Get Nuud with your iPhone! Lifeproof Nuud Review - iPhone 6/6 Plus

The LifeProof Nuud is one of the best waterproof iPhone cases out there. Trust us, this is one case we'll be putting our iPhone in! Check out the full review: http://mreh.ca/1BxSQm3 Trying to figure out which case to get? http://mreh.ca/1D5UTSW Today we’re going to do the review for the LifeProof Nuud for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. This is a tough, waterproof case for your iPhones and it does it all without an actual screen protector. In terms of design, this is a light case. In fact, the LifeProof Nuud is as thin as most regular slim cases but is just a little wider than a slim case. However, if we compare them against other waterproof iPhone cases, the only one that is smaller is the LifeProof Fre. Installation of the case is quick simple, as with the uninstall as there are no parts to really lose. They’ve made an improvement over previous Nuuds and even the newer Fre with the gasket on the Lightning port cover as its tucked into the flap tightly. There is an issue that I haven’t experienced with the port but others with the Nuud have. I’ll elaborate in the functionality section of the review. The LifeProof Nuud feels solid. It fits generally well but one of the things to note is that using third party screen protectors with this case will most likely allow water into your case. The case holds up well from the occasional drop on concrete and despite having a clear back, the raised rubber portions keep it generally scratch free. In terms of protection, this tough iPhone case provides average water and drop protection at 6.6 ft or 2m for both. That’s still nothing to sneeze at but the average waterproof iPhone case is going to provide that level of protection for you. For water and drop, the iPhone is going to be safe in the Nuud as our torture tests didn’t really indicate any fatal flaws in the case. We did do the torture tests with a screen protector installed on the 6 Plus and that’s a different story. On the iPhone 6 Plus, I had a Holy Grail screen protector installed and right off the bat, I noticed the bulge of the iPhone at the top when compared the iPhone 6 which had no screen protector and because of this gap, the case let in water. LifeProof does say to remove all screen protectors prior to installing this case so you’ve all been sufficiently warned. I’ve got a better explanation on my Torture test video if you need it. With that being said, there are screen protectors that are cut specifically to fit the Nuud but then you run into the problem of having a bit of distortion at the edges of the touchscreen which occurs even with the optionally installable screen protector. In terms of screen protection, we rated this case with the optional installable screen protector which is fairly thick. The edges of the case are sufficient enough to keep the iPhone’s screen off a flat surface. Getting to your iPhone is pretty awesome in this case. The buttons have a nice feel to them and aren’t too tough to get to. The case itself is a little slicker than other cases due to the plastic back but I found my fingers just adjusting to sitting on the rubbery parts of the case. In terms of hardware access, you’re really restricted to Apple’s accessories as the cutouts for the headphones and lightning port are quite small. There is a headphone jack extension but I think the case looks ridiculous with it for everyday usage. The Camera and Flash have their own separate cutouts so you’re not going to get funny looking flash photographs. The touch ID membrane generally works and it’s large enough for you to add fingerprints with the case installed. In terms of screen functionality, since it has no screen protector, it’s great! Even with the optionally installable screen protector, it’s great! The edges of the case are at an angle where getting to your iPhone’s touchscreen doesn’t get diminished. You can’t get totally to the edge but it’s as good as any other slim case. In terms of screen viewability, it’s great! When there’s no screen protector. If you use the optionally installable screen protector, you may get a bit of diffusion along the edge of the screen protector since it doesn’t fit the cutout 100% but that’s me being really picky. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
