Fitting the 5S into a 5 Otterbox Armor Series

In Acapulco we went thru hard times whit storm "Manuel" and hurricane "Ingrid".
My iPhone 4s makes a good work whit a Defender case and survive the dust and the water. 

But when I bought the iPhone 5S i knew I need more protection. 

The iPhone 5 and the 5S hace exactly the same sizes.  
So when I bought the iPhone 5S run to buy the Otterbox Armor Series case. 




I do the half hour test (you have to sink the cover in water for 30 minutes to probe it doesn't have issues and water doesn't get inside the case. After three times very little water (in the first time just drops) got into the case.

Fitting the 5S was not so easy like in the video. Maybe it was my fear to damage the iPhone.  Anyway I do it. 

When I snap the back cover I note why some drops of water come in in the case:  Two little plastic pieces from the back cover where damaged (aaaarg!) anyway the case close very well, and Im not going to war or pass by another hurricane (not at the moment). 

The Otterbox client service on Twitter (@OtterboxCS) ask me about the flash. I never use flash but when I use it in the Armor works perfect. Just look at this photo. 

I note the 5S flash is a little bit bigger than the 5 flash. 

Also @OtterboxCS  ask me about the fingerprint scan... I guess they are cheating on me because its imposible to use it in the Armor case... And I can't imagine how are they doing to make it works in the Armor case for 5S he he he.  

I don't like the radical change in the case. I miss some things: The softly multitouch, the lightweight of the iPhone... now I have to puch hard the buttons to pump up the volume or turn onthe iPhone. Anyway I love it, I always have trusted in the Otterbox Armos series case. 

This is my third case of this company. Always I get an iPhone, I get an Otterbox case because I know they make things just perfect than the iPhone.
