My kids have the life proof cases on their iPhone 5's and I just don't feel like they would protect them if they would drop them. They have a few friends who have had their iPhones crack even in the life proof case. I have a friend that it happened to also. They like the thin feel of it though. I hate that they have to take ip the case off all the time to listen to their beats. I think that's just asking for it.
I really like the otter box better so my husband and I both use that kind. It feels better protected to me.
I bought their cases at
Best Buy. I have seen them on ebay though. If you order one from there I would verify that it is real.
