Lifeproof iphone 4 waterproof protection test (2nd gen.)

Update: the Lifeproof shell is available
in white hereet
in black there

You remember that we have you

Most recently presented the liquipel, a product that aims to make
Your iPhonewater resistant without having to add a
hull.

However, this technique will not be available quickly for our
iPhone and this reminded me of the shellLifeproofthat I had
tested in this
billetAnd for which, I was rightly hard enough.

Having for some time the hull
Generation 2 lifeproofand this time appreciated this version
In the December rain, I offer you a new full test of this V2
Compatible with the iPhone 4 and (under certain conditions) with the iPhone
4s:

I will not come back to the complete, very well done packaging that will protect
the shell during its transport.

Compared to generation 1, the Gen 2 shell has also 2 small lugs in
even plastic as the shell above and below the vibrating buttons and
volume, which brings additional protection for these buttons.

The shell is still so fine and light, which is clearly a good
point, especially for a waterproof shell.

Once the iPhone is in the shell, it is safe from everything, dust, water,
mud and even shocks (except if your screen falls on a corner), which can
prove to be of great use if you plan to take your iPhone to the sea, to
snow, use it in very dusty places (construction, work
audiences for example) or simply use it in the rain.

This time, the shell was perfectly waterproof (my gen. 1 had to
have a defect) even after several montages-demaggers.

Touching the touch screen is certainly a little different because it is necessary
press a little but, frankly, nothing very dramatic, we get used to
Quite quickly.

The shell being quite fine, the grip is good but I must
recognize thatIt is not always easy to browse the entire
the screenwith one hand and I understand better why Apple does not
Does not want to exceed 4 inches for the screen of his iPhone.

The sound is slightly felted and it is quite logical with the protections
waterproof but you can always open the inferior dock part (to be avoided
In wet or dusty environment 😉) to find better sound.
Please note, during telephone conversations, the interlocutor does not have a
Perfect reception, you will have to plan the free hand kit under penalty of no longer
bes called 😉.

The Lifeproof shell is now offered in4
colors:Noir,Blanc,
VioletetRose, which does not spoil anything.

As I told you in the preamble, the shell is compatible with the iPhone
4 and under certain conditions with the iPhone 4S.

Indeed, as we told youin this post,
Apple moved the luminosity sensor of the iPhone 4S of a few millimeters
on the left.

If the iPhone 4S returns without problem in the shell, the black shells and
Violets (white and pink apparently do not cause concerns)
Cover the sensor part which is still lacking in light.

To counter this concern, Lifeproof offers either to scratch the interior of
painted plastic (solution that I will avoid to keep the design and avoid
pierce protection), either to remove the automatic luminosity adjustment
of your screen so to adjust it manually.

Now, as this photo shows, Lifeproof should offer fairly
Quickly a generation 3 that will solve this little problem.

I did not make a video but you can find it on thePartie Media du Site De LifeProof.

In the end, if you want to protect your iPhone in all circumstances or
Simply on the occasion of a vacation (snow, sea), the improved lifeproof shell
(The first was not good at all) will do a very good job. It allows
Film and photograph underwater with very good quality, for that,
the touch screen not being functional underwater, it will be necessary to use the
Volume button to trigger and stop the shots. But not
concern, it is accessible without problem!

You can find it at the cost of55 to 70 euros aroundon
the
Amazon.co.uk site for example

The season is approaching, you have planned to go skiing with a case in
particular for the iPhone?
