Taking your phone on water adventures can be risky, but with the right protection, it doesn’t have to be. This review dives deep (pun intended) into the 2PCS Waterproof Mobile Phone Bag, a double-pack of IPX8 certified cases promising full underwater protection. I’ve spent weeks testing these cases in various aquatic environments, from gentle pool dips to slightly more adventurous snorkeling sessions. Let’s see if they live up to the hype.

The 2PCS Waterproof Mobile Phone Bag boasts several key features. The most striking is its claimed IPX8 rating, signifying complete protection against water immersion up to 30 meters (100 feet). The 0.3mm ultra-thin, transparent design ensures ease of use and clear visibility of your phone’s screen, making taking photos and videos underwater a breeze. It uses a secure snap closure and has a very simple design. The soft TPU material is touted for its sensitive touch responsiveness.

My testing involved submerging the phone case in varying depths of water, including a swimming pool and during snorkeling excursions. The case consistently performed flawlessly, keeping my phone completely dry even after extended periods underwater. The touchscreen responsiveness was surprisingly good, though there was a slight delay compared to using the phone without the case. Taking pictures and videos was achievable though it did require slightly more pressure than I expected. I also tested the case in a high-pressure water spray to mimic waves. It passed with flying colors. While the marketing mentions that Touch ID and fingerprint unlocking aren’t supported (and this held true in my testing), the touchscreen functionality for general use and camera operation worked remarkably well.

One minor drawback I experienced was the increased size and bulk of the phone due to the case, and it wasn’t very easy to keep in a small pocket due to this.

I did also take some photos while using the case, and it seemed to affect the sharpness and quality of the photos slightly due to the plastic.

Pros:

• Excellent waterproofing (IPX8 certified)
• Responsive touchscreen
• Clear, transparent design
• Durable and robust construction

Cons:

• Slightly bulky and less pocketable
• Touch ID/fingerprint unlocking not supported
• Minor impact on photo and video quality

Overall, the 2PCS Waterproof Mobile Phone Bag delivers on its promise of reliable underwater protection. The touchscreen responsiveness and clear design are significant advantages. While some minor drawbacks exist (mostly related to bulk and Touch ID incompatibility), the peace of mind it offers when engaging in water activities is invaluable. I highly recommend this case for anyone looking to protect their phone while enjoying aquatic adventures. If your primary use case includes only taking pictures in water, I recommend looking for a case with better camera capabilities, but if you need general touch screen usage in water, this will be a good choice.
