Bought my case a week ago at BestBuy and I have yet made a decision whether to keep it or not.
My sister has otterbox commuter case and its same size and possibly even less bulkier than commuter. So design of the case is really neat and I do have to commend lifeproof for this. Its less bulkier than other cases that serve same purpose.
Pros:
Very light 1.1 oz according to my scale. Doesn't add much bulk. Screen protector is kind of crappy but seems to work fine.
Biggest Pro for me is not having to constantly worry about damaging my iphone. So lifeproof name fits really well with this. I can go about my daily routine and not worry about damaging my iphone.
I can throw it in my pocket without worrying if i have anything there. I can throw it on my desk. I can use my phone when eating without worrying about leaving food stuff on the phone. No worries about spilling any drinks or liquids and damaging my phone. I bought my phone used and it doesn't have applecare + on it. I also tend to resell my gadgets down the line to feed my habit so this actually helps a lot since phone is sitting in its own protected cocoon without being damaged.
No audio issues with speakerphone, normal conversations. Works great.
No issues with camera. I did have a little oil slick but it went away by itself.
Cons:
screen protector. Since I got my case from bestbuy, i got the older version where auto dimming doesn't work. If I'm going to keep the case, I'm going to request new updated version of the front case cover that has a fix for auto dimming.
Another con for me is that i loose the easy of use factor. none of my headphones fit without using the supplied adapter. its not a big deal since I use headphones case and it fits fine. I do have to unscrew the cap cover in order to use headphones but its ok. Also i would need to use dock extender if i want to use any sort of stands with it. Again this is not a deal breaker but more of an annoyance which I think is a small price to pay for the pros of the case. Hopefully some of these will be addressed in lifeproof 2.0 case.
So there we go my mini review and still undecided
