Anyone have opinions on the life proof case

Hello I posted in the cases thread no response. I am looking into getting a LifeProof case was wondering if anyone had any feed back. Audio quality, screen functionality. Thanks

So I had this back on the iPhone 5 it was alright . I mainly had it for camping then when I wasn't I had it in an otter box.

My coworker has it for her S7 and I've had to use it. The screen is built up with junk despite me attempting to clean it for her. Speaker is a bit muddled but was 1000% better then before It felt like a brick in the hand however. But I've seen it get coverd in coffee and her just wipe it clean and no worry so I give it credit for that.
It's kind of a ultimate defence. If you have little kids or go into environments where water will be persistent and a cause for worry then yes it's good. If you just want some phone damage protection I recommend a basic OtterBox commuter

Yes I spend a lot of time on boat fishing and trail running. Also work in building trades so yea looking for something with good coverage. I am using a symmetry series case but need more. I also in the past had one on my iPhone and I had a lot of people complain that they were unable to hear me. I was wondering if that is the same case with the s7 and also having "dead zone" on the screen when case was installed.

Well even with the amount of gunk on my co-workers case she said she had no troubles. So o asked to call her and we switched phones. Minor mufflinf , but not bad at all. I could hear her fine and we where in a cement building with crap coverage haha

I've used Otter's on other phones, but for my S7, I went with: Galaxy S7 Armorbox | Galaxy S7 Screen Protector | i-Blason

With the S7 already being waterproof, I find that getting a waterproof case may not be that necessary. This one is slimmer all around.

This is my first LifeProof (work on / around boats and live on one so thought it might be good). Much slimmer than my old Trident for Moto X. Wireless charging has no issue charging through the case. No issues with touchscreen. Speaker does seem a bit muffled / muted, but then never actually tried it before having the phone put in the case when I bought it.
