After removing the phone from the LifeProof Fre case, it would appear that there is no way to access Silent Mode Button when it is in the case. The only way is to set up your phone to bypass this button is to enable the BACK TAP option. Go to..

SETTINGS

ACCESSIBILITY

TOUCH

BACK TAP (turn this to ON)

then choose either DOUBLE TAP or TRIPLE TAP then Select MUTE.

This will now allow you to put your phone into Silent Mode by either Double or Triple Tapping the back of your phone. A small prompt will appear onscreen briefly to show you the status of the Silent Mode of your phone.
