Volume buttons stop being responsive
on December 20, 2021
Posted by: Matt
Great case initially but the rubber sides quickly wore off and the rubber buttons over the volume up/down soon became unresponsive. I then had to take the phone out of the case to adjust the volume. A one year warranty for an expensive case which is "LifeProof" is ridiculous. This case was anything but "LifeProof". Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're very sorry to hear of the structural struggles you've had with your current LifeProof NËXT case at its sides and control button covers.
We're actually quite happy to extend our warranty beyond the one-year mark; however, that is subject to whether or not we still make and/or have stock available. Unfortunately, we no longer have products that support the Google Pixel 3.
Although we aren't able to help in this instance, please do feel welcome to reach us at 1-888-533-0735 if we can ever be of assistance down the road.
This is my 3rd Lifeproof case for my Google 3XL. As a mom of 4, my phone is my lifeline to an organized life but also takes a lot of abuse. This case holds up and my phone underneath still looks as new as the day I bought it. The case itself lasts about a year before the rubber seal around the camera and fingerprint scanner become loose/gets dirty/falls off, but it is worth replacing everytime.
This is my 2nd lifeproof case and always stands up to the test of time and daily use and abuse. Protected my Pixel 2XL and now I have a 3XL it needs the same love and protection. Lifeproof was my only go to case for my investment.
Absolutely love my new case. Easy to install. Very durable and has saved it from a few drops already. The only 2 cons or flaws i have found and are not a deal breaker for me. Due to durabilty and hardness you lose the ability to "squeeze" the Pixel to launch assistant and the cover over the usb-c port could be a bit larger as it is a tight fit. The usb-c cover also tends to get in the way often when it is open and a charge cable or usb earbuds/headphones are attached to the Pixel.
Pros: motorcycling, Skiing, Running, mountain biking, Road Cycling, Rock Climbing
Not quite what I had expected it to be. The back part of the case had scratches on it when I took it out the box. (On the inside part of the back cover). It's not screen protector friendly either. Will have to see how it goes to determine if this case is actually worth it or not.
Pros: Exploring
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Sfat,
We're so sorry you're not exactly loving this NËXT case!
It may not seem like much, but we put forth every effort to ensure this case will provide some of the best protection available to safeguard your investment, and we're confident it will prove itself time and time again.
As for the scratches, protection is our priority, but we completely understand how aesthetic attacks can be discouraging. The good news is we'd love to send you a brand-new case along with some great maintenance tips that'll keep things looking sharp for a long time to come! Simply give us a call at 1-888-533-0735 and we'll get you back on track to stylish security!
I have had the Pixel 3XL case for 8 days. In that time I have dropped the phone twice and of course sustained no damage. I previously had the LifeProof case for the original Pixel and that was an outstanding case. My only disappointment with the new case is the lack of waterproofing and cumbersome charging port cover. Not being waterproof is a substantial limitation in a place like Wisconsin where we are regularly near or on water, or dealing with significant rain. This limitation did not exist with the prior case. The new charging port cover is awkward and appears destined to eventually fail as I am forced to twist a piece of plastic bending an unhinged element out of the way. With the prior cover, and it's nearly indestructible hinge, you were able to access the charging port in a much simpler and quicker way. Additionally, the prior port cover allowed for the waterproofing color which this case does not.
Finally, both cases lacked any friction pads which would have prevented them from sliding off smooth surfaces. Although the LifeProof case has securely guarded both my current and prior phones against drops, some of the drops are due to the smooth case sliding off smooth surfaces.
Always loved the Lifeproof case and have had them on several different phones. However, what's missing from this Lifeproof case for my Google Pixel 3XL is the screen protector that has come with other Lifeproof cases for other phones I've had. This case doesn't have one and I didn't see an option to have a Lifeproof case with the screen protector. Maybe that's something Lifeproof can add in the future.
Pros: Boating
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Silky,
We apologize that this NËXT series doesn't seem to be meeting expectations so far! We intentionally engineered this case with an open-faced style in order to maintain full functionality with the device display, but we certainly understand that the different design can take some getting used to. Rest assured, we're confident that the case should provide premium protection for your Google Pixel 3 XL going forward, but if you have any further questions, please feel welcome to call our reliable representatives at 1-888-533-0735. They're always ready to help out!
