Is this the offical Lifeproof case or a knockoff off the real thing? Just curious.

It is the official Lifeproof brand. However, it is the French model so the case is too thin to use for my iPhone that was purchased in the US.

The real thing! If you have a white Iphone5 you'll love it! You will not regret this.

It's the real deal. I opted for the white case because it is the least expensive also.

It's real. One way to always know is if it is shipped and sold through amazon it's legit. If it's sold by a another company that's when you really want to question it.

Its the official, it has both serial numbers, came seal in a lifeproof box and was sold by amazon llc thats why i trusted it

it doesn't matter the company doesn't back their warranty of it being waterproof....I purchased mine from Verizon and jumped through all the hoops to register my case~ 11 months later I TRIED to submit a claim and Lifeproof cancelled my registration! didn't know they could do that but they said I wasn't able to prove my phone was actually in the case! BAD BAD BAD....not sure why they would think I would waste $80 and then not use their case for my phone.....they suck!

It appears to be, don't buy used and buy from lifeproof if in question. I hope this helps.

The case I received was the REAL, authentic Lifeproof case. It came in the original packaging and was brand new.

This is the original Fre' case for iPhone 5. It does not have the fingerprint thru scan for 5S.

This particular case is a counterfeit. I purchased and called lifeproof with a problem and they informed me of it. Over 600 1 star reviews agree.

My Lifeproof is a knockoff, but no, the male end of these charging cablesare the same length as original Apple and so do not complete the connection enough to charge. You have to remove the case to charge.I've been using one to keep an iPad plugged in on my desk mostof the time and it seems to be wearing better than the soft plasticcable coating on the original cable.

I guess looking at the previous answers I didn't realize the counterfeit are that close to the real deal? Whatever it is I got, it's exactly like my old Speck case, so it's a really close replica if it isn't real! Works, fits perfect, does the job.

Yes always call life proof and give them the serial numbers to check that it is real.I bought mine from amazon and it's a counterfeit

Please be aware that if you buy your LifeProof phone case here from Amazon.com, you will not be eligible for a LifeProof guarantee. The phone cases that are sold through Amazon are counterfeit. The only way to have an effective guarantee is to purchase through LifeProof directly. (I know this because I purchased one from Amazon and discovered that it was counterfeit one I contacted LifeProof about the case and the guarantee.) ** See the numerous reviews from others about these cases being counterfeit!

Idon't have an idea. I thought it was but I've never seen an original case so I can't say if it is or isnt. What I can say is that this doesnt feel as "high quality" as the products Google normally does.

No this case isn't but the lifeproof cases are more expensive. This case does great!

I just got off the phone from a representative at Lifeproof. They said that Amazon is not a official supplier of their product. The Amazon ad says by "lifeproof" sold and ship by Amazon. It is not official sold and shipped by Lifeproof. The only way you can tell that the product is really or not is the serial number. There are two serials numbers one located on the inside of the case and a second located on the back. I believe it has two pieces to the case. If someone that has ordered this product from Amazon would be willing to check the serial and call lifeproof for everyone well. That would sure make me Merry!

Have no idea what a lifeproof case might be. It certainly seems to be smaller/less bulky than some of the chargers I have seen.

It depends who your order from -- I got scammed with a knockoff and could not get my money back. I'd call the company first to make sure they are legitimate and have a warranty. I believe the supplier for my so called Lifeproof case was TrueAccessory. Don't use them. Amazon should ban them from the list.

I tested te case before putting it on my phone and a slight bit of water started to go through the case. It looks like a life proof case but, Iwould defiantly recommend you to buy a real lifeproof case...not this one!

it cant be trusted as a lifeproof case thats why its so cheap.. it more for accidental wetting .. but if you're like me and wanna go swimming with it and take under water pic/vids , dont .. i went to the beach with mines, came out the ocean and water soaked my phone in the case & now i have to get a new one..

it doesnt compare. At all. I have the "fre" lifeproof and it gives complete protection. I can use it underwater without being nervous about whether it will get water damage. I am not too worried when I drop my phone with a lifeproof. It offers great protection, but its not as slim as this one. Do not buy this one if youre looking for great protection. This one should be bought if you want slight protection with a much smaller feel like you barely recognize there is a case on it.

If you're paying anything less than $35, you can rest assured it's a cheap Chinese knock-off...and you probably don't want it. I have purchased both the cheap ones and the "real" Otterbox branded ones. If you need the protection, pay the extra and get the real deal. If you're simply looking for a cheap cover and don't care if it breaks, go cheap. Hope that helps.

Oh my dear! I would advise you to stay way from this product! I made the mistake of purchasing one for my iPhone 4S and it didn't fit like it was suppose to. There was an air gap between the touch screen and the phone. The performance of the case wasn't as expected. If you are looking for a life proof case, then I would advise to go with the real brand, after all you can get some sense of how you like the performance of it. I believe Radioshack has something going on where you can purchase the life proof case and in one year you can exchange it for another color if you like, without any fees or anything. Hope this helps.

The one I bought did not come in a real lifeproof box. I had 2 other people order them (daughter and husband) and they did come in a lifeproof box. Each case lasted about 2 weeks. Right out of the box it is hard to hear and the case pushes buttons. :(
