Sea To Summit TPU Guide waterproof phone case


British weather means it’s a good idea to keep your tech protected from the elements at all times. On this smartphone case, Sea To Summit have combined a super-tight ziplock with a triple roll-top closure that’s held firm with Velcro. An additional Velcro tab then covers the rolled opening to prevent it unravelling. The main pouch is made from tough thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is welded with radio waves to produce seamless joins. Large touch-compatible windows allow for perfect use of your phone’s screen and easy access to side buttons (as long as they’re not on the side next to the roll-top). IPX8 certification means this case should protect your phone from water, even if it’s submerged for an hour at depths of up to 10m. While we didn’t attempt to test this, it did remain fully waterproof when left in a sink for the time it took to make and drink a cup of tea. The two lashing points are a nice addition to prevent loss or droppage. This little phone case does exactly what it claims really well without adding too much bulk.
