Lifeproof for iPhone 5 Availability....

[kruseanderson]

I have had a Lifeproof case on my iPhone 4S for about 4 1/2 months and I would say it is a very good case: bulk vs protection. I have dropped my phone numerous times on concrete (and other places) and I also let me 3 year watch his videos and play games on the phone. I don't intend on bringing it under water for photos but like the fact that if it gets dropped in a puddle or something like that it's covered. I see where Scotiez is coming from; after dropping the phone on concrete there was some noticeable damage to the rubber around the edge hat looked like the case may leak. Did a test and it still worked. If you are planning on being around the water or use it underwater, I would suggest doing the water test to make sure your case is still good.

(the crack goes all the through to the front of the case)

This is where mine and my wife's cases split. They replaced one under warranty but I haven't called about the other. Her case lasted about 8 months but mine only made it about 4. Wish they held up a little better but otherwise I like the case.

Well.... the "loo" was used for dramatic effect! "Crapper" might be better suited for this group. LOL!!

That's right where this convo is headed unless we get out of here, lol!

Just reported on Lifeproof's FB page...

Also says that both white & black will be available during the initial release. Still no exact date, though.

When will we know that they actually have the cases for sale?
I guess just keep checking the site.

Where did U see the advertisement showing the white version?

Wonder if they will have the belt clip available with the launch of the case.

What does everyone think the price will be?

I'm thinking $99.99 or more

They post updates on their FB & Twitter pages. I saw the "white" update on FB.

Do you think we will actually be able to purchase this case before the month (Oct.) is over?

They're saying by the end of October... don't see why not.

Sounds good, I'll take a black one with overnight shipping

Another day, no Lifeproof case for the iPhone 5. My 5 came with a couple scuffs right out of the box and I don't want to add any more.

Mine went straight into a Speck case w/ a thick full screen protector... impatiently waiting for the Lifeproof to drop!!

I threw my iphone down 2 flights of stairs in a parking garage at work last week. Luckily, I had the otterbox case on and not a scratch on the phone! just a scuff on top of the otter box! I really need this life proof case!

You should try to control your anger so you don't need the case
