If the lifeproof hasn't been known to protect thoroughly, I don't want to risk ruining my phone! I'm glad you mentioned it!
In my experience, it did it's job as far as protecting the phone from being destroyed by water...but my 5S life proof case allowed some water in, moisture would build up inside the case and then photos taken would be foggy/hazy, and not look great. We went on a couple of white water rafting trips with it, and I found myself taking my phone OUT of the case to take pictures and putting it back into the case to protect it (since the hazing was so annoying).
I had a GoPro at the time but wanted to test out the life proof case to see. It was a bust to me...my GoPro has NEVER given me anything but perfect performance, and the water proof case it has actually does it's job perfectly...
