LifeProof iPhone 4/4S Case

Drop it, dunk it, roll it in dirt. Lots of cases out there offer similar protection from hard knocks and the elements, but none are as svelte and pocket-friendly as this one. It adds a barely noticeable ¹⁄16 of an inch to the perimeter of your phone. Bonus: The optical glass lens won’t dull the quality of your photos and videos. $80; 1 oz.; lifeproof.com

Great case, but when it is on it is VERY difficult to charge. None of my car charging accessories work without the additional $29.99 adapter. Now I have $110 invested in a case. Really?
