25% off at Lifeproof

[festnoob]

I don't know if anyone is interest but Lifeproof is offering 25% off on phone cases on there website. I, personally, am a fan of their products.

I left my iPhone 4 under a guide rail once. It shot out from under it when the 55 made contact. It flew across the shop And hit the wall. The case isn't bulky but it protected the phone.

After we upgraded to the 5s my wife refused to spend that kind of money on the Lifeproof case and a month later my son dunked her phone in her coffee mug. Ouch!

Plus if you're in the shop it keeps the dust out. BUT we are Festool operators; who's worried 'bout dust??

I had problems with the Lifeproof Nüd on my 5S. It was causing phone calls to be garbled, especially at the other end. You have to purge all the air from the case when installing it. The instructions are on their website.

I'm also a big fan of the Lifeproof cases. I had no issues with the one in my 4S.

I switch my 4S between a Lunatik and a Lifeproof, which I fondly refer to as a "raincoat."

Both have pros and cons.  Lunatik (which K-119 is an Authorized Dealer for) is the Iron Man suit of phone cases.  Only downside, Lunatik is water-resistant (at best), whereas the Lifeproof is (as-rated), water-proof (not that I'd take it snorkeling).  The Lifeproof also does win out on slimmer profile and lighter weight, though, I do like the Lunatik's form and aesthetic impact factor. 

Use both regularly, love both religiously

I've never heard of the Lunatik case. I'll check it out but probably won't buy because we just bought Lifeproof cases.

Lunatik is still a relatively small brand, known best as one of the very early, very successful Kickstarter campaigns.  I stumbled across the brand back in 2012, when my bare phone (along with Chinese sailboat guide lady), fell into the Hangzhou Bay as she tried to take a picture of me and Executives of Festool Shanghai during my visit.  Surprisingly she held on to the phone, which did see water damage, but was still able to recover all data.  Once I came back stateside, I dove into researching "premium protection" phone cases and ended up with 3 candidates -- OtterBox, Lifeproof, and Lunatik.  Since OtterBox and Lifeproof were both being carried by large retailers (BestBuy, Target.. etc.), I opted to carry Lunatik.

Attached is the last photo before taking the dunk... lol

And which one is you?

Far right.  I've gotten a haircut and lost some weight since then, or so I'd like to believe.  :

The company declares it "dust proof"

Not to fond of lifeproof for iPhones.  

The plastic film is bit bubbly like would be better if it sat dead flat on the screen.

Also it does reduce the touch sensitivity.

Especially if it has water on it you gotta dry the screen to not get fustrated with the touch screen.

I found it reduces the microphone quality on you phone.  
I much prefer the lifeproof for my iPad.  It uses the screen to make a seal to waterproof it instead of having a film.

Again microphone is poor and speaker volume is reduced slightlym.
