How good are they, I'm looking for new cases as well.

I was not impressed with LifeProof. For what it costs, it's rather unimpressive. I borrowed my sister's not too long ago to see if I liked it. It's just two pieces of plastic. It is waterproof. I was caught in a rain storm trying to get my horses in the barn and got soaked. Not a dry thread of clothes left on me. My phone was in my pocket and it was fine. However, for $80, I expected more than just two pieces of plastic with a rubber ring to make it waterproof.
I've used the Defender as well as the HC Ballistics case. The Defender was my favorite, but if you take your case on and off repeatedly like I do, the silicone skin will stretch out quickly. Otterbox will replace your case for free under their phenomenal warranty replacement, but it gets old after a while having to replace the silicone once a month or so.
The HC Ballistics is my favorite by far. I got mine off of Amazon for about $10 and LOVE those cases. The silicone outer shell has yet to stretch out even though I take it off almost daily to dock it on my iHome.
Neither the Defender or the Ballistics are waterproof, but I prefer those over the LP.
Griffin survivor. Otterbox is overrated in my opinion.
If the Griffin's belt clip wasn't so crappy, I'd like it. It's one piece of plastic that doesn't even cover the whole screen. It's pathetic compared to what the case provides.
