Just joined the iPhone revolution. What do you guys use for a case when skiing? Looking to use it for photos but not sure if a pow day will destroy the phone. Heard otterbox commuter was pretty legit or a standard incase.

Life Proof.

I left mine outside in a puddle at my buddies cabin while it was raining for 4 hours (it was an accident...) and it worked perfectly fine the next day.

How much bulkier and heavier is the phone with a life proof case for those who have one?

Man I've heard of the Otter Box which is super sick and basically indestructable but that Life Proof case looks just as cool if not better.

life proof is the best case on the market it is just as slim as all of the other "bumper"(crappy cases) thats you can buy from the gas station, but it is amazing!!!!!

i don't use a special one for skiing, but check out defaultcase, they got some nice little cases for just $5, plus they got amazing customer service if one breaks they'll send you a new one whenever.

I don't know. I like everything about my Life Proof except that the front screen doesn't really stay flush to the phone screen, so I can feel it coming up and down a little I guess? It's just annoying when you're typing, I'm probably going to go with something else.

Yea, in comparison between the otterbox defender and life proof. life proof seems pretty solid (even though its 80 bucks). Plus the fact it's a lower profile than otterbox is kinda neat..

I have this case with a screen protector on the front and back. I'm careful with my phone, who the hell needs to double the size of their phone? And I don't want to carry around a giant plastic brick all day long.
