Know before you buy
An IP67 rating means the case is completely dustproof and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for as long as 30 minutes. It is ideal for protecting your phone or keys during kayaking, hiking, or rainy outdoor activities.
The interior dimensions are 8.25" x 4.25" x 2.25". We recommend measuring your phone, including any protective case you currently use, to ensure it fits within these dimensions.
The valve balances the air pressure inside the case with the outside environment. This prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed due to changes in altitude or temperature, making it much easier to open.
Yes, the rubber liner is designed to provide extra shock protection and acts as an O-ring seal to keep the case watertight. It is intended to stay in place during normal use to maintain the case's protective integrity.
The case is built to withstand temperatures ranging from -10° F to 199° F. It is highly durable and suitable for most climates, though it is not intended for use in extreme industrial heat or sub-zero arctic conditions.
