I leave it on 24/7. I love the sleekness of the lifeproof case and the feel in your hand is nice too. There's just nothing that can replicte the peace of mind that having the case on gives. I've dropped my phone a few times and absolutely no damage whatsoever. I can use my phone in the pool without worry. The sweat and moisture from my pocket no longer gives me that "the acessory is not compatible with your iphone" error message even though nothing is plugged in. Such an awesome case. Highly recommend it.
