Someone please take a detailed picture of the lifeproof case bottom usb port opening next to a ruler. I would like to know how big the opening and if it will accomodate the MHL connector. thnx.mmuch appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
You could email Lifeproof with your question.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Hmm, good suggestion. I will do that right now.. In the meantime, much appreciated if anyone can post a so said pic. Thanx
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:

So....does the hard plastic have the ability to scratch the phone or is there some type of rubber material to protect it from the hard plastic??

And...they need some damn colors!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
I'm waiting for video to finish uploading i recorded quick video testing the audio/speaker will post soon!

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Thanks! does def help. I am considering getting the real lifeproof but would like to know more about the port opening. As you can see, the MHL connector (as well as several of the bigger microusb connectors I have) won't fit my knockoff opening. A rep from lifeproof replied on email that MHL connector won't fit the lifeproof case opening either but just want to be sure.

Was wondering if you can take pics like what I have below with my lifeproof knockoff. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CC268:
I am just worried about the hard plastic scratching the phone. I know the Otterbox Defender does more damage than good because of that stupid hard plastic inner liner...ends up scratching the side of your phone. I am very anal about that haha
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
I guess if the phone sit tight within the case without any motion within the case, then there shouldnt be any scratching. As far as hard plastic material goes, I hope that at least there is also some softer materials outside to absorb impact force also...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
Will do

Well I just got my life proof nuud today and wondering if anyone is having issues with their proximity sensor when in a phone call. As soon as I placed a call the screen went straight black. I originally had the screen protector off thought that was the problem. So I took it off and now it's a little better but now the screen just stays black during a call now when I take it away from my face.

I'm also thinking the sensitivity is too high.

Let me know if there is anything anyone as got a work around it or at least direct me to where I can edit something in the phone thanks. Btw I'm running Task AOKP 4.3 just in case if it's something to do with it.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TCM55:
How secure does the headphone port insert feel? Is it something that could easily be knocked off in the water?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
seems legit. I"ll know more soon going on vacation next week be at beach will test more then
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Thanks. Pic def shows the width of the opening. Any chance you can take a similar pic also with ruler but with the phone maybe on top of a few books to let the open cover hangs down all the way to better show the height of the opening as the cover partially obscure the inferior aspect of the opening in this pic? Thnx so much again.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
Will do homie

Eh man I can do even better I have a MHL cable if find I see if fits ;) either one ill do tho
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Cool. Thx much!1
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
How's the sensitivity of the buttons with the fre and how's the built in screen protector with the screen? Is it pretty flush and unnoticeable like with the iPhone 5 fre?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
I c you are considering one too :). This knockoff thing does kinda work so and so for now but I am considering getting the fre lifeproof after some more saving and knowing more about it. Jacob2kD has graciously posted a few pics and maybe a few more detailing the bottom port opening. the knockoff bottom port opening is a lil small IMO on the knockoff. This would make it easier to make waterproof but does restrict the type of connectors you can connect. Hoping the real one has bigger opening.

As far as the screen protector on fre goes, I expected nothing less than perfect flush fit given the cost. I do notice my txting accuracy and speed decrease because of the knockoff screen protector not completely flushed.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Yeah to be completely honest the knockoff is starting to tick me off with the screen protector. I'm $15 away from saving for the fre. My frustration keeps mounting as I screw up with Swift key or take 7 times hitting the back button before it will register. If it weren't for my 6 and 3 year old i would probably take it off. Stealing mom's phone is still a fun game.

Wish I could hear from someone that has/had the iPhone fre and s4 fre to compare.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
In meantime, to help get the screen protector to be more flushed, use a lil help from air pressure. Loosen top screw cap, then flatten out the screen protector as much as y can by evenly pushing down on pillow or belly, then tighten cap. Helps a lil
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
You are a very wise person :) that helped a lot thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] afrojoc:
Would you still recommend this case for the price and the slight modification?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Unfortunately the knockoff top cap is only watertight not airtight so air gets back in after a while and screen protector back to what it was not too flushed. oh well, $15 can only get you so much..... lifeproof will completely buy me if i can know for certain that the port opening is big enough for more than just the default samsung usb plug.

I still think that if you can afford the real thing or save up to get the real thing probably worth it long run. Things that bother me with regard to the knockoff:

1. Annoying echo other party hears if i put them on speakerphone. using the phone normally or with bluetooth headset fine. speakerphone no go.

2. screen protector not flushed against the screen so have to use more pressure touch. lose considerable speed and accuracy txting.

3. I can't prove this yet but my gut feeling is that with the lifeproof case, your phone temperature will be more even with ambient temperature, better ventilated. Mine is showing constant 85+ F with weather station with this knockoff case. I read somewhere that hotter temp means your batt doesn't last as long per charge as well as can also possibly acccelerate batt aging.

4. possibly better impact protection with real case. knockoff case appears to be made of harder plastics without a lot of softer rubber compound on the side so may transmit more impact force, (but i still do think that knockoff probably can protect from 6 ft, but the case might be more damaged.)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Unfortunately it's not airtight so the fix only works for like a half hour.

If you can afford the real thing buy the real thing. I kept my iPhone 5 in one from the second I unboxed it last November and it kept it mint.

For those like me where $14 is doable but $80 is gonna take some time to save, it is manageble.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TCM55:
Awesome, I'm looking forward to that feedback. I've used the lifeproof before on my friend's iphone 5, but that had a screw in headphone cap and was very snug.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Muraki:
I have the Lifeproof Nuud for my galaxy s4. So far I love it. At first I thought there was an echo during phone calls, but I realized it was because my sound is modified/hacked and I had it up to loud. The case feels great and doesn't make the phone to much larger. To open the case all that is required is a penny to break the seal. What I was really happy about was the fact that it came wit a screen protector which you have to put on after the case was installed. The screen protector is clear as can be, easy to install without bubbles (as long as there is no dirt underneath) if you get dirt under neath, use some clear tape to unstick it from the screen protector. So all in all this case does provide all around protection for the phone. Also the USB port so far works with all my Motorola, Samsung Micro USB cords. The amazon brand USB cord is to large to be used with the case. For those concerned about the headphone jack, from what I have seen I would prefer the screw on, the one on the S4 just pulls in and out and is attached to the case. It works but I'd feel safer it it were a screw on still. If pictures are wanted, just PM me and I will post some up in the thread.

I go fishing in a river and always end up soaked, so I was never able to take my phone with me until now. (I also purchased the 1 year of extra coverage for the phone ($10))

Proximity sensor

I am having the proximity sensor issue with my nuud as well. If I take the case off the sensor works fine. You can download Android Sensor Box from the market and check to see if your sensor is registering. If it's reporting 0cm then it's being triggered by the case. I've already contacted lifeproof about that and the terrible sound quality during phone calls. Seems like the earpiece speaker is causing the membrane protecting the speaker to act as a speaker itself and vibrate. The louder the volume the more intense the "buzzing" noise. I've found that opening the headphone port helps, but opening the bottom seems to produce a little better result. After receiving my replacement case today, which by the way was a full retail box with everything in it (they told me over the phone they were replacing only the top component of the case), I ran it through all the tests and got all the same results. Sensor still tripped and sound still buzzing. My buddy got the same case and his sensor works fine, so I'm assuming the sensor in the phone is set off-center enough for the case to trigger it. At any rate I'm just going to deal with it and hope that the sound gets better after some use. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildpig1234:
Hmm, i wonder if fre also have proximity sensor problem? I prob would get the fre since i want that extra protection with having another layer over the screen. Not quite comfortable with myself of hving only a seal around the screen border either... You do say that the amazon brand usb connector is a lil too large? that prob means that the mhl connector is prob not going to fit thr the bottom opening then i guess :(.... I understand that you can't have the opening too big since you have to cover it and make sure it's watertight. But was just hoping....

Yes, if there's anything i like about the knockoff case, it's that the top headphone jack cover is screw on and not just snap in.... For me the headphone jack opening should be more securely screwed in. I actually use my stereo bluetooth headset much more than the actual jack though. I would only ever use the jack when say i am in bed and want to listen to the music for a long time and don't want to worry about BT headset running out of battery. When working out I use my BT headset for music...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
I Havn't had a issue with the proximity sensor i have the lifeproof fre
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lordcheeto03:
Just comparing the specs, it appears that the OtterBox Defender is negligibly smaller than the frē; but does anyone have first-hand experience with how noticeable this difference is in real-life use?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pyro43284:
To me the fre feels smaller.. In comparison to the defender but I do enjoy the grippy feel of the defender the fee Fe's great in the hand but can feel kinda slick on the back but decent grip on the sides I thought the fee was was smaller then the defender until you said something grabbed mine and its not very much of a difference
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Just bit the bullet and ordered lifeproof fre. I can't deal with the eBay knockoff anymore. I'm torn between selling it or taking it out back and smashing it Office Space style. Hoping the ship time is fast for lifeproof!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bx10r:
I just bought the fre for my new s4. had it for my s3 and loved it. Has anyone had issues with the headphone adapter thats included with it? My phone wont recognize a headphone when used. I try another headphone adapter and it does. Lifeproof is sending me another one to see if its fsulty but was wonderig if anyone had issues with theirs
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
I had issues with the fre headphone adaptor for iPhone 5. They determined it to be faulty and replaced free of charge. Didn't seem to be widespread. Mine would stop playing through headphones if I moved the adaptor in the slightest. Had to be perfectly still and had to be in the perfect position.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Those of you that ordered a lifeproof, how fast was your shipping? Its maddening that they don't offer tracking on a $80 case, but you'd think with ups it would be within a week.

Also wondering where they are shipping from in the US.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bx10r:
Didnt order mine online but i know they ship from cali. My 2 local bestbuys had both the fre and nuud. I went with the fre. As for tracking..im waitin on a new headphone adapter and was sent a tracking # so i would call them for yours.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Thanks.. I got tracking. Ordered the 29th shipped 30th and was supposed to be delivered today but lost tracking 2 hours away 3 days ago when UPS handed it over to USPS. :( I don't know how it is this difficult, California to southern Oregon isn't a huge distance.

Just ordered a nuud.

Just ordered a nuud, wondering how does it behave if you already have a screen protector on? Does it still seal?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
Im wondering the same thing if anyone could chime in it would be great :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pyro43284:
From what I've been told you can't because it won't seal properly somehow best buy and life proof were against it..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nickp27:
Solved

I can confirm that the nuud comes with a screen protector that fits and it would be simply enough to alter any other screen protector to the same size with very minimal effort if you wanted to replace it ever.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
Yeah they were just covering their ass. I was just wondering if anyone tried it because it would be a shame to take off my invisible shield when there's nothing wrong with it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trannhattan:
bivc01 in this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2480488&page=2 confirmed it is okay to keep the the glass screen protector but hasn't tried if it's still waterproof... I hope it is
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Has anyone had any echoing issues on your case? Hubby s spontaneously started today, was fine yesterday. Unusable. I know I've seen hacks for the 5 version to fix the echo but not sure about the galaxy version. :/
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Quentin.Sheley:
I had that issue today because yesterday I got a carbon fiber ghost armor cover installed on my phone and when the guy did he covered the mic on the phone. Once I removed the small bit covering my mic it fixed it.

I'm using the nüüd case
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lordcheeto03:
Just an old tip that everyone who has used a case with a built-in screen protector should already know; if you get tired of having the screen protector look sloppy because it adheres to the screen in some places but not others... take the phone out, put a very light dusting of baby powder on the screen before applying the case. I shake the bottle of baby powder, open the lid, and hold the phone (screen down) above the bottle and squeeze. Once should be enough. All you need is a little puff. You can't even tell it's on there once it's in the case and it doesn't get those splotches in it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Vegito168:
Awesome! :good: Been searching and searching to see if anyone had come up with any sort of solution to stop it from adhering to the phone's glass screen, but didn't want to comment quite yet. Its so annoying and takes away from the sexiness of my Lifeproofed S4 lol. Gonna try it out shortly. Thanks for the tip lordcheeto03.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
My nuud showed up in the mail today. Still debating on trying to keep my screen protector on and using it. I don't want to take the invisible shield off for a crappy one. They look the same thickness but the home button is cutout differently
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TRoN_1:
Picked up a Lifeproof nuud. When on speakerphone callers tell me there is a serious echo. On my end it sounds fine. I wonder what causes the echo. Maybe the Fre is better...oh well, back to BestBuy(they finally got them here in Canada)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
I should be getting the fre as a replacement in a few days I'm hoping it does better then the nuud I can even talk on the phone with the nuud no one can hear me
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TRoN_1:
Got the Fre from BestBuy, will test and post back tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] malicenfz:
Please do, I just ordered one on Amazon and wanting a real user review of it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TRoN_1:
Well after one day of use I can say that the Fre seems to be better than the nuud. There is less echo on the other end of the call but still there. I was told by test caller that the echo significantly reduced when I lowered the speaker volume from about 60% to 30%. The caller can hear me well whether I am on speaker or not. All the sensors seem to be functioning properly and are not obscured by the case. I did not perform a water submersion test but I am confident the case will protect my phone.

The nuud at BestBuy was $90(ridiculous). The Fre was $57(much better deal). On Lifeproof's site they sell the nuud for $89 US and the Fre for $79 US.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
Yeah I switched from the nuud to the fre also and it is much better quality everything works I was having all sorts of problems with the nuud. Only thing I don't like is how the screen protecter looks all fuzzy.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] inkdup102586:
I have the fre, speaker seems to seem a little buzzy sounding when I was on it today. Also, some places charge more for cases because they automatically add Lifeproofs protection plan
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CC268:
Lol this is so weird...I bought both the fre and nuud today and I like the nuud so much better. The fre had really crappy sound quality on my end and minor echoing, but not too bad. The fre screen protector was constantly sticking to my Ghost Armor screen protector and I did not want to lose that. The nuud has everything working and it works with my Ghost Armor screen protector. I think both are good cases, but the nuud was better in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] resurektz:
lol no one could here my with my nuud. So I got rid of it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CC268:
man there must be some bad batches or maybe I got the newest batch, but the nuud let me talk to everyone crystal clear...they couldn't even tell I had the case on...with the fre they could because of the echo. Tested the case a little bit too by running my phone under water with it and it was all good!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] inkdup102586:
I just have a problem trusting the nuud. Not getting how it keeps everything out
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Bradh024:
I bought the nuud case for my phone. I returned the first case because it failed the water test and person on the other end of a call couldnt hear me. But since I got a new one, no problems what so ever. I just wish they would release a belt clip for it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] inkdup102586:
I keep getting told that the person on the other end cannot hear me. Should I return the case or is this normal?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CC268:
I have tested mine and it works great. Personally, because the case is so damn expensive I am only going to use it when I fish, snowboard, go to the dunes, etc...I would like to keep it in best shape possible for as long as possible
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] inkdup102586:
I went to Verizon today to ask them what they think about the issue I have with people not being able to hear me through my lifeproof case. His solution was to tell me to open my charger port. I said that defeats the purpose. So I just decided to return it.
