The Part that covers the port where you plug in the battery charger cracked on both phones. And slowly kept getting worse till the broke off completely

I have one for the iPhone. Under normal use the corners tear off, the door for the port breaks. I have received two replacements free of charge (was informed that was my last). I have had excellent experiences with their customer service. But their name is a total misnomer; it is not life proof at all. The cases last no more than 5 or 6 months under normal use.

Maybe I am just not as hard on mine but I have had my lifeproof case for quite some time and it is still like new.

That's just it, I have not used it in any way that I would expect it to wear out as quickly as it did. The corners tore from just going in and out of my pocket.

I just came across this on Living Social, in the 2nd link that shows the details: says it floats, can still use headphones, and still use the touchscreen.

I ordered one on e bay for 30.00 only to fine out it was a Chinese knock off. Piece of crap. Then bought one from a store and couldn't be happier. I climb trees for a living and regularly destroy even military grade phones. It has lived up to it's reputation protecting my i phone.
