What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Lifeproof

It's time again for another 'WITBUM' aka What's in The Based Update's Mailbox! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its a brand new gadget? Today we got a package from my good friends over at Lifeproof! Have you always wanted your phone to go underwater or just simply be waterproof? Well now you can get it, it works and we will show you all the specs! Check it out below.

Packaging: Packaging in this case is a little different because what we have is what you can pick up at your local electronic store. Forget UPS, USPS and FedEx lets look at the retail packaging. The Lifeproof Nuud case comes enclosed in plastic along with a Microfiber Cloth for cleaning, 1 Wheaterproof headphone adapter which we will get to later, a test unit and scratch protector. Everything is secure and nothing is out of place, very professional. Let's open this bad boy up, see how it works and get it into action.

Design: The design of the Lifeproof Nuud Case get's 10's across the board. First the case, as you know is water proof, dirt proof, snow proof and shock proof. Even more their screenless technology is the first of its kind. By forming a waterproof seal to the touchscreen, Nuud protects the iPhone 5 while leaving the screen open for direct touch. Yes, you can touch the touchscreen! You still get all the use out of your camera, microphones speaker, controls and as you know, the touchscreen. What is even more impressive is how light and thin this case is while still being able to provide what it does.

First thing is first, you really don't want to just put the case on your phone and drop it in the water.... what if it doesn't work!!?? Lifeproof has a solution for that! Inside like we mentioned above is the test case. Before you put your phone in the case you stick this test iPhone looking plastic piece in there and submerge it underwater for 30 minutes. When you take it out, open it up and see if there is water it in. If there isn't any mositure then you are ready to go. Ours was ready to go, so we were ready! Second thing that came to mind is how would I use the headphones on my phone with a thicker case like this. Well Lifeproof has a solution for that as well. As listed above, included in your package is a Wheaterproof Headphone adapted which fits into your case and allows you to enjoy your music without any problems.

Quality: The quality from Lifeproof exceeds all my expectations. I have been using my phone in this case for a few weeks and I can't seem to find a problem! I have used it underwater countless times, I have dropped it (accidentally) once from probably 5 feet off the ground, used it in the shower and there hasn't been any issues. My iPhone is perfectly in tact and dry like it is supposed to be. Everyone is impressed by the case and a bunch of people I know have purchased their own.

The cool thing about this case is that it is not gender specific nor age specific because everyone wants one for their own reason. Any pre-teen, teenager or young adult with this phone wants to jump in the pool with it to take pictures and videos to really spice up their social media game. Who doesn't want to take underwater pictures with your phone? Further to point, my cousin learned how to swim without his floaties for the very first time and we were able to capture it all under water. His first time swimming was shared with the family from here across the United States for everyone to see on Facebook. Everyone was shocked and amazed that they were able to see underwater footage from an iPhone. Grandparents, aunts and uncles all want this case so they can capture moments like that which were not possible before. View some footage via Instagram HERE and HERE.

Is it Approved? Yes of course! This case is amazing! Go get yourself a case for your phone! The options they have available are the iPhone5, iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, iPad's, iPad Mini and the Galaxy SIII. This is something that is worth the money and more. You know you want to take pictures underwater and jump in the pool with it while your friends and family are watching, they will all be shocked. 5 Stars, 10/10, two thumbs up!
