LifeProof case for the iPhone 4/4s is what I call a breathe of fresh air. How many times have you seen a friend or someone down the street, walk by with an iPhone with a shattered screen, cracked edges? A lot!! There are numerous armored cases in the market today that aim to protect your iPhone 4/4s from either dust, water or shock, though they tend to look and feel like thermo-nuclear packs that weigh a ton. So here comes LifeProof, an iPhone case solution that not only is light weight at 28g(an Ounce), but also uniquely shaped to fit your iPhone 4/4s neatly without adding any bulk to it (1.5mm thick). Compatible with all iPhone 4 and 4S models ( AT&T, Sprint and Verizon).
So what are the protection claims of this wonder case from LifeProof. LifeProof protects against every-day hazards—full IP-68 rating against water and dust. Ability to swim and take underwater (2 meters/6.6ft depth). Optional Swimming Headphone Adapter allows use of waterproof headphones underwater. High degree of shock and impact protection, with fully sealed protection against minute dust particles; tested to Military Specifications MIL-STD-810F-516.5 (2 meters/6.6ft drop on all surfaces and edges. 26 tests. Pretty much the case turns your iPhone into the Samsung Rugby Smart or Casio, which are smartphones specifically built to handle such damage. if that's the case. Lets see how well the LifeProof Works in those same conditions.

Conclusion
The LifeProof passed the test with flying colors, it is shock proof, dust proof and did survive the heat from the dryer and also played music pretty well while submerged in a bowl of water. The Life Proof case actually got better audio quality with music playback off the iPhone speakers with the case, which acts as a sub-woofer; which I think is pretty cool. Do I recommend lifeProof yes, can you find other Military grade protective cases for less, sure. But I can tell you the all make your iPhone look like a tank or brick, which isn't what most consumers are looking for the. The LifeProof case is slick, durable appealing and worth the price.
