Well, I got mine today and I'm sending it back. First of all it even though I knew it was a fake I wasn't prepared for how poor it really is. Mine was from a guy on ebay but the back looks like the one pictured on the alibaba site. Nowhere on the case does it even pretend to say Lifeproof and the rear is really poor quality plastic. It has glue on the camera lense cover so I can't take a clear picture and the front and rear don't actually seal. Mine is from this guy:

http://myworld.ebay.com/xman2117/&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2754

In Fall River, MA, so I would avoid anybody buying from him. From the pictures it looks like it's the exact same case as the poster who ordered the $14 one so maybe there is more than 1 company making these and maybe the quality is different. I may or may not order the other one Infuser posted, after seeing this one I may just be happy to wait until lifeproof actually releases their case, paying $80 is worth it compared to the one I just opened. I'm not even going to post pictures of it. If you've never seen a real lifeproof you might be happy with this, but with mine I don't think anybody at all would be satisfied with glue on the camera lense. Buyer beware, glad the other 2 people like theirs.

Got the Seido Obex Case today and it works great with my case!

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Holster I mean..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Looks likeim stuck with this, unless eBay changes its mind. The seller is offering a refund minus 22%, not worth it for me once I pay for shipping so ill try cleaning the lense and see how pics look. Here's some pictures of the case and box, its not as "real" as the other one pictured but if lifeproof ever really releases this I'm definitely getting it, as this fake one is still pretty decent.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Infuser86:
How is this any different than mine?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
If you look at the one pictured on the alibaba site, the back has a 3d like texture and doesn't say "lifeproof" like the back of yours does. I don't know what yours feels like but the one I have compared to my wife's actual Lifeproof is more plastic than the real one, the front cover on the real one has a distinct rubber layer around it. Mine is mainly plastic on front and back. I did some cleaning and whatever goo was on the camera lense has mostly come off and now pictures are clear. Overall it's not terrible and now I don't have to worry about being caught out in the rain. I will without a doubt buy a real Lifeproof when/if they ever come out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cougmeister:
Any update on yours Dark_Nightmar3?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dark_N1ghtmar3:
nope its on its way though i will post a status update when its here any1 got this plus a wireless charging kit want to know if any problems arise
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cuban11182:
Here is a image of mine. It makes the case pretty big, but I'm happy.

I don't think it is supposed to be like the actual life proof cases, as it's a fake. For what it is I'm happy.

I'm going to pull my phone from the case tonight and submerge it for 30 minutes to see if it a actually works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Infuser86:
I think our cases are alike except the back of the case. It should hold up during your water test. It is a very good case if you don't mind the next size. But hey, it is still thinner than the OB Defender case. Plus with the Seido Obex holster, it is a good fit for me. Only issue is getting used to the pillowed effect of the screen (small gap between phone screen and protector). You can press it against your chest while having the bottom flap open, to get the air out. However, it does eventually come back. Not a deal breaker however.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
I'm hoping whenever (if they ever do) the real Lifeproof comes out that pillow issue will be fixed. My wife's Iphone5 case is flat against the phone, no gap at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Infuser86:
I don't think they will be releasing a case for our phone, especially since the S4 is already out. Doubt they will release a product for a phone that is already a generation old. Could be wrong, but I doubt it lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
They still have a page on their website for it which is why I said that. I don't think they'd go through the effort of creating a web page and telling people they would make a case for the s3 and then not do it, but who knows. I think samsung screwed up by making the s4 look almost but not quite exactly the same as the s3, IMO it isn't different enough to look different so they should have done like apple and kept it the same so accessories could still fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmkindoll:
So does anybody know any way to make sure and get the cases that actually say "LifeProof" on the back? Looking for a white one BTW.

I have an iPhone 4S with a lifeproof case and the one that I have on my S3. The audio is MUCH clearer on my 4S than on my G3. More often then not though I use the speakerphone on my phone, or in my truck I have bluetooth.

On a side note I also have the pillow feeling on the front. I also have it on my 4S, but I use swype on my G3 so it doesn't bother me much. It also passed the 30 minute water submersion test.

I'll see what Lifeproof has to offer when they release (if they ever do, or if they do before the Motorola X comes out).

I'll be putting mine up on eBay by Saturday if anybody wants one faster and cheaper than the $40 eBay ones. I'm sticking with the obex, better screen protector with a slight loss of sound quality. These lifeproof cases are definitely better for sound quality.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrackerTeg:
Just ordered mine and it should be here next week. I've been waiting for the official one to never come out so this is a good alternative.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
With otterbox buying lifeproof I wouldn't be surprised if the case never gets released now since it's a direct competitor with the Armor. Too bad..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrackerTeg:
Well that blows.

On another note, those of you that got this already in hand, how does the overall size of the phone feel compared to the phone with the UAG Urban Armor case? That is, of course, if you have the UAG case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
Does this thing come with a holster by any chance?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dark_N1ghtmar3:
No

Size is actually not that bad easy to get in and out of pocket luv that it actually keeps dust out unlike all other cases
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrackerTeg:
How is it compared to the UAG case though? I realize it's going to be slightly longer at the bottom by the charging port but if overall it's the same size, I'm cool with it. Reason I ask is because of my iBolt which is already a slight squeeze.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
With pretty much any case that has a built in screen protector you should take off anything you have on the phone. That's a big reason why a lot of people complain about screen sensitivity, they don't follow the directions and leave their existing screen protector on.

It also collects some dust&crap trough the charging port which needs to be open for charging.
