Did your LifeProof phone mount break? Despite the name, LifeProof does not actually have lifetime warranties on any of their products. You might have a warranty claim available if something went wrong in the manufacturing process, so you might be able to get a new mount, or your old one fixed for free. This wikiHow article teaches you about the LifeProof warranty that comes with every LifeProof product.

    • You don't need to register the product for the warranty but keep the receipt on hand so you have it for any future claims.
    • This warranty does not cover resold items. For example, if you purchase a phone case from LifeProof.com and decide to sell it within 3 months of the original purchase, the warranty does not cover the second owner.
