Coming soon waterproof to 2m for 30 minutes, but I'm sure would go much longer. It's expensive but will probably be around $50 on Amazon. It's worth saving your phone and insurance or replace cost. Plus underwater pictures on a cell phone would be nice. Anybody else getting one?

only 2m?
That is the requirement to meet the IP67 rating. A device that is certified IP67 must survive at 1 meter for 30 minutes.

I think well worth it, how many times will it be under 6 ft? I posted on the Otterbox Facebook asking if they had a waterproof case in the works but did not get a solid response. I wonder how underwater picture quality would be and if any audio would pick up. There is a case for the iPhone that is waterproof, it's about time we got something.

Just like the defender is almost half price anywhere other than the otterbox site you should be able to get one at 2/3 60-70 range I hope. Has anybody seen the iPhone in the lifeproof case? Asking in the wrong place maybe someone knows somebody?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
wow pictures underwater sounds nice.. and the price is not too high
after 30 minutes what would happen? will water break through the case or the phone will be damaged by the pressure?
I'm not sure, I've seen iPods in Missouri cases go hours. Get a case put some weight and a paper towel in it to test.
Edit: Lifeproof, not Missouri

Just received it today from Verizon online. The color is real close to the pebble blue color. It just has a eggshell finish. It does not come with a screen protector however they did include a phone stand. Buttons work great!

I got mine my a verizon store. they mustve been out
Thanks for the pics. Is this case one or two pieces? Also, do you think it's a case that could easily be removed and put back on several times a day with ease and not lose it's grip or form? I'm asking because I'm very interested in this case but I'm also getting a car dock and whether I get a universal dock or custom dock depends on if the case I'm using can be easily removed. Also, how do you think it would protect against drops versus slightly bulkier cases like the Otterbox Commuter or Seidio Active cases? Thanks very much.
It's two pieces much like a seidio active case. It is real easy to install and remove.
Here is a video review of a different color one from sprint. The Verizon one has a stand instead of the screen protector.

I have the white version of the case and I'm not impressed. It feels a little too big and bulky. I put it on my SG3 for about 15 minutes before I decided it wasn't for me. I put it back in the packaging and it's like new. If anybody wants it I'll take $15 shipped anywhere in the US.

To me the thickness is about right. Its still less bulk than the commuter. I like a little protection for this huge expensive screen.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have this same case only in a different color blue which I actually like better. It is a brighter blue and I believe it is a T-Mobile exclusive. I think the case is nice and offers good protection for the size. It doesn't add much thickness at all but I do have one complaint which is why I'm returning it. The cell signal and Wifi signal are effected by the case. I've done numerous tests and on average, you lose two bars of WiFi and roughly 2-3mb/s download speeds on 4G. To me, the protection is not worth the signal trade off.
Strange, I haven't experienced any signal loss.

If you are on WiFi, take the case off and move to a location where you are only getting two bars. Then apply the case and watch the bars drop off. I've already done the testing with my phone, my wife's phone and a co-workers phone.

Pretty much all cases affect signal quality a bit. No reason to freak out about it. The added protection tradeoff is worth it.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This is the one I got from T-Mobile. Maybe it is a different case than the one you have and don't get any signal loss with. It is called the Silicrylic Dual Protection. I highly doubt Incipio changed the material for T-Mobile and only T-Mobile. Maybe it's the color....
IIRC tge shiny versions have some metal in them and hurt reception. The traditional silicrylics (like the VZW and others)are only silicone and poly carbonate. I have no issues on multiple phones with their traditional versions.

I have the white and grey one. I noticed that today the volume buttons have ripped away a bit. I will be returning it to the Verizon store for an exchange. It's only 3 days old. I like the case, but the silicone part is cut back a bit around the buttons, and makes it weak which caused mine to rip. Im hoping it's a fluke because it's a nice case with a good feel.

just a pity its BLACK. yuck. at least otterbox "gets it" and has some nice colors. too bad they are still very expensive relative to alternatives.
I do want their dual tone blue one though
for those of you who lovr bigger phones or tablets/e readers...then the FlyGrip is the accessory for you. the FlyGrip goes on the back of your device and allows you to have a firm grip of your device and doubles as a kickstand. check out the site

I've seen this and reviews a while back but it's not my cup of tea... Though I can say that for anyone other than past loyal customers $30 is probably too high a price. Cost of materials can't be more than $5-$10. I'm really not trying to be **** either just stating my 2¢

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The product isn't worth $30 but they have a patent pending on it. I own one and i have to say, i love using it. I swapped back to my old Incipio Sillicrylic because I was in an environment that need the extra cover. After I got home, i swapped back to the Flygrip right away. I like that it doesn't bulge my phone up all around and i can touch every part of the screen without feeling that i'll slip the phone through my hands and end up in mud/water/concrete. It took me a while to get used to putting my fingers through it. in the end, i'm satisfied.
It's a little steep in price, but I was more than willing to pay for it and might buy another since mine is just slightly large. It is really useful and I get so many comments on it. Plus it's really cool that it doubles as a stand in both landcape and portrait modes. My only regret is that it definitely means it will be inconvenient to do the wireless charging hack and I think it might interfere with Google wallet. In the wireless charging hack the phone must sit flush with the charging pad and it may be the same with using Google wallet to pay via PayPass. I'm still looking into that last one.
yeah that's my only complaint as well and if it interferes with S Beam, etc

I've just tested last night with my girlfriend's S3 and it works perfectly fine. She has the Incipio Sillicrilic case and I had my Flygrip. even though that 1+ cm distance from both phones, i've sent a song and a few pictures successfully.
$29.95.
WOW....... Price is ridiculous. I usually pay for an over priced item now and then for something I am interested in but the price on the FlyGrip is really pushing it. Most defiantly passing on this product!
That was my issue I wasnt sure if NFC still would work. And I dont know if it will stick to my Otter box

the double sided tape is from 3M so it should stick no problem unless the outer shell is soft. but that's going to be pretty thick attaching the flygrip to it. i'm using the flygrip solo and it feels very secure. i haven't dropped my phone(knock on wood).
No offense, but I lol'd when I saw it. I lol'd again when I saw the price.

Amazon and newegg are my go to places to shop online.
Anyway regarding the case I don't think it's overrated. It's really nice and has a unique aggressive design. It has a nice wow factor. When people see it for the first time they almost fall in love with it.
In terms of protection: if there is a bar with no protection, mid level protection and maximum protection, this case would be in mid level.
I recommend it to those ppl who don't drop their phone's too often. It doesn't add much bulk at all and still looks sleek and awesome.
If you tend to drop your phone a lot then move to the otterbox/ballistic level of cases.

That's really neat technology, but I wouldn't do it to the phone I paid $600 for. To be honest, water damage is the least of my concerns. I'm far more likely to drop it on pavement or gravel.

What about the connectors for battery, sd and sim cards, headphone jack, usb port.....I'm assuming you'd have to scrape the stuff off of where ever there needs to be bare metal for a connection. If anyone does this be extremely careful of the usb/charging port! It can be easily damaged. And this stuff probably won't be easy to get out of a headphone jack if it blocks the connection.
I'm also curious about the effect it has on the sound, but more importantly the mic. Will others be able to hear you as well?
I'm cautiously optimistic with this stuff. It is awesome, but for a smart phone, I don't know. Kinda wonder if they were just using it as an extreme demonstration, like the guy with a screen door in the bottom of the boat. Sure it can be done, but it is never actually recommended you do so.
Not trying to be a downer, just thinking of all the angles to look at before doing a $600 test. Be careful! And good luck! I really do hope it works w/o any issues!
Oh and someone asked about touchscreen sensitivity. They did not apply it to the screen.
