Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Waterproof Case, Effun IP68 Certified Waterproof Underwater Cover Dustproof Snowproof Shockproof Case for Galaxy S9 Plus with Phone Stand, PH Test Paper and Floating Strap White

I usually purchase a Lifeproof FRE' for all of my phones for that waterproof security, sense of safety. I never have a complaint with the FRE' cases, but I wanted to see if there was an alternative to the $90.00 purchase price of the FRE'. So as usual I find myself on Amazon looking for the alternative, less expensive case. That search brought me to this Effun Waterproof case. I have no experience with this brand but the reviews were positive so I took the chance.I received it and tested the case for it's waterproof efficiency by placing a paper towel in the case and submerging it in about 2 feet of water. I left the case in the water for 3 hours and the paper towel was dry. I was really happy with that result because for $16.99 I was a bit nervous it wouldn't pass. So I dried the case and and and installed it on my phone.I cleaned my S9+ and installed it on my phone. Install is very straight forward and it looks nice (I purchased the white case). Phone calls are not hard to hear and no one has complained that they can't hear me (I asked after a few minutes of conversation). I don't listen to music with the phone alone (usually with bluetooth headsets or bluetooth speakers) but I found the sound to be very acceptable for a waterproof case (remember this case is meant to PROTECT the entire phone and you will sacrifice some features such as sound - although for me personally I found it fine - very similar if not better than the FRE').It takes pictures and videos with clarity, although as expected video sound was not as clear (again waterproof case so expected). The fingerprint scanner works perfectly fine as well and I have yet to encounter an issue. The other three biometrics work fine as well - facial recognition, iris scanning and the combination of iris and face combination are all in good working order.Now for the BUT in my headline...I don't no about anyone else, but my phone does not sit/fit tightly in this case. There is a gap between the phone and the screen protector of this case. If anyone has ever had an OtterBox Defender case with the screen protector, you know what I mean. So if it wasn't for Samsung's new feature to increase the screen sensitivity, this case would not work.It is a FINGERPRINT magnet on both the front and rear of this case. I have different cases for my S9+ (case junky if you will lol) including the YOUMAKER Crystal Clear case with the built in screen protector and the SUPCASE Full-Body Rugged case Beetle PRO Series and they are much better in the fingerprint department than this case. I find myself constantly cleaning the case because in any bright light, all you can see is your fingerprints and smudge marks from using the phone.So the screen protector NOT fitting tight or flush to the phone is a big problem for me personally. That is one reason I stopped purchasing the OtterBox Defender (which they now have removed the screen protector from that case for the same complaint). The Lifeproof FRE' case does not have this issue (I have owned several for different phones). This case also adds bulk to the phone when compared to the FRE'. Not a deal breaker but one I felt mentioning may help in your decision. The fingerprint residue is not a complete deal breaker, but another one to consider if your as OCD as I am.In conclusion it is a $16.99 case and with free PRIME shipping, it will fit the bill for now.

I have had this case since before summer which is the reason I bought it. I am around water all summer and really needed something that could withstand it. It lasted all summer but I am starting to notice some wear and tear. It will no longer be waterproof because there is a hole in the back of the case on the fingerprint scanner. Pretty good value for the money spent.

I've had this item for a good 4 months and must say it far exceeded may expectations

In my mind, this is the best Samsung Galaxy S9 plus waterproof case in the market. Durable and affordable at a great price, you can't beat that !! I don't really know what kind of material is in the front screen but it is so easy to type. I highly recommend this Samsung Galaxy S9 plus waterproof case.

Both front and back glass cracked within first week with this case. Offers no protection. I took a very expensive gamble buying an off-brand case and it's going to end up costing me thousands of dollars!

The instructions that came with the case, do not match. There were instructions about removing a screw... there was no screw. I'm hoping it works. Not sure I'd buy again.

This case is not wireless compatible

Do NOT purchase a case from this company. They DO NOT stand by their warranty and are very rude when you ask them too. Both of our cases broke and are not worth the money!!
