Great shock proof, water proof case until 1-7 days post warranty expiration, after which you can expect the front of the case to deteriorate rapidly. This is my fourth life proof, and all lived up to (died by) this standard. The rubber along the edge of the screen starts to crack and peel off, and if you use the ring/vibrate toggle on the side of the iPhone often, you can expect that to tear open by the 372 day mark too. If you only need temporary water protection, a quality freezer double zip lock bag will do the trick for under a dime (leave some air inside if you’d like it to float too – life proof doesn’t do that!). If you’re around water often, and accident prone, I recommend forking over the cash for the case and sucking it up when the case is compromised and needs replacement. Still cheaper to pay life proof than the phone insurance companies, and less hassle too!

I am sadly really tough on my phones, and LifeProof cases have been JUST what I need to keep them protected.

Last May I bought a LifeProof case and it protected my phone amazingly well. Because I’m so tough (I’m a country/farm girl, and go caving, etc….), the LifeProof case only generally lasts about a year before it’s too banged up and falling apart to do much good. Thankfully LifeProof (at least the case I bought) comes with a year-long warranty.

A few weeks ago I requested a replacement case to go along with the warranty, and the processes was incredibly simple. It wasn’t long before a new case arrived in my mail box. The only problem was is they sent me the wrong size. I contacted the company again, thanking them for their prompt service, and letting them know about the problem. I also told them that I was leaving the country in about a week, and *really* needed the new case before then.

The customer service was amazing! Not only did the rush a second (correctly sized) case out so I could get it before I left the country, but they also told me I could keep the previous case they’d sent me, and pass it along to someone in need. That kind of customer service makes this product so much more important to me.

As for the case itself, my only quibble with it would be 1) That it doesn’t last longer (but again, I think that’s my fault for being so rough on it), and 2) That at the about 9 or so month mark, the part of the case covering the camera lens was so scratched and cloudy I couldn’t really take pictures any more with the case on. But again! These are minor, minor things when considering that the case has protected my phone multiple, multiple times.

I didn’t have a LifeProof case for my first iPhone, and the phone only lasted a little over two years – with the last months me literally taping the phone together because it was in three different parts, with only a few wires holding it together. I’ve now had my current phone (which has always had a LifeProof case) for two and a half years, and it still looks practically new.

Thank you, LifeProof, for your product and AMAZING customer service!

So I was a little iffy about buying such a pricey case. But I have a 2 year old who loves grabbing my phone when I’m not looking and I cannot cant afford buy another. With that being said I was pleasantly surprised with this case. Although difficult for me to open I can feel the difference over other similar cases I’ve bought. And I do like it a lot. Seems well made although flimsier than I am used to. I didn’t do a water test because well I just don’t feel like it. I do feel it’ll be well protected against spills, splashes and raindrops. Which is most important to me. The hardest thing for me to get used to is typing since the screen sits a small distance away from the phones screen so it hits everytime And makes more noise than I’m used to. It may be due to the tempered glass screen protector that I put on my phone previously. Idk. But I am overall happy. Although the price still seems a bit high. I’ll update with any issues. One more thing I noticed is while t is harder to do. The silent button on the side does still work well. Just takes a little more effort than normal. So that’s a plus. I didn’t think it work. But be careful the tiny black price that goes in that spot will fall out easily if your not paying attention when putting in your phone. I almost lost the little hard piece and I knew it wouldn’t work without it.

I guess these are just made of a lot cheaper quality. I have an original I bought with my 5s when they came out. That case is durable and I wasn’t afraid to get my phone wet. I had to replace it as the rubber over ringer toggle wore through. The new case is just not what the old case was. No way would I trust the new case in the wet! Now I understand why some reviewers mention the screen protector breaking away from the case. It has half the bonding seam as the original! I was looking at a coworkers iPhone 7 life proof case and at first I thought it was a cheap knockoff, but it is the real deal.
This is the last life proof case I will buy. I gave it two stars because it is a case and does offer some protection, but it is not the quality of the originals.

I have purchase this brand case for several iphones. Here is the list: 1ea for iphone 4, 2ea for iphone 5, 2ea for iphone 7, and the last case is this one for iphone 5s.
I want to give review because this case is much less quality than the others. First, the edge, basically rubber type material around, is much thinner. Of course I will worry about what will happen if I drop the phone. Second, the case should be water proof, however, it leaks moist. I got this case before the new 5s arrival. So the phone was literally moved from packaging box into the case. For about 3 weeks of usage, there is moist inside the case, which you can see on the screen. Is this a real LifeProof Fre Case or knock off? Although everything else looks about same.
