Just got an email from lifeproof.com, they have verified that my lifeproof cover purchased from http://www.microgadgets.co.za/ is a counterfeit.

If you have a lifeproof cover for an iphone 5 there are a few simple things to look out for:

You will find people cannot hear you when you speak into the phone mic,

The touch screen becomes non responsive once you dial a number,

the shape of the camera lens is slightly different,

The serial number in the back case is not correct,

there is no serial number in the front cover,

the inside of the black cover is not black,

The scary thing is everything else including the packaging looks identical, there are bar codes, scan code, the spelling is correct, the pics are embossed, you will not even know you have a counterfeit unless you check all these things and even the things I have listed work I would send the serial numbers to lifeproof just to verify.
