iPhone 8 Plus Cases blocking mic on speaker
Hi, all! I got my iPhone 8 Plus and really like it. I went to a T-Mobile store, and they sold me a Lifeproof Fre for the iPhone 7 Plus, telling me that the case would work. It fit the phone fine, but when I tried to make calls on speaker phone, the other person would tell me that they could barely hear me. When I took the phone off of speaker in the case, they could hear me just fine. When I took the phone out of the case, it worked much better on speaker.
I took that case back and replaced it with an Otterbox Pursuit. I made a call on speaker phone, and the other person said that my sound was muffled. When I took it off speaker, it was fine. I did not take it out of the case to test on speaker.
However, I am wondering if anyone else is having issues with cases and their iPhone 8 Plus. Also, might there be cases that do not have these issues? I would still like to get a case for my iPhone, but I have never encountered this problem before. Does anyone have any advice or any suggestions for a different cases that might work? The Pursuit seemed to still function, but not at the quality one would expect for the price. Also, I really like the case, so I would rather not switch it if I didn’t have to do so.
I have not contact Otterbox to ask about this, so I may do that too.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.0.1
