Review 1 for LifeProof Case for Apple® iPhone® 4 and 4S - White
What's great about it: everything.
What's not so great: hmm... good question.. can't really think of one complaint off hand.
I've had this case for over 3 months now and haven't looked back.
Yes, its waterproof. Hands down so kick butt to be able to take this underwater and shoot video and pics.
Dropped it many times.. no problems.
trashed it outside. Love being able to run it under the faucet to clean it.
No problems with the touch screen.
Call or voice clarity is great. No problems. Like the case isn't even on.
It's not bulky like other cases. Very slim for the protection that it offers your phone.
This is a case where a company creates a product and knocks it outa the park. It's that good. The is the best iphone case you can get. Hands down, no if's and's or but's..

best case ever
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: water proof, lightweight, good quality
What's not so great: special ear bud jack
this is the best case that i have ever used and will probably ever use again. before this case i have been really close to ruining my phone when i was using my (otter box defender). i have spilled stuff near the phone, gotten water on it and finally most of all dropping it. the otter box is good for protecting against dropping but not water so when my old case broke from general wear i had to make the decision on what case to get. as soon as you touch this case you can feel a real difference its not bulky it hugs the phone, so with anyone who hates to put case on their phones cause their bulky heres the answer to that. final the main feature of the phone case is water proofing and i was a little like i don't think it really is going to work however straight from the box (after reading instal papers a must) i dropped it into water and was shocked it really works my phone survived. also drop protection works to.

As soon as a I saw the lifeproof case I immediately bought it. Who wouldn't want a, no pun intended, life proof case? Well the first day I bought it I accidently dropped my phone from about chest height and, the case broke. I then got another and noticed that the sound quality was terrible and the phone speaker wasmuffled heavily. It was waterproof, I put it in a bowl of water and submerge it and my phone was fine. Also, there is a noticeable gap between the screen protector and the screen itself which took away from the responsiveness of the touch screen. I have since returned it and moved on to an Otterbox defender and removed the screen protector and replaced it with a Zagg cover.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Review 6 for LifeProof Case for Apple® iPhone® 4 and 4S - White
It works, but be aware of some drawbacks
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: Easy to put together, makes the iphone shock/water/dirt proof as advertised
What's not so great: Expensive, bulky, and the screen cover bonds with the iphone screen to form a distortion "spot"
I like this product, will continue to use it because it takes away the fear of dropping your iphone, getting it wet, or scratching the screen or back. In other words, it can truly take a beating in this case. However, not surprisingly, it makes the phone rather bulky, and the rubber rim makes it especially hard to get your phone out of your pocket when someone's calling you. The most annoying part, however, is that the clear protective screen, after about a week of use, has formed what looks like an oil spot where the keypad is (where your fingers touch it the most). I've removed the phone and cleaned thoroughly, but can't get it to go away. It doesn't make the phone unusable, it's just an annoying drawback, like you've constantly got a smudge on the bottom part of your screen.

between good and excellent

What's great about it: It really protects
What's not so great: so far only the cleaning of the screen
I bought one because my iphone started to rust within and apparently now the situation is solved. I think a great product maybe overpriced for what it is. Main advantage it is not bulky nor ugly like the competitors. Other small problem none of the manufacturer thought of putting a clip that would clip to women purse inside or out that would be convenient and pretty at the same time.

Review 9 for LifeProof Case for Apple® iPhone® 4 and 4S - White
Insurance in my pocket
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Compact. Easy in/out of my pocket
What's not so great: Very tight tolerances
Yes, it is a very expensive case, but it is only 10% of the phone's retail cost. Very slim, it doesn't drag out my pockets. It is not a tacky finish like silicone based covers, but maintains a good grip.
I am not prone to test limits, but I have seen an otherwise sane person throw her phone across the room. I have used it in the tub whilst soaking aching muscles
Negative; the power synch port is cut exactly to fit the original Apple cord. Only one after market cord (Kuhmo) fits in to charge or synch. Since all aftermarket accessories seem to be about the same cost as original, save yourself trouble and by genuine Apple.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: IF it worked as adverstised it would be great
What's not so great: The case failed frying my 6 month old iPhone
After having had water damage on a previous iPhone I knew full well what water damage can do to one. So, when I heard about these wonderful "everything proof" cases I figured it was cheap insurance to cough up the $80+ price for the case.
After 6 months of careful use (I'm a stay at home dad, so most of the time it's sitting on a table or in my pocket) the charging port door developed a near invisible hair-line crack.
While on vacation I took the phone into the water to film my son on his first time snorkeling in the Caribbean. That was all it took to fry my phone. The crack in the door allowed water into the case and that was fatal to the phone. There IS no recovery from seawater with an iPhone.
So IF you buy this case be diligent to inspect it very carefully if you intend on using it around water. DO NOT just trust, as I did, that the case was the "Anywhere, Anytime" case that they advertise it to be. I'm living proof that it isn't.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Worst Decision Ever!!!

My romance with the lifeproof case was short lived. Other than the novelty of telling people the case was water proof (which WAS its only useful function), there is little else to discuss. The case is poor quality and is in shambles since I purchased it months ago. You may argue that I was rough on the case, but for $80.00 you expect a product that would be able to stand up to 3 falls from waist height....it hasn't. I will be purchasing an otterbox soon. I will however miss youtubing in the shower.

What's great about it: Screen protector and case in one package and more
I wanted a case that can keep dust and lint from my phone when carrying it in my pockets and this does that perfectly. The built-in screen shield is also perfectly clear with no noise or grain. It's like there's not even a screen protector. Since the screen shield doesn't stick to the phone's screen, you don't have to fight with air bubbles or lint between the screen and the shield. Although it gets finger prints easily, it's very easy and simple to just wipe it with warm wet paper towel since the case is water proof. Or heck, you can just use your shirt. The design is also very attractive and it's very slim. It's not much thicker than the iphone 4s itself. Unlike some users, I have no problems with sound. The lifeproof site stated the sound issue is a problem with the phone and teaches you how to solve it, though I don't know how true this is.
There are a few minor problems that may affect some people:
1) The USB slot for charging is very small. My 3rd party USB chargers can't fit into it.
2) You have to unscrew the cork to plug in earphones. This is annoying if you don't use a bluetooth headset instead.
3) It's impossible to flick the mute switch while the phone is in this case.

I suggest you try this case out. Keep the receipt and if you don't like it, return it for a full refund. It's easy to repackage everything.

I think the case is great and does exactly what is advertised to do but I was bummed out to find out that I wasn't able to use any aftermarket iPhone chargers because it won't fit in the flip down door. Secondly I can't use any of my aftermarket headphones except for the factory Apple headphones. Buyers beware that most of your aftermarket chargers,USB cords and headphones won't work.

What's great about it: Look, protection
What's not so great: cost, bottom connector slot
I bought this for my daughter's iphone 4. Great low profile, integrated look for the phone. She has not dropped it or spilled water on it, but it does look like it is well protected. The only two cons or drawbacks are the price (costs more than average covers) and the fact that not all charging docs or cords fit with this case on. one out of my 3 recharging cords fit.

Case seems to be doing it's intended job so far, but, I am not thrilled with the clear screen cover. It's not nearly as touch sensitive as my previous protection case.

did not protect my phone; unable to use underwater
Customer Rating

What's not so great: not waterproof as expected; poor customer support; touch screen does not work in water
I bought a Lifeproof case in Best Buy last week. I followed all the instructions and use my phone underwater (about 1 foot deep) for video for about 15 minutes. It worked at first, then bubbles went out of the speaker hole cover. Then my iPhone 4 has problem with its flash light and it would not turn off even I completely shut down my phone. When I opened the charger cover there is water running out of it! Obviously the case did not protect my phone as it is expected. Do not believe their videos on Youtube. You are under risk on your own! They already claim they have NO liability for any property loss caused by this case, but on the package they tell you to take it to snorkeling! When I called them for the whole day there is only voice mailbox and nobody answers.
One more con is: you cannot take pictures under water with this case. Because finger touch does not work in water! Only thing you can do is starting video recording before enter into water and keeping it running. Not very convenient
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: it broke after 3 months and no warranty.
Everyone told me to get a otter box, but i was interested in a waterproof case. The only issue i have with this case is the flap that covers the usb port has broken off after 3 months. never dropped it. Maybe otter box is the way to go.

What's great about it: Protection
What's not so great: Compatability with other appliances
This is ideal for those who are paranoid about having their phone destroyed. The only downside is you would have to buy an extender to use it on a docking station or if you want to use the mirroring feature on the iPhone 4s while still having it on. The touch response can be a little hampered as well from the screen protection. This is not a case to take off and on a lot. Whats nice is that its water proof but if it dropped in deep water I am not sure it would float.

What's great about it: Ultimate protection without getting in the way.
What's not so great: Slightly raised home button can be pressed while in pocket
The Lifeproof case is the ULTIMATE case for the iPhone.
It doesn't make the phone much bigger, yet it provides drop protection, scratch protection, and even water protection. All without affecting the sound quality or the touch screen sensitivity.
Now I don't worry about my iPhone. I listen to music in the shower and even while swimming (with their water proof headphones).
The only thing to look out for is to check the seals after a big drop. Oh, and a few times the raised home button got pressed while in my pocket. So just be aware of that...
