Lifeproof FRE Case Question

[MJ502]

Just got the FRE Case. I don't plan on using this case all the time. Just for when I go swimming, fishing and on vacation etc. What are your thoughts on taking the case off and on. Is that normal or a bad idea?

Yes, it is normal, and no, it is not a bad idea, in my opinion. If you peruse the threads here, you will discover a good deal of members switch cases like they switch underwear...(laughing)

This is how I use mine. We have a pool, so in the summer it's on when we're around the pool, at the ocean or the river etc. all other times it's off. It's easy to take on and off-- there's a notch on the bottom right where I use a dime or quarter just to loosen it and then pull apart gently with hands. Case has been on off more than 20 times and it still works perfectly... Just be gentle and don't rip it off. Enjoy!

Fantastic! Thanks guys

Only thing you should take care of is the rubber seal. Try not to tuck it when closing the empty case. I also recommend sometimes using a silicone spray to maintain the rubber seal.

Also, make sure you open the battery door every time. I popped one out before and thought I ruined the case, but it was ok.

Mine stays on until I'm ready to trade in for the next model. I may be analretentive but, I don't like dust and dirt on my screen. It's very distracting plus, the phone is too slippery and I could easily drop it. I also have the bike mount on the handlebars of my bicycle, and taking it off and on is just too much trouble!
Just my take on it . . .

Thanks for all the input everyone!

I had the FRE case and had the same issue. Had to remove mine as well.

I personally have not had any issues with that.

I had this issue when I had a 5s and switched to an Otterbox. I thought that Lifeproof had supposedly resolved this issue for newer models. Can those of you who are having issues clarify which phones you have? I am just curious!

 

[Jamie Wooten]

I had the 6s and had the issue of no one hearing me. I had to open the clip at the bottom. Finally gave up and moved on. Lol

 

[Jamie Wooten]

Did you call customer service ? they might send you a replacment without return

I didn't even think about that.

 

[Jamie Wooten]

Dude , that is why they sell you 79 dollars just for a plastic box

Hahaha well I did get it from an individual so I didn't know if the warranty transfers. Thinking about buying another new one though so I'll remember that.

It's worth a shot to go trough warranty. They don't always ask proof of purchase.
