Lifeproof FRĒ SERIES Waterproof Case for Samsung Galaxy S8 (ONLY) - Retail Packaging - SECOND WIND (DARK GREY/SLATE GREY/LIME)

Not to thrilled with the failing of the volume buttons on three of the higher priced fancy colored cases. Waited a few months for the S8 lifeproof to be released only to have both fail within a year and the other replacement now has no volume control again. The S5 cases are still in perfect condition after 30 months in the field and 18 months with the grandkids! Zero cracked screens in 4 years. Zero water, snow, or dirt inside even my work crawling around under houses with my phone in the side pocket of my Carhartt jeans, I somehow rolled over a rock or concrete, dented the screen protector pretty seriously but no damage to the phone (volume buttons were already failing) so I purchased this one. I will buy again if needed. I do hope that Lifeproof corrects the issue before we move to the next phones.

It has no problem with the fingerprint sensor, actually the thinnest part of the case, and actually makes the speakerphone volume seems like it's coming from there now. And no issue with the speakerphone AND the regular ear speaker too! The buttons worked perfect without the need to press harder as the other reviews claimed. Overall it's almost perfect, fit and high quality. If I have to pick bone from an egg, the side edge of the screen is less sensitive now probably due to a fine gap between the screen and case, and I still kept my film protector on within the case, so maybe my issue, but the top and bottom edges swipe works perfectly! That's why I suspect the other negative reviews are fake.

I purchased the LifeProof FRĒ SERIES Waterproof Case for my Samsung Galaxy S8, and it has been excellent! The case fits perfectly and feels very sturdy, giving me peace of mind that my phone is protected from water, drops, and dust.The touchscreen remains responsive and easy to use, and all ports and buttons are fully accessible without removing the case. I’ve used it at the pool and on rainy days, and my phone stayed completely dry and safe.It’s a bit bulkier than a standard case, but the added protection is well worth it. If you need a durable, waterproof case for the Galaxy S8, this LifeProof FRĒ case is highly reliable.

Pros: Full phone coverage, phone looks like new, screen/drop/water protectionCons: Volume button stuck after 6 mo. use, have to press screen slightly harder to make contactAfter much debate in shopping for an S8 cover with a screen protector, I ended up taking a shot and ordering this case and the Ghostek Nautical. Both arrived, I checked them out and decided on the Lifeproof, sending the other one back. I'm not particularly hard on my phones, but when I do inevitably drop it, I don't want to take any chances. Yes, the screen cover sits up off the glass slightly, meaning you have to push a bit harder to make contact with your screen, but I actually like this (most of the time) because it's a very minor effort. One-handed texting is a bit harder, but I have really small hands to begin. I've used this case now for six months, with no complaints. Until last week. My volume button on the case started failing. I take a lot of screenshots, so this really irritates me. The odd thing is that I can still use the volume up/down buttons, and the power button with no issue- it is only when I try to use the power & volume down button to take a screenshot that it gets stuck. I learned that you can also take a screenshot using the side of your palm on the S8, so I think I will keep this case until the volume button stops working completely. My phone looks like new, despite multiple drops, so it appears to be (mostly) doing its job.

Tried many different brands of cases, but this one is hands down one of the best cases for my S8. It's all around protection is what other phone cases lack, especially around the phone jack and power port. Camera and finger reader and easily accessible. And comes with a built in screen protector. The only downside are the side buttons, over time they will wear out. This will make the phone hard to function and would be time to buy a new one.

I recently bought the Galaxy S8 and did TONS of research on what kind of protective case to get for it. I had this case in mind but after reading a lot of negative reviews I furthered my research to some other options like the Otterbox Commuter and Defender cases. I personally did not want to have to worry about buying a screen protector in addition to the case itself - let alone applying it properly. I liked the idea that this case had the screen protector built in but many reviews claimed that it was annoying because it clicked against the screen when touched. I feared that it would be irritating to deal with. So after a lot of research and deciding against other cases I just decided to order this case. When I got it in the mail and put my phone in it I was not disappointed. It is sleek, provides a lot of protection for my phone, and the screen protector fits right up against the screen. I have had it for about a week now and it still does not disappoint. I can't even imagine the screen protector not being snug against the screen as I read in the reviews. I have a friend with the Galaxy S8+ and he has the same case on it and it does not click and he loves it. Overall, I would highly recommend this case.

Updated my review, as the case leaked rather soon after installing it.- Appeared to be watertight at first, as there was no water infiltration after washing with soap and water in a sink. However, the first time I took a shower with the phone in the case (set it on a shelf against the wall, there wasn't water spraying on it constantly and it wasn't submerged), it leaked a lot. This is very disappointing as the Lifeproof S7 case usually did not leak in this situation, and the Ghostek Nautical case for the S8 I am now using hasn't leaked yet either. Given the main reason most people will choose this case over any other is its claim to be waterproof, this is extremely disappointing.- Lifeproof's replacement policy charges an additional "handling" fee. This is for a product that was defective out of the package! Disappointing, considering the high cost.+ Thin overall. Feels thinner than the Lifeproof S7 case LifeProof FRE SERIES Waterproof Case for Samsung Galaxy S7 (Not for S7 Edge) - Retail Packaging - CRUSHED (PURPLE PADDLE/SKY FLY BLUE), and much thinner than the Ghostek Nautical Galaxy S8 Waterproof Case, Ghostek Nautical Series for Samsung Galaxy S8 | Slim Underwater Full Body Protection Shockproof Dirtproof Snow-proof Dust-Proof Protective Adventure Swimming Diving (Black).+ Charging port latch seems snugger than on the Lifeproof S7 case. This seemed to the be the source of most leaks on that case.+ Iris recognition works even with case on.- Wireless charging works but because the phone won't charge when it reaches 40°C, charging reaches a certain level then stalls for a long time. Extra insulation from the case contributes to this.- Fingerprint sensor does not recognize a fingerprint trained before installation and is unable to learn a fingerprint after. Fingerprint sensor scrolling function still works, but that's hardly a consolation.- Edges of the screen are difficult to activate.- While the sides fit perfectly, better than on the Lifeproof S7 case, there is a paper-thin gap at the top and bottom where the front and back halves meet. The back half has a permanent bend to it that seems to be the cause of this. By contrast, the Nautical seems to fit snugly all around.~ The openings for the charging port, audio jack, lanyard cord, and fingerprint sensor (since it doesn't work anyway) all seem like liabilities, potential points of failure when it comes to leaks. Would prefer a simpler case without all that in a sleeker design with a snugger seal all around.

UPDATED - I've had to change my review for this specific case. It is the 2nd one I have bought in the past year and both times, the volume down button stopped working after only a few months. The case itself is still waterproof, it seems the design for the Samsung S8 is very poor and explains why Amazon and Wal-Mart can offer it for almost 75% less than the price listed on Lifeproof.com. I still stand behind Lifeproof cases as whole, just not this model.I have bought about 1/2 dozen of these cases over the years for iPhone & Android phones and they certainly hold up to their ad promises. They may seem expensive but are worth the money when comparing the actual cost of the smartphone. One thing to keep in mind though, is the waterproofing promise really only holds about 1-2 years depending on how hard you are on the case. I have taken many cases to waterparks and the phone stays dry as long as the inner lining has not been compromised. The only downside is that the touch screen acts a little wonky with water droplets on it but that would happen with any case. I have kept the phone in my pockets with only the case as the waterproofing and it has held up against submersion in water, rides that mimic rapids, slides, dunking's, etc. I even a couple for others as a gift - one trains dogs on a regular basis and the other is in law enforcement. Both of their cases were put through the ringer to the point that they basically disintegrated but the phone itself stayed in perfect shape and looked like it came right out of the box after a year or more in the Lifeproof cases.

This is my first Lifeproof purchase and must say I am very pleased. I am extremely careful person when it comes to my cell phones, so when my shiny new S8 came out of the box with all the glass, I knew I couldn't get away with a flimsy 20$ case and chose this case.I was a bit doubtful at first, I didn't know how good this case could be. But after having it for one week, I feel thoroughly satisfied and consider my phone safe from any danger, whether it be water or drops from heights, in this case. It is truly Lifeproof, and this is coming from an equestrian who drops her phone from horseback and puts it through all kinds of situations.The case is well made, solid, all buttons and cutouts are very well made and accessible. The screen protector works well, I haven't had any problems with screen/touch sensitivity. It even works with the wireless charging pad (although the phone can get a bit warm after a while).Overall, this is an excellent case for the S8, I am very happy, both with the quality/protection of the product and also the eye popping colors, with my purchase and would recommend this case to anyone. I will definitely be a returning customer for their products in the future.

Took it down to Antarctica for a year and I am a diesel mechanic. Definitely stood the test of time and protected my phone.

Wer wert auf sein Telefon legt und es auch draußen in der Natur nutzt, der kommt an LifeProof nur schwer vorbei.Egal ob diese Hülle für das Handy meiner Frau, oder auch die Hülle für mein iPhone, LifeProof schützt den Inhalt vor äußeren Einflüssen.Ich bin seit Jahren begeistert, und auch wenn viele der Preis erstmals abschrecken sollte, es lohnt sich.
