I'd say the Lifeproof cases are really only relevant if you're going to be ON the water...Otterbox protects the device against the types of exposure you'd find outdoors (rain, sweat, humidity, etc). That and the Lifeproof case isn't overly durable...at least it wasn't on the 5S. The case we had felt extremely flimsy, but did it's job against waterproofing the device.
