I sure did! I have one on my old 4S and I loved it, but never got one for the new phone. Then the day before my wedding in Palm Springs I was walking from our hotel room to the lobby and stopped by the pool deck to say hi to my future in-laws. My dad, who was 100 feet away at the hotel restaurant tried to call me to get my attention. Hand got caught on my pocket pulling out my phone, and the it did a slow motion tumble in to the pool. Spending two hours in a US Apple store the day before my wedding getting it replaced was the exact last thing I needed to be doing that day, so I ordered the LifeProof case for the 5 as soon as we got home.

What's worse, is that I already had a different brand of water proof case for the 5, but it was such a tremendous POS, I had taken the phone out in frustration the night before the pool incident. It was sitting on the couch in the hotel room when my phone went for a swim. When you talk on the phone with a LifeProof case, you can't even tell it's covered up, the one I had for my old 5 made it sound like I was at the bottom of a very deep well.
