Hi Peggy, No offense, but that is exactly what I said. It does of course help if you read somebody's entire message and not just the first line or paragraph. Once again, this is not meant in a bad way, just pointing it out for down the road when you feel it necessary to correct somebody who in fact didn't require correcting. If you don't know what I am talking about please review my message which is still in this conversation.
One other thing I'd like to point out though is the fact that if you want the case to be fully waterproof yet you may not want to use it with a headset all the time, it is necessary to always carry that little screw-in plug with you since simply unplugging the headset will maintain water proof status, but there will be no Voiceover because iOS still thinks a headset is plugged in. You would have to unscrew and remove the entire adapter which then opens up the hole for the headset and then screw in the little plug.

Life proof send you a special headphone adapter that screws into the court that makes the case waterproof. It comes with the case when you buy it.

The first one is to plug your earphones straight into the phone through the hole in the Lifeproof case. This way means the case it not fully waterproof since water would get in around the earphones through the hole and yes, the hole is only big enough for the small diameter jack of the Apple headset. If you want the case to be fully waterproof without using a headset, you use a little plug which screws into that hole, it has an actual thread and you screw the plug in tight and no water can get in. If you want the case to be waterproof and use a headset, you use a little 2 or so inch adapter cable. It plugs into the headset port of the phone and you also screw it down just like the plug. As soon as you tighten it all the way, the jack of that adapter is down in the > headset jack of the phone and the external speaker is disabled. Now on the other end is a female plug-in where you plug in your headset and here you could use any headset you want including a waterproof headset. No water can get through the actual short cable/adapter and nothing can get into the hole since it is completely sealed.

I thought this was a waterproof rather than just water resistant case, so was just curious. Also what kind of headphones can you use. The cases I currently have will only allow me to use headphones with cables the same size as the Apple earbuds that came with the iPhone. I don't mean the size of the jack, I mean the case cutout for the headphone is too narrow to allow me to connect headphones unless their cable is as narrow as the Apple earbuds. That cable is narrow enough to slip into the case and connect the jack to the phone. Hope this makes sense. Lisa if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!
