Would you expose your expensive iPhone to the ravages of even the smallest surf? We did, to test the Lifeproof iPhone case. Once your phone is wearing one of the sleek, stylish cases, it's waterproof, snowproof, dirtproof and shockproof - according to Lifeproof.

We deliberately kept the video short. What you see here is a tiny slice of our testing. We launched and landed through splashy surf several times, and then repeatedly dropped a precious iPhone 4S into the edge of the surf, a world of gritty sand and caustic salt. Success!

If Lifeproof can take this sort of deliberate exposure, chances are it'll shrug off the odd spill or drop into freshwater.

Lifeproof cautions users to carefully check the seals on the case before heading into challenging environments. We did it twice.

Lifeproof cases retail for $80. Not cheap, but given the investment we're protecting, we feel it's a reasonable price. There's more than money at stake. It can take hour after hour to set up a replacement. http://www.Lifeproof.com
