Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2023There are several benefits to taking your mobile phone under water with you: it's a very good camera, it's an even better video camera and it's a fantastic emergency communication device. This housing works really well and I refrained from giving it 5 stars only because of problems inherent in any underwater phone housing: the touchscreen works but is not pleasant to use, not having access to buttons is a limitation and the screen membrane is fragile. On the other hand, this particular housing is very well built and is compatible with a bewildering array of phones. It is likely you will keep it longer than the phone you bought it for and that it will be compatible with the next one you get. Going back to the communication thing, between many dive sites being close enough to shore to have cellular coverage and the appearance of satellite radios in mobile phones, this allows you to have the best possible rescue device in your pocket while you dive. It is also one that has a built-in GPS (on the surface only) and even marine charts options. Once on the surface, many phones are water resistant enough to use without the housing, which would be necessary to conduct a conversation or use more complex software such as a messaging application. Do be careful with the gasket on the door, it is easy to have unseen hairs or dust compromise the seal so it needs a careful inspection and cleaning before closing.
