They say some smartphones are water-resistant.

While that’s all well and good, if you plunge a smartphone into wet conditions for an extended period of time – or let’s say, you drop it in a bathtub – guess what, you could very well ruin your phone.

A waterproof smartphone case is a reliable way to keep your phone bone-dry at all times. Although they can be slightly bulkier than your average case, there are certain situations a waterproof phone case makes a whole lot of sense. Here are a few of them.

Hiking

Especially if you’re on a multi-day camping trip or hiking, you want your smartphone to be somewhere safe. It won’t protect against drops but it will be your lifeline in the event you get caught in a downpour.

Beach

The beach can be a dangerous place, with wind blowing sand around and water in front of you. Pack your smartphone away in a certified waterproof pouch. A universal waterproof phone pouch is one-size-fits-all.

Water Park

When you’re out at the water park and you’re set up near the water, you never know when someone might find it funny to “accidentally” splash you. Ensure your smartphone is fully protected.

Fishing

Even if you aren’t out on the water, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Wrap up your device in a waterproof case and close it. You can still do everything you want, in terms of browsing the Internet, taking pictures, etc. The only difference is it’s safe if it accidentally falls in.

Snorkeling

Believe it or not, once sealed, you can actually put this phone with you in water and not have to worry. IPX8 waterproof phone cases are certified to be put in water up to 33 feet deep. With knowledge of that, don’t feel obligated but you can certainly have your smartphone with you swimming or snorkeling. Depending on the clarity of the packaging, you may even be able to snap up some photos under water.

Shovelling Snow

You may not think an IPX waterproof case to be valuable in a snowstorm but it very much is. Waterproof is snow-proof. If you have to be outside shovelling snow or have to venture into a blizzard for whatever reason, toss your pretty phone in its case.
