Hi Wren,
I don't agree with the person who said the Lifeproof case is a "nice" case. It is not bad, but I bought one for my 4S a couple of years ago and while it does offer good protection (as does the Otterbox Defender) it find both the case and the belt clip is too bulky for my taste and daily use. I also find the audio is slightly distorted when the phone is properly in my case with the headphone jack cover screwed in and it's a pain in the neck to unscrew this and make sure I don't lose it every time I decide I want to quickly plug in my headset. I guess it would be OK if somebody used a Bluetooth headset/earpiece with it as their preferred way to use a headset, but I just happen to like the apple Earpods better than any Bluetooth headset I have seen and tried so far. I usually don't bother screwing in the plug unless I really need that complete waterproofness and using their waterproof headset connector is also not a good solution because if you use it you can only use a headset. Lastly, my Lifeproof case has not been used all that much, but the little door that you close and snap into place after you made sure the case is properly sealed all the way around is now starting to come off and at this point my case would be no longer waterproof. I just noticed this last week when I collected all my 4S accessories as I am getting ready to sell my unlocked 4S 64 Gb am I have to call Lifeproof today and see if they would consider this a warranty. In conclusion I would say that if you really felt you needed a waterproof case then the Lifeproof case is OK, but I would certainly check out other options before I bought one for my 5S.

It goes completely around the phone and is waterproof. There is a little door that you open with your fingernail to recharge the phone, and there is a little screw that you have to undo to get your headphones. The person who has one says it is easy to do and the case has a screen protector and a slimmer than the OtterBox case. God bless, Wren PS I have not seen it yet, but I do plan to buy a 5S sometime in the future, and I will consider this case it is $79 at Best Buy, and it is from what I understand a very nice case and you can purchase either an armband separately or a belt clip separately or both if you are like me.

This meant I had to provide the serial number and it is very specific, it costs me about $30 a year more on my home's insurance policy with $0 deductable specifically for the iPhone. This means even if it is stolen I would get 100% replacement value. My homeowner's policy is underwritten by Wawanesa her e in Canada.

I didn't like the Otter Box case because it was so bulky and also because some of my friends had nothing but trouble with the trap doors that kept breaking. I had a leather case to go on my belt so I put on my phone a protector that covers all around and the back. I think they called it the Fiber 21 or something like that. The material is some form of fiber that is supposed to distribute the shock if you drop the phone rather than taking the shock only where it hit. I also got an insurance that covers absolutely everything including dropping the phone in the toilet. There is a deductible of $250 to replace the phone for a new one. Considering that the 5S 32 gig in Canada is almost a $1000.00 phone when you add the taxes, I think its well worth it. The insurance is $10.00 a month Ron & Danvers Falling down is part of LIFE...

I find that many say they work for the 5, but no mention of the 5s. I assume this is do to the finger print sensor. I am curious on what cases are out there that offer excellent protection for the phone. everyone seems to be promoting the otter box, however, that is what I currently have for my 4s and it has not lived up to expectations. I like the Otter box concept and would like to know are there any other cases out there, which are similar. I want the phone completely encased and to include a built in screen protector. Also, I don't want the case to be any bulkier then the Otter box. Slimmer is better. My husband is thinking of just getting one of the leather cases from apple for his phone but I don't think that will be sufficient protection for my liking. Thoughts, opinions and ideas would be appreciated. Kellie, guide Loki and retired July -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
