"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."
"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. I was surprised to find that Face ID continued to work when the iPhone was in the case."
"The case is closed by a very positive catch on the top that is definitely not going to come undone by accident. Also: I tucked a stealthy $15 tracker into my favorite jacket - now I no longer travel without it There's a loop on the top of the pouch for a lanyard -- which is a bit of yellow material that aids in finding the phone if it is misplaced or floats away. And on the subject of floating away, the pouch can float even when containing a phone."
Modern smartphones commonly carry IP68 ratings indicating total dust protection and water resistance to specific depths and durations when new. Physical knocks, dents, and general wear reduce ingress protection over time, and manufacturers often exclude water damage from warranty coverage. The Peli Marine phone pouch is constructed from soft yet tough TPU, rated IP68 to one meter for one hour, and features a responsive front touch window, a rear camera window, and continued Face ID functionality. A secure top catch seals the pouch, a lanyard loop with a bright pull aids retrieval, and the pouch can float with a phone inside. Side-button operation is slightly fiddly but usable.
