PTPA Media is North America's largest parent tester community – a credible third party resource for parents with over 40,000 volunteer parent testers. Since 2008, PTPA has evaluated thousands of products and services from leading manufacturers and emerging brands. Parents evaluate these products in their own homes, which allows for PTPA Award-winners to be selected based on merit as well as consumer experience, rather than just commercial considerations.

What parent testers had to say about LifeProof:

"The LifeProof iPhone case is a must-have for any parent. With three kids under the age of six, I need a phone case that can withstand the rigors of parenting. My LifeProof case goes above and beyond this, protecting my phone against food, grime, dirt and sand, snow, and shock from unexpected drops. Better still, my LifeProof case is fully waterproof, meaning I can record underwater videos of my kids on my phone and take it on family trips to the beach without worry. Again, I highly recommend this product!"

"I loved this case and it gave me a sense of security that the phone was protected. I was still able to access all of the controls for the phone and in fact, felt that the screen worked better with this case on the phone."

LifeProof is the first waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and snowproof case for the iPhone 4/4S in a slim and sleek design that provides full access to all device functions. As an everyday, everywhere case that protects the iPhone from any usual hazard encountered in daily life, LifeProof is ideal for parents, children, adventurers, road warriors, fitness enthusiasts or anyone who wants the freedom to be connected everyday and everywhere.

"We're honored to receive the seal of approval from PTPA Media. Like most parents, the Mom and Dad evaluators have active daily lives and want the freedom to take their iPhone everywhere and anywhere," said Gary Rayner, CEO of LifeProof. "With LifeProof, parents can have peace-of-mind over their investment, while letting kids be kids."
