What's great about it: Sturdy case, keeps dust/lint off phone, provides secure grip
What's not so great: Have to press harder on the clear front of case while texting
The LifeProof case looks sharp, makes it easier to hold onto the iphone so that it doesn't slip out of your hand, and does a good job of keeping dust and lint from collecting on the iphone. Although the case is kind of pricey, it has been worth the money so far.
This product has... Attractive design, A no slip grip, Tough/durable, good fit

What's great about it: Complete protection from the environment.
What's not so great: If you use speakerphone a lot you may not like this case.
First off, I work outside so I need a case that will repell moisture, dust, dirt etc. This case has done all of those things for me. I've used it for about a month now and the only complaint I have is the muffled speakerphone mode. I knew of this issue going into the purchase but that minor thing didn't outweigh the protection it gives. Buttons all work and feel great, the headphone adapter could be a pain but I have bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth capable car stereo that I listen to music through so have never unscrewed the plug except to disassemble case. Best thing about this case is the feel and size. It slides in and out of my pocket easily and has a great feel. Make sure you buy one from an authorized dealer or you will end up with a fake.

What's great about it: simple to install, great around water
What's not so great: difficult to take out, no stand, no grip when holding
Got this case when I went on a cruise and it worked great! I knew I'd be around water (pool and while in ports) and wanted my phone/camera to be safe. We even took some video underwater and the phone was fine all the way through! I continue to use it just because I tend to be around water and it just gives me an extra peace of mind, but when I want to go running or exercise and have to take it out of the case, it's a pain. Also, the rubber on it has gotten marks in it from opening it (on the first day!). I'd still recommend it to anyone though... that was around water a lot or mom's whose kids aren't as careful around water and such.
I'd much rather it have a stand and some grip for when I"m holding it. It slips out of my hand all the time...

I just bought this case yesterday at a local best buy. When I put the case on for the first time, I realized that my phone was still lightweight. The case has a very sleek design and adds almost now weight to my iPhone 5. The buttons are very responsive. All ports are accessible. I love the all black look it gives. There are a few cons I have already noticed. One is that the screen smudges when you swipe or touch. I tried removing my adhesive screen protector, but the screen still smudged. The second is the sound distortion. The sound coming out of my phone is a little distorted and not as loud. But I will be able to deal with these two cons, because they aren't enough to make me put this case down. It feels great. Looks great. And gives you the protection you need.

What's great about it: waterproof
What's not so great: Earpiece sound, durability, customer service,
Honestly the case is useless unless you are planning on swimming with your phone, it makes it extremely hard to hear calls, the screen protector distorts the screen and the durability of the case is mediocre at best. the first case i got was defected they sent me another case and this case is better but in less than a month of average use i have already lost an o-rings and one of the plugs for the phone. The company also has horrible customer support they billed me for two cases when they sent me the replacement and i am still trying to talk to them to get my money back honestly if i could i would have never bought the case to begin with.

SO I PURCHASED AN IPHONE 5 FOR MY WIFE AND SHE REFUSED THE LIFEPROOF CASE AT FIRST BUT 3 WEEKS LATER DROPPED HER PHONE AND SMASHED THE SCREEN AND HAD TO PAY APPLE 49.00 TO GET A NEW ONE.
THAT DAY I TOOKE HER TO BEST BUY AND PURCHASED THE LIFEPROOF CASE FOR HER AND SHE LOVES IT. KEEPS THE PHONE SAFE AND LOOKING THIN.
I CAN HEAR NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SOUND AT ALL SHE LOVES SHOWING HER COWORKERS HOW ITS WATERPROOF LOL
THE OTHER DAY SHE WAS EATING SOME ICE CREAM AND PUT THE PHONE IN THE BOWL WHILE SHE WATCHED A MOVIE

What's great about it: slim and lightweight
What's not so great: Interfers with clarity
I first noticed a humming noise when I was on the phone, the people I was talking to said it sounded like I was muffled. Then they were unable to hear me. I then realized the mute button was being pushed. The humming noise was driving me crazy, so I called lifeproof and explained the humming noise. I was told this was not suppose to happen and they shipped me a new one. I soaked it and placed phone in case. Made a call and the person said I was muffled unclear and not very loud. I'm returning it to Bestbuy for a refund. Great idea if it worked.

This is MUST HAVE for any iPhone 5 owner, I must first say that these bad reviews are startling !! I have had lifeproof cases for both my 4S and my 5 and they have not let me down, I've even gone swimming with my phone and taken underwater pics with it with this case.
It's slim, it's light, it protects and the best part is it protects from ALL elements, so when you remove your iPhone a year later or two years later to sell it, it looks EXACTLY like the day it came out of the box new, there is no dust anywhere..... it's clean and flawless, and for that it's worth the $79 pricetag... even Otterbox can't stand up when it comes to how light and slim it is

What's great about it: waterproofing my iphone
What's not so great: Price
I read all the reviews and I have not had any touch screen problems, Phone fit perfectly in case. I did the water test and it was dry. I work on the water at a marina so this case is perfect. It is pricey but then there aren't any other cases out there that can keep my phone dry, clean and protect it from drops. Overall this case is PERFECT

What's great about it: The screen is flush with the phone
What's not so great: It is expensive.
So, I had a LifeProof case for my iPhone 4S and couldn't stand it because of how much it affected the screen functionality. I love the iPhone 5 case though! The screen shield is flat on the phone screen and the functionality is 100 percent. I can't speak on the quality of phone calls because I rarely call anyone (I'm a texter). The sound quality of the speakers is muffled, but not enough that it matters.
My one and only problem is getting all of the dust specks off the screen before closing it up. I have a few on there still and it bothers me. LifeProof recommends that you don't open and close the case because it can decrease the water proof protection. So, I am stuck with some specks on my screen. But, it is worth it to know my phone is protected from pretty much everything.

I own a otter box defender and wanted a slimmer case for my iphone5 and wanted to try the life proof case. When I opened the box I saw was a flimsy case. I will be waiting to buy the otter box armor series that is also waterproof dustproof and everything else the life proof case says it is.

What's great about it: Streamline and durable
What's not so great: A bit expensive
I love this case.It is lightweight and that really makes a big difference.I have used the Otterbox Defender in the past and it was very large.Another thing I did not like about the Otterbox Defender was that the charge opening eventually would not close, so I wanted to find a different case.This case is very streamline, which did worry me at first.When it was first taken out of the box I thought that it seemed flimsy and too thin.Once it was on I was pleasantly surprised.It fits great and does not add bulk to the phone.I also like the little charge dock owning.It is easy to open and it closes securely with a click. I really was not intending to use this as an underwater camera but if it got wet it is protected.Would definitely recommend !

What's great about it: Keeps screen safe and your phone DRY!!
What's not so great: Sound is not as clear with calls and music. Sometimes the screen is not sensitive enough and you have to key harder.
It serves the main purpose to keep your phone dry under water!! The price is good when you compare buying a screen protector along with the Otter Box. I have dropped my phone many times and the case is very durable and the screen is fine. Case is slim and fits in your pocket vs the Otter Box. No variety of colors or style.... Yet ! I only wish it came with two headphone adapters, the one is small and hard to keep track of. Overall, it is a great product .
This product has... Easily fits in pocket/purse, A no slip grip, Tough/durable, A nice compact size, good fit, waterproof when dropped in a pool or sink..
