SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The LG G5^® smartphone can go even further from day one with LifeProof FRĒ. LifeProof, the No. 1-selling waterproof case, announces its first case for an LG device, available now.

FRĒ is designed with award-winning four-proof protection to guard the LG G5 from water, dirt, snow and drops. LifeProof developed FRĒ as part of the "Made for LG" program, ensuring that every detail was considered when crafting the case in collaboration with LG, just in time for the G5 that will hit U.S. shelves in April.

"LifeProof cases are highly engineered to provide complete confidence when faced with the elements, and that level of design can take some time," said LifeProof CEO Jim Parke. "By participating in the 'Made for LG' program, we can have a fully waterproof case on the market before the device even hits shelves."

The LG G5 features a sleek, metal body, a Slide-out Battery and a Modular Type design, rear fingerprint scanner, and a dual rear camera with a standard and 135-degree wide-angle lens – the widest available in any smartphone. LifeProof FRĒ guards the LG G5 from frigid water, coarse sand, sticky mud and hard hits with legendary protection. FRĒ is outfitted to keep the LG G5 safe in up to 6.6 feet of water for an hour, and meets military standards for shock and impact protection, including drops up to 6.6 feet.

The slim waterproof LG G5 case blocks out scratches with a built-in screen protector to keep the 3D Arc Glass that makes up the phone's 5.3-inch, Always on™ Display vibrant. FRĒ is outfitted with an anti-reflective optical-glass lens cover and a Sound Enhancement System for crystal clear photos and crisp audio.

FRĒ for the LG G5 is available now for $79.99. To learn more, visit lifeproof.com.
