Review: Life Proof Cell Phone Cases

Life Proof makes what they claim to be waterproof cases for the IPhone.  Obviously, the protective features of the cases are big plus, and overall, we had been pleased with the cases. We have not been pleased with the durability of the product.

My wife and I both purchased IPhone 4/4s cases. She has had hers about 2 and 1/2 years. She dropped her phone about two weeks ago, and cracked the door covering the charging port. It is supposed to withstand drops of 6.5 feet, but didn't at less than 1/2 that distance. 

I have had mine for little over a year and a half.Today, I discovered that one of the buttons on mine (they are a soft plastic material) had split--even though the phone spends most of its time in a pocket or sitting on a side table.

For the price, and based on the hype, I would have expected these cases to last longer.
