Many people ask us on what the difference between Lifeproof Nuud and Fre. Both cases have almost the same function and protection, but different in style, taste and vary from person to person. In this post we will describe the basic design, pro, cons, and usability on both cases.

Fre

Nuud

Protection:
  • Waterproof: Fully submersible to 2m
  • Dirt proof: Totally sealed from dirt and dust
  • Snow proof: Completely closed to snow and ice
  • Shockproof: Survives drops from 2m

Overal:
  • Good mix of rubber and polycarbonate makes the case easy to use
  • You still can use your finger touch ID (for iPhone 5s and above)
  • Snap and lock design, for easy installation
  • Complete sealed from camera, speaker camera and flash
  • Complete access to all buttons, ports and controls
  • Anti-reflective optical-glass camera lens
  • Dynamic speaker ports deliver maximum sound output and clarity

Design:
FRE: The back panel have small box for apple logo


Flat front panel like using no case



FRE: Build in screen protector		 NUUD: Transparent back see through back shows off the brilliant Apple design


Have small bump on the home button and all screen edges



NUUD: Still protected without screen protector (using the gasket pressure around front screen to prevent water, dust, and snow to get in).

Pros:
FRE:
  • 1 Case does it all

Cons:
