    Absolutely love my life proof! I haven't tried to drown my phone, but I have had several accidents, and my phone is unharmed. I have bought over 12 cases... This is my favorite!

    My life proof case worked well at first, I am a swimming coach and I did some underwater videoing of one of my teams, Then a couple months later, the case was closed and in my pocket while i walked in knee deep salt water to get on my boat. My phone is toast. Get it, use it, but don't trust it. They will replace the case, but not the phone.

    Works great!!! Being a woodworker I'm exposed to a lot of fine dust that has wiped out all my other phones. Lifeproof handled it!! I also swim in salt water and fresh with phone and have had not one issue. Only time I open the case was to install phone, that's it. Charger port latch is very durable!

    I bought the Lifeproof case on their website about a week ago, got it yesterday, this morning my 2 year old dropped it from about 6 inches from the ground and the entire screen is smashed. Yeah, might be waterproof, but I guess I should have stayed with the Otterbox for the shockproof. It makes it difficult to type anyway, but now it's really difficult with a broken screen. Guess I'm calling tomorrow when they reopen to get my $70 back...and no, I'm an not an idiot, the case was easy enough to put on, but the flimsy plastic on the front won't protect it from drops...at least not directly onto the face of the phone anyway.

    Agreed! I didn't even have a chance to water test the damn thing, it didn't stand the FIRST drop. :( VERY DISAPPOINTED.

    How about the plastic on the screen doesn't protect your screen from shattering...yep, happened about 4 hours ago & I'm still highly pissed about it. Have to live with the cracked screen until next year when I can afford to upgrade. Damn it.

    THANK YOU - I'm glad I am not the only one! I was SO optimistic - I've had the Otterbox for awhile and it was good, but I'm going to Jamaica in 11 days and thought hey - let's swim in the ocean with our iPhones...yeah, screen shattered in less than 24 hours. BS.

    None of these shock complaints make any sense gorilla glass alone should handle most if these issues let alone with extra case protection

    I've placed my phone in the toilet, in the sink, I've taken showers with it, I've gone swimming with it, I've gone snowboarding with it, I've done it all. I love the case. I dropped it once out of my truck and it still works perfectly and even better, my phone doesn't have a single scratch or crack.

    then return it to life proof. from my understanding they replace it after something like that happens

    let me get this straight... dropped it 6 inches? theres no way it shattered the screen from 6 inches off the ground. even without a case on the iPhone 6 inches will not shatter the glass. You're high

    I bought this case in Ukraine, namely in the online store http://iphonemarket.com.ua/ and was very pleased after purchasing

    Well, a lot of people who like to relax in a bath usually listen to music. But, if you dont have the case your phone gets wet. So who gives a flying F if noone showers with it. I have it and I use it when im relaxing in the tub. K thanks.

    My screen shattered in the LIFEPROOF case for no reason.I did not drop it. It was sitting on my work desk, it suddenly lighted up, so I grabbed it to see what I got then I noticed the lines, i thought my case got dirty then I felt the shattered glass while I was un-locking the phone.I do not know how this can happen. I am very confused. I do not know who to contact to appeal my case. If I dropped the phone, I would at least guess what could have caused it, but how can the screen shatter just by itself?

    I plan on getting this for my iPad3 which functions as a work tool, I provide tech support for aircraft, aerospace and military grade vehicles and have dropped previous devices while I've been upside down, underneath, and other places I've been in these vehicles, I've seen the product used firsthand and it works if you install it right

    I finally broke down and got my first iPhone & LifeProof case just a month ago! I have never dropped it or even wanted to submerge it in water. I am not one who is hard on phones as I had my last phone for nearly 8 yrs. Yesterday proved to me that the case it a piece of CRAP! My phone is smashed to pieces with no rhyme or reason! It looks like something was smashed into it or it was dropped when it was just in a side pocket of my purse! All the case did was keep the glass encased instead of scattered around in my purse! What the crap!? I think I would be more accepting of the situation if I had actually done something to my phone but the fact that I didn't and the case obviously did not protect it at all is what bothers me!

    Lol , for those who had cracked screen so easily are probably just plain unlucky , i used the lifeproof case and i purposely submerged my case in water after testing the waterproof to test if its working with my phone in it and it worked. So no complains there. As for the cracked screen , its just unlucky as i said. i've dropped the phone from as high as 1.5M high and it did not crack every time i dropped it (rarely) cause it hits the corner only. Compared to 2 of my friends who bought the iphone 4s which is newer than my iphone 4s by a few months , they dropped their iphone for the 1st time and the screen cracked on them already. So if your screen cracked so easily you are probably just unlucky , At times i even place it on the top of the toilet bowl to play music while i bath without a case (i haven't gotten the LP case yet) and the iphone slid to the corner of the toilet bowl's top surface (where it stores water) and fell to the concrete ground right beside a drain. the phone was a little wet but totally no cracks , just a few scratches on the antennagate..
