If you have a modern smartphone, you've spent a lot of money to get a portable computer that fits in your pocket. The most expensive choice is the Apple iPhone X, so it's imperative that you have it in a case that's going to keep it safe. That's exactly what the Lifeproof FRE iPhone X case does, or so it claims. The Lifeproof case is waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and snowproof. Snow proof? Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ tests out the snow resistance of the Lifeproof FRE with an Apple iPhone X and finds that it does indeed protect the phone from bad things happening.

will this case really make your iPhone
0:01
dirt proof waterproof and snow proof
0:04
let's find out Dave Taylor here and this
0:14
time I'm looking at an iPhone 10 case
0:16
and neither one but this one is from
0:19
lifeproof it's this the free let's take
0:22
it out it's a waterproof case and it
0:25
offers scratch resistance but and
0:27
scratch protection actually but much
0:29
more interesting is its ip68 so this
0:32
case and it's not very thick this is
0:35
gonna give me water snow and dust proof
0:38
and drop proof for my iPhone 10 let's
0:42
check it out so what I'm gonna do is I
0:45
have already done what they tell you to
0:47
do first which is what sticker says
0:49
which is put the case by itself in water
0:52
and then check the inside to make sure
0:54
it doesn't leak I did we're good now
0:57
it's a two-part case they tell you to
0:59
use a coin but I have a knife right I'm
1:01
not gonna use the blade part of the
1:03
knife but it's just pretty easy you just
1:04
basically twist it once you get it in
1:06
there and then that starts having the
1:08
case come apart and then you sort of
1:12
take it apart and there we go
1:16
two pieces now I'm gonna put my iPhone
1:20
10 it is a fully functional iPhone 10
1:23
hopefully it will stay that way I'm
1:25
gonna put it inside the case and then
1:27
we're gonna go ahead I'll move this out
1:29
of the way so then I'm gonna put this
1:31
case back on and here's where it gets
1:34
important that you really spend the time
1:36
to push all the way around you got to
1:39
get all these clicks to happen as you
1:41
can hear I'm doing once everything's all
1:44
sealed up let's see so let's see this
1:49
side doesn't look like it's lining up
1:50
quite right let's see what's happening
1:53
here hmm
1:55
well I got a little technical difficulty
1:58
here let's maybe do the top first and
2:05
there's that side and this side
2:10
and this is my iPhone 10 I'm gonna make
2:13
sure this thing goes on correctly let's
2:16
see so all that now all we have is the
2:18
bottom and I'm having to use a fair
2:21
amount of force here but that's what I
2:23
want I want this thing to be perfectly
2:25
sealed and so now I'm gonna go all the
2:27
way around the edges and make sure that
2:30
I have it properly sealed especially
2:33
around where the buttons are hmm I think
2:36
we're good to test we have the little
2:39
bottom piece so you can charge it and
2:41
that is closed too now
2:44
how do you test to see if it's snow
2:45
proof you bring in some snow so this is
2:48
actual real honest-to-god snow we're
2:51
gonna put the phone in it then I'm gonna
2:54
bury it in snow this is not something I
2:57
generally recommend that you do with an
2:59
iPhone or any smart phone actually but
3:02
with any luck I can leave it in there
3:04
for a couple of seconds while we talk
3:05
about the case and then we'll be able to
3:08
actually show that it is still working
3:11
now here's the thing the iPhone 10 is
3:13
already somewhat water-resistant so
3:15
arguably I should have thrown this in
3:17
the pool but I'm not gonna throw it in
3:20
the pool okay I don't even have a pool
3:21
it does work with Qi charging I've
3:24
already tried that and if I pull it out
3:26
and we look at it it is functional and
3:30
here's the thing is that you have a
3:33
cover on it but the cover really has
3:36
very almost no impact it's you basically
3:39
can't even really feel it's on there and
3:41
as I said it's remarkably thin this is a
3:45
really nice case and only adds a very
3:48
small amount of space or size to your
3:50
phone and it gives me a lot of balance
3:53
of damage protection they say that it's
3:56
shockproof up to six feet I'm not gonna
3:59
drop my phone six feet to find out but
4:01
we can drop it in the snow and it still
4:03
works
4:03
look at that it's still working how cool
4:06
is that
4:07
now this case the lifeproof fre comes in
4:13
blue violet green black and pink there's
4:17
all sorts of different color schemes
4:18
this is the light green and black and
4:21
you can see the light green is sort of
4:23
the act
4:23
and color on the edge and I like you
4:27
actually it's it's a very nice case and
4:29
it's something you could definitely keep
4:30
on a daily basis and it certainly if
4:32
you're doing any outdoor activity or if
4:35
you are it's the summer and you're
4:37
actually hanging out by the pool a lot
4:39
something like this is gonna be way way
4:41
better than having your phone fall in
4:44
water or fall in mud or something and
4:46
then realizing that oh that didn't
4:49
really work very well so all this left
4:52
to talk about is the price whoa before
4:55
we get there let me ask go ahead and
4:56

5:04
me risk my $1100 smartphone then give me
5:08
a thumbs up appreciate that so price all
5:12
these different color options and it is
5:14
you know a real life proof case this
5:17
company's been making cases for a super
5:19
long time they're really really good
5:21
highly recommend them this one is
5:24
however not inexpensive it will set you
5:26
back 80 dollars and 99 cents but
5:29
seriously how many cases do you know
5:31
where you can actually have your
5:32
snowball melt on top of it and it ain't
5:35
gonna mess up your phone so this is Dave
