I bought these phone pouches because I trusted the Pelican name to remain sealed underwater while we went snorkeling on a cruise. I wasn't disappointed. The fit was perfect and not too tight for my Samsung S22 Ultra and my wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max. The window on the front is large enough to not cover any important parts of the screens and the rear window was the perfect size for both rear cameras regardless of shape. I opted for the XL case just to have a little more wiggle room sliding the phones in without taking off our cases. The two folding clips that open and close the pouch are easy to use in and out of the water. The clear plastic only fogged up on one use and that was from being opened/closed multiple times while in the water, so the temperature difference finally caught it, but it didn't fog much. Performance was great with floating in the ocean, and since it has a slide toggle on the lanyard we were able to tighten them up so they wouldn't float off of us if a wave hit. The video and picture were take on the Samsung while in the pouch and showed no signs of clarity or quality issues.
The only problem and this was from not thinking on my part, the salt water activates the touch sensors through the plastic when submerged, no issues above water. So the video I had to start before going underwater. The photo I was able to take underwater and use my phones side buttons. This problem can be fixed probably if you can put spacers like cabinet bump stops on the corners of the phone to prevent the plastic from sucking to the screen. Or if you're able to use side buttons it's no problem underwater.
Used it at the lake too on the jetski and now I don't have to fumble with unlocking a hard case to get the phone out to take pictures.

The media could not be loaded.

Clear view, floats, stays sealed, but touch sensitive in salt water
