Frequently Asked Questions
Case Questions
When will you release a new case for my device?
Unfortunately, LifeProof is not able to release product launch dates or timelines to customers. If you hear or see launch/shipping dates regarding a new product from somewhere other than lifeproof.com, companies outside LifeProof have likely determined those dates. If you have questions regarding these dates, please contact that company directly.
Are your cases compatible with other products like the Apple bumpers, iPad Smart Cover or the ZAGG InvisibleShield?
Our cases are precision-fit to the device. Any other products that change the dimensions of the device are not compatible with our cases.
How do I clean my LifeProof case?
Your case can generally be cleaned with mild soap and water, then air dried or dried lightly with a paper towel.
Are LifeProof cases intrinsically safe?
Because LifeProof cases are designed to work with electronic devices, they are not intrinsically safe. There are a wide variety of devices on the market so to determine if your device and the any case together is intrinsically safe it would need to be tested by a certified testing lab.
Warranty Questions
How long is my LifeProof product under warranty and what’s covered?
Otter Products, LLC and its affiliated companies worldwide (“LifeProof”) warrants LifeProof products against defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year from the original date of purchase of the product by a consumer (the “Warranty Period”). You can read more on our warranty here.
I have sent in the requested information on my warranty claim. When will I receive my replacement?
You should receive an update on your claim within 72 hours of sending in the required information, followed by a tracking number when the replacement ships. If more than 72 hours have passed, please contact customer service for assistance.
How may I receive a warranty replacement if I purchased my case at a retail store?
If you purchased your LifeProof case directly from a retail location, we encourage you to first contact that retailer for immediate warranty replacement assistance. They will have your customer record and order information and may be able to address your needs of a replacement that same day. If not, please contact our customer service for assistance
Order/Return Questions
My order wouldn't process, but I have multiple charges on my credit card. Why is this?
When you place an order on lifeproof.asia, we must contact your credit card's bank to ensure that your credit card has a valid number. This is done via a full authorization for the amount of the purchase. While it may seem as though you have multiple charges on your credit card, these are not charges. They are authorizations that will drop off of your statement (if your order did not go through) typically within 2 – 3 business days. We only charge a credit or debit card after an order has shipped, and we only charge the card once. If these authorizations are causing problems, you can simply call your bank to get them removed. If you experience further problems, please contact our customer service team and we would be happy to help in any way possible.
My order does not seem to be processing, what should I do?
We’re sorry that you’re experiencing unexpected problems with your order being processed. Please see below for a list of possible reasons as to why your order is not processing, please check the following:
- That the billing address on the order does not matches the billing address that the card statement is registered to.
- That there are the correct available funds in the account used to make the purchase.
- That the SSC number has been entered correctly - for most credit/debit cards, this will be the three-digit number found on the back of your card.
- That the credit/debit card number or expiration date has been entered correctly.
My order says that one or more of the items I ordered are currently on backorder. What does this mean for my order?
If one or more of the items in your order is out of stock, we will wait until all items are available before we ship your order (applicable to both domestic and international orders). Once your order ships, you will receive tracking information shortly thereafter. If for any reason you do not, please get in touch with our customer service team.
Can I modify my order after I have already submitted it online?
If you've placed an order online please make sure to review your order carefully before purchasing. If you find any errors, please contact us immediately. Due to our automated system, orders are automatically submitted to our fulfillment department as soon as they are submitted online. Please understand that we will not be able to modify your order but will instead need to cancel the existing order and place a new order.
What is your return policy?
We will accept returns within 30 days of the original purchase only if the product was purchased directly from lifeproof.asia. You can read more on returns here.
