First trial of the Lifeproof iPhone 4 Case at the pool. Works perfectly, no sign of any water seepage. Disappointed that the touchscreen function does not work underwater due to the layer of water which unable to transmit the signal from my finger. It works normally once out of water. All other physical buttons such as Home-screen, Volume adjust, Ring/Silent and Sleep/Wake buttons are fully functional. Thus, photo-taking in underwater is only available with release of iOS 5. Alternatively, screen shots from the recorded videos are equally clear.Amazingly, the casing allows sound to be transmitted out even underwater, due to its vibration feature. Now, you can enjoy your movies and songs in the water without a waterproof earphone.
(adapter allows use of waterproof headphones underwater too)
In addition, when video recording, the microphone records sound too. So, if you are able to, you can sing and record your song in the water! Perhaps I will try out with the fishes to see if they make noise. Will update.
PS: Switch to 720p video for the closest actual quality
Interested to own one?
