They don’t work if you want to take puctures, pressure from the water makes it impossible to use touch screen with any accuracy. Waterproof yes, useful for underwater pictures not so much.
@andrewx29 depending on your phone, you might be able to use the volume button to take photos.
These cases are great if you are going out on a boat, to the lake, a water park, etc. They don’t have to be just for going underwater for photo opportunities.
@tstew777 im sure the watch method is great, mines an andriod and was trying to use video, didnt think of the volume button might have been a good solution.
Read the Amazonian reviews. I have had cases like these, and the clip at the top falls apart when opened, making them really cumbersome to install / remove your phone from them. I suppose that if you left the phone in them full time, this would not be a problem. I’ll leave my phone out of them full time instead.
You can dismiss reviews about not being able to use the phone in it while underwater, like diving and taking photos. Modern capacitive touch screens are going to detect anywhere there is water within a couple millimeters as a touch. I’d consider them more something to keep a phone safe if you go on a water ride and similar.
I’ve used bags like these before and never had a major problem with them falling apart. So either every one of those reviewers is incredibly rough on these or the build quality is significantly worse than usual.
You can get one of these that doesn’t suck for around $10. Not sure it’s worth getting 3 that do suck for $15 or $20, depending on VMP.
Meh, I’ll stick to my ziplock bag.
Nice sacks.
@yakkoTDI tea baggin time
now this is some classic-style meh shizz
Can I use two of these for additional safety, just like with condoms?
@ShotgunX You can fit two condoms over your phone? Damn.
@ShotgunX a condom would probably give more protection than these things
@awk Yes, but it’s a bit hard getting them on, since mine is quite a bit bigger than 5.5 inches.
Ladies,
@awk @ShotgunX
@awk @ShotgunX So you’re the one they call “The Brick.”
@awk @ShotgunX /giphy oh my
@ShotgunX Why is it yellowing…and dirty.
@awk @ShotgunX, yeah & he uses a small, an extremely small balloon for his small hand johnson!!
@Kerig3 @ShotgunX Too much exposure…
Where was this product before I hosted my coronavirus super-speader pool party? Would’ve have saved Jim-Bob’s phone…
Stuff your sorries in a sack
It’s an expression!
@jsh139 I read “sorries” with a Canadian accent in my mind.

@andrewx29 @RiotDemon, or even when you’re close to a bucket of water!! My cell wound up in my mop-bucket!!
@andrewx29 I use a similar bag for my iPhone and use my Apple Watch to trigger the camera. Works perfectly!

Will it protect it from the Vibrio flesh-eating bacteria species?? Might be safer just to stay out of the water. Pass.

Nope, not enough peace of mind.
/giphy peace of mind
Bag it and tag it!
@hchavers sell it to the butcher in the store

Have one of these and absolutely love it! Happy to get more for my family.
Bought one last trip to the beach for a lot more at the fancy beach store.
Did its job well.
It is a bear to get the phone out though.
I will sell you 20 ziploc bags for $15 that work with Bluetooth headphones
Run, don’t walk away from this deal. Reviews are Horribad on the Mothership. It falls apart even with gentle use…Not worth the details. read reviews.

How different is this from https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Waterproof-Pouch/972286392 at the same price
@kevinrs 7 different.
@kevinrs that one doesn’t appear to have the headphone jack.
@RiotDemon I don’t know if that’s a positive or a negative though, seems like a likely place to leak
Crap, my note 10 is 6.5" and doesn’t have a headphone jack…guess it won’t work. Time to find a zip lock gallon bag.

meh button today

Haha the Amazon reviews are… not complimentary
ordered more than a week ago and they just shipped?
this happens with regularity with everything I order off Meh.
Thought this was a three pack, i got a two pack. I wonder who got the four pack.
I have received my order via the USPS during a hurricane! So that makes me more dubious about why a single other order was never delivered.
@ bradsour I did get 3 per order (per color)
Not a great buy. Fell apart on first use and caused phone to get hot and go into cool down mode.
Terrible product!! Broke after 1 use!! Don’t waste your money on this product.
Very cheap and difficult to get in and out of… I agree, don’t waste your money!
