This phone case is a great concept, however, there is no guarantee that your phone will not accidentally get wet while inside the case if held under water. Although you are required to do a water test before you insert your phone, any slight shift in the case can cause it to leak right though. Not to mention, the price is incredibly expensive for a cheap-lookikng plastic case, and the buttons are so incredibly hard to press that there is no way of locking your phone or switching it to silent when it is in the case. Lastly, when speaking on the phone while in the case, the person on the other end can barely hear you as it is very muffled and echoey.

As a busy mom with 2 kids I loved the idea of a waterproof, shockproof "lifeproof" case my kids could not destroy. I am in a small town so the store here had the lifeproof case only in limited colours (black or white and grey) and it was pricier than online or in larger stores (just under $100) but the lure of waterproof drove me to purchase it anyway. I have never been more disappointed in a product. The case makes conversations difficult, no one can hear me speaking and if they do it is echo-y and tinny. The audio on videos is garbled and unclear due to the case not making allowances for a secondary noice cancelling microphone on the back of the iPhone 5. I could not use it with regular headphones or connect it to my stereo as it required an adapter to do so, and if you used an adapter you had to unscrew a little plug every time, try not to lose it, and then put it back in when you were finished. After all this my youngest daughter dunked it in the tub, and there was condensation on the INSIDE of the case after, showing that after all this it was not even, in fact, waterproof. Biggest waste of money I ever spent.
