What's great about it: It's waterproof
What's not so great: It did not protect my phone.
I purchased the Lifeproof case for a new iPhone 4. iPhone4 was not used without the case. Less than 2 months after purchase, the phone was dropped from a distance of less than 3 feet. The iPhone screen shattered. I contacted Lifeproof, who were not very nice, and did not even offer any apologies or anything. I called Best Buy customer service, which was fantastic and helped me. I am still stuck with the broken iphone, and will likely have to replace the screen myself. I will never purchase another lifeproof case and do not recommend this case for protection against drops. I had several iphones before this, all that were protected with Otterboxes... had no problems with any of them... I will be purchasing one of those once I fix my screen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: color
What's not so great: flimsy
While this case claims to be waterproof, I was not comfortable testing it, with my phone in it, in water. In order to charge the phone, the case either has to come off, which isn't easy, or you have to purchase a separate charger that is expensive. The idea is definitely enticing, but I wouldn't drop it in a pool of water to test it's claim.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Color
What's not so great: Cost and handling is bulky
Took it back. Item wasn't cost effective ...way too expensive. Main reason for return was the case was bulky, big, and wouldn't fit in the pocket of my purse or jeans. Too big and hard to text with.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Waterproof, childproof
What's not so great: Can't use a Verizon charger, only an apple charger will fit with the case on
I love this case. It is a little pricey, but worth it. I feel confident letting my grandchildren play games on my iPhone, because I know that this case will keep it totally protected from drools, spills, and accidental drops. To be honest that is the main reason I purchased it. What's not so great is my Verizon car charger won't fit with the case on, only my apple home charger fits, so I have to always make sure I have my phone fully charged before I go anywhere. Another thing great about this case is that nothing is affected by it, the keyboard, sound, etc. For the protection you get from this case, it also nice and sleek.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Protection it offers to the phone
What's not so great: headphone adapter is a pain to switch out and extends too far
Really like the case. Don't like the headphone adapter or the need to have to use an Apple charger to connect.

What's great about it: Super protection
What's not so great: Distorted speech
Nothing seemed better for protecting my wife's phone but when she talked to e, it sounded as if she was using a voice changer or had turned into Darth Vader. Returned this & went to OtterBox.

What's great about it: It's water proof.
What's not so great: It does not float and it's expensive.
Great case I love it! I use it all the time fishing, hunting, on the boat and on the beach. It keeps the inside dry while I can still take pictures in the rain or standing in the surf. Works great only downside is that it does not float!!

What's great about it: Waterproof nice look
What's not so great: Need Lanyard & Float Accessory- Keep a check that it works
Bought this case for my 10 year old daughter as she uses this on my I-4 that she uses as her's (was our old home phone). The case worked well however after a month she noticed the yellow stopper on the bottom was missing and I called Lifeproof they are sending a replacement after sending a photo and proof of purchase. I will be sending the cover back. So far I have replaced my personal case (which leaked some humidity after a few weeks) directly by Best Buy (under 30 days of purchase) and this. I would still buy it again. Do follow the instruction and water test the case before use-there could be a factory defect! Wish they would come out with a lanyard and float to assure you don't drop it in the bottom of the sea!

What's great about it: waterproof, looks great
What's not so great: -
I absolutely LOVE this case! I ordered it because I wanted something waterproof for a 20th anniversary cruise. It works perfectly. So well in fact, that my 18 year old son got one too. It's gorgeous, the display is crisp and clean, everything is still easy to use and sounds fine so don't listen to the complainers. Everyone asks me what kind of case it is and where I got it. You should see the people's faces when you go underwater with your iPhone :)
GO get this case!

What's great about it: Excellent protection ... good safeguard
What's not so great: higher price than most other cases; but, better construction makes it easy to understand why it surpasses other brands.
I was so happy to find a case that would adequately protect my new IPhone. When you make a purchase of a costly item, such as this mobile phone, it's good to know that it is protected from water, sand, dirt, spills, etc. I chose the purple color, which makes it easy to find as it stands out a bit more than the typical black or white. I would definitely recommend the LifeProof Case for the Apple IPhone 4S.

What's great about it: Easy set up, thin case, and protective
What's not so great: Nothing so far
This is the perfect case for anyone, whether your outdoors, indoors, this case protects your phone and is still thin enough to fit into ur pocket. It covers the entire phone and doesn't interfere with typing or touch sensitivity..... Totally love it!!! Just can't wait for the arm band!!!

I don't really like the look or the feel of it once you get it on your phone. It may be waterproof but I was reluctant to try and figure it out.

What's great about it: Keeps phone safe, dry, dust and smudge free
What's not so great: nothing
this is a great case, keeps phone safe from spills and drops. I dropped my phone the other day and it was fine. I'm sure with out this case I would have to get another phone. Also good for those spills that happened. Spilled coffee and just wiped the case clean. Nice bit of protection and I got it in my favorite color..

What's great about it: She Loves the Purple
What's not so great: not all cabls work with this case.
While my wife was using her phone while in the kitchen, she droped this case with her phone into the skink full of soap and water, after she screamed that she droped it she grabbed it out. We opened the case and the phone was safe and dry as a bone. thinks lifeproof!

What's great about it: Looks, protection
What's not so great: Bad echo for people on the other end of the call
I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but when my wife put her iPhone 4s into this case everyone she talk to could hear an echo, usually a bad echo. When she took her phone out, crystal clear talking. I would not recommend this case to anyone.

What's great about it: INDESTRUCTIBLE, thin, light
What's not so great: using your headphones with it, hard to put on
I decided to go from one of those incase cases to lifeproof after nearly breaking my phone to pieces. I have geek squad protection on my phone but I have a high tendency to drop my phone quite a bit so i got it and its fallen in the pool and everything and my phone is still 100% functional. It's a bit of a pain to use your headphones or to turn up the volume but it's a small price to pay for a near indestructible case.

What's great about it: They're exactly as their names states... LIFEPROOF!
What's not so great: Everything is great about these cases.
These cases are awesome! I recently got a purple one after having a black one for almost a year (wanted a color change). You won't find a better case than a LifeProof case. I've had tons of different iPhone cases over the years and this one kills them all. You can beat the heck out of these things and they will keep your phone protected no matter what you throw at it. The best part is when you're out with some friends and you drop your phone into a pitcher of beer and watch their faces... PRICELESS!

I have black, white and purple cases from lifeproof. These cases are simply amazing. Sleek, slim, survives drops and is waterproof. Won't stick to your pocket and all phone functions are fully functional with the case on. Won't ever use any other case.
