"The modern smartphone is quite water-resistant. Take my iPhone 17 Pro Max, which has an ingress protection (IP) rating of IP68. That 6 means it is totally dustproof (but there is a "but" that I'll get to later), and the 8 means it is water-resistant in up to 6 meters of water for 30 minutes. At least when it's new. Knocks and dents, and general wear and tear, can diminish this protection."
"The Marine case is a pouch made of high-quality, soft yet super tough black and clear TPU polymer. It's rated IP68 for submersion in up to one meter of water for up to an hour. There's a window on the front that allows operation of the smartphone (the smartphone is incredibly responsive to touch in the case), and a smaller window on the back to allow the camera to work."
Modern smartphones often carry IP68 ratings granting dustproofing and temporary water resistance, but those specifications apply when devices are new and can degrade with knocks, dents, and wear. Manufacturers treat water damage as an expected failure when it is not covered by warranty. The Peli Marine phone pouch is constructed from tough black and clear TPU and is rated IP68 for submersion up to one meter for one hour. The pouch preserves touchscreen responsiveness and camera use, allows Face ID to function, closes with a secure top catch, includes a lanyard loop with a yellow tab, floats with a phone inside, and makes side-button operation slightly fiddly. The pouch is suitable for outdoor activities and treks where extra protection and flotation are desirable.
