A:AnswerI had the same thing happen to mine last week. Contact Life Proof directly and they will honor their warranty. You went with Life Proof for a reason, use their services and it will work out fine!! Getting a new one in the mail as I type, should be here in 48 hrs. Life Proof is the ONLY way to go for cases!!
