You must be joking. I was hoping to get one ASAP.
How can Otterbox have their defender cases out on day one and Lifeproof take until December?
I'm also planning on getting one, seems quite pricy. But it is well worth if there is any accident. Better than buying applecare+
Why not get both for the win ?
I seriously can not believe how people are happy with lifeproof cases. They were plagued with issues on the iphone 4/4s, and the hard plastic screen protector essentially ruined the touch responsiveness. I'd use a ziploc bag over a lifeproof case, seriously.
Do you work for Otterbox?
I didn't even mention Otterbox did I ? Ohhh no not you again
Cause its too pricy. I think the lifeproof is alot better, it protects from water, dust and all kinds of damage. Applecare you still have to pay 50 per incident. Not made out of money

It's an $700 to $1000 phone
Up to you lol, but I would just stick with a nice solid case that is nearly invincible for everyday drops and accidents.
I think I saw on their official twitter account that there is some sort of plastic.
This phone looks awesome. The design is amazing. As long as the touch sensitivity isn't really affected then I'm going to get this.
Found it: @Jason_Diaz No not at all. There is plastic covering the cutout. https://twitter.com/LifeProof/statuses/250735902207406080
Anyone know if the company offers warranty for phone in case their cases fail to provide protection from water and it gets damaged? Seems like they should..
No they do not warrant your phone. And one thing most people miss is that it is only water proof for 30 minutes at a depth if 6.6 feet. And that the case can only be taken on and off so many times before the seal is not good any more. It is still a good case. I had one on my 4s and most likely will get it for my 5.
LifeProof iPad nuud is waterproof also, but the whole front is exposed. If the rear cutout for iPhone 5 were exposed, you'd be left with a scuffed square for an Apple logo after extended use.
