    iPhone case

    Well my 'life proof case' barely made it past the 1 year warranty period and the rubber is perishing and falling off.

    Anyone know of another case worth looking at, not keen on spending a lot of money on another case that falls to bits, might be some cheaper options out there.

    It's an 'old school' iphone 5 as well
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    iPhone case

    Why not take it back? I recently had mine replaced after 6months, I've thrashed it (iPhone6) and the water proofing had given out.

    How long have you had it?
    I thought they had a life time warranty?

    I have killed 2 lifeproof cases and just gone and claimed for them through their website and they have turned up with brand new ones a couple of weeks later.
    Go lifeproof!

    My otter box on my 5s takes the knocks but they ain't waterproof like life proof. My rubber bits are weary now, but it's done maybe two years. I was thinking life proof next time. It appears the rubber/silicone isn't as hard wearing sometimes... But if their warranty is strong.....

    Buy a phone thats already waterproof? Xperia Z line is fully waterproof. Nexus 6 is water resistant. LG V10 isn't water proof but it's ruggerdised and drop proof which is almost more important.

    I brought one of these for my non waterproof LG G3. It seems to work and is under $20usd so worth checking out.

    Final update, new phone case turned up this morning.

    I only thought they had a year warranty, well that's what the 2 degrees shop told me. Thanks for the person who said to go direct to life proof, all it cost was 15 mins of time and a 4.95 U.S. shipping charge.

    See how long this one lasts
