Lifeproof Trouble Anyone?? - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Hey guys, I currently have an Otterbox Defender and Otterbox Commuter case and was thinking about getting a Lifeproof case. I see so many terrible reviews on both the fre and nuud case about audio problems where it is hard for people to hear you or you can't hear them...I am just wondering if I should pull the trigger and buy on of these and if so which version??
Or should I wait for the new Otterbox Preserver case??

Anybody have any suggestions??

Did you read the "lifeproof" thread a little bit down the page?

Yes all 13 pages or whatever of it...hard to say...some people say the audio problem ruins the case others say they love it

when i put on speaker there is already an echo. like it for water proof but other then that. case sucked

Hmm...well maybe I should wait...everyone has this same problem. I suppose I could wait for the otter box...see if it is any better

Better to hold out for now. Case is pure junk.
I have gone through 4 nuud replacements plus once they sent me a fre. Not only is inbound and outbound audio degraded, but the housing of the case interferes with the proximity sensor.
Working on getting my money back right now.

Alright I'm gonna hold off on it

let me know if u get it. I want to see if you can see the dot pattern through it.
Ordered I'll review it when it comes in
I've already received shipping confirmation with a teaching number... So far so good
Sexy case. I'm just wary on possible scuffs it may make. Anyway subscribing and awaiting feedback

Very nice case, I'm waiting for your feedback
As it's a low price, I can order another one when there'll be scuff on it.
That's exactly what I was looking for! I ordered two.
I would stay away from any hard plastic cases as it VERY easy to scratch and crack.
I stopped using these cases after my Samsung Behold. I had one on my phone... My phone fell out of my pocket and this case broke off -___-

I have been using hard plastic cases for two years, and so far so good. There are no scratch/scuff marks that I can make out. Of course the user experience will depend heavily on the quality of the plastic, but that's the case for all cases.

Hybrid case

Hello my fellow xda users
Im really sorry if there its a thread about this case but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Im thinking about buying this case for my phone but I really hate buying something without doing any research.
Could someone please tell me if I should but this case? It seems to be new on Ebay. If you have bought this case please let me know what you think about it. :beer:
Thank you

I just bought this case. It is great. It is probably the most protective case out right now. My only issue is it is a bit large and is a pain to slide in and out of your pocket.
But I'm no longer afraid of shattering my fragile phone.
Also the case makes it a bit hard to pull down the notification bar.
I combined it will a full body best skin ever and I'm positive my phone will look brand new a year from now when I sell it. Also the skin feels very natural, unlike invisishield

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't metal cases interfere with cell signal?

Oh that's cool. I think we have the same battery cover. I have lime green on currently from the 6 pack on Amazon. My fre back is clear too so similar concept.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Looks nice. I assume the clear plastic doesn't have the matte finish of the colored UAGs, which will make the case a little bit slipperier.
The interior back doesn't have a layer of shock-absorbing rubber. I wonder if the case will be thinner as a result.

Color is true to the Amazon color. IPod touch camera sucks. Snaps on flush and perfect with no issues and same clearance as official battery cover.

Finally got it in! Awesome case! I got a blue battery cover too. Will take pics of that also. Only downside is that this case is so much harder to get on/off. The black long sides do not flex as much as my black uag case but that's not a biggie for me cause it looks awesome and is protected like all other uag cases!

Is the clear plastic smooth or textured? I wish it didn't have the honeycomb design.

Smooth from the outside. Honeycomb is inside for shock absorption. I like the Honeycomb!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
the honeycomb gives a reptile/crocodile skin type of look that probably won't go well with a brushed aluminum or carbon fiber battery cover. plus it makes the case look hazy/frosted in certain angles. thanks for posting pics of it. :good:

I sometimes need one.
Can anyone recommend one or let me know what you use.
If this helps I get a lot of stuff from Amazon.com

The Joby griptight mount with the gorilla pod is a good combination. My wife steals it all the time to use in the kitchen. When she uses her phone as a cook book or watches something from her phone.

It will fit a wide variety. I have a S4 w/ UAG Case. Wife has a S3 w/ otterbox commuter. Fits w/ room to spare. I believe a cased Note will also fit.
