I have a question for any one that has this case. I just received it yesterday from LifeProof and overall very pleased with it. I do however have one concern. On the lower left hand corner close to the headphone jack the case does not fit together tightly. It snaps shut, but I can stick my finger nail in the gap and open it relatively easy. I did water test it and it passed. Every where else the case is tight. I am going to call LifeProof tomorrow as they are closed today. Just wondering if this is normal or not. Thanks.
I've used the Seidio OBEX case, still own it. I much prefer it over anything lifeproof. The OBEX is a tank, of course as with all water proof cases the sound will take a bit of a hit but to me the Seidio was the least objectional. As I said, it's solid. Rock solid protection. Highly recommend it for this type case.
I have a fre life proof case for my 6s plus. I have NO issues with the sound being muffled on either end. And there is no rainbow effect on the screen either.
I never experienced the rainbow effect but your mileage may vary. There is an easy way to solve the rainbow effect however, just hold the OBEX or whatever you use over a bottle of baby powder and tap the side of the baby powder lightly to send a small puff of invisible dust to the screen protector and no more rainbow. Saw this demoed on a Otterbox Defender so I tried it myself, took a couple of practice tries to get it perfect but by golly it worked!That's just it. I want all the protection and abilities that the LifeProof Fre provides without carrying around a "tank". I expect to lose some sound with waterproofing but I'm not sure my OCD will allow me to bypass the "rainbow" effects that the screen causes.

Interesting. Did you just purchase your LifeProof Fre? Is it a updated version of the Fre, because everyone I know with the LifeProof Fre has both problems.
