PelicanMarine - IP68 Waterproof Phone Pouch (XL Size) Floating Waterproof Phone Case - Beach Cruise Ship Travel Essentials - Works with All Phones - Detachable Lanyard - Black/Hi-Vis Yellow

Excellent buy, excellent value!Ease of use: product is extremely easy to use. Camera window is easy to locate which makes this extremely easy to identify how to place your phone into the pouch.Waterproofing: product operates as advertised. My family and I used these pouches in a saltwater bay. They were brought into the water and used to record both in and out of the water, fully submerged at a snorkeling depth of 3 feet or less.Clarity: these pouches do not even appear to be on when taking photos and videos. The clarity is uncanny.Durability: the pouches lasted a full 8 hours of boating along with approximately 2 hours of water time. They do seem like they will last a considerable amount of time.Issues: forward camera is not accessible for facial recognition. Don’t expect to unlock or authorize electronic payment using facial recognition while your phone is in the case. Phone can still be unlocked using your alternative method. Additionally, the side button can be challenging to manipulate. This can pose an issue for those who use the side buttons to take photos or videos, to lock the phone, or for other uses. I do not consider this a problem as I bought these pouches for their waterproof and floating properties. In these categories, the pouches are excellent!Money well spent!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I normally don't post reviews, but I had a bone head move using this product yesterday and I wanted share my experience. I am in Koror, Palau on a dive trip and I have been using 3 of these cases for phones/wallets on the dive boat (boat spray, rain, wet conditions) I have been taking pictures while in the case and overall it has been working great. The boat is a little tight for space so I have been hanging my phone in the case on the used air tanks. Yesterday, I made a mistake and hung it on an unused tank. Unbeknownst to me, one of the dive guides setup my BCD and placed it over the top of my phone hanging on the tank. After a 51 minute dive to a max depth of 69 ft and upon surfacing the dive guides noticed my phone in the case wrapped around my tank. When I got out of the water I was expecting the worst and was amazed to find my phone and the case was completely dry! What a great product thst saved my very expensive Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra!Waterproof:Extremely! Durability:Seems well built

I used the Pelican waterproof case to go snorkeling in the ocean and to go kayaking - both in the Florida summer heat. In the water, the waterproof pouch worked perfectly. No water leaked into the case and it floated with the phone inside. As other reviewers noted, underwater the touch screen doesn't work. i just programmed my phone camera to take a picture using the up volume button. That wasn't easy as the side of the case is padded and underwater it's hard to tell exactly where that little button is.I put my phone in the waterproof case while kayaking just in case I dropped it while trying to take pictures. It's hard to see the screen in sunlight to take pictures in the sunlight but I managed. I was also worried about quality of teh pictures through the plastic screen of the case, but that wasn't a problem either (see attached photo, taken with the case on). The problem comes with the summer sun shining on the plastic case. It heated up so much that my phone went into emergency mode b/c it overheated.So, while it's a good quality case and didn't leak underwater, the case can heat up quite a bit in sunlight and the touch screen is difficult (in sunlight) to impossible (in water) to use.

Bought these for a trip to Aruba and so glad I did!!! It worked great and there was NO water that got into the case. We went snorkeling with sea turtles and the clarity was great. I wore it around my neck and flipped it on my back while I swam and it floated behind my neck. I will say taking pictures underwater was a little difficult so I would hold it out of the water hit record, record what I wanted to take a picture of and take screen shots later.Still giving it 5 stars though because it did exactly as advertised.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really love this! It fits my iPhone 15 pro. It is sensitive to touch and lets me work on my phone as normal. It is. On the bigger side, but seems well sealed and easy to get in and out.

Works well and phone stays completely dry. Used this in a river and pool and touch screen/camera work like normal. Only thing I would say is try to get all the air out once the phone is inside to avoid any type of fogging inside. Once I got all the air out there was zero fogging around the camera lens.

Haven't taken it in the water yet, but, the wife finds it handy to keep her iPhone 13 in (though perhaps a bit big for her phone). Will update after a quick snorkel run. I got it, as Pelican has a great reputation, and it is IP68 rated, so, shoudl be submergeable for extended periods, as long as I don't take it too deep.

These are nice and sturdy and fit the iphone 16 WITH the case. They are good protection. The only issue is that they get SUPER hot. Make sure you keep them covered (under a shirt or towel) so you don't bake your phone. Also, I was hoping for better ability to photograph through these, but that was just a dream.
