" ... I decided to get this phone case because I was going on a 7 day cruise and I knew water would be involved. ... I received the case and did the water proof test and it passed with flying colors. ... Once on the cruise I did 3 excursions all of with included snorkeling. ... I had the phone under water taking videos and pictures and it held up perfectly. ... "
" ... I took this to water country and fully submerged it. ... "
" ... You really can use it under water too! ... "
" ... The case is sleek and waterproof, so I like that. ... "
" ... Took it to a water park and sure enough, my phone survived staying in my pocket the whole time. ... "
" ... Passed waterproof test! ... "
" ... I just got done at the pool for upwards of 9 hours and the case was spectacular! ... "
" ... This case was cheaper and it's the best waterproof case I have had. ... Conclusion: Merit waterproof cases are the best waterproof cases I've had so far. ... "

" ... AWESOME CASE, easy to put on too ... "
" ... Case was what i expected,went together perfect and so far so good,No complaints 😁 ... "
" ... There’s also a cute little plastic key thing . ... "
" ... Really like this case, unlike so of the other cheaper cases Ive bought this is far more robust and so far hasn't interfered with texting etc. ... "
" ... I like the design and rock hard feel to the case, It is a good case. ... "
" ... I dropped it in the toilet 😧 My phone survived ... "
" ... The case came with a wrist cord and baby shammy. ... Easy to put together and is great when it comes to all it protects. ... "
" ... I can happily say that my phone is still in tact (almost 1 year later) and I have dropped it numerous times. ... The case has taken on a gross coloring on the edges from being in my pocket, but if it means I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace my phone, that's fine by me! ... "

" ... No one could understand me when the case was on the phone! ... "
" ... It is hard for people to hear you when you call them . ... "
" ... The case covers to much of the mic so your caller can't hear what you're saying. ... You can't use this case if you want to have a phone conversation. ... "
" ... Several people have told me that it’s difficult for them to hear me. ... "
" ... Hard to hear or be heard ... "
" ... I also have noticed that sometimes people have a hard time hearing me talk on a call. ... "

" ... Which leaves me with the option of removing the case besides when I am in water-prone areas, getting ANOTHER case to protect my phone . ... "
" ... But the plastic screen scratches easily. ... "
" ... if I didn’t have my screen protector on underneath this case my screen would have been shattered because it cracked my screen protect in two spots-up and down the whole thing! ... Also when this happened the case was cracked open on the side. ... "
" ... I've had it less than a month and it cracked ... "
" ... This case when recieved had scractes in the screen and wasn't as durable as the last. ... "
" ... There is a protector inside of the case for your screen. ... I can't get them out, it came that way, the bubbles sealed between the plastic and the protector. ... "
" ... I drop them so often that eventually the screen gets to smudged and becomes unreadable. ... "
" ... -My front camera always looked clouded in my LifeProof case, my screen looked immediately brighter in this case (though some of that is because it’s clean) ... "

" ... Is worth the money. ... "
" ... Summery: great value for the price, 4 times cheaper than LifeProof with little trade off. ... "
" ... This case is topnotch at any price. ... "
" ... They are Better of Than the well known more expensive cases and for a fraction of the cost. ... "

" ... The case vibrates when I try to talk or play music. ... "
" ... Not only this, but multiple people I have spoken with says it sounds like I am mumbling and when I play music it is very distorted. ... "
" ... It muffles the sound from my phone’s speakers too. ... "
" ... However, it is VERY hard to hear the other person talking unless you put it on speaker. ... I think that's mostly to do with the design, which has a small bump above the earpiece which means it can't transfer sound as well. ... "
" ... However, when taking video there is a buzzing noise upon playback (with both the case on and off, it's a buzz/whir like an old-fashioned projector). ... There is also definite reverberation when my phone makes noise, like an echoing inside the case. ... I will add a video to show the whirring noises that show up upon playback. ... "

" ... Don't dare lose the headphone adapter like me as you can't find a replacement one that fits - the company gives you a link to purchase a three pack of them that fit a Lifeproof. ... "
" ... The charging port has enough space for lightning cables wider and thicker than the apple one. ... And if you want it to be a tad louder you can just open the lightning port cover and it is fine. ... "
