20 Best Waterproof Bag For Phone (2023 Updated)

This is a great product and I bought 2 of them. We took them underwater to take great photos and so we could keep cash dry. It will fit my Note 4 and then some. I would buy more but I only have 2 phones.

No real cons.

Amazing product! I was thoroughly impressed with how easy to use it is and how functional my phone stays when it’s in the sleeve, I am able to do almost everything that I can normally do! As you can see in the photo, I used the user guide to test how effective it is (Since I needed my phone to take a picture) and the paper came out completely dry after fully submerging it in liquid.

I will definitely be taking this along with me to the beach and even on hikes, as the sleeve comes with a strap that can easily hook on to my backpack. Very satisfied!.

Absolutely perfect for my iPhone 13 Mini. Crystal clear photos through the case too. Good job Pelican, and thank you Case-Mate!

These work great, just as advertised. Recommend buying a lanyard or something to clip to them if you’re doing anything high-risk like swimming in a lake, etc as they don’t float. They do have a place you can clip to.

I got this so I could take my phone to the water. I’ve extended its use for long motorcycle trips too especially if I expect rain or dust. It’s hard to get my Samsung A21 while it’s in a case (Otter Box type) into or out of the pouch but if you are patient it will.

5 stars for being waterproof and I could still take excellent pictures through the plastic. As long as there isn’t grime like sunscreen smudges on the plastic (not VB’s fault, people!). When I first tested this product without having taken it through the ocean water and pool experiences, I could get the phone to recognize my fingerprint through the plastic to unlock the phone.

After using the pouch and exposing it to pool water, ocean water, sun and heat and body product grime, the plastic still was sensitive for the touchscreen for all purposes, except for the fingerprint recognition.

I used this pouch every day for 8 days in the Bahamas. It was great for keeping my phone waterproof, but was quite uncomfortable to wear around the neck when I’m out of the water walking around. The length is great, but the lanyard cuts into my neck with the weight of the phone (7.

3 oz). It might be helpful to make a padded or cushioned area where the lanyard rests around the neck. The only other suggestion I have would be to make the plastic encasement larger. I have a pixel 6.

It only fits without the phone case on it. Beware, any larger phone will not fit into this pouch.

Just FYI. I have the Google Pixel 6 phone and it fits in this pouch without the case. I can still use my fingerprint to unlock the phone through the clear plastic. Pictures look decent through the plastic.

I like how the lanyard isn’t so long, so the phone is at just the right level on my body (I’m 5′). I cannot yet attest to the waterproof qualities.

I’ve bought several waterproof camera pouches in the past and thought these were cute. I’m a Vera Bradley fan but these are just too small. I have one of the thinnest cases on a phone you can have and it would not fit in pouch and close.

I bought 2 of these and it was a waste of money. Most leave more room in consideration of the case on the phone.

Initially difficult to get open, keeps phone dry. Picture quality is okay, difficult to get low light shots, fine for outdoor shots. Fairly easy to keep clean, but wish it included a cleaning solution and rag.

I did not try for underwater pictures, so can’t comment on that.

Seems like this product may be trying to do too many things, some of which are not necessarily useful, and not doing any of them really well. It’s a good try on some levels, but overall not a successful product in its current form factor.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 with an OtterBox Commuter Series hard case, and I use a tempered glass screen protector. That case affords great general protection (including drop and scratch protection).

The Phoozy promises drop protection, heat/cold protection and therefore preservation of battery life in tough outdoor conditions, and it floats. Upon receipt, I was surprised at how large the Phoozy is.

It’s quite light in weight, but it is bulky, and eliminates the possibility of carrying in a pocket. I guess the Phoozy is not really for carrying around in normal conditions for everyday use, but something you would use for outdoor activities and stash or strap to a pack, so it makes some sense.

Next I inserted my phone (in its case) into the Phoozy. It was not immediately clear to me with the black interior exactly how to insert. I could see there was a ‘divider’ but couldn’t really tell the difference between what turned out to be the ‘pocket’ vs.

the main compartment. After a couple trial and error attempts, and it not fitting into the pocket, I slid it into the main compartment, but it was a very tight fit. It’s supposed to fit the phone models listed, with cases, but I would say if you wanted to use the Phoozy with a hard case you should buy the larger Phoozy.

With the phone so tight in there, very little fit into the pocket. I personally don’t find that pocket useful anyway. I don’t really need another place for ID, credit cards and cash as I already have better solutions for that than this.

The phone was hard to get in and out quickly because it was such a tight fit. Next thing that is very obvious, is that while it is clear that the Phoozy floats, it is also clear that it is not sealable and therefore not waterproof.

Personally, I do not get the point of this. Why not go a small step further and make the case sealable on the open end so it is waterproof? I mean, it closes with Velcro and is plenty open up top for water to get in.

I feel like I’d still have to seal my phone in a ziploc the way I usually do. I was not able to test the Phoozy’s ability to keep the phone cool in the heat, however since I was in northern Indiana in the dead of winter when I received it, I was able to see how it performed in the cold.

I thought it did a good job. I had the Phoozy in my backpack and the phone inside. And when I opened it after being outside, everything else in the pack was really cold, and the outside of the Phoozy was cold, but the phone was not cold at all.

So the insulating properties really did work for the hour or so I was out. Overall, this is not a product I personally find useful; this does not mean that it wouldn’t be useful for some people who do certain activities where it might be more relevant.

I just don’t think it’s necessary beyond a normal case and a ziploc bag, and considering the list price I would never purchase this product (as you can see I received the product for free to use and test and then provide an honest review).

I feel like aspects of this product are interesting but in total it isn’t worth the money or the bulk.

I’m a sucker for travel gear and accessories, so the XP-3 pouch was enticing to look at. The design is simple, with clean aesthetics. It provides ample padded protection against luggage jostling and everyday-type drop risks.

Took it on a 6-hour boat excursion in 100-degree heat and had zero issue with phone temp at the end of the day. Also went well on a 2-hour kayak run at 85 degrees, same result. Biggest wish for this product would be waterproofing.

As currently designed and disclosed by Phoozy, once dropped in water, fluid will get inside because of the hook & loop (i. e. Velcro) closure. With heavy use, that hook & loop will eventually loosen a bit and the water resistance will be further diminished.

As it was, brand new out of the box, I wasn’t willing to toss the pouch, with my current phone inside, into the lake as a test. A pouch like this that offers flexible, padded protection, temperature resistance, and floatability is a fine idea, but until it’s 100% waterproof, not sure it’s worth the money to do what can already be done by keeping your phone out of the sun, in a protected pocket or padded compartment of some other gear piece you already own.

The PHOOZY insulated pouch seems well-suited for skiing, winter hiking, and outdoor activities in the colder months. It is very light-weight & feels like the insulation would keep the cold from draining your battery.

You do have to be careful with it in the warmer months as they advise not leaving your phone in the pouch while in the sun or in a vehicle for too long due to the risk of overheating. I put my phone in the pouch which I placed in my backpack, and my phone did fine.

The pouch did a good job of protecting against any scratches. It is a cushion & not a hard case, so I think it would protect from a low-level fall, but obviously not completely crash-proof. They say that it floats if you drop it in the water, but I did not test it.

Although, it seems like it would. Size-wise, my Galaxy S9 with a thin case on it fit snugly in the pouch without issue. The velcro seal stayed has stayed closed without worry, and there are 3 loops of webbing on the outside if you want to thread a belt or clip it.

Overall, it’s a little extra protection for a phone which can cost upwards of $1,000 these days so, not a bad investment especially for snow/winter excursions.

As a sailor, I have gone thru a ridiculous array of waterproof iphone carriers, and while most of them manage to keep out water, they have uniformly been a royal pain to actually use. You have to remove your regular case each time, and then invest in another when you get a different phone.

Or deal with the sticky difficulty of getting the encased iPhone in and out of a waterproof envelope. Or deal with an annoyingly oversized pouch hanging round your neck interfering with every move you make.

The Runoff has addressed all of these issues. Just large enough to fit an array of iphone sizes, with a band to keep the phone from shifting, smartly with some depth to it also for a roomy fit without keeping the phone in a death grip, a small stretchy inner pocket to keep money or a card from moving around and blocking your camera at the wrong moment, and a secure zipper instead of those insanely awful twist lock, or easy-to-fatally-seal-incompletely zip lock closures.

The lanyard is adjustable and soft on the neck, and removable. This just may finally be the perfect case. At last.

I got this phone case as a gift and I love it. It protects my Iphone as I am kayaking or beaching. It keeps the water and sand off my phone. However, what makes it really great is that I can scroll and take pictures without removing my phone from the case.

Also there is a slot for my license and a credit card and the zipper seals the case perfectly. I love it so much I gifted two cases to friends. Great case and my Iphone 13 Pro fits perfectly.

This is a outstanding product, lightweight, waterproof and durable. Anyone that is Camping, Kayaking, Hiking, etc. this is a must have for your phone ! I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it ! Thank you.

I used this waterproof bag while swimming and snorkeling. Everything inside stayed dry, my iPhone and cloth wallet were completely dry after daily use while on vacation for two weeks. This bag was roomy and strong.

I’ve used other “waterproof” bags that leaked or worked for a short time until the thin plastic tore from opening and closing the bag. I highly recommend this item.

Bought this last weekend in Chattanooga to put my things in while floating down the river. Less than an hour went to get my phone to take pictures and it wouldn’t even turn on. IPhone label was red from water damage, along with everything else that I had in the bag.

Had to buy new phone today. Bought 4 of them and everyone’s stuff got soaked, not just mine. Don’t waste the money.

This product is a great dry bag for SUP, kayaking and boating in general. It has an extra pocket for extra protection for your phone with a window for accessibility. Works great for taking a wallet or other small items.

There is a carry strap, over the shoulder strap and it is easy to securely clip it onto a something (SUP/lifevest/kayak) with the existing clips.

I was so excited for this product. I don’t like taking my phone out on the water unless I know it’s protected. This bag looked like it would do the trick. I went kayaking on a river and my kayak flipped twice.

After the 2nd flip I checked my phone. A notification was saying there was moisture detected in the charging port so I looked and there was a small puddle inside the bag. I was thinking maybe it was just the phone area since it has a zip lock seal for extra protection to your phone, but the other compartment that held my keys had water in it as well.

A good solution for taking phone kayaking. Using an iPhone it is fairly easy to use the phone , take photos , text , check maps. Fingerprint ID not possible but otherwise can use phone fairly normally.

A bit awkward as expected but was pleasantly surprised at ease of phone use. Haven’t submerged phone yet but splashproof and looks like it is well sealed if it goes in the water.

This waterproof case split only after a few uses of it. My phone is within the size range of what they recommend for this case, and I was very careful with putting my phone in and out of it. It split on the side so it can’t be fixed unless I put strong waterproof tape to seal it.

If it didn’t break, I would have considered this a good product.

Tried this for the first time at the beach on Christmas day. It keeps the sand out and away from the phone. The phone screen is clearly visible and you can still answer messages or calls and swipe the screen through the cover.

Am very impressed. I did not wear it into the water so don’t know whether it does what is stated, however I do think it will keep the phone dry if using it in wet weather simply because absolutely no sand or sea spray got into the pouch.

This thing is amazing! I took it snorkeling and swimming and not a drop of water got in. I was able to open it while in the water and refill it without a problem. It’s also a great device to put your phone in and take underwater.

You can do videos underwater if you want but you have to start The video prior to submerging the phone because it will not respond to your touch underwater.

I purchased this to use on vacation for something I wanted to record, but it had to be hands free. The video record through the case clearly and sound is picked up as well. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is it takes a little extra time getting your phone in and out, but that may just be me being picky.
