Pelican - MARINE Series Waterproof Floating Pouch - Black/Lime

My husband and I used these pouches in the ocean on our recent vacation. They worked just as advertised. We could fit our IPhones (with our everyday cases on). It was easy to get the phones in and out of the cases. We also got great pictures in the water without worrying. It even worked taking some underwater pictures. We swam out to a sandbar and were snorkeling and diving in the water and the case did float and stay put due to the clasp on the lanyard. A quality purchase.

Excellent buy, excellent value!Ease of use: product is extremely easy to use. Camera window is easy to locate which makes this extremely easy to identify how to place your phone into the pouch.Waterproofing: product operates as advertised. My family and I used these pouches in a saltwater bay. They were brought into the water and used to record both in and out of the water, fully submerged at a snorkeling depth of 3 feet or less.Clarity: these pouches do not even appear to be on when taking photos and videos. The clarity is uncanny.Durability: the pouches lasted a full 8 hours of boating along with approximately 2 hours of water time. They do seem like they will last a considerable amount of time.Issues: forward camera is not accessible for facial recognition. Don’t expect to unlock or authorize electronic payment using facial recognition while your phone is in the case. Phone can still be unlocked using your alternative method. Additionally, the side button can be challenging to manipulate. This can pose an issue for those who use the side buttons to take photos or videos, to lock the phone, or for other uses. I do not consider this a problem as I bought these pouches for their waterproof and floating properties. In these categories, the pouches are excellent!Money well spent!

Bought these for a trip to Aruba and so glad I did!!! It worked great and there was NO water that got into the case. We went snorkeling with sea turtles and the clarity was great. I wore it around my neck and flipped it on my back while I swam and it floated behind my neck. I will say taking pictures underwater was a little difficult so I would hold it out of the water hit record, record what I wanted to take a picture of and take screen shots later.Still giving it 5 stars though because it did exactly as advertised.

I recently took the Pelican Marine Waterproof Phone Pouches on a cruise and beach vacation—and they really delivered. These pouches checked every box I was looking for in travel protection:✅ Why I Love It:• Guaranteed waterproof to IP68—submerged in a pool, ocean, or in my carry-on snow gear, my phone stayed dry and fully functional.• Floats on water! Losing a phone overboard is my worst fear. These pouches float, so no worries if it slips from your hand.• Works with all phones, cases included—I tested both an iPhone 14 and a Samsung with a rugged case, and touch response (incl. Face ID/fingerprint) was surprisingly accurate.• Detachable lanyard and neck strap—great for hands-free use while swimming, lounging on a boat, or sightseeing.• Durable and user-friendly—the lock seal snaps with confidence, and the pouch doesn’t heat up or fog.• Travel essentials in a pack of two—I kept one for my husband and one for me, and even use one for boarding passes, cards, or cash on excursions.👎 Minor Gripes:• Slight reduction in camera clarity from behind the pouch—but nothing that affected video or photo quality for Instagram and quick captures.• Slight bulk added, but still comfortable in pocket or bag.⸻🌊 Final Verdict:If you’re preparing for ocean adventures or just want total peace of mind poolside, the Pelican Marine Waterproof Pouches are worth every penny. Secure, reliable, and thoughtfully designed—including the bonus brilliant Hi‑Vis yellow edition.Highly recommended for anyone traveling near water, from cruise-goers to beach lovers and kayakers alike

FANTASTIC! I bought these for my cousin and I for a kayaking trip. The cases easily fit my iphone 16 pro and was water-tight, even when fully submerged. The case was extremely durable, surviving multiple rapids, capsizes, and hikes. Because it is meant to float, it's a little bulkier than desired, but was still able to be comfortably tucked under my jacket. The plastic also allowed clear photos with no distortion or reflection, allowing us to take photos while in the water without having to remove it from the sleeve.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I normally don't post reviews, but I had a bone head move using this product yesterday and I wanted share my experience. I am in Koror, Palau on a dive trip and I have been using 3 of these cases for phones/wallets on the dive boat (boat spray, rain, wet conditions) I have been taking pictures while in the case and overall it has been working great. The boat is a little tight for space so I have been hanging my phone in the case on the used air tanks. Yesterday, I made a mistake and hung it on an unused tank. Unbeknownst to me, one of the dive guides setup my BCD and placed it over the top of my phone hanging on the tank. After a 51 minute dive to a max depth of 69 ft and upon surfacing the dive guides noticed my phone in the case wrapped around my tank. When I got out of the water I was expecting the worst and was amazed to find my phone and the case was completely dry! What a great product thst saved my very expensive Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra!Waterproof:Extremely! Durability:Seems well built

One ripped the first time it was used. Didn’t even last 4 hours but the second one has been use multiple times and is still working perfectly. Been in swimming pools, water rides, and wave pools. I’ve used it 5 times already and still works perfectly. The other one may have just been a one time thing the seam seemed to have split so for that I won’t be leaving a 5 star review.
