On this new color version this problem seems to have been fixed. Calls in the ear piece are nice & clear.
Hey, please put up some pictures of your color fre case when you get it.
Please let me know if you have a wavy screen also?
The screen seems fine. Is it perfectly flat like a hard plastic? No. It's just fine for me.
The front has no oil slicks that I notice. What I do when I put the case on is blow onto the screen and phone as it sits into place. Is this the reason for no slicks on mine.....who knows.
Made a few calls and all is well. No echos, vibrations, nothing.
Fit is nice and snug with no gaps.
The color is what does it for me. It adds to the iphone look, not take way from it.
I got the Cyan Lifeproof case today, along with a Magenta the wife got. So far I really like the case for sure. The sound quality, both out of the headpiece, as well as the speakerphone is great. The only thing is there is still a little oil slick, but nothing major as you cant really see it incase the phone is turned off, in which you wont be looking at it anyways, lol. But the Cyan color is AWESOME!! Here are some pics, and Hooterville, I jacked your poses in the belt clip, lol.

Received the replacement case that LP said was coming directly off the production line...
Product code: 001083262
Can't beat that number ;-)
Case looks solid & nice to see they made the molding inside a solid piece, no glued on pads on the front piece. More testing soon, but have faith that this one is a keeper!

Doesn't appear to be. I'll be doing more testing tomorrow and make sure to get some better photos ;-)
This is why I finally quit any case with a screen, including the fre. Just cant stand the oil slick. Plus screen is too nice to cover.
Also known as Newton rings. It looks like oil on water, between the screen and the case.
If you take off your case a lot, the oil slicks will appear. I am not trying to convince you that the case is perfect because its not. No case is perfect. At the end of the day you have to decide what is good for you and what you can live with. It's pretty clear that the new cases are out and I do not believe that lifeproof needs to improve any further. The new cases work as advertised. For me, I needed a color scheme that doesn't cheapen my phone. I am perfectly happy with my new colored case.
Hooverville, how is yours holding up?

Nice! Is there still a thick plastic piece over the proximity sensor? I can't tell from your photos if it's unchanged or not.
