/canamera You, sir, need to calm down a bit.. you really start sounding like an employee.

People have been thinking that anyways from day one, so heck....think what you'd like!!! It's really hard to calm down when you find posts like these without any proper context or even class!! People are just writing whatever comes out of their minds, without thinking....

People are entitled to their own opinions and that doesn't mean you have to respond to them.
 
LIFE PROOF gives EVEN MORE DETAILS!

Aside from the letter to its customers! Lifeproof elaborated on their shipping details in the form of a Facebook Comment Post. Check IT OUT!!!!

Just read their facebook page. I don't know why you need to repost everything already on their facebook page.

As far as that meaningless message, they literally said nothing. They said so little using so many words. If that message comforted you or felt as if they provided any information whatsoever, they'll have no problems at all delaying shipments another couple of months.
 
"canamera" is known as `Mike Pursel` on the LifeProof FaceBook fanboy page. He does them proud.

Regarding those saying I did not talk to a Lawyer, fine, think what you want. But definiton, the way they have conducted business is a Ponzi. It is irrelevant whether the product exists or not. It is about how they procure money.

My own beef is simply that I put in a rather large order and wanted to change it. They were bordeline rude to me so I asked to cancel. Weeks go by and they still have not, and now the guy at LifeProof I was dealing with says he`s `lost` my order details. Meanwhile VISA tells me i`ve been charged.

Then added to that, anyone who queries anything on the FaceBook page gets pounced on by the Fanboy Army, or Life Proof simply deletes the comments. It`s not just me, many people are now complaining about it.

Good product or not, the way they do `business` is B.S.
 
I'm a product tester and have product tested Otterbox cases in the past. Their PR has always been friendly and happy to send me complimentary cases for review.

Lifeproof's PR on the other hand promised a beta unit after I emailed them, and since then informed me of manufacturing issues, then updated that to say they only have a very limited supply of beta units so there is no guarantee that I will receive one. They keep moving the goal posts on me.

The product is real, I mean I saw it for myself at SXSW, but there appears to be major production problems taking place that could adversely affect the company's future, especially with a new iPhone coming later this year. If problems like this keep happening the Lifeproof cases may never make it to the finish line.
 
^^ I got a similar story. First a promise to send out a beta unit, then nothing!

I do think some manufacturers tend to be send beta units to the yes-men quickly while those that tend to be a bit "independent", are ignored.

Hope all things get taken care of! I would be pretty upset if I was charged for a big order, and the package gets lost along the way. Keep reaching their customer service dept.
 
You definitely have issues!!!maybe anger management would be recommended!! No one is forcing you to order, cancel it, give your spot to someone who does want it, and wait til they're available in stores for purchase, it's as easy as that!!! You haven't lost anything in the process, so stop your bitching and move on already!!! You come over hear and post this trash behind your little user name to all your groupies is pathetic!! Why don't you copy what you said here on their facebook page, I'd love to see people's reactions!!!

Real classy of you....******** on the people that speak well of the company....I wonder if what you say here is also what you say there....or are you also one of the ass kissers??? Your problem with them is that now they have a free case to keep them happy, and your sucking your thumb!!!don't you feel stupid now....probably kicking yourself in the ass for not being a little nicer on their page aren't you buddy??


like I said before, if you think it's vaporware, then cancel your order!!!

I just don't understand how come you guys come over here behind your hidden identities talking all this crap, but none of you have cancelled your orders yet!! And on their Facebook page your all probably the ones kissing ass. I'm also willing to bet that by your attitudes, that none of you were part of the 25 that got a free case, and now your feeling stupid, and saying to yourselves: "if only I had known they were going to give out free cases, I would have also kissed ass"!!!!

Do yourselves all a favor, and just cancel your orders so that the people that do want them get them sooner!!!! But behind all this ******** talk, your all dying for one also, and aren't willing to risk the fact that the case might just be that good....

Umadbro?

YOU have a 4 year old? If thats true, man do I feel bad for the kid. Way to conduct yourself like an adult and not sound like an idiot completely. Do you even read what you say? You sound like a 14 year old raging on the internet. I can't believe no ones called this goofball out yet.
 
After I watched the videos on their site I am amazed by the case. I am however on the fence about buying one based on what everyone is saying about the company already.

I think I'll wait to dish out the cash for their iPhone 5 case (if there ever is one).

But sadly he is kinda right. If you are unhappy.....well cancel your order and move on. I mean looking at this thread with people thinking they have some kind of lawsuit and bashing the company...well is just a bit over the top IMO. Again if you are unhappy just move on. Too easy.
 
Always good entertainment in here :) I'm hoping mine gets shipped on or before the 1st as they said, or I'm cancelling and moving on as mentioned above.

Both of your issues are irrelevant.. Many companies, even big and known ones do that. It has nothing to do with the drama that's going around here though. That's the reality in the blogger business.. I bet they received thousands of requests by now. They are going to filter out sites and prioritize the ones the they will most benefit from. It's their right and you shouldn't go around and tell those stories to cause even more drama.

They already have for those who pre-ordered white or pink case.
 
^^ @scneiderman. The problem is promising a beta/test unit and then reneging......just isnt good business.

Maybe they looked at your terrible website and realized that sending you a unit would be a complete waste of time?

fair enough...... lol. BTW its just a blog, not a commercial site......at least I post my true impressions, unlike some of the yes-men :rolleyes:

Edit: BTW, they did say yes initially, they backed out later. I guess my blog really went downhill after they said yes, lol

Black cases are shipping out! White and Pink soon to follow. If people in the US ordered multiple colors, they are sending the black ones now and the others later free as well. This of course is for those people who have already ordered. They are still holding off on new orders until they satisfy those they already have.

Good to hear, i am still on pre-order status, but patiently waiting to order this one.
 
This is the most hyped up case I've read about. I wonder if it'll live up to its hype, this whole thread is pretty entertaining lol.
