My 6s has no newton rings. I just installed the Fre straight out of the box. It wouldn't have mattered either way. I am used to the rings from previous phones. I have used a Fre on all of my iPhones. The talcum powder trick does improve the rings.
LOL! No. I just eyeball them for problems and put them on. I don't dunk my phones.
I got a Frē case for $30 (Amazon price match with Target) for my iPhone 6s and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I did the water test (kinda) by rinsing the case with water and submerging it for around 2-3 minutes, but I never submerged it for the indicated 30. No leaks whatsoever but I'm still anxious.
Should I test it more?
I've already rinsed my 6s inside my Frē in water and I haven't encountered issues. Yet. I'm terrified because Lifeproof warrants the case but not the phone.
It's basically a giant gamble with your phone and the case. Terrifying.

Well, yeah. It's like getting an iPhone and not using the camera. It's a big feature.
There is a lot of risk involved, however.
To me it's more like paying for car insurance and not using it. If I was actually going to dunk my phone, I would test the Fre as LP suggests by assembling the Fre without the phone and weighing it down at the bottom of the bathtub for an hour.

Tested my case as suggested now. Completely waterproof. I'm decently confident in dropping my phone in a pool.
I am thinking of trying the Nuud with amazon price match. Just really unsure I want to take my screen protector off. For those that have the nun for the 6s plus, any feedback?
Yeah, I price matched it with Amazon too. Just make sure it says sold and shipped by Amazon.
Just reviewed it: very pleased. Nice case! Audio is slightly affected, but not much at all, and it seems to have very good construction.

A little bigger than I would want. Also the lack of screen protector might cause me hesitation
so far, i haven't seen any scratches on the back. but a few days earlier, i did put a sticker on the back.
nothing special.....it was a sticker that came with a patch that i bought the other day.
