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 work in a very harsh enviroment and this has stood up very well. I have religiously used otterbox in the past with my previous iphones but this time it really didnt stand up very well to the bumps and knocks it recieves and I actually had to screen breaks. I decided to try this case out and cant fault it. The waterproof aspect wasnt something I really needed but figured it would keep dust out which was something otterbox cases were not very good at.I have never ever immersed it in water so cant comment on that side of things. I know that it is not waterproof now anyway because the membrane over the home key has become detatched in the last few weeks..Nearly two years of use though so I am not complaining.Some people comment on being unable to hear it very well with case on but that has never been an issue for me when on phone calls.Listening to it hands free has never been perfect but certainly not a major issue to me. I get some vibration to the sound but it may be due to it having been dropped various times onto concrete that has disturbed the speaker rather than the case causing it. I havent tried listening to it outside the case to find out to be honest.The fingerprint ID has been pretty good to be fair with the case on but again I hardly use it due to wearing gloves the majority of the time. Its never been something I worry about.All in all I cant reccomend it enough. Ok it has some wear and tear now but after the time its had with me its done exceptionally well and I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one.

This case allowed my phone to survive a drop into a very hot washing up bowl of water and washing up liquid and greasy deposits of the Sunday lunch. Thank goodness I had closed the charging cover. Moral of the story, ignore your phone if it rings when washing up.It offers reasonable drop protection, I have dropped my phone a few times, getting out of the car, getting in the car and loading the boot of my car. Moral of the story, avoid using your phone when distracted and near your car.The screen cover has protected the screen from screws, keys, stones from the beach and other detritus that I find in my pockets. Battle scars are visible on the screen protector but my phone is unmarked.There are however compromises,the screen protector is not as slick as using the touchscreen without it. The cover on the fingerprint reader is so hit and miss I stick to using the code to open the phone which since the upgrade that removed the 'swipe to open' is an annoyance. It does effect the volume but not to a great extent.Also the rubber tends to fray a little around the buttons after a bit of use and it needs a good hard press to switch the phone off.Yes there are trade offs and compromises but my phone remains pristine and above all else the case doesn't add much bulk to the size of the phone. Would be nice if it wasn't so expensive.Just beware of the imitations and fakes that can be found here and there and I have been caught out in the past.

My old cover had taken 2 years of constant wear & tear, I do a lot of walking running hiking cycling and working & it’s been in my pocket constantly the whole time and it’s only just started to wear through in a couple of places but my phone is still in absolute mint condition, it’s done incredibly well so I’ve got no qualms with replacing the old one it’d taken such a bashing. Below is my original review which still stands as far as I’m concerned. I like the way the headphone adapter converts to standard mini jack outlet.Peace of mind when I'm out in the wilds and also in my work environment. It also affords very good protection to the camera lens which on the iPhone 6s is otherwise quite vulnerable to scratches as it protrudes from the back,and so can easily become scratched when you put it down. The good recessed design of the lifeproofs own lens means that it is very unlikely to become scratched. And the picture quality doesn't seem in any way diminished either when using the lifeproof case.Also the the 6s's very nice but very sleek smooth rounded edges just meant that it was very likely to just slip out my fingers with my dry skin, however this is not at all so with this case. I prefer the case to an insurance policy, and let's face it the case is easy enough to replace if ever necessary unlike components on the phone itself.In fact my phone now lives in its case 24/7 and will do from now on.

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 isflatter 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.

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.

I've had more cases than most people have eaten hot dinners. I've always gone for a protector case as I can be hard on my phones. I have an iPhone 4 from release date and it's still in mint condition while other people have destroyed them in days. I saw this case on special offer and took a chance. It's a piece of cake to fit, but I'd recommend using a decent microfibre cloth to clean your screen and the inside of the new case. Slip your phone into the case and then clip on the back. Press very firmly all around and your done. No screws to lose, no rubber inserts to struggle fitting into ports. I would strongly suggest that if you use fingerprint recognition,delete your prints and then add them again but with the charge port cover open to get a better fingerprint ID. 3 work colleagues have already ordered these cases after seeing mine.

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.

I've had a Lifeproof case on both my iPad mini and iPhone since purchasing them two years ago. They are fantastic cases offering great protection. The items inside look like the day they were delivered with not a mark on them. They have been dropped, dunked in the sea (for photos) covered in sand and generally 'used'. This one was on a deal of the day so I thought I'd have a spare, not knowing the life of the membrane on the touch button, (am sure the rest of the case will last forever). Unfortuantely the colour on my computer screen looked dark graphite grey but the actual colour wa very much paler so not for me.

More or less as expected, well built and defiantly gives you peace of mind with a £600 phone. Fits together well although not tried it under water but defiantly better when using it in the rain.No audio issues, would have thought muffled sound with it being water tight but none. Callers say can hear me clearly.Home button and finger scanner work fine.Only niggle I've found is sometimes using Apple Pay the terminals say hold closer even when the phone is flat against it.Very impressed overall and so glad I went with the more expensive option. Will update once I have more use out it.

The case is easy to install and seems to offer good protection. It has a nice slim profile and feels a reasonable size in the hand (iPhone SE version).The screen plastic is slightly loose so there is travel between your finger touching the plastic and the plastic touching the phone screen but it is functional and not too intrusive. However, the plastic screen feels very cheap and suffers with glare in sunlight. The cheap feel of the outer plastic combined with the screen makes it feel like you have a cheap, substandard brand of mobile phone.

Great protection from this case on the job site. I am a joiner so the phone can get quite a few knocks. This is the third life proof case I have had for my phones and find it to be the best tough case I’ve had. Totally waterproof also. Tried it in the pool this year videoing my son swimming underwater (albeit only for a minute or two) but worked perfectly. Have one for my iPad as well. Maybe a bit expensive, but like everything else in life. You get what you pay for.

I think this is a brilliant product, which I'm using for the iPhone 6S. I only bought it to use when I go inline skating, but I've found it comparatively stylish and unobtrusive given it's a tough water proof case so I've got it on all the time. Yes, the screen resolution is not quite as crisp but it's still pretty good and the touch screen is responsive. I no longer have to be concerned by how I carry the iPhone around, whether I might drop it or rain etc...

Great product.... works great under water and feels great as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the case weight and access to side buttons, the sensitivity to touch is not perfect but good enough.The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the front cover is so easily scratched. Unlike other covers and screen protectors I have used the fre was just too prone to scratches. Just 1 week in and I have annoying white scratches every time I look at the screen.

On the whole and excellent product. I have just pirchased my 2nd case. I get about a years worth of use out of it as i am a tradesman and the case gets alot of action over 12 months. Dropped, submerged and covered in dirt, my phone is exactly like ot was the day i purchased it.Only one draw back is the little bit of rubber over the mute button breaks after only a fee months, but lifeproof will exchange under warraty no problems.
