How is the sound with this case? Does a call sound clear or does the case make voices sound mumbled?

Doesn't alter the sound at all. No issues. Would buy this case again if I needed another.

I have never had any issues with the sound since this case has been on my phone

I have had no problems hearing calls or listening to music. The sound is clear and not muffled at all. This case is by far the best waterproof case I have seen.

To me the answering machine is not very loud. I have bought three phones and the one I would buy again would be the clarity XL professional. This is a great phone. Everything is adjustable and is loud if you need it to be. You can't go wrong with the clarity.

I personally have no problem hearing anything. It sounds great. No problems with the screen protector either. All around great case. �

You can hear it but it's not as loud as it is with out it. But if you use the plug addapter that should come with the phone with speakers or head phones it's he same as it is with out. So if you get a case I suggest you get speakers also

I don't think that the sound is muffled or hard to hear. Actually the Otterbox provides a small "surround" environment for my iPod 4. Thus it very slightly enhances the sound.

You have to open the front of the case to answer the phone. Then simply fold the front toward the back of the case to answer the call. I set my ringer on medium - high and have no problem hearing it.

No it is not muffled. Originally without the case on you wouldn't be able to place your finger where the speaker is. With the case on you can place your finger there and will not be muffled. If anything it sounds better!

I think its loud but I am not hard of hearing, I actually have it on medium, so I would think it is ok. You can always return phone if it doesn't work. The reason I wanted it was 4 AT&T; phones I tried the speaker did not work right. It works great on this phone.

In my opinion the call quality is fine and I work offshore to where noises can be loud and I have no problem hearing. People on the other end of the line also say that the call doesn't sound muffled on my end. The case is actually quite slim. A lot smaller then an otterbox defender. Doesn't add much bulk at all.

They get pretty loud. I'm betting your only issues will be talking on the phone with them. My full face handles calls easily, I'm sure it'll do fine.

There is a cut out for the speaker. I use mine on speaker phone and have never had an issue being heard or hearing the caller. I love this case. I highly recommend it.

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

You use the phone's microphone. It has been OK to use so far but some people say my voice sounds muffled on the other end.

Sometimes the sound seems muffled, but not all the time. I think it has more to do with reception than the case.

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings&gt;networks tab&gt;call&gt;noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.
