20 Best Waterproof Iphone 8 Case (2023 Updated)

I have been using a LifeProof case for many years. I carry my phone in the pocket of my bathing suit at the beach. It has been a comfort knowing that it is waterproof and virtually damage proof. I would recommend this case to everyone.

I rated it a four because 4. 5-4. 8 are not available. Two minor issues prevent me from giving it a 5. First: I had to replace my first case. This was as esy as advertised. No hassle and friendly service.

I had the replacement spot quick. My disappointment came when I read a note provided with the replacement that informed me that I could not replace the second case if it failed the test of time as well.

The second case continued to protect my phone until I replaced my phone. This required a new case which I purchased immediatel on line. This brings me to my second minor issue. Second: My new case came in a case that didn’t appear new.

This isn’t an isuue more than a eyebrow raiser. I place my new phone into my case and was again comforted knowing it was protected. I discovered shortly after using the case that the ringer automatically turns off when placing the phone into the case.

This was resolved by carefully and precisely lining up the phone and sliding it in from left to right. Not a major issue since I won’t be opening the case again. It did take a few days and several attempts to figure this out.

A final concern is that the lid that covers the charging portal does not lock as tightly as either of my previous cases. This could be a problem when in the water so I will contact SafeProof today and see what they recommend.

Again, this is an exceptional product that provides peace of mind from damage due to water or dropping.

I’ve had lifeproof cases since they came out over 10 years ago. There was a significant decline in quality when they were acquired by otterbox, but but the fre was still the most protective case on the market (in my opinion).

These cases are great for the first 3 months, but they only last for about 3 months now before they start deteriorating. The cover over the home button comes unattached, the back bubbles out and causes shadows in pictures, the speaker won’t align properly with the hole so no one can hear you, if you can get the cover over the charging port to last more than 6 months, it’s a miracle.

I still have my case from 2012 on my old iPhone that I just use as an iPod now and it’s in better condition than my warranty replacement that I got 4 months ago. The only positive thing is that they haven’t gone up that much in price (if at all).

However, I’d much rather pay more for a product that actually works. At this point, I’m not even going to put in another claim because it’s not worth paying for the shipping.

This is my third LifeProof, and only because I’ve changed phones once and outlived the last one on the current phone. It absolutely lives up to its name. I drop my phone countless times, and my LifeProof has saved my screen from so much as cracking.

I used to have to take photos in the pouring rain (before Apple made a water-proof phone) and my LifeProof enabled me to do so without a ton of extra bulk while maintaining ease of use of the phone. I even once dropped my phone into a bucket of (water-based) paint and with a quick rinse, my LifeProof-encased phone was still in perfect working condition! Unfortunately, that rinse off led me to realize that water was able to seep in under the clear plastic square on the back that showcases the Apple logo.

I would rather have a wholly waterproof phone than show off a logo. Additionally, the part of the case that protects the side button to turn the screen on and off gets ground off fairly rapidly. I don’t know if it is because it is sticking out and made of a different material, but it is quickly worn down.

My biggest complaint is that when I try to use my phone to call people, the people on the other end have a very hard time hearing me when my phone is in its LifeProof case. Yes, there are work-arounds, but this seems like a pretty major issue for something that is supposed to be for a phone.

The only other (VERY minor) complaint I have is that the speaker covers fall off almost instantly. The customer service is phenomenal. When the gasket for the charge port door fell out of my prior case and I could not find it, the sent me a new one and were straightforward and easy to work with.

They responded extremely quickly and made it a pleasure to deal with them. Overall this case absolutely lives up to its name and claims and will protect your phone from the falls and drenches that are part of life, but it could use a few tweaks to be perfect.

I will continue to be a LifeProof customer and hope that they make little tweaks to continue to improve their product.

Areas of concern: 1. Design 2. Contruction 3. Camera 4. Materials/ Quality Design: the case is Plagued with issues from the start of ownership: 1. FaceID not working due to two useless plastic dots on the clear protective screen that could’ve been removed prior to shipment.

2. Impinged Button access! Extremely difficult to use even with time and age, even with a touch screen of an IPhone to have hindered use of the only buttons is an annoyance. 3. Sound: it’s to be expected the addition from a case would reduce the sound quality if you have owned a lifeproof case prior.

But this I can say it’s not good at all. 4. The fact of 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max were first to introduce MagSafe and now we are provide a case with it for the 13 Pro models is disappointment of opportunity.

Construction: Out the packaging I had issues with FaceID mentioned Above 1. And the seal or gasket moving during installation. An issue I never encountered in previous cases. 2. The existence of dust within the case question its abilities.

I find it quite tedious to retrieve my phone in order of removing dust. Keep in mind, I only perform wireless charging! Why not design a seal that presses against the body and the opening of the charge cable from the case to prevent dust from traveling with in the case once the charging cord port is open? Now for my circumstance dust intrusion is a mystery? Camera: No need to complain as it seems to be prevalent in fellow reviewers, but suggestions: 1.

Dust, as indicated above this is an issue and deal breaker. As dust within compound by collection on the exterior due to spaces and crevices round the lens. A suggestion found on competitors is a smooth camera area on the rear.

Materials: this is the primary source of my grievance!: 1. Heat: we are no stranger to science when plastic is introduced to heat. But an iPhone generation that introduces inductive (wireless) charging and a processor that is as powerful in comparison to computers six years ago.

To not anticipate the device not creating heat from the following action is a failure of product design. The cases reaction to heat is so extreme, it deforms the rear of the case creating a void providing a space between the screen protect an front of the iPhone making it difficult to hear conversations during phone calls! In all fairness I provided this information to customer service which they resent me a replacement case, this well intended gesture provides no recourse for the intended problem.

Competitors have solve this issue by making the rear of sturdier plastics with less reaction to heat.

Wanted a waterproof case for my iPhone and heard good things about this one. Bought it and used it in the pool. Great quality underwater for video and stills! My only reason for giving it a 4 star rating is because the plastic lens cover almost immediately showed scratches and wear on the blue film that covers it.

This makes for pics to be slightly blurry and not as sharp as it should be. Only the lens cover over the camera lenses shows scratches and rubbings, not anywhere else on the case itself which is odd as you would think since it’s slightly recessed from the case that the case would show markings of some sort.

I’ve used an Otterbox for years without this issue being this bad. I’ve read from other users who had the same experience going from Otterbox to Lifeproof. Someone used nail polish remover to get rid of the film which they said cleared it, but I don’t know if doing so affects the case underwater at that point.

I’m guessing it’s similar to scratch coating used on glasses but I’ll probably contact Lifeproof to get a replacement due to the cost paid. I’m going to get an Otterbox again to use when I know I won’t be needing it for underwater shoots.

This case is brilliant. My toddler can somehow find my phone anywhere, even if I could hide it on Mars, so I needed a good case. It keeps out all the monstrous amounts of dribble and handles being thrown across the room when he is no longer interested.

It will survive being used as a drum stick on the fridge, teething chew toy, speed bump for tonka trucks, digging tool in the sandpit and much much more. After purchasing mine, my husband and my 5 step kids have all followed in suit.

If it’s toddler proof, it will be anything proof.

Overall the case is fine, it looks good and seems to be a good protection. However; the screen seems to scratch easily and depending on the way you hold your phone the sound is sometimes distorted.

case is good but scree cover is not good , automatically cliking on the screen and doing on and off, screen is not good touch,some time reed and some time do not. I am not recommend this case.

Its not the genuine LifeProof case but the quality is just the same. Good product!

I thought I’d try a totally waterproof case this time. As it’s brand new, I have yet to put it through its paces. This is for my spare “travelling” iPhone I use while on holidays overseas so it will more than likely go for a swim at some point hence the need for a waterproof casing.

As per instructions, I submerged the empty case in water for 30 minutes prior to use and I can definitely say it is absolutely watertight. I like that it’s very light and slim fitting but the rear of the case material feels a bit cheap and plasticky.

Obviously it does what it’s supposed to so only time will tell how long it lasts. I also bought the OTTERBOX Defender case and can still say that protection and quality wise, the OTTERBOX rules! I didn’t give it 5 stars because it doesn’t feel as well built as the Otterbox.

Before I got a Lifeproof case I was bad about breaking my phone. Now I’ve had a flawless iPhone 8-plus since 2019. I take videos underwater with it. I use it in the shower for music. I’ve dropped my phone onto tile, concrete, and rocks multiple times and there’s not a scratch on it.

I have had to file two warranty claims, both times because the bottom latch fails, but the phone case lasts more than a year with much abuse and the warranty process is quick and easy. One issue with it being waterproof is that it is hard for the microphone to work well, meaning I have to take calls on speaker for the other person to hear me.

This case has been a phone-saver for me. If I ever get a new phone it will be because I want to not because mine broke.

This case broke on the first or second day that I used it. The little cover that snaps in and out of place to cover the charging port when not in use broke. I did not even notice when it broke, but the plastic was cracked and it fell right off.

I’m not sure if the plastic was brittle because the product was old and may have been stored under conditions that caused it to degrade? It may not be the vendor’s fault, but I did not have this problem with my previous case.

The little door on the bottom seemed to not fit snugly in the first place. It made me wonder if this was in a batch that had a defect? The switch that mutes and unmutes the phone also does not really work, even when I put effort into aligning it correctly.

Other versions of this case are good, but the one I bought was off.

In all honesty I thought the case would be aesthetically displeasing, but was I wrong!! I have product red and with the lime green this phone is so visually attractive I almost don’t want to disturb it! haha.

As to the construction of the case, I work on a farm and have had horses crush phones. With this case, I really don’t feel scared. Had dropped it on rocks, horse shoes, and just the other day I saw the phone fall on it’s corner in the trailer.

I twitched at first, but literally not even a scratch. surprised in the best way! Don’t have evidence of supporting the weight of a horse yet. But at some point I guarantee it will happen at some point in the future.

Will follow up when it does with status of phone! Great product, hands down. @LifeProof, add Farming to Interest Tags below?.

Below is my evaluation and review of the Plantronics Backbeat FIT 350 earbud headset. I would like to indicate that my opinions contained in this review are strictly mine and were not influenced by Plantronics.

The Backbeat product arrived in a beautifully package consisting of an attractive outer sleeve and is a tight fit with an internal “box”, not cardboard, but “paperfoam”, so it should be more earth friendly.

The box contains the Plantronics Backbeat FIT 350, instruction and disclaimer paperwork, and a small black cloth satchel. The box is well- formed to package their internal contents, just mentioned. The product paperwork and satchel are packaged within a black cardboard wrapper which folds over and encompasses the paperwork and satchel.

It seems to be a pretty innovative and an attractive way to package the aforementioned contents. The black cloth satchel, when removed from the cardboard wrapper and unfolded, reveals that the satchel is a small bag with a very nice drawstring.

This allows the bag to be closed. The drawstring is an elastic string, with a plastic retainer on the end serving as both a pull handle, and as a clip to keep the drawstring drawn, thereby closing the satchel bag.

The satchel bag itself seems to be a pretty high quality cloth bag as well. It practice, this satchel is to serve to contain and protect the headset. Contained within the satchel are a short USB cord, used for charging the Plantronics, and small plastic bag containing a small and a large set of earpieces for matching the Plantronics headset to different user ear sizes, should the medium earpiece set, installed on the Plantronics not fit.

The Plantronics Backbeat FIT 350 earbud device: Well made. The earpieces are made of a soft silicone and seems to seal the ear openings in a comfortable way. The loops help to keep the earpieces in the ear.

The wire connecting the 2 earpieces to the control unit, I am pleased to report seems to be pretty robust and should wear well. Other earbuds, use think electrical wiring with just plastic insulation, and tends to break either at the loop, or where it enters the control unit.

The Plantronics uses a cloth sleeve with the electrical wiring inside and I believe this should reduce the chance of wire breaks. Also, the wiring has a small clip which can be used to clip the earbuds to a shirt collar, offering some protection should the earbuds fall off the ears, though it is probably unlikely.

When playing music, the sound quality appears to be good, though I think it tends to be more skewed to the higher frequencies, more base is needed. When used to receive phone calls, I find that the sound appears to be low in volume.

The volume has to be turned up quite high on the phone to acceptable hear the person on the other end of the call. Other, earphone pieces I have, as the Plantronics Voyager 5200 have better volume compared to this device.

I have not had a chance to test the earbuds when making phone calls in a windy or noisy environment. I suspect, the microphone would pick up the noise. The Voyager 5200 is specifically designed to filter them the noise, so I expect the Backbeat FIT 350 to not perform as well.

But, for music, I think this earbud is pretty good. The negative I have is that the instructions should be better written. There are features which should be explained for those who may not have used wireless earbuds before.

Overall, however, the Plantronics Backbeat FIT 350 is a quality earbud and should provide the user with excellent service for quite some time.

You asked what I love about my new Lifeproof case. I LOVE that two days ago, while working outside on my porch I dropped my phone on the concrete floor. It fell pretty hard but when I picked it up, not a scratch on the case or a crack on the phone and it worked perfectly! That is something to love! I also love that the case was easy to install on my phone, no video needed.

(And in case it helps someone one else to know; I am a 79 yr old female with a touch of arthritis and no special skills!) I read the reviews before purchasing the case and many said the buttons on their phones were hard to push once the case was on, but I have not encountered that at all with mine.

The case makes the phone less slippery and easier and more comfortable to hold. I love that too! Have had the case about a month now and so far these are the things I love about it! I had my last Lifeproof case on a 4s for 7 years and it was great, expecting this will be too! Obviously I won’t be skateboarding or doing double flips with it, but there is a lot of concrete on my walks! :)).

This actually works. I tried it in the sink put my iPhone into it and submerged the case in water for a hour and not one bit of water got in. This is a excellent buy highly recommended this to anyone looking for a water proof case.

Thanks to the guys at Freddys one happy customer.

I have had one for a while so bought this one for my partner. They do exactly what they say, protect your phone from water. You can use the phone through the plastic but I take it out. Useful for kayaking worn, on the lanyard supplied, around neck.

Great bit of kit but check you get correct size!.

This is a good product. Haven’t completely submerge tested it in action, but it did very well in a test in the kitchen sink! Only downside is the way in which the case is attached to the sealing unit looks a little flimsy, and possibly vulnerable to a big, clumsy paddler like me.

I can’t say if the pouch works or not as far as keeping my phone dry. It stayed in the kayak this time! I was able to take pictures and videos while out for a moonlight run and they came out great. This alone made me feel like this was a good investment since my phone did what I needed it to do.

As my last phone went swimming in the river, I did appreciate the peace of mind from having this pouch and my new phone is water resistant. I think my phone will be good from here on out.

The strap is long enough to put over my shoulder but not long enough to wear cross-body. The pouch seems sturdy and closes securely. I felt O brining my cell kayaking in this, not planning to submerge.

Excellent for going someplace to swim and leaving it with my towel, no worries about the phone getting splashed.

I got this for a canoe trip. We went swimming unexpectedly. We were in the water for a few minutes as we sorted things out. Later we checked the phone and there was no moisture at all. The phone was still usable while in the pouch.

Really great case. I have been a loyal Otter Box user for years but, I was not happy with the last one I owned due to poor quality construction and the price keeps going up. I decided to look for a better solution an I found it in CASEBUS.

Really happy with the fit and construction! It looks great, feels great and really protects my investment. Can’t say enough good about this case. I hope this review helps someone on the fence. It’s a great case.

Thank you!.

Love this case! Affordable, quality, and functional! The materials used are very sturdy, especially the piece for the charging port. This case hugs the phone perfectly. I’ve dropped it a few times and no problems- definitely does the job! The perfect case! Also love that it’s clear to show off the color of the phone.

This phone case is so durable! The black classic color design allows me to match this case with everything. It is so easy to press the buttons, the audio is very clear and the charging port works while my phone is in the case.

I love that this phone case protects my phone from all the elements of dust, dirt, water, and snow. I’m constantly dropping my phone so I appreciate that this case exceeds Military Grade Protection. My favorite feature is the added wristlet to this case which makes carrying my phone very convenient.

Overall, I LOVE this phone case and I can already tell it’s going to last for a long time.

This is a good phone cover! it is slim, dust proof and claims to be waterproof. It’s easy to put on your cell phone. The control buttons are sealed and the lightning port has a sturdy protective flap.

I always had a difficult time manipulating the sound switch on the side of the iPhones. This cover has a small dial that you turn to control the sound. It’s very convenient. I was standing on some marble benches taking pictures with my new iPhone, when it slipped from my hand.

I have had a cell phone for over 20 years and only dropped one on one other occasion. I figured at the very least the screen would be cracked because this phone bounced off a marble bench and skidded along the sidewalk, before coming to rest more than 15 feet away.

I couldn’t believe it. There was absolutely no damage to my cell phone and remarkably no damage to the cell phone case! I am very satisfied with the cost of the product and the protection it provides to my cell phone.

I was shocked when I received this product. I performed the water test using a paper towel, and when I took the case out of the water after it being submerged for 5 minutes (probably longer than that) and the paper towel was COMPLETELY dry, I KNEW I could trust this product! I have had zero problems with it so far.

The only issue I can find with it is that it is a little difficult to ensure that the seal on the back is complete. You have to go over the phone a couple times to make sure it is. Other than that, there are no issues with this case.

I give it a 9/10.

It looks good, It arrived in a few days, I haven’t tried it in the water, as at the moment I have no intention of using it underwater. It has the camera and screen protected, now I will have to know over time whether it works with accidental drops.

I recommend.

A really quality product. Tried for 20 minutes underwater with a paper inside, after finishing the test the paper is completely dry. Recommended 100%.

Looks high-quality case. Buttons cover all the work, and screen response is normal. Needs checking in water, as well as written instructions.

I got this case same day as the phone. The Slam popped right on with ease and the volume, Bixby, and power buttons all work as expected. Charger port, speaker port, audio jack, and fingerprint sensor all are easily accessible with Samsung components.

My only issue with the Slam is with the audio jack port being to small to work with some aftermarket cables (such as the 3. 5 mm to RCA cable I use everyday to plug into auxiliary speakers). I am sure this issue is specific to 1% us out there, but a SLIGHTLY larger audio port would easily accept most of larger diameter input jacks.

The case does NOT come off easily so I will either: A) upgrade to a Bluetooth stereo system or B) bore out the existing hole approximately 1/8″ to accept my RCA cable or C) try to hunt down a slimmer RCA cable.

Great product, does what it is designed to do, but has specific application flaws. Final grade: A-.

I read the reviews on this case before buying and I was very hesitant because some reviews mentioned the front rubber part would change colors. The color I selected has light grey so it does show dirt from the handling.

I took a wipe and cleaned the dirt off of mine and have not had any other issues so far. Only had it a couple of weeks at this point. I love how the case feels in my hand and looks great. Love these particular colors.

Wish the other cases had the same colors. I purchased the Slam based mainly on the colors. Didn’t like the other colors on the other products. No complaints on the product (yet 🙂 ).

I’ve had the case for a month or so. Getting out of the car with the phone in my hand. I dont know exactly what I did but the phone took flight and bounced a few times on the driveway. I thought to myself here’s test number 1.

Picked it up and not a scratch on it,, the face of the phone was fine. I’m very happy with this new cover, highly recommended!!.

For anyone that is around water, uses their phone while brushing their teeth (or other things), or that has small children, the promise of a waterproof case is ideal! The instructions for the Body Glove waterproof iPhone 11 case walk the user through testing, and as promised, the item inside was dry when removed.

Placing the phone in the case is straightforward, and it is ease to identify where there may still be openings. Overall, the case delivers on being waterproof. However, the functionality of the touch screen is impeded, particularly around the edges.

Even for buttons or links in the middle of the screen, I have to be extra deliberate in the action, in order for the phone to recognize the action. So the utility of the case comes down to how critical the waterproof feature is.

While I have small kids, the protection is most important. But I imagine there will come a time when that protection is less important to me, and I switch to a different case.

My new Body Glove Tidal Waterproof Case fits my iPhone 12 Pro Max like a glove. Swapping out my old case for this new one was simple and straightforward. It does not add any bulk to my phone or hide its features like color choice or artwork.

The buttons for volume and screen off work excellent. I love that all of my camera lenses are protected and not obscured in any way. I really enjoy the confidence I now have to take my iPhone anywhere including the pool and beach without worry of water damage, allowing me to fully enjoy my fun and stream music, access apps, or check in on smart features around my home while lounging in my pool.

The difference is night and day from water resistant compared to the new Body Gloves water proof safety protection. Truly take your phone wherever you go, we do it anyways, but this case will assure the safety from water related conditions.

I 100% recommend this Body Glove Case, and it looks great too! Thanks @HTC @HOMETESTERCLUBNA.

I had been a pretty loyal user of another iPhone case for years, so I was skeptical about trying a new one. I am so glad I did! Not only was the Body Glove Tidal case easy to install, it has surpassed my expectations in so many ways that I am going to keep using it for the lifetime of my iPhone! First of all, it is truly waterproof.

I did not intentionally drop my phone into the bathtub or anything like that, but I do cook with my phone nearby and it has survived a ton of water, oil, and dirt exposure with the Body Glove – completely unscathed.

Also, the screen protector is so much better than my previous one. It’s “shinier”, but in a completely positive way – I can see my screen so much better than before, especially at night. Finally, the most pleasant surprise of all – the lanyard! It’s flexible, strong, and super easy to use.

I’ve tied it to my purse, clothing, you name it – and it’s exactly where it needs to be when I’m ready to use it.

My grandson (a big Buckeye fan) loved the case (so did his parents) as this was his first cell phone and he is 10 years old. We all felt the OtterBox is the best protection for his new phone and being a big Buckeye Fan he loved it.

First of all, when I received the cases, they were cloudy and dirty, not clear at all. The case worked perfectly as a cards/money holder while I was in the water. However, it didn’t work as a waterproof camera case because I couldn’t press the buttons of my phone in the water and whatever I took was blurry.

I had no idea what I was taking in the water as I couldn’t see anything on my phone screen through the cloudy case. I got my husband another Ariza waterproof case and he experienced exactly the same thing.

I have had too many phones go down because of my hot tub. Every few months I forget my phone is in my pocket and its too late! The other issue I have is trying to look at my phone while in the hot tub, its so hard to keep it dry etc.

Finally I decided to buy one of these protective devices. There are so many on the market I died on this one because of the price. I am 100% satisfied, you can even use the phone while its in the case, send texts, check emails etc.

The materials are high quality and its well made too. I have no problem recommending this product which will actually help you.

I bought this a month ago, I’ve only ever use life proof case is the 12 years I’ve had Apple products, the case I had before purchasing this one was a clear hard shell life proof case. I had it for two years and it was no longer usable so I ordered the FRE case because that’s the only super protective case that they carry now for iPhone XR which really upset me because I liked having my clear plastic case so that I could put anything on the inside of it and make it look like my own case, I put Polaroids and stickers in it so it looked really cool.

Now I can’t do it with the FRE. I didn’t want this case but I’m not eligible for a new phone yet so I had to do what I had to do. Definitely not worth the hundred dollars I spent on it. My friends can’t hear me when I’m on the phone with them because the speaker is so muffled from the “ waterproof technology” when I play videos off of my phone it sounds like my phone is underwater.

I have not put my phone in water to test the case, so there would be no water in my speakers. I just wish I could’ve got the case I had before because this one has given me tons of issues. It’s not easy to use.

I don’t like having to open the bottom flap to charge my phone, I didn’t buy this case because I wanted the waterproof technology I bought it because I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t crack my screen, the last case I had didn’t have the jack where the charger port is, or the screen protector over the phone, but I never had an issue with my phone shattering or cracking when I dropped it with my last case.

I just wish they still made the model of case that I used to have because this one sucks. This FRE case was the first one that I ever purchased for my iPhone four and I can continue to buy another one when I got my iPhone 6.

I’ve had this case before and I liked it but this one I have at the moment I do not like at all.

I LOVE ANYTHING LIFEPROOF MAKES AND CARRIES ESPECIALLY THE COLORS OF CASES SUCH!!!! I’ve been through multiple Lifeproof cases over the past 10 years nothing bad I can really say honestly!! This is my current case I have right now it is the ———-Lifeproof iPhone 6/6s Case FRĒ-Banzai Blue Color Name : Banzai (Blue / Teal / Green) With the FRĒ WaterProof iPhone 6 iPhone 6s case, you’re free to take your tech into every soggy, muddy, hard-knock adventure.

WATERPROOF | DROPPROOF | DIRTPROOF | SNOWPROOF -Shields Ports, Mics Speakers -360º Protection with a Built-In Screen-Cover -Sealed from Water, Dirt, Snow Debris -Survives Drops from 2 Meters Submersible for 1 Hour What’s In The Box: FRĒ iPhone 6/6s Case Headphone Adaptor /Microfiber Cloth Stickers/ Instruction Manual.

So far so good. I received my phone case over a week ago, but just didn’t get round to actually fitting it. I tried my phone in the case, just to see whether it fitted. I had to fiddle to get the thing open, but it was stuck fast (I thought I’d missed a catch).

It then opened, something sticky was stopping it, but once open it was fine, and my phone fitted well, as if it was made for it 🙂 I’ve now been out for a ride, and I have to say the handlebar fixing is rock solid, with no shaking at all.

The security strap where it wraps round whatever part of handlebars etc. you secure it to, is nice a thick, however, if the mounting does give was, I’m not sure the catch or thin string attached to the case will hold; hope I never have to test it out! All the vloggers I’ve see using Ultimate Addons, TeapotOne, Richyvida & andymancam, don’t even seem to use the safety strap so I guess the mounting won’t give any trouble.

My only real niggle with the ready to go pack, is the power lead. It would be great if the usb lead came with a fused and switchable battery connection and not just a phone-usb plug, okay if you have a socket, but I haven’t.

Only a minor niggle, but when you’re paying £50+postage 🤔 but maybe I’m expecting too much! I’m looking forward to many miles with this product; it’s handy when using a satnav on a journey if you can see where it’s taking you, rather than just listening.

After a lot of research for a fully waterproof case that would enable me to use my phone as a sat nav on my bike in all weathers I chose this product and it appears to have been a good choice. Well designed and robust, and easy to attach/detach.

Touch screen remains fully usable. Looks pretty good too.

The old saying you get what you pay for! Yes its a bit pricey but for its so much better value than some of the cheaper ones which Ive purchased in the past. If youre serious about protecting your phone from the elements and physical damage this is for you.
