There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As advertised it floats quite readily. Using the edges of the case to contain the foam makes the case more streamlined than some and also protects the phone. There's some bulk to it's unavoidable in a floating case.
Last, the strap made of really tough material, I have a slight concern that if I caught it on something it might strangle me climbing back into the boat. I will probably add a plastic buckle on the loop for that reason. The plastic hook that connects it to the phone is not as robust but is pretty much what I wanted/expected.
I'd love some brighter colors but otherwise it's perfect for my needs.
-much better quality than the cheaper ones (which we also bought)
-this one FLOATS if you accidentally drop your phone in the water
-the plastic does not significantly distort the image quality, in or out of the water
BUT...
It's a bit too small for my google pixel 8 pro. It's not fit for the larger/newer gen of phones.
The side/top padding, which is nice and thick, does block the front facing "selfie" camera. So all photos had to be from the back cameras.
Neutral:
Touch screen sensitivity is reduced (to be expected), and doesn't work at all under (sea) water. I think that has to do with the conductivity of the salt water, not the pouch itself. So taking pictures required raising the camera out of the water, starting a pic on a timer, and then going underwater to let the pic capture. This prevents spontaneous underwater pics. Not sure if any other waterproof pouch would do better though...

First, let me say the case price/quality ratio are great - especially for a brand you can trust. Seems well-built, it's nice that they float (kind of...I'll explain later), and I had no fears my phone might end up wet during my adventure.
However, 3 major issues keep me from reccommending it to anyone who might use it for underwater pictures in the ocean:
1) More often than not, it didn't recognize my finger while under water. At the surface - even while dripping wet - it worked just fine. Under water, barely ever.
2) The bulky design (large to fit big phones. Padded to make it float) meant that it was quite difficult to feel/find the side buttons to trigger the camera (extra important since the touch wasn't working)
3) The last problem was even more critical because of 1 & 2. The camera "window" is very soft and flexible plastic. The vast majority of the times I was actually able to snap a photo, the waviness of that plastic distorted the image beyond being usable. This was extra-bad because much of the time I needed to squeeze the case to press the volume button and trigger the camera - flexing that window and distorting the photo even more.
All in all, trying for over an hour to capture as much video and pics during a snorkeling adventure in beatifully-clear water, I was able to get maybe 4-5 pics worth keeping, and one short video clip. That snorkling trip was the whole reason I bought the case, so it was quite a dissapointment. I'm not sure how more people didn't report a similar experience.
I am sure I'll get a lot of use out of this on future trips on the lake, kayaking, etc, but this definitely wasn't a great option for underwater shots in the ocean.
