I also have the PROTKT for my iPhone 5S but I've never opened it so I'm not sure. It looks more bulky than my old defender case. It's shock proof and waterproof and has headphone access. It comes with a hand band and no other mount. You'd also need the bag-o-mounts to mount it to your bike. There's no ANT+ in the PROTKT. Without being on sale you'd have $80 in it. The lifeproof is $79 - $89 (Fre & Nuud), and $39 for the bicycle mount, but as I stated above they run sales often...
If you can live with the bulkiness and lack of accessories that lifeproof has you may be ok with the PROTKT for every day use, but that's not what it's designed for so I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for the great info. I currently have this...

But I'm not happy with it. It takes 5-7 secs to calculate when I first start off. I want temp and grade and have been experimenting with Mapmyride and Cyclemeter on my iPhone. If I get rid of the VDO and go the app route I definitely want to see the stats as I ride. And as I ride everday even if it's raining I want to protect my phone. But I don't want the hassle of swapping cases all the time.
I'm also not fond of re-calibrating the altitude on the VDO everyday due to changing barometric pressure.
Yeah, I know. I'm picky and marginally (marginally?
) OCD
