What customers say
Customer sentiment for the Nite Ize RUNOFF Pocket is exceptionally strong, driven primarily by the product's reliable, high-performance waterproofing. Users consistently highlight the effectiveness of the TRU Zip technology, confirming that the pocket provides a genuinely submersible and airtight seal, making it a trusted solution for protecting sensitive items like electronics, keys, and documents in challenging environments, including water sports, heavy rain, or dusty conditions. Reviewers frequently praise the rugged construction, noting the durability of the TPU material which feels substantial and resistant to abrasion, justifying its use as a critical piece of gear. The pocket size (ROP-09-R3) is generally found to be highly practical for everyday carry (EDC) or travel organization. While the primary point of friction mentioned by consumers is the premium price point—it is significantly more expensive than standard zippered pouches—the consensus is that the superior quality and absolute peace of mind provided by the reliable seal make the investment worthwhile for those who cannot afford gear failure. The only minor functional note is that the zipper requires deliberate, firm operation to ensure the seal is properly engaged, a necessary trade-off for its waterproof capability. Overall, the product is viewed as a top-tier, essential item for anyone needing guaranteed protection.
Know before you buy
An IP67 rating means the pouch is fully dustproof and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for as long as 30 minutes. It provides reliable protection against accidental drops in water, heavy rain, or dusty environments.
Yes, the TPU material is thin enough to allow for touchscreen functionality. You can easily navigate apps or take photos without removing your device from the protective seal.
Unlike traditional zippers that use teeth, the TRU zip is a toothless, sliding design that creates a smooth, silent, and airtight seal. It is easier to operate and provides a more secure barrier against water and sand.
The pouch is constructed from durable, flexible TPU. It is soft enough to pack into a larger bag or pocket without taking up much space, yet rugged enough to withstand rough outdoor use.
The pouch features integrated anchor points and a built-in belt loop. You can thread a strap through the anchor points to wear it crossbody, attach it to a backpack harness, or slide it directly onto your belt for hands-free carrying.
