Razobws 2-Pack Waterproof Phone Pouch, IPX8 Travel Essentials Accessories and Phone Case for Swimming Holiday Vacation Beach Kayak, Dry Bag for iPhone 15 14 13 12 11 Plus Pro Max Galaxy
From the brand
Price us really cheap for set of 2. Also phone fits great. Still possible to use touchscreen. Was trying to test it in the bath. No complains case is really waterproof. So I am happy to have it for our upcoming holiday. It is great for going to the beach, because keep phone safe not only from water, but also from sand. Recommend it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 phone and while I got my phone in, it was a bit of a squeeze and thus slower and harder work than the other larger pouch I tested. It allows you to operate the touch screen but swiping didn’t work for me. The important bit is it seemed easy to get it watertight and you can tell because it is also airtight when fastened up. I went kayaking with it and it was subject to multiple heavy drenchings but was bone dry inside. Effective for this use case, but be careful sizing wise.
I used this for my pool pictures on holiday and it kept my phone perfectly dry and the pictures still came out clear! The touch screen is a little bit hard to press but for a few moments in the water, it’s absolutely fine.
This is one of several similar or even identical products available on Amazon. I’ve reviewed another similar product and not found any notable difference.
What I like:
– Truly water-proof (tested submerged for several hours in stable conditions, but not at 30ft deep).
– Easy to use: Simple double closure mechanism.
– One-piece product: everything is “connected” and together (other than the lanyard). So, no risk to lose pieces.
– Feels sturdy: Thick transparent plastic pouch; strong closures.
– Fits our phones that are of different sizes (i-Phone, Samsung and LG).
– Most modern mobile telephones use capacitive touch screens, and the plastic of this pouch is thin enough to use the touch screen.
– Good and strong lanyard.
– Caters for other items (passport, money, etc.) and uses (e.g. trekking, skiing, …).
– With enough air in it, the pouch floats.
What I don’t like:
– Other identical products are cheaper, maybe owing to a discount campaign, but cheaper nonetheless.
Thoughts:
– The manufacturer states that this is a seamless construction. It’s erroneous because there are soldered seams at the bottom of the case. But, they are minimal and also help to protect the corners of the pouch from erosion.
– I would not take this down to several meters deep because the pressure may push water into the pouch. – But, for protection at the beach, on a boat or when walking, it’s sufficient.
Be aware:
– If you are near sand or dust, ensure that it does not get in the seam, which could compromise the water-proofing capability of this product.
– If you allow too much air in the pouch before locking it closed, it will be difficult to press on the screen of the phone.
– Activating and using the screen is not as easy as without the pouch, particularly when your fingers or the environment is cold.
– Not suitable for underwater photography, in my opinion. The quality of your pictures may not be as good as without the pouch or when using a waterproof photographic case. I’d worry about water pressure too.
– Any moisture inside the case must be removed.
– Risks of condensation inside the case are possible. I’ve put a bag of silica inside my cases to reduce that risk (I take it out after I’ve used the pouch and dry it with a hair-dryer before putting it back into the pouch — ensure beforehand that it’s not hot).
These waterproof phone pouches are handy to throw over your phone to take a walk on the beach and not get splashes or sand on your phone.
I don’t hold confidence on perhaps dropping my phone in the sea and my phone keeping dry. I feel water would find a way to seep in.
But defo a good way to keep items sand and splash free.
I think with regular use they might not last as the plastic pouch pockets are fused together and with regular wear and tear might come apart.
You get two of these phone pouches for the advertised price..
Each one has a strap that can be put around the neckthis clips onto the phone pouch easily
The pouch is waterproofclear plastic with a lock-able top to stop water from entering..
You can still use the phone whilst it’s in the pouch.
Pouch is big enough for most phones I have an android phone is fits perfect.
Recommend these if going to beach as will stop sand getting into phone
I got these pouches to protect our phones during a recent visit to the beach. We have iPhone 15s, with cases, which both fit nicely in the pouches; although it was a little snug. We weren’t intending to submerge the the phones so didn’t test the punches for their water tightness, we wanted peace of mind in case of splashes as well as protection against sand damage – these pouches worked really well for that.
These waterproof phone pouch is a lifesaver for pool days with the kids. I was initially unsure if it would hold up, but it proved me wrong. It keeps my phone dry and secure, allowing me to enjoy worry-free splashing around. At 9.99, it’s a steal for the peace of mind it brings. I’m crossing my fingers for its durability in the long run, but for now, it’s an essential part of our poolside adventures. Recommended!
This 2 pack of waterproof phone pouches are a clever idea and great for the likes of Water Parks, Outdoors and Sports, Beaches and Pools. Last year my teenage son returned from a seaside trip with his friends, all doom and gloom because sand and water had entered his phone and rendered it useless. We since invested in these handy pouches to keep subsequent phones safe for all the family for when we venture on a day out, especially useful for water parks but theme parks aswell to free up your hands to enjoy the rides and no risk of your phone dropping or falling from a distance.
It is advised to test the pouches every time before using following the simple step by step instructions on the packaging but the pouches are clearly very well constructed to offer a safe, reliable and waterproof containment. The accompanying lanyards are also of strong quality and match in colour with the pouch.
I liked these bags. Perfect for swimming without leaving my phone behind. My iPhone tolerates some water but I would rather add an extra layer of protection.
My aim is to protect the phone not only from water but also from sand that can get in the charging connector or the jack port.
These bags do the job brilliantly and it will last the entire holiday.
I have a Samsung A21s, which has a 6.5″ screen, and – with a folder type case fitted – it JUST fits (and can be removed), as long as I have the front of the case folded to the back of the phone and the magnetic tab tucked between the case layers. With the case closed, the closure tab makes it very hard to remove the phone from the pouch and I’d be concerned about putting strain on the seam at the top of the pouch and reducing its watertightness. As it is, it is still quite hard to get the phone and case out of the pouch. If I had only a back cover for the phone, there would be plenty of room for it. Obviously, without a case, this would take a bigger phone (I’d say, uncased, up to a 7″ screen phone would fit – I don’t know if phones go above this, but if they do, I doubt they’d go in this pouch!).
To be honest, they don’t look like anything much. A lot of plastic (including the carabiner clip), but this does make some sense, given that it’s designed for immersion in water – including seawater, which would either rust a cheaper steel, or bump the price up if using a high grade steel that wouldn’t degrade with use. The lanyard is of good width and thickness.
Having successfully tested with water, which I felt only determined their water resistance in very shallow water, where there’s no pressure that might breach the seal, I did an airtight test as well, blowing them up slightly and applying some reasonable pressure to the pouch, to see if any air was expelled (which may have indicated that they could leak if taken into deeper water), but the seal worked fine.
The pack of 2 is pretty useful for couples, so there’s one each if you’re swimming together or want to leave your stuff at a sunbed and go for a walk, taking just your valuables. Personally, I prefer the aqua coloured one for being a little more visible (in case I parted company with it in the water), but I imagine my partner would always prefer the more “masculine” black one anyway.
Decently priced for 2 at 9.99, I can’t fault them for the cost and effectiveness.
These came in handy for our holiday. While we didn’t fully submerge our phones intentionally, these are great to put your phones in around the pool so you can still use it, watch a video on a lilo etc knowing that splashes or accidental drops wont result in a broken phone.
I did test it without my phone in fully submerged in the bath for a few minutes and it was bone dry inside after.
I ordered these as the advert had stated you can fit iPhone 14 Pro Max inside the pouch. However even without a case I could not get my phone inside. The opening was too tight. Luckily the children have standard sized phones and they will use these when we’re on holiday.
The pouches are waterproof as stated and it’s easy to use the phone when it’s inside the case. The kids are so excited that they can take videos in the sea.
These are well made and good value but you really need to measure your phone rather than go by what the advert states.
Before using this product, I did the test they recommend, putting tissue paper in the case and dunking it in water. All was well, so on a recent trip to the pool with my son, we decided to try these out. They withstood the pool water very well, not a drop of water on my phone at all. The touchscreen continued to work while in the pouch (except with very wet fingers, but I expected this) and I managed to get some underwater shots of my son and his friends playing in the pool. 2 pouches for under a tenner, well worth the money.
Tried these pouches in the bath and they are very easy to use which I like.
I had full function of my phone when it was in the pouch and it worked really well but my Samsung was a bit of a squeeze to get in. It was a little bit easier witch the case removed but there still isn’t a lot of breathing room.
Great price for a set of 2 pouches.
Worked for me and fits my Samsung in.
Used a couple of times and seems to be water safe although I haven’t fully immersed my phone as its for on board my kayak.
Good quality and price.
Clear instructions. 2 pouches and lanyards included.
The advice when stand up paddleboarding is to keep a phone on you in case of emergencies. I’ve used this pouch several times now and it has kept my phone both dry and safe. It seems durable and the locking mechanism is secure.
A great price and you get two in a pack.
Fab set of waterproof phone pouches – I’ve now started my paddlebaording seasons and go out on the water nearly daily so I find these invaluable. Whilst I tend to keep to the Norfolk broads, as opposed to open water, you never know when you may need your phone and these help keep my phone (and other items) safe and dry. I also use it for my On the Water license.
The quality of these is good – the clips work fine and are 100% waterproof so far with no issues. Hoping that this will remain with regular use but so far, I am pleased with them and 100% recommend to all.
Lovely set of two waterproof phone pouches that work well. I tested them both underwater and both kept my phone dry. I like the fact you can still easily use the touchscreen of your phone through them whilst the phone is in the pouch. Tested these using an iPhone XR which fit well. The pouches are certified with IPX8 waterproofing, and uses triple-lock technology, so provides complete protection against water, snow, dust, and sand-ideal for travelling with. Great product. Highly recommended.
Great waterproof phone pouch, two in the pack with lanyards, Very easy to open and seal closed. Great that there’s no marketing on the clear pouches. Good size, and I had no issues operating my phone’s touch screen. The size is as advertised so you need to check that it’ll fit your phone versus complaining it doesn’t? My iphone x (8.5cm x 16cm inc. the case) with a hard case fitted. It’s a tight fit via the seal but once in, it has plenty of room. This is probably where some users will fall down getting their phone into the case??
At the time of my review, retailing on Amazon for 9.99 which in my opinion making it exceptional value for a pair.
Handy two pack of waterproof phone holders.
A great item for outdoor walks, swimming or holidays.
My phone stayed dry when I tested these in the sink!! Easy to use!
Both tested under water with tissue inside and completely dry after 10 minutes, haven’t tried at 30m so can’t confirm if pressure would have an effect. Both pouches come with their own lanyard. Tried my iPhone 11 and fitted no problem and no issues with responsiveness of the touch screen.
More than suitable for myself who works outdoors in all weather and needs to take images of ongoing works preventing the phone being damaged in a soggy pocket.
Would happily recommend.
If you’ve got a six inch phone these are going to work great. But my seven inch Sony wouldn’t fit with the case on. Or at least it might have fitted, but it was a bit of a struggle to get it in, so I gave up on that, lest I was unable to get it out.
There’s a good locking mechanism that positively engages and makes it feel secure. I tested both bags out with just the included card inside before trying it with something expensive. They did very well. Not a drop got through when thoroughly-submerged in the bath. The mechanism certainly feels more secure than others I have tried and it engages positively so you can be certain that you’ve got it right.
I also like that there’s two in the box and that they have matching lanyards (a nice touch).
Good value for two waterproof phone bags. The plastic lock mechanism seems to work smoothly and reliably. The pouch material seems strong and should last.
I would plan on using this when at the beach rather than expect to rely on this to be fully waterproof though in theory you should be able to use it in the sea/pool.
My Samsung phone fitted in but I needed to remove the case to do this. I would have preferred there to be able to leave the case on.
