What is the best case for iPhone 5?

I've researched Lifeproof? Otterbox? Griffin Survivor? Are there any other comparable cases? Which would you suggest?

I have Otterbox Defender Series, & am very happy with it.
My nephew has Lifeproof, & is happy with that, so I'd recommend either of those…

I would suggest life proof because it is resistant to snow sand rain mud and shock. I have one on my iPhone 5. I also have a zagg HD millitary grade shield on front and back. With the case and protectors it was about 110 dollars but it gives me piece at mine since I have no warranty or insurances.

I always prefer some cool cases, like this:

Element case is very cool and protective, maybe you can have a look at it.

As far as protection of your iPhone 5 is concerned Otterbox Defender is the best option. Lifeproof is a waterproof case and really a work of art. However, it makes hard to access the phone. I'm not sure about Griffin Survivor but Defender is all time favorite case.
