My only consternation with the Defender is the claims and reports that the silicon casing gets worn out easily and deforms or loosens up. I like the slim profile of the LP but I also use a Mophie Juice Pack for my 4s, so being able to take the case on and off easily is something to consider as well - which I think the LP is pretty tough to get on/off.
My potential issue with the LP is the reported sloppy screen cover and how it doesn't lay flat against the screen, causing potential sensitivity issues.
I like the Armor case, but it's a bit too bulky for me.
Decisions, decisions....
The lifeproof is not hard to take off at all, my only issue with the case is the proximity sensor malfunction, I am constantly putting the phone on mute with my cheek. I like to hold the phone very close to my face/mouth so people can hear me better as there is a slight degradation of sound with the case on. Otherwise it would be the perfect case.
I have the defender also and the silicone does stretch ever so slightly, but not nearly as much as with the 4s version. When I first got the case the silicone was so tough to get off, but now it has loosened and much easier to get off but by no means "saggy".
I love the defender also- no sound issues, screen protector works great also. It is just a little to bulky and cut outs are rather large to let dust in.
Also nice that is comes with a holster, which I use.
The other case I have my eye on is the Ballistic every1
