Is LifeProof OtterBox now? For phone cases, yes, LifeProof phone case brand is now owned by OtterBox, with OtterBox acquiring LifeProof in 2013, so LifeProof is subsidiary of OtterBox, but LifeProof flooring is separate brand owned by Home Depot, not OtterBox, so confusion due to same name but different companies. LifeProof phone cases, founded 2009 in San Diego making waterproof cases like LifeProof Fre and Nuud, was acquired by OtterBox in May 2013 for 50 million dollars, making LifeProof now part of OtterBox company, with LifeProof operating under OtterBox umbrella, website LifeProof.com still active but owned by OtterBox, with OtterBox selling both brands. LifeProof flooring is completely separate, private label of Home Depot, made by Halstead, not owned by OtterBox. So is LifeProof OtterBox now? For phone cases, yes, LifeProof now OtterBox owned, with OtterBox owning LifeProof brand and manufacturing, while LifeProof flooring remains Home Depot brand, not OtterBox, so answer depends on product, phone case LifeProof is now OtterBox, flooring LifeProof is Home Depot, with same name but different owners, causing confusion, but phone case LifeProof is now OtterBox subsidiary since 2013 acquisition.
