SmartFah: I had the Nuud and LOVED it. Only problem was, everyone I talked to said I sounded distant/far away. Had a total of three cases and I just couldn't get it sorted out (1st I sounded distant, 2nd failed the water test and the 3rd I sounded distant). At that point, I just gave up and just completely returned it to Best Buy. With the winter coming and my vacations next year, I think I'll definitely get my money's worth out of the Fre (even if I just use it off and on when traveling/in need of a little extra protection). TBH, I could've used this case last weekend. One of my buddies got married (outside) and we got caught in a torrential downpour. We are a techy bunch and thankfully all of our electronics were fine.
I haven't had the distant/far away problem with the Nuud. The Nuud was the first Lifeproof case I had, where the sound was perfect & I didn't get any complaints. I had the original Lifeproof on the iPhone 4, and the Fre when I first got the 5, and I would open the cover over the charger so that people could hear me clearly. Then I got tired of that and started using Bluetooth. With the Nuud though, I haven't had that issue.
