Blows the Lifeproof FRE Out of the Water
The only other "waterproof" case that I see on the market (as of the July 2021, since the iPhone 12 Pro was released) is the Lifeproof FRE. And over the past few years, I've noticed Lifeproof's quality has declined, but the price has remained the same. $90 is too much for something that doesn't last AND looks fugly. Of all of the things that fail on the Lifeproof, it's the screen protector and the camera cover (s). You can look among the recent reviews for their cases and see what I'm referring to. All the way from screen wake issues to yellowed camera lenses. It's just a waste.This case by IBELIEF has pros and cons, just like anything else. I find it to be one of the best cases I have ever owned. Could that be novelty speaking? Possibly.Pros:1. The entire phone is sealed in this case. And it IS indeed waterproof.2. The silent button is controlled by a dial and not exposed to the elements as are many cases on Amazon that are listed as "IP68". These other poorly advertised cases most definitely are not IP68 (such as Oterkin). The iPhone 12 Pro itself [without a case] is rated IP68. MANY case manufacturers, especially on Amazon, have cleverly marketed "the obvious", selling to the uneducated consumer. They also cleverly obstruct the view of the "silent switch hole" in their cases' pictures to conceal their lack of protection. To add insult to injury, they also offer zero camera protection. Go look, you'll see what I am referring to. "Glass shattering moment"3. The beauty of design engineering that is the iPhone 12 Pro is not obstructed by IBELIEF's case. The back is clear and the cameras' covers have a great blend in with the design. It's a pleasure to the eye and it looks professional. Big kudos to the engineer that designed it.4. Phone call quality is not affected negatively. People on the other end of my calls cannot tell a difference between the case on and the case off. The speaker holes also do not hold pocket lint, which keeps the speakers and microphone unobstructed. This is a BIG plus, because this has been an issue with Lifeproof cases since the iPhone 8. And it's still a problem.5. The case does not interfere with the overall size of the phone. Sure, it adds a little bit of size, but it is slim and by no means bulky. Very manageable (however, consider that I have large hands, with the distance of my middle finger to wrist being 9"). Women with smaller hands may not like this case's size, but then again, they may not like the size of the iPhone 12; it is rather large (hence the induction of the 12 mini). I also want to point out that the iPhone 12 Pro is a TIGHT fit in the molded frame of this case. It is very rigid and it is very sturdy. But you literally have to wedge it in there.6. The cameras are actually protected and their covers do not wear out. This is a big issue on Lifeproof cases and an even bigger issue with those aforementioned "IP68" cases that offer no protection whatsoever to the cameras. The IBELIEF case has a huge advantage over the competition just in this PRO.7. The price. It was less than $20 in November 2020 when I bought it. Today in July 2021, it's still less than $20.8. Wireless charging works. I don't have any mag safe chargers because my "ecosystem" of chargers work just fine. That said, I can't speak to how well magsafe works with this case (or at all, for that matter).9. Front camera and scan sensors work unimpeded by the screen protector and the rear cameras' pictures are not at all affected by the covers on them. Furthermore, the camera covers do not pit or scratch or yellow (as the Lifeproof camera covers most certainly do). I will delightfully add that LIDAR and night pictures also work perfect with this case.10. Screen wake works as intended, even with a sweaty face or ear. If you remove the phone from your ear to hit "End" or "Speaker" or "Mute", there's no loss of function: it works as intended. Lifeproof cases are notorious for preventing screen wake during calls. even when new. My iPhone 8 has that problem super bad - to the point that any button on the call screen will accidentally press. But without a case on, it works fine. It's clearly an engineering problem with Lifeproof's design, but IBELIEF got it right the first time.Cons1. The screen protector smudges easily. This is pretty common among screen protectors, so not a big deal. I always have a microfiber on my person anyway, so this is hardly a con.2. The dial to silence is a little difficult to operate with one finger. To flip the silent switch, I usually have to hold the phone and turn it with my index finger and thumb, like turning a tiny knob. I much prefer the flip switch extension on Lifeproof cases, though they tend to break over time. The dial is hard plastic and will certainly not break, so I guess there's a tradeoff in longevity vs. function here.3. Durability is...interesting. It's no doubt a very protective case, however, the back of the case is very smooth. I wish it were at least lightly textured or a little bit thicker. I have never dropped my iPhone 12 Pro and don't plan to. But, as with the Lifeproof case on my owned-since-launch-still-daily-used iPhone 8, it's taken a handful of spills and it still looks like the day I got it. That whole phone is cased in plastic. Hard plastic. The IBELIEF case only has hard plastic around the borders and the camera. The back is only slightly more sturdy than the screen protector, which is flimsy at worst, flexible at best. I would pay a few extra bucks to have that extra little bit of "umph" in the case back.4. The charge port cover is 100 times better than any Lifeproof cover because it's rubber and it's dense...but it's a major pain to get open if you have short finger nails.5. The listing for this case is several pages in the search "iphone 12 pro waterproof case". It should be on the first page because it is in fact, waterproof. There's some shady search engine optimization going on with Amazon. IBELIEF is getting the short end of the stick because I don't think many people know about this case. This is a fantastic case and it's an even better value for the longevity.Would I recommend this case? Yes, even with it's current flaws. I honestly wish IBELIEF made cases for the other iPhone models. I have friends and family with XR's and 11's that really don't like their cases and are tired of drinking the Lifeproof kool-aid.

Great protective case!
My other half and I ordered these cases for our iPhone 12 pros. Our phones live in cases for easy resell and keeping the phone from degrading quicker than without one. Overall a great case to protect your phone from any water splashes, scratches, dirt, dust, mud, snow, sand, etc. My phone has survived falling off the edge of the table or dropping from my hands in standing position. The case does get scratched or dented (it isn’t indestructible, it will get ugly over time) if dropped but your phone should be safe! Mine has survived every fall so far! It’s also very easy to clean or sanitize! Volume still comes thru sounding clear and crisp, I haven’t had trouble hearing during conversations, FaceTime, watching videos or anything related to volume issues. I haven’t had a problem so far! I love that you can see the color of my phone as well as see through the camera protector perfectly clear. Easy to put together and take apart, took me a whole 2 minutes or so. If the rubber edge buffers/plastic and black lining around screen protector were clear to expose the gold trim of my phone that would be even more awesome! The same exact case with the clear rubber instead to show off all the color around phone. I’d invest in another one just cause of that! I will purchase again when my current one wears out. Great case, I recommend!

Good touch screen and protection. Phone calls are meh
This is almost exactly a life proof case.Basically a copy.I have a plastic screen protector on the back of my phone and a temper glass on the front.(Yeah, I’m picky about my phone.)This means it’s pretty difficult for me to find a waterproof case that will fit and have touchscreen work well.The case fits like a glove with protectors on.I’m unsure how well it would fit without.Touchscreen works much better than other cases I’ve tried.Camera cover on the back works much better as well as it is raised along the lenses. This prevents scratching on the plastic covering the lenses, allowing for much better photos with the case on.Buttons all work great, including turning the ringer on and off.Sound is a bit muffled.Biggest issue with the case is that I have to have phone call volume up the entire way to hear while on phone. Very muffled. Mic works fine.This isn’t too big of a deal as I can hear just well enough and for long calls, I always use my headphones.However, I can see for many this could be a major issue.

Very waterproof!! Rower tested 🤞🏻
My favorite phone case. Coxswain on a rowing team, I dropped it over the side of the boat while docking and it sank 4 feet to the bottom of the river.. One of my rowers dipped a foot in and pulled it out with his toes, lol. Survived!!Beyond the rowing incident, this phone case has lasted me 2+ years, it got some scratches but that’s likely because I’m very rough on it. It’s been dropped in the sink/shower plenty of times with no damage to my phone. Only minor inconvenience is you should flip open the bottom charger port “plug” when on a call/FaceTime. Audio is muffled when it’s closed.Overall can’t recommend enough!

Screen protector failed after only two months of use
I was initially pleased with this case. It was less expensive than some other cases, but seemed to have fairly high ratings and durability, so I chose it over other options. It is attractive, with a clear panel in the rear, slim design, useful buttons and a seemingly good, shockproof reinforcement.However, after only two months of fairly light use (no harsh chemicals, no dropping, little exposure to light, etc), the front touch panel has separated from the case and the return window has passed, and there is no information on returning it to the company, so that’s just money and time down the drain as I now need to replace it. I will be going with the more expensive/proven case makers (otterbox, lifeproof) as my experience with them has proven their durability in the “years”, rather than “months” range.
