When I’m at the pool, I’d rather spend most of my time off my mobile device. But it’s 2025, and my phone goes everywhere I do, including on the pool float with me while I soak up some sun. Now, there’s a practical reason for this, I promise. If I’m listening to music (on my JBL speaker), having my phone handy is critical to maintain the pool day vibes and change songs and playlists whenever I want, especially while my Apple Watch is off my wrist.Â
But, alas, keeping my phone protected from water accidents is always a good idea. That’s why I pop my iPhone 14 Pro into this Case Mate IP68 waterproof pouch, which keeps it secure from splashes, drips, and most importantly, potential underwater submerges up to 3.3 feet. This pouch is affordable, comes with a lanyard in several fun colors, and is great for extra security at the pool. Plus, it’s perfect for water activities, vacations and cruises, the beach, and solo-traveling. The pouch still allows you to utilize your device, floats, and even aids in taking underwater photos. It’s an excellent $20 buy for your tech repertoire or for your accident-prone, phone-addicted kid. Amazon customers said they liked the airtight, waterproof seal on the Case Mate pouch and protecting their phone while at the beach, pool, waterpark, and more. One customer even said they used this waterproof pouch to take underwater pictures during a shark cage dive.Â
