They do have a protector but you don’t need it.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
Is it easy to take the LifeProof case on and off? Ideally I'd like to have a case for times when the phone might be at risk, travel, nights when maybe too much alcohol might be consumed, etc., and then be able to take it off the rest of the time.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
You know, since getting my first iPhone in 2009, I've never used a case. But I'm hoping to keep this phone--a 6S--until the 7S comes out, so have been thinking that maybe a case would be a good thing. I may check out the LifeProof cases.

When you say waterproof for the Lifeproof cases, would you feel comfortable taking it with you in the tub when getting a bath? Notice, I didn't say a shower, I said a full fledged bath? My friend did this, and though his phone was absolutely just fine afterward, even after he knocked it off the ledge of the tub face down into the water accidentally. I dunno though.

Well, that’s actually an interesting question even though it was meant tongue and cheek. Part of my time studying in college was interning on a SONAR project with the Navy. Set content, temperature, the fact it’s water, all have a big impact on the sound. Things are less bass heavy because of the way waves propagate.

I love their ruggedness, but can’t stand the fact that you can’t use the clip they come with without it tearing the casing to shreds. I’ve had 3 of them, and it either chipped the metal part of the casing, or shredded the rubber around the outside, or both. When it came to the first one I got, repeated use of the clip ground the metal on one side to the point that when I put it into the clip one afternoon, I heard this sound like sand moving around under someone’s shoes, so I took it out, and and part of the side of it looked like someone who’d had a cavity, or something weird like that.

You basically just have to get your fingernail up there in between both the front and back of that hard case, and pull it apart. Be ready to probably cut your finger a teeny bit though when doing it, as it's a little bit sharp. These things aren't meant to come off easily. You might be able to pry a butterknife or something in there and pop it, but I'd not chance it. That could be a little bit risky. I'm telling you right now, it's not gonna be an easy chore! It was fairly easy to do with the IPhone 5, and 5S cases, and I think, even the 5C cases, but once they went to the 6 cases which were thinner, it made it really really difficult. Don't be afraid that you're gonna break it, as it's not giving way. It'll come, I promise ya, but you're really gonna have to pull, and, buddy? I, mean, pull!

Re: Lifeproof, was: Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
So could someone tell me what kind of Life proof case I’d need for a six S plus? I’m always afraid when it rains that I might not be able to keep my phone dry as I put it in my kipling bag but so far it’s been OK. My phone is in one of those Apple cases. However, I might get the next I phone as someone really wants my 6 S plus but I’m still thinking about it because of the headphone jack being faced out and it depends what other types of hardware is put on that new phone before I spend my money.

Re: Lifeproof, was: Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
Chris, I’ll do you one better than that. I’m comfortable with a life proof case to take the phone diving full on in the ocean let alone a tub or shower. My cousin uses them for filming under water and they work well even at 300 feet down / greater than 100 meters. I’ve also used one on an iPad in the boat for several years now with no issue and it also took a hit falling when we got hit by a wave off the console on to the deck and the screen survived unbroken.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
Dona, also remember the 6S is a very solid phone. Apple put a lot of effort in to hardening the glass and the case. With my 6 I went with an open faced case which wasn’t half bad. Even with the screen exposed I had no problem when it came time to sell the phone and upgrade. Life proof is good stuff though, I think you’ll like it as long as you consider the speaker limitations which aren’t deal breaker bad but something to know ahead of time. > On Mar 17, 2016, at 8:44 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > > You know, since getting my first iPhone in 2009, I've never used a case.

Re: Lifeproof, was: Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
Chris, I think you’re about right. Depends on the device as well, easily $100 for the iPad and easily worth the money. Like I said I’ve seen a life proof save a brand new iPad when it flew through the air and crashed on my carbon fiber deck which should have smashed the glass. The belt clip is also sold separately for approximately $30. Expensive but to my mind worth the money. > On Mar 16, 2016, at 9:32 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland > wrote: > > Actually, they're not cheap, no, but I don't think they're quite that much. > Last I looked, I remember them being around $79USD. > --- > Christopher Gilland > JAWS Certified, 2016. > Training Instructor. > > clgillan...@gmail.com > Phone: (704) 256-8010 Extension 401. > - Original Message - From: "Jessica Moss" > To: > Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 8:47 PM > Subject: Re: Lifeproof, was: Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone > > > Join the club, those phones are super expensive lol.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
I’ve noticed that too; in my oppinion, for the money you put into them, they’re really poorly made. I love their ruggedness, but can’t stand the fact that you can’t use the clip they come with without it tearing the casing to shreds. I’ve had 3 of them, and it either chipped the metal part of the casing, or shredded the rubber around the outside, or both. When it came to the first one I got, repeated use of the clip ground the metal on one side to the point that when I put it into the clip one afternoon, I heard this sound like sand moving around under someone’s shoes, so I took it out, and and part of the side of it looked like someone who’d had a cavity, or something weird like that. > On Mar 16, 2016, at 7:14 AM, Daniel Miller wrote: > > Hi.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
Dona, you pull back the rubber from the outside. I find it easier to start to pry the rubber free by opening the ports and using them to gently remove the rubber from the frame. Then once the rubber is removed you feel clips on each side and the bottom. Use a finger nail or something and pull each clip free and the top slides out. > On Mar 15, 2016, at 7:56 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: > > I don't know which one it is, I didn't pay that close of attention.

Re: Just got an OtterBox case for my iPhone
The only down side of the life proof so you know ahead of time is the speaker tends to be covered because it’s such a water tight seal. So it doesn’t have the boom that the otter box does.

Oh you can definitely use it, you don’t lose the feature it’s just not as bass heavy or loud because it’s totally wrapped.

That's good to know. I guess I worry about it more because it's so thin. I'm really pretty careful with my phone.

Hi. You don't really want to take it off, unless you absolutely have to. The more you take it on and off, the looser the rubber portion of the case becomes, which in my opinion is the worst part about that case. For the amount of money those cases cost, they should be better designed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're talking about the defender series, right? If not, I stand corrected.
