I'll wait for the Otterbox Defender in the color I've been looking for.... Here's a thread I started before deciding to try the NUUD this time around. Looks like I'll be going with Otter again by default.

I didn't receive anything... And I don't see anything posted on their Facebook or Twitter accounts, so I hope this isn't accurate.
If this was true, I will be so upset having waiting all this time. No chance I would get a LifeProof in January.

That was through our corporate site...but it's available on their regular site also.

Ok, so they seem to believe the availability is going to be the 25th of November (ouch!), but I'm still interested in saving 33% !!! That's an INSANE discount!!!
Are you guys preordering it from there? Or would I be better off ordering it from LifeProof when it becomes available?
I haven't seen a pre-order anywhere else yet...I haven't decided. The nuud doesn't have the screen protector, right? Is that the only main difference?

That's correct. I think it's SLIGHTLY bulkier than the Fré also
----------
Lifeproof Fré
Dimensions:5.4 x 0.49 x 2.74 / 132.2 mm x 12.45 mm x 69.6 mm
Weight: 0.96 oz / 27.2 g
Lifeproof NUUD
Dimensions: 5.45" x 0.56" x 2.65" / 138.43 mm x 14.22 mm x 67.31 mm
Weight: 1.41 oz / 40 g

Those dimensions were for the 5S BTW. Just used a reference point!
Sweet! Can anyone confirm this?
----------
I think the nuud does come with a screen protector optional to put on? I think the main difference in the fre is not waterproof while the nuud is?
Is thta right?

Both cases are watertight. The difference is the NUUD is meant to be used WITHOUT a screen protector, which makes the case a bit bulkier because of the design.
Oh okay thanks! That clears it up.
Just chatted with BHPhoto and they said the 25th is when they'll receive it, that doesn't mean that they'll ship out that day but they will ship pre-orders first.
Placed my pre-order for the Black fre case. Hopefully it'll be before the 25th, but I'll keep an eye on other sites...
