Life proof for 6s/6s+

Mine would not close all the way to the point where when I tried to snap it closed the plug that screws into the mic port snapped off.

Do you notice any rainbow effects on the screen with the fre?

I've not had this problem with either phone. I do have a friend that bought one when they first came out that did.

I just use windex type cleaner on mine. Inside and out!

I know it's overkill but do you guys think the Fre is compatible with plastic screen protectors?...i.e. fit issues or touch sensitivity?

Lifeproof recommends removing any screen protectors with the Frë. I'm assuming for fitment issues.
 
my 6s plus fits okay on my lifeproof but as another poster said it seems like it's on too tight. With my two year old always taking my phone, I don't want to run the risk of running without the protection the lifeproof gives. Wonder if anyone has put their 6s plus under water with the case on.
 
A quick YouTube search didn't pull anything up regarding tests with the iPhone 6/6+ case on the S unfortunately. I'd be willing to bet it's waterproof though. I have a 6S in a Frë 6 case. It's beat up and split from a rather drastic drop so I'll be getting a new one when they come out but this will do for now. Much safer than any other case I've found for my needs.
 
More info on lifeproofs claim that the IPhone 6 case won't fit the 6s is hogwash.

I understand that the "slightly" larger case will allow the iPhone 6 to fit but the tolerances are so minuscule that if the 6s can't fit the lifeproof 6 case then the tolerances should be to great for a 6 to fit a 6s case. I figured it was all a marketing ploy to get us to by another $70+ dollar case. Not surprising.

Ya it's annoying. Same thing when the iPhone 6 came out. Took forever. The 6s case is the same design albeit like .3 mm larger. It's not a complete redesign so I don't get the hold up. Otterbox is playing games here.

A 6 case can be had new via LP on Amazon for about $45-$50 compared to the new 6s case at $70+. What a joke.
 
I don't understand why it is taking them so long to make this case? I think it is most likely because they are focusing their man power on Otterbox instead of Lifeproof

The new 6s Lifeproof case is slightly bigger. The charge port fits all of my non oem lightening charging cables. My Bose sport earbuds fit fine but larger ones won't work.
I noticed there's no newton rings on my screen.
It appears all the annoying kinks from the 6 version have been worked out.
I am happy I got the new case!!!!

Everything looks the same except the branding on the back does have the little icons. It just says LIFEPROOF.

There was a revision to the original iPhone 6/6+ cases that fixed the issues described above. This isn't new to the 6S cases. Lifeproof got a deluge of complaints that the first run of 6 cases would only work with the Apple lightning cables rendering many peoples aftermarket charge cables useless without removing the case to use. Lifeproof made the port size larger. I'm glad they listened.
 
Does anyone know what the damn hold-up is with the 6S Nuud case?

I've called LP and no one there has a damn clue about when it might be releasing.

It's bleeping December already and they have the Fre for the 6S but still <crickets> on the Nuud.

Idiots.

Exactly. What the hell?
 
Ridiculous. Unfortunately I don't see an alternative way to avoid a crappy screen cover.
 
My black and gray FRE 6s Plus case arrived yesterday. It's beautiful and very light, way more so than the otter box defender I used to use on my Galaxy S4. Will fit in most front pockets, albeit noticeably.

I still don't have my actual 6s PLUS, and won't for another few weeks.

-Edit- Audio jack was wicked difficult to open the first time. Now opens like a charm!

Has anyone found a Nuud for the 6s. A guy at the local ATT store told me they had some but are sold out- the local Best Buy doesn't have any
