Otterbox and Lifeproof Cases for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. If you look into both of the leading brands of a protecting cases and enclosures for flagship smartphones, it is simple to be confused by all the models. Here’s a guide to assist you to select the correct case for your needs. When looking at cases you need to consider edge elevation. This is to stop the phone from falling flat on the screen and taking screen damage from impact. Secondly you’ll need to consider edge rigidity and shock absorption to buffer against hits, bumps and impacts on the edges of the phone as well as on its and corners. Before the introduction of edge screen styles handsets, initially in devices such as like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, than closely followed by 2017’s iPhone X and 2018’s iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, we still believe that all phones should be placed in a case. PROTECTIVE CASESThere are several case makers that device protection. One is Lifeproof, and it’s a superb company with a good range if cases. The company, Otterbox also provides good options when you are looking at shielding your new $1,100 device. Otterbox products are another different major player during this market, and a company of who we are colossal fans of thier offerings. After I am asked by friends and family which case to purchase we ask them to consider an Otterbox case. Mostly we tend to recommend the one ultra-protective style, that is that the Defender series case. And, for years, we have used Defenders notwithstanding that devices we have had. We use Defender on the iPada, as a result of the reputation they havbe built and based on our experiences with these cases. You could get a Defender Screenless Series for your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 professional, or iPhone Pro Max. Your device will be very safe in this rugged, time tested style, therefore it’s very much a no brainer. OtterBox Defender SeriesBut over the past few years, Otterbox has expanded their line of case styles, not simply in its own branded offerings but also with its acquisition of LifeProof, a company that was once a fierce rival. LifeProof cases are broadly spealing a bit dearer, and once distinguished themselves from OtterBox cases with colourful cases targeting customers, with the added benefit and focus waterproofing. So, its cases were continually a bit dearer than the OtterBox styles. The Fre, particularly, is that the LifeProof flagship. Let’s go, through the Lifeproof lineup first since it’s a comparatively good range to look at. In 2018, For iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS MAX, LifeProof introduced a couple of new case designs: the Slam and Next. Next and Slam are very to be similar two-piece clamshell styled cases. From the units we received at the time, we observed that the Next had a significantly larger amount of bumper material. LifeProof Next And Slam Case RangeBoth of these units are tight-fitting styles and supply ample edge elevation and side/corner impact protection. Neither is water-proof or offers extra screen protection for scratches or frontal impacts. LifeProof NextWe used each case for a couple of days, and would say that the Next felt thicker, however, it is not enough of a distinction to sacrifice shock absorption with the Slam even though each Next and Slam will accommodate Amplify glass screen protectors or screen guards just like the OtterBox cases do, but we’ll get to momentarily. Personally, if we were inclined to buy one of these two cases, we would get a Next case. For 2019, LifeProof has added a new style called Flip, that although it may be a rather exciting and unusual design, it still incorporates significant shock protection alongside its flip or foldable pocket. LifeProof FlipUnlike the regular shock-proof cases from LifeProof, this is a one piece designed case instead of a clamshell-style, the phone slides into it, snugly. Part of the case includes a flip-open section that has a storage area for a number of credit cards. As you hold the case you’ll be able to see that there’s a large sized indentation at back of the case to accommodate the flip-out section. This makes the case significantly thicker than the Defender, though it adds a touch of rigidity and shock protection. WATERPROOF CASESThe newer iPhones 11 are already IP68 water-resistant and able to survive half-hour of immersion at depths of two meters. So if a major consideration is your phone being rained on, Next is what we’d recommend as you have impact resistance and the device’s inbuilt waterproofing to rely on. However for the ultimate in protection and added waterproofing consider Fre. Fre is LifeProof’s tried and true waterproof case style, that also has a scratch prtotector for your screen. This Fre style of case is the one that historically provided complete differentiation from OtterBox and therefore the Defender. LifeProof FreNow, with newer smartphones already being somewhat water-resistant, to start with, it’d appear that Fre is overkill. Perhaps, but think on this. If we weren’t talking a couple of thousand dollars to buy the device and prices of $275 to $400 to repair or replace the screen a Fre case is chaep insurance and protection. On iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro/iPhone 11 Pro Max, Fre includes a watertight lightning charge connective latch as well as the permanent screen/scratch guard. This is nice to have should you spend a lot of time around water or at the beach. SCRATCH-RESISTANT CASESAll the new OtterBox cases (and the LifeProof Slam and Flip) for iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro/iPhone 11 Pro Max will accommodate the Amplify glass screen guard. This screen protector provides extra scratch and also impact protection and for the price its certainly worth it to add this add protection. Can you utilise a third-party scratch resistant film to place on a Defender or a Flip? Well yes you can but then again you could get a Fre. It’s cheaper than buying the Alpha and separate case. We don’t see any purpose in having either a Defender or Otterbox Symmetry or Commuter case as well as Next, Slam and not making a an Amplify glass screen protector part of the protection. So when considering a Lifeproof or Otterbox case in our opinions, it comes down to three main scenarios: 1. You would like a holster and full rubberization and prefer the tried and true Otterbox style (Defender/Pro + Amplify glass) and you would like it to be protecting your screen (Slam + Amplify glass, or Next + Amplify glass). 2. You would like it to be a lot more waterproof than what the device provides out of the box, and you would like scratch protection for the screen (Lifeproof Fre). 3. You would like it to be extremely protective however you want a folding type wallet case (Flip + Amplify glass)With any of those case options, your phone will be in safe hands.
