I will be getting a iPhone 4S soon and need a heavy duty case to protect my investment.

Working Crime Scenes can be hard on equipment, and exposure to rain is normal. I need a case that has some resistance to water, or offers submersion protection. A belt clip/holster option is a must.

I've been researching some cases and wanted to know if any of you have experience or input on any of these:

Griffin Survivor
Offers h2o resistance
Belt Clip
Does the camera port cover retract/move to enable taking photos without removing the case?

The Joy Factory Rain Ballet
No Belt clip/holster
One of the few that offers submersion protection.
Anyone have one of these and care to comment?

Life Proof Gen 2
h2o submersion protection
slimmer case
*Belt Holster cost extra*
I read you need a headphone adapter to use your headphones, is this adapter included?
This case seems to fit my needs best, but with the already high price of the case $80, extra for holster, and possibly extra for headphone adapter...seems to expensive. Can anyone clear this up?

Ballistic Hard Core
Offers h2o resistance
Seems extremely bulky
Offers holster
Read its a better Otter box Defender.

All input or other suggestions are appreciated
