What reviewers say

There is little independent testing of this case. Owner ratings on the maker site average 4.0, which is good but not outstanding. The draw is the IPX8 rating, the clear window that lets you use the screen and camera, and the light, flat build. As with any pouch, owners should check the size against their phone with its case on, and test it in a sink before trusting it on the water.

Good

  • IPX8 rated, tested to 10 m
  • Touchscreen and camera work through the window
  • Very light and flat
  • Two sizes for most phones

Not so good

  • No lanyard listed; you need your own tether
  • Mixed owner ratings
  • Big phones in thick cases may not fit the M size

Who it's for

Kayakers and paddle boarders who want their phone handy for photos and maps. Skip it if you want a floating case or a hard case with a built-in lanyard.
