FRĒ SERIES Waterproof Case for Samsung Galaxy S8 (ONLY) - Retail Packaging - SUNSET BAY (LIGHT TEAL/MAUI BLUE/MANGO TANGO)

so upset! after 2 months, my phones volume buttons and power button no longer work with the case on. also, my phone dropped 2 feet onto a wood floor and the ENTIRE back of my phone has a huge spiderweb crack in it. NEVER buying from lifeproof again, I didn't spend $90 for it to fail.

October 2017 Update: I had to update my review to a 1 star rating as the fit actually got worse on the protective screen making the case unusable. As noted below, I have, in the past, purchased 4 Lifeproof cases for other devices and always been happy. There are clearly problems with the S8 case and it's highly disappointing that they were released.This is the fifth Lifeproof case I have purchased over the years, but the first for the Samsung Galaxy S8. I have obviously liked the previous products (one was for an iPhone, two were for Samsung Galaxy S7, and one for an iPad) but this one is disappointing. The main complaint is that the screen cover doesn't sit flat against the glass, which makes using the touch screen difficult and extremely frustrating. Aside from the annoying "click" you hear/feel when the protector hits the screen, the sensitivy is off. For example, when trying to through your email list, it often doesn't register the touch so you have to press harder, which often then opens an email instead of scrolling. The side swipe for the rounded glass is nearly impossible to access. For the price of this case, I was expecting a much better user experience/product.Prior to this case, I was using an Otter Box Commuter series case, which doesn't have a screen protector. I purchased the Lifeproof case becase I am going on a beach vacation and, even though the S8 is waterproof, I wanted the additional protection of the Lifeproof case. The fact that is provides total protection is the only reason I am giving this 2 stars instead of 1. I'll keep this case for the harsh environments but switch back to the Otterbox for daily use.

Worked perfectly at first. After 1 month the buttons on the side to turn the volume up and down were stuck. I tried removing my phone from the case multiple times to align the buttons correctly and nothing worked. This case costs entirely too much money to have the buttons stick after 30 days of use. I am a working adult and my phone stays on vibrate during work hours. I only turn the volume up when I go home for the day, and turn it down when I enter the office. I barely even use those buttons, and it was a hassle once they broke. I had to go into my phones settings and change the volume on the screen, once the case buttons stopped working.

I bought this case thinking it was going to be awesome. I saw the negative reviews and ignored them. BIG MISTAKE. Just like in a ton of the reviews saying that the volume buttons get stuck or stop working, I experienced the same thing. This started happening to me 17 days after I bought it. I remedied this problem by taking the phone out of the case and then putting it back in the case. It worked fine for about 4 more days and then I took it out the case again to try to fix the problem the same way again and I have had to do this about 8 times now. After those nearly 10 times, I just got tired of having to open the phone case up each time to fix the issue. I am going to return it to the manufacturer and get a replacement. I will write an update and see how it goes with my replacement case.Update: its been over two weeks since I filed my warranty claim and I have not received my replacement case from the manufacturer. Oh, and I had to pay $6.45 to get a new case shipped even though I was not at fault for the case failing.Further update: received my new warranty claim phone case on May 2nd, 2018. Case volume buttons completely failed and the case was un-usable on July 24, 2018.Don't waste your money on this brand and their cheap products.

You bought a Samsung galaxy s8, you need a case, otter box defender does not have a built in screen protector, that was always my go to, but you will have to keep buying screen protectors that are a pain to install and will cost more Inthe long run, many non name brand cases that offer full enclosure usually do not hold up and blur pictures, this case offers great protection, the space between the built in screen protector is the only thing I don't like, it's not that serious and given your other options this is the best, pictures still come out good no muffle in sound for me and it's waterproof, if your buttons stop working open the case and stick a small peice of paper under the buttons to lift them up

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.

I had the cover replaced after less than a year and I need to replace it again because the volume up/down is no longer responsive. I have ordered 4 covers and they all had the same issue and all around the same timing to failure.It is time to move on and that is a shame because I like the profile and fit. Durability is a question even if you infrequently use phone buttons. I paid extra $$ for this cover but it is not worth the extra costs unless there is a lifetime replacement warranty!

I bought this product based on reviews and website information. I like the design, lack of bulk of the case, the seal, ease of phone insertion and the protection it provides but the major failing is the poor fit of the screen - in the mid line of the screen when you push you can feel the contact when between case screen and the touch screen due to a small gap which is just about liveable with (but poor for the price), but from there to the curved edge the gap increases substantially, such that you can feel the physical push of the screen protector to the phone screen - really irritating and very poor. Previous cases with built in screen protectors (e.g. otterbox) I was able to gently swipe across the screen without any pressure, but not with the Lifeproof - it requires significant pressure to get a response to get the protector in contact with the phone screen. Expected more for the price and hype! Bought on Amazon dispatched and sold by Urban Tech, but the issue appears to be a design failure by Lifeproof. Lifeproof are clearly aware of the issue - I posted my review directly to their website 3 Jan 2018 and they have deliberately excluded it from the reviews, and I only received a response from them after 2 follow-up emails 1 Mar 2018, very poor customer service. They have now said contact your seller to make a claim under warranty!

I’ve been though a tremendous amount of phone cases that claim to absorb and eradicate, dust and debris from the Samsung Galaxy S8. I’ve expericanced brands such as; Otterbox, Peli, UAG, Gear4, Tech21 and Samsung’s generic cases. However; I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the LifeProof Fre - Samsung Galaxy S8 case. I work within a electrical environemt, by that, I tend to lume around dusty job sites, getting my hands extremely dirty, full of grit, dirt and dust. I’ve used my Samsung Galaxy S8 in the rain, with trentual downpours, that leave me soaked, whilst the phone stays completely dry. Although the price tag doesn’t do justice for LifeProof, I’d rather protect my device with a case that promises to deliver its expectations, and has done with the environment I work in. I tend to clean the case, once every three months or any build up and have removed the Samsung Galaxy S8. Upon inspection, no dust, no dirt and dry as a bone!

On the 4th warranty claim case as the air gap between the screen and protector is infuriating. The gap is smaller on the later cases but still quite annoying and also is getting more apparent.I'd buy a different case, lifeproof seem to just dream of a number for the price.

Excellent protection for a easily damaged phone. Dropped a few times since case arrived and is still in perfect condition.Only downside is there is a small gap between screen and cover which initially made phine less responsive. You eventually adapt to this though.

These cases are fine for the few weeks or so but then the clear panels get scratched resulting in your phone telling you to "clean your lens" al the time and the finger print recognition stops working.
