It's the adapter you have to use if you want the case to be totally
waterproof but use the headset. You screw the end with the screw into the
hole for the headphone jack and plug your headset into the other end.

Subject: RE: question about the life proof case for the iPhone 5
Hi all,
I'm happy to say I bought the case. My Dad and I opened it up and had a
look, and the case already had a screw at the bottom. I assume that's the
one to seal the headphone jack?
There was another screw attached to a cable with what looked like a
headphone plug at one end. I'm sure there is a diagram in the manual so
Dad
will probably see how this works and can show me, but thought I'd ask on
here as well, how does this second screw and cable work?
God bless,
Andrew

They screw in by hand. The charging port has a door.

Hi all,
Thanks everyone for the info about this case. I've considered
purchasing it for a while now and am going to look into it tomorrow.
As I understand it, there are 2 earphone screw plugs, one that allows
you to use a headset, and one that just screws into the phone sealing
the port so no water gets in. is this correct?
Do you just screw these in by hand, or do you need a screw driver?
Also, what about the charging port? How is that sealed and how do you
access it when the phone needs charging?
Thanks all in advance,
Andrew

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.
Regards,
Sieghard

It is not true that if you plug your headphones into the life proof
case for it is not waterproof. 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.

Hi Lisa,
There are 2 ways you can use the Lifeproof case with earphones. 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.
Regards,
Sieghard

Peggy are the ports sealed in the case but accessible or how do you
use the headphone jack if it's not a Bluetooth connection? 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.
