iPhone cases litter my drawers like pens do at a normal persons house. You can probably look in any inch of my apartment and find an empty beer can and an iPhone case. So when I review them, I am usually pretty tedious in my testing. I will use them for a longer period of time to see if anything noticable stands out that I wouldn’t catch in a short 3 day use.

We’ve seen plenty of “lifeproof” phones marketed as be-all-end-all rough-n-tough devices. One such phone that comes to mind is the “G-series” of phones on Verizon Wireless.
