Sorry if this has already been asked. Not sure if I am going to upgrade or not but would like the option. I am considering buying a Lifeproof case.
 
Now that the IP7 is waterproof, why would anyone want to cover up that beautiful display with the LP Nude case and it's cheap, plastic screen protector.

Not to mention that those cases are made for 40 cents (or less) per case in China and sold for $70 in the US.

(Bleep) you Lifeproof. You greedy bastards.

as a senior buyer for a international trading company , i have to say the Life proof will cost more than 3 dollars to make
 
I would think the Fre offers better water resistance as well as screen protection. You don't get to feel the glass screen though.

The Nud does have a gasket underneath the area that surrounds the screen. I've never actually dunked it in the water.

I have had the Nüüd LifeProof for years now and it is definitely water resistant! I've dropped it in water many times and it stays dry. Water getting in the screen doesn't bother it, it's only when the water gets inside the phone and the case has a really good seal.
The only thing is that the case gets cracks in it over time which makes it less water proof. I've had my phone for 2 1/2 years and I've had 2 cases.
I've never owned a Fre case so I don't know if it's any better or worse. I hope this helps!
