Disappointed good for me

This review is for life proof themselves not the seller! I am a diehard life proof case consumer as I have had several of them in the past one of them even went in a canal for 30 minutes and came out working fine, however, I got a new life proof case for my iPhone 13 and they are made much cheaper and I would not trust this in water anymore very disappointed! I know they say on the website they are going greener, but they are just going cheaper.

Pros
  • Holds phone great! Protection is well so far
Cons
  • The protective case may make the phone bulkier and heavier than desired

Less Durable than far cheaper cases…

The plug that covers the charging port broke off after very little use. It is only a small piece, but renders the case incapable of performing the task I purchased it to perform… I paid less than half for another case that is still fully intact after over a year of use. I don’t recommend this product. Which is sad because I like the camera protection better than the other case. This case also makes it hard for the face recognition to work a lot of the time. Save yourself the money, buy…

Pros
  • No need to worry about water damage while at the beach or pool
Cons
  • The case may attract allergens or irritants that could trigger an allergic reaction in some users

Not their best case.

I have had a lifeproof on every iPhone I’ve owned, from my first iPhone 5 to now my 13 Pro Max. This is the first one I feel they really dropped the ball on. Screen protectors get so easily smudged that the camera quality is poor, and Face ID rarely works. The hundreds of "dots” on the screen are very distracting. While the case itself is very protective of your phone, the cons make this case unbearable to have. I would have a hard time recommending this case to anyone.

Pros
  • Built-in screen protector
Cons
  • The case may not be comfortable to hold or carry

Bad packaging best in my review

I normally love life proof but they changed the packaging to be more eco friendly and the cases got damaged because it did not have the durability of the hard plastic to keep them from getting smashed

Pros
  • Long-lasting protection for your phone investment
Cons
  • The case may be tricky to install, requiring a lot of practice and patience

Not what they used to be ….

Far from what they used to be. Had an FRE case on my old iPhone 8 Plus for 4+ years with no real issues. On the 13 pro max, the screen isnt responsive at all , have to press hard. The mute switch was very stiff and small making it hard to use and call quality was greatly reduced. Had high hopes after using them for the last 4+ years, maybe they’ll make a revision and I’ll try again but for now it’s a no go

Pros
  • Allows full access to all ports and buttons
Cons
  • The case may not be easy to customize or personalize

Doesn’t keep out dust and dirt.

I used to love the LifeProof FRĒ series and I still do for some models but the iPhone 13 pro max FRĒ has been a disappointment. Dust somehow enters the case and I’ve ignored it until it affected my photos. Then I took the case off to clean and I couldn’t believe how much debris enters the sealing portion of the case. I need the protection but am very surprised by the lack of quality from this model.

Pros
  • Provides ultimate protection against water and other environmental hazards
Cons
  • The case may be too rigid, limiting flexibility in the phone's design

Do not buy from LifeProof!

They are the phoniest and worst company I've ever had to deal with in my 43 years of existence! Twice now my adult son and I have purchased their product, and have not heard once back from them with our issues. To keep it short.my son just recently purchased a $90 case, and they sent the wrong one. He has tried numerous attempts to contact them via email, phone call, etc. for months now. They have not responded AT ALL! And this isn't the first time. Need I say more? Buy their product through…

Pros
  • Compatible with both iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max
Cons
  • The case may not be available in all colors or designs

There’s so much of a gap between the phone and the case that at first drop it was the most regrettable purchase ever, bought it for my brother so no pictures but this was an expensive L

Pros
  • Slim profile doesn't add bulk to your device
Cons
  • The case may contain materials that are harmful to the environment

It’s a lifeproof on my review.

Same quality I’ve come to expect from lifeproof! Every iPhone I’ve owned spent its’ life in one of these. Only gripes I have about this case (fre - iPhone 13 pro max) screen protector seems to smudge up more easily than past cases and causes problems with Face ID. And I liked the older charger port covers because they’d flip down and stay out of the way. This one is more like otter box. Peel it out and hold it open to get the cord in. Minor inconveniences. Overall, still a damn good case

Pros
  • Waterproof seals keep water out and prevent damage
Cons
  • The case may not be recyclable or biodegradable

Not a good fit for the Iphone 13 pro max

the plastic cover doesn't sit flush with the iphone face. Lifeproof quality and attention to detail has severely diminished in the last couple years

Pros
  • Offers drop protection up to 6.6 feet
Cons
  • The case may fog up over time, limiting screen visibility
