text: I read a lot of ratings and reviews before purchasing this item, but now I’ve returned it because it didn’t meet my expectations. The flaws that are notable are the audio is muffled as is the microphone and people with whom I’m speaking complain they can’t hear me. Also, the bottom area of the screen blocks the functionality of the bottom level of buttons and renders the swipe up useless. I’ve decided that I am trying to get too much function from one case so have decided to buy a case that is for every day use and a second case for waterproof functionality. There are those waterproof cases that are sort of like bags with the seal that are rated very, very high for waterproof.
