It is for me although it's only been a few days. I have no scratches on the screen. It fits in the pocket well. I can even put it in my shirt pocket. I am amazed at how thin it actually is to be everything proof.
Got mine today and setup was all good. Everything works great, all the buttons, Touch ID but i don't use it. Screen sits flush and works good. The top half of the case has a softer feel similar to OB defender, feels good in the hand. For $70 bucks in Australia worth it for me as i am heading to Bali on a surf trip, would of liked to try the nude but couldn't wait and think i would prefer full coverage anyway.
If their was one thing to pick, is you have that slight grainy look you get with all screen protectors. Which is the price you pay. I don't use protectors except when in this type of case.
Hope this helps anyone looking for a slim, nice feel and functional waterproof case, this one is worth it.
I will use it as a everyday case over summer.

Those of you that have this case, are the sides of the case flush where the two halves meet?
I've noticed that the top corner near the sleep button has a jagged edge because the two sides aren't flush. It is very noticeable and I'm curious if this is a common issue.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to describe. The back of the case is definitely notched out a bit to make room for the sleep/wake button, but I wouldn't really call that jagged. Otherwise everything seems to fit pretty flush around the whole case. Can you take a picture of what you're seeing?
Notice where the two halves of the case meet? The white half doesn't sit flush with the gray half.

Hmm, that is odd. I've had a number of lifeproof cases and I'm not sure that any of them were perfectly flush there, but that definitely looks a bit extreme. If you bought it locally you might want to return it and get another or call lifeproof support and they may replace it for you.
Thanks! This is my first lifeproof case so I guess I get to experience what their customer service is like.
I would try to get it exchanged at the store first since LP could tell you that if it passed the water test and the seal is working that it might not affect it.
