This review is from: Waterproof Case for Apple iPhone 4, 4S – Also Works with iPod Touch, iPhone 3G, 3GS, & Other Smartphones – IPX8 Certified to 100 Feet (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased two of these for our annual trip to the beach with our girls and grandchildren. We wanted to have our phones on the beach and not worry about ruining a $200 plus smart phone. Everyone wanted to use them. You could easily use the phone inside the pouch and the pictures came out clear. Glare was not a problem and having it around your neck was also a plus. My husband plans on using it for fishing and when he is working outdoors. Great for not having to worry about getting caught in the rain, getting soaked by grandchildren or tubing. We plan on purchasing one for each of the kids.

I just tested this case submerged in the sink with running water and paper towels inside. I shifted it around and the seal held. When I forcibly held it down with the weight of a coffee cup, air bubbles starting coming out of one of the clamps. I removed it and sure enough the towel was starting to dampen. However when I opened it, I saw that I had been careless and left part of the paper towel in the seal line. Dried it out and tried again. It stayed dry after an hour submerged.
However when I went to put the lanyard on, one of the plastic clamps flew off! I refastened it no problem, but after reading the review about the clamps loosening after just a couple uses, I’m still nervous. May do another test, before I’m comfortable to use with the phone enclosed. Will report back results.
** Update: used in the Carribbean while snorkeling on multiple trips for extended periods of time. Put a piece of paper towel in with the phone as my “early warning system.” It worked flawlessly and took AMAZING photos. I even took great pictures through the plastic above the water. I’m a believer.
