Did you know that a recent study shows tech gadgets topping the list of what mom REALLY wants for Mother's Day?  If you happen to be one of the many lucky moms who already have an iPhone 4 or 4S or if you are one of the many blessed children who will be gifting one for mom, then listen up.

Would You Try This With Your iPhone?

I know I wouldn't!  I'm so scared of damaging my high-dollar tech devices that a lot of times, I won't even bring them with me if I'm going to be partaking in any kind of activity that could possibly cause damage.  That's why LifeProof is such an essential iPhone accessory.  It not only allows you to be the road warrior/accident prone person/outdoor adventurer that you are, it lets you take the versatility of your iPhone to new heights!

LifeProof is the first and only waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and snowproof case for Apple's iPhone 4/4S in a sleek design that provides full access to all device functions.  Form fitting yet designed to meet military specifications, LifeProof gives you complete freedom to use your iPhone in any wet, dirty or rough situation.  While many vendors sell "skins" and cases to provide varying degrees of drop and scratch protection, LifeProof provides a fully environmentally protective case that is designed for everyday use.

The LifeProof for the iPhone 4/4S transforms the phone and extends its capabilities. For example, with LifeProof, the iPhone 4/4S becomes an underwater video camera.  Just look at all of the amazing features and protection offered by the LifeProof iPhone 4/4S Case:

Features:

• Every-day hazard protection: International protection rating of IP-68 against water and dust
• Underwater protection: The ability to swim underwater (6.6ft depth), with optional adapter that allows use of waterproof headphones
• Shock and impact protection: Tested to Military Specifications (6.6ft drop on all surfaces and edges)
• Dust protection: Fully sealed protection against minute dust particles
• Slim profile: 10.8mm depth main body, only 1.5mm thicker than the iPhone; thinner than many standard cases, weighs less than one ounce
• Sleek case: Slips easily in and out of pockets
• Full operation: Allows all iPhone features to be operational while maintaining a high level of protection
• LifeProof's CrystalClear double anti-reflective (AR) coated camera-grade glass lens delivers the sharpest eight megapixel images possible, with perfect camera flash operation.
• With LifeProof, HD videos can be taken everywhere – underwater, in snow, in dirt – with full MILSPEC shock and impact protection even if dropped onto concrete.
• LifeProof's ClearVoice system takes full advantage of the iPhone microphone and 4S Siri voice activation while in the case.
• LifeProof's patent-pending Sound Enhancement System (SES) improves the bass and mid-frequency speaker response by utilizing the back of the case as a sub-woofer for a richer, fuller sound.
• LifeProof ensures the optimum performance and reception of the iPhone 4/4S dual antenna design.
• LifeProof's ultra-flat screen protector makes operating and interacting with the iPhone 4/4S highly responsive without the need of a separate screen protector.

Although LifeProof may be compared with other environmentally protective cases, this category is dominated by "occasional use" solutions that are to be employed only when the user is performing specifically hazardous activities. In addition, most cases disable key phone functions when in use, meaning that when the special use situation is over, the iPhone needs to then be removed to allow for charging and full operation again.

By contrast, the LifeProof case is lightweight and minimal in size while embracing the iPhone aesthetics and design concept. Therefore, it becomes a part of the iPhone and extends its functionality.  If you're the proud owner of an iPhone 4/4S, then I would highly recommend outfitting it with the LifeProof case.  Enjoy your iPhone to the fullest by making it completely LifeProof!
