Lifeproof case

Just got myself a new iPhone 6s Plus and was looking for a good source for a Lifeproof case. There on EBay at £37. Anybody know of better source.
Cheers

I use a lifeproof nuud with an Anker glass screen protector. Works perfectly, water proof, been dropped loads of times. Bought mine from Amazon. As Mick says there are a lot of snide ones around.

I had mine in my pocket today, I crawled in to position to shoot a stag and felt a crunch in my pocket.

The result...

I would buy direct from Lifeproof. There are loads of convincing fakes out there, which may or may not actually protect your phone, and I don't think the saving is worth it.

You should be OK buying from Amazon I suppose, but make sure it's direct from Amazon and not from a "marketplace" seller.

I buy from Lifeproof from Amazon Warehouse (returns etc), they are always fine although packaging mat be tatty.

I bought an iPhone holder to attach to the console on the boat - Amazon Warehousr deal - and the sticky pad was missing. I emailed Lifeproof and they sent a brand new unit!

Also, Black Friday is not too far away and they usually offer good deals
