Lifeproof Case for Galaxy S4
Lifeproof has announced two cases for for the GS4 - the nuud and the fre. I have been hoping that there would be enough market to bring a quality waterproof case from a major player. I'll let y'all know when it comes out for good.

Re: Lifeproof Case for Galaxy S4
I guess I am confused. The nuud has an open screen but the fre suggests that it has a completely protected screen. Am I missing something?

Then it's the nuud I don't like. But one thing is for sure the one without screen protection is the one I don't like and it ask you not to use one because it will not be waterproof if you do.

Otterbox armor. Waterproof to 6.6 feet. Drop proof from 10 feet. And it can withstand 2 tons of crushing force. Love it

There are no plans to make by the beaver box an Armor series case for any new phones (so no GS4 case.)

What do you mean no new phones? They make it for the new iPhone.Shorewalker wrote:There are no plans to make by the beaver box an Armor series case for any new phones (so no GS4 case.)

Re: Lifeproof Case for Galaxy S4
The official line from Otterbox (most easily seen on their Facebook site and in response to people asking for an Armor series case for the Samsung Galaxy S 4) is that they are no plans to release any new cases in the Armor Series lineup. In the initial product launch for the Armor series cases, there were three cases to fit the iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and Samsung GS3. To date those three cases are still the only cases that they offer in the Armor line. This in my mind's logic means one of two things.
1.They are making new Armor Cases but want to keep their plans private and generate buzz just prior to launch.
2. They aren't making any additional Armor cases for new phones. This isn't as crazy as it seems at first. In May about the same time they launched the Armor series, Otterbox bought Lifeproof. It may be that Otterbox has decided to let Lifeproof run with Waterproof cases and not "waste" company resources and develop competing product lines.
Other conspiracy theories I have on this. Otterbox bought Lifeproof for some patent that was required to even release the Armor series. Or the Armor series may now be reworked to better facilitate some new technology based on a Lifeproof process or patent.
Regardless, now Lifeproof = Otterbox and we will see where that goes.
Sidenote: The Lifeproof case for GS4 is available for sale now from the Lifeproof webpage.
