Yes. One on inside and outside of back of case. I was more concerned with the one I took off the inside. Was hoping it didn't effect the waterproofing.

Nope, it won't effect the waterproofing. Which color did you get and for which iPhone?

So I bought a lifeproof Nuud last night on Amazon during my midnight shopping spree, I receive the case today and tried it on and I'm not that crazy about it... I can't swipe up to use control center. I can't use my glass SP.
I'm sending it back tomorrow

You could always bring up the Control Center using Assistive Touch in Accessibility. It's easy to do and convenient. I use it to take screenshots.

I do have a Nuud too. It's very hard to swipe up. I'll be honest, the case is annoying. I only use it when it go to the water park.

I guess I've gotten use to it and the N??d has become my everyday/go to case. Since I'm out and about more this time of year it give me a piece of mind.

Yeah with the plus, it doesn't pocket very well. Just makes the phone huge. I have issues being able to swipe up control center. My AC+ is my piece of mind. I don't sweat it if something happens to my phone. I know I can't get it replaced same day.

This is true...putting the 6s Plus in your pocket with a case on isn't comfortable at all. I decided to go back to a belt clip (made by Encased)...

I didn't realize how much I missed belt clips until I started back using one.

Yeah... I have an apple silicon case on my 6s+ most of the time for casual dress...I use my Lifeproof FRE when I know I'm going around water or working outside...otherwise it's too huge... I'll also use it sometimes at work when I know I'll be around hazardous area... I wasn't comfortable enough with the NUD. I wanted it fully encased.. I too have AC+... Even a FRE can't protect from a 30lb boat anchor..

I just don't see where the N??d or Fr? is on the huge side. I'm enjoying all three of my LifeProofs...to each his/her own.

They sure do look nice though.. I'm just glad I'm not the only one that say it's too big. I guess there were a few things that bothered me with the LP case , bulky, buttons were to hard to push, couldn't use my glass SP and couldn't swipe up to use control center, it also couldn't fit in my designated phone pouch in my purse. But I still keep looking at them even after returning the pink nuud!

I'm glad the iPhones have plenty of third party case manufacturers. There's a case out there for everyone and every lifestyle.
