Incipio Atlas Waterproof Case

I'm waiting on Verizon and I want the 64GB. I might have to settle for the 32 as I'm not sure we will ever see the 64 here in the US.
I can't wait to get my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I'm gonna wait a couple months and see what reviews are like and then prob buy one used since I want to keep my unlimited data with verizon
Thanks for the pics Cubano21.
Can someone post a pic with the splash proof headphone adapter please? Also, if you don't like it and returning it, can you submerge it in water and see how it holds up with the adapter?
I loved the LP -oil slicks and muffled sound, but waterproof adapter was a bonus. Didn't like the Armour brick, nor the non waterproof jack and flimsy port covers, but loved the clear sound from earpiece and speaker. Retuned both. I've had 15 LPs until BB said no more exchanges... have a naked phone now .
I'm hoping Atlas is the one!

Couple more questions, do the
water-resistant gaskets for the charging port and headphone jack feel flimsy? Feel like they'll break over time of excessive opening and closing like Otterbox products? Any indication in the packaging on how many times you can open and remove the case from the phone? LP had a limit of 25 and no limits on the Armor.

I guess everyone that received the Atlas must have their heads buried in the sand. The case must suck a big one.
Still waiting on my blue/black one.

I will have mine in a couple days and do a full review then if the other guys on here haven't gotten around to it yet.
All Verizon Wireless stores have the Atlas cases in stock today. I'm thumbing my ass waiting on Incipio to ship mine.

Just go buy one from verizon and return your preorder.
I'll just wait. I have already wasted enough money on the Atlas which is more then likely another POS Fre case.

Well it's a shame you feel so negatively about everything, hopefully it doesn't disappoint you

You've been negative about all the cases so far, although I am amazed you don't even have a atlas yet and your putting it down. Maybe you should go see a shrink or something and talk about whats really bothering you in life Kristy.

Hooterville is negative about every single case out there.
I'm sure it's not the OCD that's causing this kind of behavior though.
I'm stating the plain facts about the cases. On Incipio's Facebook page the people are already complaining about bad sound quality of the Atlas. I'll find out myself soon enough.
+1 wasted time and money on these waterproof cases. Incipio will be the last and then I'll pick the lesser of 2 evils.I'll just wait. I have already wasted enough money on the Atlas which is more then likely another POS Fre case.

Maybe he/she just needs some hooters to cheer em up

I see the comments and the only one complaining seems to not be having any issues after he realigned the phone....
Don't worry all, Hooter tends to seem to have the worst of all these cases. She'll get the bad one and everyone else's will be good. ;-)
Just picked one up from the Verizon store... I'll give some initial impressions soon..
I've got one issue right off the bat though that I wanted to see if anyone else was having. The glass screen seems nice, but mine is pretty unresponsive...particularly around the bottom edges. I'm finding that I repeatedly have to repress keys when I'm typing - especially when I need to press delete.
Anyone else having this issue? Perhaps mine isn't lined up very well. I've tried realigning the phone within the case a couple of times but it hasn't helped.

Okay issue #2
this one is even worse. I made four calls with the case and in every one I started getting a very high-pitched whine out of the earpiece. It was very loud on my end and the person on the other end could hear it as well but it wasn't particularly loud.
On the fourth call I tried switching back and forth to the speaker phone a couple of times. It doesn't happen on speaker but it comes back within seconds when I switch the back to 'normal.'
My best guess is that it sounds like some sort of feedback. Is anyone else experiencing this?
