Life proof case

[steelerdude1]

I bought a life proof case today, it's nice and offers great protection, but the screen protector has a slim bit of foam by the ear piece and camera lense that lifts the protector and you have to push harder on the screen towards the top, and when I play music from the phone speakers, I get a vibration sound that almost sounds like a blown speaker.

Anyone elso have these issues? Are there any fixes?

This seems to be a regular thing with their case. I don't own one yet but I have been reading reviews and other comments on their facebook page and this seems to be a common complaint. You should check out their facebook page.

I got the Lifeproof case and used it for 2 days. Loved the protection but too many drawbacks. You pretty much have to use a bluetooth headset with it because voice quality in and out suffers so bad. I cured the vibration sound by putting a small square of black tape on the back plate of the case to stop it vibrating against the phone. But all and all not happy with the case. If i go somewhere that i need the protection, fine. But no good for day to day use. Oh well.

You are not alone with this report.

Thanks for sending me to the FB page. I found out I got the first version, and that the bugs have been worked out in the newest version, and that lifeproof will replace the one I have for the new version. I filed a warranty claim, so I should be sent a new one.

I have the same problem with my lifeproof case what did you do did you call them because I need a new case my sound sucks and it's a vibrating sound in my ear

I had the lifeproof case worst part was sound issue and screen protecter was not flush enough......... always look like air bubbles were in it....... I switched over to outerbox so much happier...

@DayoDee, I filed a warranty claim on the website. My research show it takes them about 2 weeks to get the new one out to you.

How can you tell if your case is the old case?

It shouldnt be there is nothing covering the speakers on the ip5 while using the defender.

Oh ok so just go to there website and file a warranty complaint

Exactly why I'm baffled cause I can clearly hear a difference when not in case... All I can think is different song qualitys are causing this..?
