I'm crazy like that). I'm happy to report that it performed as expected. There were no signs of leaks when I took it out and, aside from the expected "overload" of the screen when fully in the water stream (it simulates simultaneous finger-presses across the entire screen, so the iPhone just ignores all of them), I had no problems using it. The sound came through the speakers just fine, I had no problems changing the volume or flipping the mute button, and even took a few interested photos with it partially submerged. All in all, it handled the water perfectly. Bravo! Unfortunately, problems arose once I started using it out of the shower.

Lifeproof's solution to waterproofing is to include a full-length protective screen that's "welded" to the plastic case, so they can limit the areas where water can get in. It's a simple solution and other manufacturers would do well to imitate it. The problem, however, is that the plastic cover has some coating (or perhaps it's just the plastic itself) that causes a slight amount of refraction, resulting in a perceptible rainbow effect and loss of clarity when looking at the screen. When things are wet, it's not really an issue, but it stands out (to me, at least) when using the case dry. It's enough that I feel like I need to squint slightly. It doesn't mean I can't read/see the screen well. It was bad enough (compared to a bare screen or tempered glass protector) that I couldn't continue to use the case. If I expected it to be submerged (so maybe a day at a water park), I would absolutely put it on, but for day-to-day use, the distortion over the screen was enough to send me back to my Otterbox.

when all is said and done, I'm at a loss on how to rate the case. On the one hand, it absolutely delivers on the waterproof promise, and that's important. On the other hand, my concern about getting my phone wet (especially when it's a 7) is low outside of very specific circumstances where I see it coming. As such, it's going to come in handy then, but it also means I need a second day-to-day case. If we were talking about something a third the price, I wouldn't care, but if I want to enjoy the full clarity of the "Retina" display, a second case is needed. I am torn between 4-stars for the waterproofing and 3 stars for the display distortion that pushed me toward a second case. In the end, however, I feel that I have to review the case on a day-to-day basis first, and this is not one that I would use daily. So, in the end, 3-stars: "It's OK." If you live in an area wher you need waterproofing more often, then consider this a 4.

I was hesitant to purchase Lifeproof for the iPhone 5 after having read some reviews, but I did, and want to share a balanced review on the case.

It is the most sleek waterproof / dirtproof case on the market; sure, there are slimmer cases (for much less money) but none that offer the protection of this solution. If you don't need waterproof / dirtproof, then save yourself the money and buy something else.

The thin plastic layer over the display is of no bother. I do find that the upper portion of the screen takes a little more pressure, but it's a quick learning curve.

The case assembles and disassembles easily enough. My plan is to use it when it is raining, or I am at the beach and I don't want the phone to get full of sand.  Otherwise, I will use my "not so lifeproof case" just because it is slimmer and not quite as long.

While $80.00 might be a lot of money, the alternative of losing the phone due to a drop in the sand or a fall on a run is unattractive, so it is a small "insurance policy" to pay for protection.

The sound quality is superb, but a little tinny for what I hear, but those I speak to have no complaints. My phone syncs to my Bluetooth car speakerphone, so there's no change there.

I use a Motorola Bluetooth stereo headset, so the screw in waterproof plug and headphone connection is unimportant to me.

The lightning port is easily accessible, and I have no issues with it. The cover flap is easily opened, closed with just a fingernail.

The case has a lanyard loop connecting point. I might attach a waterproof camera float at this point if I use the phone near the water... just in case I drop it, I don't want it to sink into murky water where I can't find it.

Volume, home, and power button all feel good. The vibrate/silent switch isn't as firm of a feel as without the case, but the vibration feedback, or visual indication of the display, is an acceptable alternative.

Having used "waterproof" cases for cameras (another electronic device) in the past, just a word of caution... in my opinion, "water resistant" is a more applicable description. I have drown plenty "waterproof" cameras by being hit with a large wave, or trying to swim with it. The force of the water when the wave hits or device is in motion is simply too much for the seals to keep the water from entering the device. Therefore, I wouldn't have a reservation about standing in waist deep water and snapping some photos while I get splashed by waves. I wouldn't however, go snorkeling with the phone in its lifeproof case attached to my wrist as I believe that's a waterproof test that will fail.

In summary, it's everything the manufacturer advertises. If you want a slim case, shop elsewhere. If you want the slimmest lifeproof (waterproof, dirtproof, dropproof) case, this is it!

I got this case for my wife's iPhone because her old otter box was wearing out and she wanted something that had a lot of protection. I originally was not too excited to spend this much on a case that I though would be bulky and fairly dis functional. I remember the older LifeProof cases that were exactly that.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this case to not be very ugly and also much much better than the old ones. We love that the back is transparent and the Touch ID works. It's also nice to have no barrier between the screen. I'm also fairly confident that it truly is waterproof since I tested it empty before putting her phone inside.
The Touch ID does work although it sometimes takes longer than normal. We found that deleting and rescanning our finger prints after the case on fixed the delay and now it unlocks just as fast as without the case on.
Accessing control center and Notification Center is only slightly more difficult but not impossible like on some cases.
One oddity is that the volume switch motion is now reversed from before the case was on. It also takes a bit of force to get the switch to move under the case.
One thing I didn't like was how difficult it is to remove the case. It's supposed to just snap apart but it literally feels like I'm gonna break it.
Also notice that most headphone cables won't fit all the way in the hole and will require the included extension. What's nice is the extension is sealed so even with headphones connected the phone is still waterproof.
The case is not intended to be removed often.
Overall we are pleased with the case. It's a bit pricey but for the protection while maintaining minimum bulk I think it's worth it.
We are going on our honeymoon in a month and we will be much more comfortable going around with her phone in that case.

I love Lifeproof, and always protect my phones with LifeProof cases. This case is a great color and came exactly as described. On testing, it didn't let any water in, and it's been protecting my phone for several months now with good result.

My complaints with LifeProof cases are:
A) The sound on/off toggle switch ALWAYS falls apart after a while, rendering the case non-waterproof
B) The charging port is *just barely* too small to fit any charging cord except a brand-name Apple product, so when my Apple cord stopped working I had to order another one at full price and have to either take the case off or forego charging if I'm using any other cord.
C) The headphone jack requires a special (and very annoying) extender to use, forcing you to take the case all the way off if you want to use the headphone jack but have forgotten to bring the extender along. By pushing in so aggressively, use of the extender must have damaged some of the metal in my phone's jack site, too, because when I try to use a regular headphone jack with the case off I either get no sound, muffled voices, or sound in only 1 ear. I've gotten around this whole ordeal by buying wireless headphones, but they were expensive and I'd prefer to have a working headphone jack

This URBAN ARMOR GEAR case is rugged and that is what we were looking for in it. It looks great (clear, allowing the iPhone color to show through), the buttons and ports line up properly, neither call quality or signal strength are negatively impacted, and it is fairly lightweight. If you are looking for a case with these qualities, then we recommend this one.

If you would like to see pictures I took of it, please navigate to the case's main sales page, scroll down to where the "Most Helpful Customer Reviews" section starts, and look to the right of that area for the "Product Images From Customers" section. Great looking, tough case.

The case is well built and well designed. Its buttons and openings make the controls and ports accessible, allowing our daughter (it was for her salmon-colored iPhone 5c) to hook up the charger or plug in my headphones with ease. The design of this case fits the phone exactly -- and we do mean very snugly. That is a good thing, though it does take a little extra effort to get the case off once you have it on. As mentioned earlier, neither call signal strength or call clarity was effected by this case at all.

URBAN ARMOR GEAR's listing on Amazon notes that this case comes with a "twelve month manufacturer warranty", so if an issue arises I will return here to update the review and let you know what the issue was and how resolution was handled. I did receive this item gratis from the manufacturer and have put it through the paces to objectively find out how well it performed. My statements here reflect that testing.

This is a well-built case that fits the iPhone 5c perfectly. If you are looking for a case of this size and style for your 5c, for use as I have described above, then I completely recommend this product.

Go for it.

After having a lifeproof case on my iPhone for 2 years, I switched to the HTC One M8, which really doesn't have much in terms of cases. The cheap Incipio cases I got from the store protected from bumps, but not much else. Got this, threw it on and was impressed. Although it doesn't have a waterproof guarantee, this case is everything I enjoyed about the lifeproof case I use to have. It's solid, protects outstandingly, the screen protector feels like it isn't even there. It's rugged look is great to see, and protects as strong as it looks

decent quality, good functionality--nice case
