I have received my white Lifeproof iPhone 4 case today. Took a while as I ordered end of May 2011 and it arrived Mid-July 2011. The Lifeproof case included the following items:
- Lifeproof Case
- All-weather headphone adapters (free for pre-orders only)
- Microfiber cloth (use something better, this quality is cheap)
- Spare headphone jack screw
- Instructions
First impressions:
- Gosh this is flimsy!
- Very lightweight
- The material feels good in hand.
- Very beautiful packaging
- Fingerprint magnet
- Dust magnet
- Chick/Dude magnet (kidding)...
Lifeproof tests each and every case before they ship it out but recommends a 1 hour water test to make sure the case doesn't leak. I tested mine for 20 minutes and said "Screw it I'm putting the case on NOW". Points on putting on and taking off the case are...
- Snaps really tight
- It's tough to take apart
- Cleaning it is really difficult because you need to make sure the phone and case surface is thoroughly wiped, dry and has no bodily fluids/oils.
- Impossible to get it totally dust free.
- Rainbow effects were present but making sure you wipe it with a good microfiber that absorbs oil will minimize the rainbow effects. Mine appears only 5% of the time and overall it is bearable.
Immediately after putting on the case I tested it by making this video of my fishpond.
After using it a while here is my quick first impression of my Lifeproof iPhone
- FREEDOM!
- It feels solid in the hand.
- Having a white case is as close to getting a white iPhone without paying a bomb
- No worries anymore (my sisters are fond of throwing water balloons at me at the most unsuspecting moments)
- Rainbow effects are very minimum and bearable.
- It does add some considerable width. One handed operations will be a little tougher.
- The case reverberates when the speaker is active (ie. playing songs)... this means that sometimes you can hear flapping distortions, etc.
- The screen takes some getting used to due to the small air gap between the protector and the iphone screen. However the gap should reduce in approx 1-2 weeks as per reports from Lifeproof and other case users.
In summary, if you don't want to worry about getting wet in the pond, the rain, the beach, etc. you wanna do your stuff knowing your iPhone is fine and taken care well of? This is the case for you.
You can pre-order yours from www.lifeproof.com

After months of searching I have finally found the ULTIMATE SOLUTION to hacking the unhackable N82 - HelloOX 1.03 ! Why? Because it's simple to use. First you download HelloOX, then you will have to sign the application (see link below) and install it to your phone and run it. Your phone will be hacked in less than 3 minutes!
Here are the links you will find most useful:
P.S.
A common issue is that halfway through installation, the screen will be stuck on the "Patching" stage. All you have to do is close the application and start it again, it will continue where it left off.
Good luck!

GDC 2009 saw the release of the blue tinted Xbox 360. In addition to the elegant black and blue tint finish and its unique style, it has a whopping 1GB of RAM. The catch? This piece of hardware is only for game developers!

According to the review from Gamespot, here's a brief summary of the highly anticpated Resident Evil 5:
The Good =D
- Beautifully detailed graphics and character animations
- Having a partner enhances the fun and excitement while adding tension
- Real-time menu system keeps you immersed
- Plenty to do once you've beated it
- Frustrating hurdles to leap when joining an online game
- Slow, deliberate movement and gunplay may not appeal to everyone
- Can't swap weapons with a human teammate online.
