  • I Used the Otterbox Fre while on vacation in Barbados for two weeks. While we partied in rain, having paint thrown on us, dipping in the pool and also being around sand all day, how did it hold up?!

    thank you for the review! this is perfect for what I’m looking for! I don’t need an everyday case so I don’t mind the speaker thing. I mainly want it for when I’m swimming with friends or going to similar events! The waterproof is what I’m looking for! Do you think the 14 plus would fit my 15 plus? I saw they were the same dimensions? I might try it out for the cheaper priced case!

    Have you ever looked into, or tried the Catalyst Total Protection case and if so, what were your thoughts ? I've had a couple Lifeproof Fre cases in the past. I got tired of the hard plastic swivel door for the port, so I went for the Catalyst Total Protection, which had rubber plugs on the port, for my last 2 phones. However, I see that Otterbox have now updated the Fre with a rubber plug for the port as well; that said, looking at the design of both I believe the Catalyst is easier to open due to a small tab which is made to be grabbed, especially if you have gloves on (I live in a cool climate)­. I also liked the clear back on the Catalyst, vs. the solid black on the Fre, and I thought that the sound quality was better with the Catalyst. In terms of quality of construction and toughness, I thought they were comparable.

    Does the iPhone fit with a screen protector installed? Thinking on buying for the 15 Pro Max, but I know sometimes tiny specs of dust/sand can get in and ends up scratching the screen. I know this because I used to have this case for the iPhone SE 1st gen. So far from the pictures on their website, this seems to be the only one that is fully closed, it doesn't have the old cut out for the silent switch some other cases have.

    I've always used the Lifeproof fre. Watched your review and ordered a case for my 13. My most important thing is dust protection from sawdust as I mill logs on my sawmill, and woodwork a lot. Drop is the second most important thing. The biggest failure mode I have with these cases is the soft grip on the outside wears/tears off from all the in and out of my pocket. thx.

    Waterproof cases are really practical. I was on vacation in Greece in July with my S23 Ultra and my case of choice was the Ghostek Nautical. They make great waterproof cases as well and I was really happy with it, did a great job. It has crazy tight water seals for the s pen and the charging port 👍🏼

    • @SubSonicsPixelators
      @SubSonicsPixelators 7 місяців тому

      Ghostek is the exact same as oak tree and a few others. More than likely same owners or alibaba specials. Not bad cases just not the best as far as I can see (I have an oak ridge on a iPhone 12 Pro Max)
