Lifeproof iphone 5 fix?

Q:

Hi, I was watching reviews on the lifeproof case and heard of problems. Then I heard that Lifeproof made a new gen on the case. The problems I heard of were the rainbow effect, the big gap between screen and plastic, and the sound issues. Are these fixed?

Hi!
I just bought my second LifeProof. This new one has the plastic screw that protects the earphones jack attached to the cover, avoiding it to fall and get lost when you remove it tomuse the earphones.
I did not have any problem with gap between screen and plastic. It fits perfectly. Never experienced the rainbow effect either. Tehre are some sound issues, though. It is now much better that the former model I had, but, yes, the cover makes the musics sound lower. But there is no bigger issues with the speaker mode.

I've never had any problems with any of the LifeProof cases. I recently bought one for my new iPhone 5s with the fingerprint option and it's great. I used to have one for an iPhone 4s and after 2.5 years it is still good as new to the point where I passed it on to my son. BTW: I have never heard of any issues with the LifeProof cases.

Best to have birth screens clean with a non static cloth before you put on the case to prevent the rainbow effect. No sound distortion for me.

Compatibility on iPhone 5S

Q:

Is this the life proof case compatibile with the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S? The hole for the flash in the back of the case is also different between the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Is this the correct case and the pictures shown are incorrect or is this not the exclusive Lifeproof iPhone 5S case?

A:

Yes the case is compatible with the finger print scanner. I did find that I had to position my finger more precisely once the case was on. I still estimate a 25% reduction in the finger print scanner functionality with the case on. The flash is perfectly contained in the round hole of the case, and it works perfectly on my 5s.

A:

I was just at Best Buy today and asked 2 associates your exact questions. They both said “Buy the Lifeproof fre or Lifeproof nuud for the 5s specifically!" If it does not say 5s, it will not fit because of the flash opening especially. It will say 5 or 5s on the front of the box. Buy accordingly. Best Buy had no Lifeproof or Otterbox 5s cases in stock. Some people on line will tell you either fits the 5s…they don't.
