Re: Which waterproof phone case?

I’ve been using Lifeproof Fre cases on my iPhones in the last few years. I leave mine on all the time now. Doesn’t add much weight or volume. Waterproof. If the screen protector gets very wet, the touch screen tends to lose sensitivity. Cases to suit most models.

Re: Which waterproof phone case?

I found the waterproof case that I had a nuisance as it reduced screen sensitivity so much. I'm now using Noaks bags for very wet things like packrafting. They are just tougher ziplock bags but should last for ages and waterproof down to -10m (apparently). Otherwise normal ziplock bags seem to work well and you can wrap your phone in clingfilm to keep minor damp off it while you are using it.

Re: Which waterproof phone case?

Wrap your iPhone in two or three layers of cling film; it works superbly, costs next to nothing - important if you are a northerner - and the sensitivity of touching the screen is not lost. It is lightweight and the material is almost the same as the secondary double glazing sheets used by many a Trailstar/ tarp owner as a porch ground sheet, possibly not as durable, but then you are not going to be sitting on your phone.

Re: Which waterproof phone case?

Thank you for all your advice!

Re: Which waterproof phone case?

Hi Lindy
I tried an Aquapac case last year and didn't like it at all: clunky fastening and it filled up with condensation if any moisture got in. I am going to go back to an Aloksak, which I had always used previously, as sold by Uncle Bob among others.

Re: Which waterproof phone case?

Cat s41 phone.
No case needed.
Waterproof to 1.8m underwater. :grinning:
