How do you remove the headphone jack from the Lifeproof case that fits with a Samsung S4? The iPhone one unscrews, but this one will not release.

They snap in real good I pull and twist the yellow ring on it makes it tougher to plug and unplug I just removed mine, actually lost it to be honest and is easier. Not a very good design I wished it screws in like previous ones.

You gently pry it off starting at the volume button corner. Once you have it started it just pops off the rest of the way.

I've only had to do it a few times, I pull off the case first near the power button, and then near the headphone jack. That's the easiest way, and it doesn't feel like it's going to break for me.

Yes. At the top there is a screw off knob. The case comes with an adaptor that screws into it where you can plug in the headphone jack. The head phone jack will not plug in to the phone properly with out the adapter provided.

Yes. I have an Otter case and it works great. You do not have to remove the case. You put the jack in the same as earphones.

there was an extension jack that must be used in order for your headphone to work as Kyle explained better than I, also remember to put the little screw back in when done, I know that in the past with the ipads, apple had some sound issues occur after updates where you didnt have sound except thru headphone/earphones, or had to install a app to correct sound problems with the jack and settings - tho the case I purchased was for the Ipad, it wasn't waterproof at all, ipad3 is dead, hopefully your phones case will do as they advertise.

No, you should use the extender. The case extends below the bottom of the phone and the channel for the headphone jack to go in is narrower than the original iPhone headphone jack. I guess you could force it, but it seemed like a really tight fit to me and it would be hard to get it out.

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

You have to remove it from the case. Also, when I got my case, the screen was covered in dirt. Also, to plug in and detach the headphone jack, that is done from inside the case, not outside.

yes. the headphone jack in the case piggybacks the iphones so it works and is sealed off. the phone jack is sideways on the top and is better protected. this case isnt a full time case like the lifeproof, but more of a temporary case for when u are going out in elements for the day. if you are looking for a case to leave your phone in for long term then i would go with the lifeproof. i will say that i love this case for out on the kayak or hiking & atv'ing. i hate big cases all the time and have no need for one but really like having the rugged case when needed

My husband has the Lifeproof and he doesn't have any issues. I would say either change the holder or the Otterbox case.

Yes, I have a lifeproof case, and was very angry when my headphones would no longer fit. This cable fixed my problem.

The rubber/silicone part is set in the channel around the phone. To easily remove this, open the USB and headphone doors then slowly pull the silicone out of the channel starting at the top and working your way around the phone. For the plastic part, start at the top or bottom and use your finger nail (thumb nail works best) to release the tab. The go to the next 2 on the side and release them. Continue to the next set and work your way down the phone. This otterbox is better designed than the one for my Samsung Infuse. It went together like it did new out of box. Just be patient and don't force anything. The rubber/silicone part is set in the channel around the phone.

Sorry for the late reply.. took a couple days to flag her down.. She said that she does not have to remove the case to use her headphones..There is a little spot/flap that she can lift and plug them in. Hope that helps :-)

I don't have a Lifeproof case but my guess is Yes. It plugs into the headphone jack so I don't see why there would be a problem...

Yesss! This is an issue, only apple headphones or headphones with the same diameter jack as apple headphones will fit through the opening in the case.

Yes! I use a Samsung Galaxy S4. The entrance point for headphones is built into the design. I lift a snug flap. Very usable as well as strong. (( ~ :
