Share Your Innovations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got a new phone and a life proof case, for Christmas. It still wasn't Scott proof. Now if I ever get to go fishing again, I won't have to worry about the GPS location of the last place I saw it.

I was the first to introduce the LifeProof case to this forum. It served well... until it didn't. My iPhone 4 survived everything that I could throw at it in its LifeProof case until I purposely took it underwater to use as a camera in Hawaii.

Apparently these cases have a lifespan and mine had reached the end. The case had developed a small crack which quickly allowed water to drown my phone. LifeProof support told me that this was my fault because I did not check the case ahead of time to determine if there were any leaks. How does one do that?

I used the case in one of the ways that LifeProof promotes in their advertising. If a product is hyped for a particular application but fails when used for that application, the product is not worthy of consideration.

Put me down as no longer being a LifeProof fan.

All that time and effort you put into promoting this product and now its defective?. Glad I didn't bite!. To test case just submerge in water WITHOUT the phone inside............

I still have mine, and im still a happy lifeproof user. Ive even bought a 5s case for my new phone. Nothing is 100 % going to protect your phone, it still does a good job though.

Good to see your back!

I got the lifeproof case so I could take and send pics on the water. I didn't like the zip-lock baggy solution that I was using. I usually fish with my boys and the wife enjoys seeing them and their fish. I just needed to keep my phone from sinking. I will from time to time check to see if it has cracked. Thanks for that.
