Lifeproof Fre and Nuud for iPhone X and 8 Plus - Full Review By zollotech

Hi everyone Aaron here for Solo Tech, and here we have some new lightproof cases or newer lightproof cases for the iPhone 10 and the 8 plus, and I've been using the one for the iPhone 10, the lightproof are case for quite some time now, using it while I'm on the water, and a lot of you might be wondering. Why would you need this if you've got an iPhone 10 with an IP rating where it's water-resistant? Well, the reason you would really want. One of these is because, while this may be water-resistant, if it's damaged by water- and it's not really meant to be in the water without a case or something protecting it, if it's in the water, and it gets damaged, my water apple will not cover it under its warranty, unless you have Apple Care with accidental damage. So because of that, you really should have it in a waterproof case, if you're going to bring it in the water regularly, whether that be a pool or out on the ocean or wherever you're using it in snow or anything, you really should have it protected a little better. Because of that, so anytime, I'm out on the water, I put it in this case now before you use these cases when you first get them you're supposed to water test them and I wanted to show you what that looks like. So what you do is you take your cases, make sure they're sealed just like this and the difference between the two.

This is the free case. This is the nude case. This one has a screen protector built in this one does not, so this is just the screen exposed if you'd rather have that, and what you want to do is take these cases, put them underwater and leave them there for 30 minutes to make sure they don't leak once you've done, that you're good to use them. So let's do that now, and I'll show you what that looks like set a timer for 30 minutes now after 30 minutes is up, you want to check and make sure it's dry and as long as it's dry you're good to go, and you can see this is the iPhone 10 case. It's got a rubber seal around it, and I've been removing it and putting it back on and off, probably about 10 times now, and I've had no issues, and it is kind of flimsy plastic here, so you're not going to get a lot of impact protection, but it's really meant to seal out dust and dirt.

So you've got a screen protector or kind of protector on the back here protector for your camera and then on the front. You've got a screen protector, so let's go ahead and put the phone in it, and it sits like that. Now. If you have a glass screen protector on the front of your phone, you may have some issues with the fit of this. You may need to remove that, so we'll put it here like this and then just snap it into place.

You just work your way around and everything is sealed to show off the buttons. All the ports and you'll see there's a little rubber seal here, we'll just seal that- and this does have an effect of being a little muffled. But it's not anywhere near what you would think. People can hear you pretty well, you may need to turn your volume up slightly. Well, it's slightly more, especially on this one with the built-in screen protector.

I wanted to show you what footage is like using the camera and I use this, while I'm on my C do or jet ski out on the water, and one of the effects that this has is it actually kind of silence? Is the can't the camera itself in the microphone because you've got a covering over it. So it kind of acts. Is a wind filter over the microphone itself. So when you're going really fast, it helps with the noise, and it's not quite as windy, and you get more of the sound as opposed to the wind now face. I'd works, fine, no issues there and the touch works good, except for maybe in the corners.

You might have to push a little harder because there is a little of a gap because of this screen. Protector, everything's, nice and sealed, and the buttons are a little difficult to push in the vibrates, which is a little difficult to push other than that. There are no issues, so let me show you the other case, and it comes with this little piece here and that just helps you remove the case when you want to take it off. So you just do this, and then you have to use a good amount of force. So you want to be careful as you pull this apart now.

Here is a nice rubber seal around the whole screen or the whole front, and then you've got a seal for your fingerprint and up here now: here's the 8 plus and when you're doing this, you need to make sure that this little switch here fits on the vibrate switch here or silent switch properly, and then you've got your buttons and everything just make sure everything's in place, and then we're going to take this and apply it just like we did the other one. Just snap down go all the way around, and we're good to go. Then we can seal it again. It's very similar to the other one got your port exposed and then your pieces. Now this one.

Of course, you don't have a screen protector. You can get an aftermarket screen protector for it that will fit in this space, but most people that have this one don't want the screen protector because you like the phone itself and to touch the glass. So it's sealed just like this one is sealed, and I thought we'd test this a little extreme, maybe in a pool and see how it goes. So, let's do that now, I, let them both sit underwater about three or four minutes and then I. Remove them, and you'll see the touchscreen doesn't work while underwater, because it's a capacitive touchscreen, so it won't work on either of the phones.

You'll see the 10 or the 8 plus you get the same experience, but they appear to be okay when they're out of the water, both touchscreens work, just fine, the 8 plus and the 10, but let's take a little closer look at them. Now no I just got back from the pool, and you can see there's a lot of condensation, and it looks like maybe water inside, but I'm, not really sure. So, let's open it up and take a look. So, let's pop these sides off here and see what we've got so, let's see if it's wet inside it is a little, so I'm not sure if it's designed for impacts like that and the water. But you can see there is some water on it, but it's fully operational like you would expect, and it seems to be working just fine.

So overall it did an okay job if you're using the one without the screen protector, you may want one with more protection as this one doesn't look like any water got in. So let's open this one up, and I was right. There's no water in it whatsoever, and we're good to go with that one. So that's it for lightproof. Let me know what you think in the comments below I would get this one.

If you're looking to do anything serious underwater, this one did ok, I think until it hit the water and- and maybe it was just too much force, so a little of water got in, but it was underwater, probably a total of 10 minutes. So there's that as well so in a six-foot deep end and that's about it.
