Taking your phone to the beach, pool, or even underwater used to be a risky proposition. But with the advent of reliable waterproof phone cases, those worries are largely a thing of the past. This review focuses on a two-pack of waterproof phone cases, boasting IPX8 certification and a convenient lanyard. Having spent considerable time testing these cases in various conditions, I’m ready to share my experience.

The standout features of this 2-pack are immediately apparent: the dual-lock sealing mechanism, the clear PVC window for easy touchscreen use and photo/video capture, and the included lanyard. The lanyard, though seemingly simple, proved surprisingly useful for keeping the case readily accessible while swimming or engaging in other water activities. The transparent PVC material allows you to fully utilize your phone’s touchscreen capabilities, even underwater.

I subjected these cases to a rigorous test, submerging them to various depths (well below the advertised 30 meters), and using them in various outdoor scenarios. The seals held perfectly, keeping my phone completely dry throughout the entire testing process. The touchscreen responsiveness was surprisingly good, and I had no trouble taking photos or videos underwater. The cases even successfully withstood a few accidental drops onto hard surfaces. The lanyard felt secure and comfortable, easily adapting to various neck sizes.

While the touchscreen functionality is very good, it’s worth noting that there may be a slight reduction in sensitivity compared to using your phone without the case. This is a minor trade-off given the complete protection offered. The clarity of the PVC isn’t quite perfect; there’s a very slight haziness, but it’s not disruptive to photos or videos.

Pros:

• Excellent waterproof protection (IPX8 certified)
• Durable construction
• Comfortable and secure lanyard
• Good touchscreen responsiveness
• Two cases in the pack offers great value
• Suitable for various water activities and more

Cons:

• Slight haziness in the PVC material
• Minor reduction in touchscreen sensitivity

Overall, these waterproof phone cases provide excellent protection and are remarkably convenient. Despite a few minor shortcomings, the advantages far outweigh any drawbacks. The value of having two cases is a plus, allowing you to store one dry for when the other one is in use. I would wholeheartedly recommend these cases to anyone who needs reliable waterproof protection for their phone during water-related activities. Their performance in various tests exceeded my expectations.
