Otterbox has ruined Lifeproof? Really guys? Lifeproof has been under the Otterbox banner for a year and a half now, i don't think a delay in manufacturing has anything to do with them. Just seems like people want another reason to complain now

Anyway. I'm not believing the reports that they've been delayed, as the official site still says November, and people who have contacted them via Facebook and Twitter have been told there's no such delays

I think the delay is OK considering that gives them the chance to test it and prevent a lot of problems...which a lot of other products have seen due releasing it the same day as the iPhone release.
 
Would you go with a defender until lifeproof comes out ? I want something close to the lifeproof protection for now even if it's not waterproof
 
Apple iPhone release date vs. LifeProof release date

here are my predictions for LifeProof release date based on past experiences:

iPhone 6 frē - it will be available in mid-week (Nov 18-20, Nov 25-26) on LifeProof dot com (USA only)

iPhone 6 nüüd - it will be available in mid-week (Dec 16-18, Dec 23-24) on LifeProof dot com (USA only)

For retail locations such as Best Buy, it will be available on Dec 14, 2014 (iPhone 6 frē)
 
I just hope it gets here soon. I've got a Best Buy gift card burning a hole in my pocket.

I went through 2 LifeProof cases on my 4s and never got one for my 5s. The cases on my 4s got scratched to hell due to carrying the case in the same pocket with my keys; the case literally wore out in places. I'm hoping this next round will be a little more "life proof" and able to withstand it. Great case, just needs to be able to take a little more of the daily grind before I'm in a rush to get one.
 
Based on their Facebook page, it sounds like they are now taking preorders. Email notifications seem to be going out in the order everyone signed up.
 
Its not coming out in November, hell probably not even December.

You sir are incorrect. Just got this email and the Fre is in stock.

For those that have ordered, does it say when they will ship? Are they actually available now, or is this a "pre-order"?
 
I want to get a Lifeproof case, not as a daily case but for when I go to the beach. I want to just stop having to worry about my phone, and I heard Lifeproof is best in this department.

Sadly, their website is still showing nothing.
 
I wonder why they aren't offering the fre for the 6 plus. Are you 6 plus owners getting the nuud or holding out to see if the fre becomes available?
 
You guys were right I was wrong! I didn't receive the official e-mail yet from Lifeproof but BHPhotoVideo said for those who pre-ordered; they are expecting to have the cases in stock in a few days!!!
 
Is this an exclusive sale? When i click the link it gives me an option to purchase, but when i go thru the website it shows coming soon. Just wanted to be sure before i put in my CC number.

It should let you purchase. The email is going out to those that signed up to be notified (in the order in which you signed up). I tried to use the 15% off coupon on the front page of LP, but it wouldn't work.
 
gotcha!
Thanks for posting the link...i have the white iphone, deciding if i should be impatient and just order the black since thats the only one they have available or wait it out....:rolleyes:
