Are you a person who hates screen protectors but is a little clumsy? Comprehensive details: http://www.mobilereviews-eh.ca/lifeproof-nuud-vs-dog-bone-wetsuit/ I don’t like screen protectors, they diffuse the screen, reduce the sensitivity of your iPhone’s touchscreen as well as increase the glare. Especially those plastic ones. Now only if there was a case that didn’t have a screen protector but still provided waterproof and shockproof protection. Well, you’re in luck because the LifeProof Nuud and Dog & Bone Wetsuit are two cases that fit that bill. The LifeProof is called the Nuud for a reason and the Dog & Bone likes to use the term topless when describing the Wetsuit. We’ve used both of these cases extensively and based on our rating system, the LifeProof Nuud got a score of 4.2 Eh’s out of 5 while the Dog & Bone scored 4.0 Eh’s out of 5. They’re both great cases and each have their own merits and perhaps the biggest question you need to ask….Do you want to go topless or do you want to go Nuud? We’ve spent a lot of time with both of these cases as we’ve dropped the Wetsuit, slapped the Nuud around, dusted the wetsuit, gone drinking with the Nuud and we do all of this before doing our reviews. The Nuud is the thinner and lighter case that offers better access to your iPhone. The Wetsuit is definitely the tougher case because of how its designed. I’m going to take the next few minutes to cover some of the biggest features and then talk about which case I’d personally go with. If you need more information check out the detailed review on our website. Design There isn’t a large difference in terms of design when looking at the LifeProof Nuud vs. Dog & Bone Wetsuit. The biggest difference between these two cases is how they’re installed. The Nuud comes in two pieces whereas the Wetsuit has three. The Dog & Bone case literally has a wetsuit that you have to put on the case. It’s not hard to put on your iPhone but this design features makes the Wetsuit a tougher case than the Nuud. Protection When it comes to protecting your iPhone, the Wetsuit comes out on top despite the fact that both cases are rated to 6.6ft for shock and water protection. The unique design of the Wetsuit results in your iPhone having 2 layers of protection. The Front and Back housings sandwich the boot portion of the case so even if the housings come off, your iPhone is still protected by the boot. With the Nuud, you only have two pieces so if the case comes apart, there is nothing stopping from having your iPhone from being damaged. The boot is essentially one massive waterproof seal where the Nuud has 2 thing o-rings that may fail if debris gets on the oring. Both case manufacturers include screen protectors with LifeProof offering one that fits the cutout area of the iPhone screen. On the Wetsuit, the screen protector covers the entire front of the iPhone. LifeProof and Dog & Bone officially don’t support 3rd party screen protectors but if we had to pick a case to use with a 3rd party screen protector, we’d choose the Wetsuit. Functionality The biggest difference between these two waterproof iPhone cases in terms of functionality is the screen usability. The edges on the Wetsuit are quite high so getting to your Q and P might be a little difficult. The bottom edges isn’t far enough away from the bottom of the touchscreen so the control center is going to be hit and miss as well. You don’t have these issues with the Nuud. There’s a few more things worth noting about functionality so check out the comparison table in our detailed review. In terms of price, the Wetsuit is $10 dollars cheaper than the Nuud so its not a big difference. So which one is better? Our scoring system says that the Nuud is and that is my preferred case BUT that’s only because I’m not an overly active person or too clumsy so I like the case that offers better iPhone handling over the tougher case. However, if I was going on vacation or work at a jobsite, I would go with the Dog & Bone Wetsuit because it is going to provide more iPhone protection than the LifeProof Nuud. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
