I Checked Out All The Current Rugged iPhone Cases...
... including the LifeProof and I stuck with the Otterbox Defender for my new 4S.
The new case is an improvement over my 3GS Defender. The belt clip is more secure and it is included with the case. I also wanted a color choice other than black and Otterbox has some cool colors. The built-in screen protector works just fine and it doesn't affect the quality of the display.
Cell and wireless reception is great. Ditto sound quality when making calls, using the speaker and audio alerts.
LifeProof appears to have some quality control issues and the back-ordered belt clips is a real drag.
My previous Otterbox protected my iPhone for over two years. I don't shower or go swimming with my iPhone so the Defender offers all the protection that I need.
Here is a link for 25% off select cases including the Defender. Free shipping too!

I purchased two Defenders at an ATT store that had a buy two cases, get a third free special. The ATT salesperson credited my account for $25 when I e-mailed him the URL and I get to keep the free case. Sweet!
