Two Thumbs up

User: Tonny Soemartono, Sep 7, 2011

Its very water proof and useful!

Awesome Case

User: Brian C, Aug 21, 2011

I have had this case for two years now. I just bought my second one. It is big enough to put my photon in even in the defender case. The case has kept my phone dry and clean through more than normal duty. The only con was with a palm pre it was very hard to use the slider in the case. I had screen protectors on my phone that stuck to the inside of the case.

Saved my phone!

Pros: Waterproof, dust proof, paint proof. Best case for an active lifestyle.
Cons: Could have a better way to attach to body than a string. Gets hot if in direct sun even for a minute.

I work in our one-acre yard for 3-4 hours daily. Digging, watering, pruning, weeding. We also have a 2,000 gallon pond. In addition, we are rebuilding our deck. Im the official painter/stainer.

With all this water, dust and paint, my phone would have died at least twice now. The last time, I had set up a hose to add water to the pond. As I walked away, the nozzle shifted an shot me right in the hip, drenching my Aquapac, but not my EVO. The phone was dry.

Best case Ive ever owned.

Simply Amazing

User: Nathaniel Truncer, Aug 21, 2010

Pros: One of the best things ever mad for a phone
Cons: NONE

i work on the beach in Panama City,Fl. Im on a jet ski 10 hours a day and this is one the best investments Iv ever made.

awesome

User: Mike Las, Aug 15, 2010

Pros: easy to use, lanyard is helpful,
Cons: -

This thing works as advertised. I just took it to a water park and it functioned perfectly to protect my Droid X. I even took some funny video of us getting soaked in the rapids. Its easy to use and is 100 waterproof. I even played papertoss underwater in the pool! I thought the demo vid said you couldnt use the touch underwater but I was able to on multiple occasions with my DX.

Does what it claims to.

User: John P, Aug 7, 2010

Pros: Water tight, handy lanyard
Cons: In high humidity, the clarity of the bag can hinder photo taking slightly. Feels somewhat flimsy at first glance.

I personally love the thing. Does what it claims to do. Arrived on time for the trip I wanted to use it for. I checked the reviews before making my purchase and didnt see one negative one about it. I sure dont have anything bad to say either.

Great to protect you smart phone

User: Ayysleth Diaz, Jul 24, 2010

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None

Love that I can use the phone while at the beach or in the tub and not have to worry about water damage. So easy to use. I even keep it on the car for rainy days. Full phone functions while is being protected. A smart investment to protect my phone.

Best thing ever?

User: Ryan Williams, Jun 14, 2010

I ordered one of these for my Blackberry Storm 2. Spent all day at the lake with my phone around my neck playing Pandora radio under the water for everyone, and taking pictures (although a little difficult while swimming) and videos of friends under water! Great stuff!

excellent!

User: Mandie McDaniels, May 31, 2010

Pros: works beautifully
Cons: no color variety

I love this product, I use it everyday while Im in the shower so I can sing along to the music. Not only do I use this product for my phone, but for my iPod, as well. I took it to Lake Powell with me, and it was the PERFECT case to protect my phone from not only the water, but I found that if I flip the case upside down while in the sun, it doesnt overheat my phone. Absolutely gorgeous product!
The only con I can think of is that there is NO color variety whatsoever. I bought one of these for my daughter and she would NOT accept it because it "wasnt pink", so I gave it to my husband instead. Five stars, if you are debating on whether or not to purchase this item, I would definately recommend it!!

WELL WORTH THE MONEY

User: kirby hairgrove, Apr 24, 2009

Pros: MAKES YOUR DEVICE FLOAT
Cons: NOTHING BAD REALLY

I TOOK THIS ON PARASAILING AND I DROPPED MY BLACKBERRY OUT OF MY HANDS FROM ABOUT 300 FEET INTO THE OCEAN AND WAT DO YOU KNOW WE GOT BACK TO THE BOAT RODE OVER TO MY PHONE PICKED IT UP AND IT LOOK LIKE NOTHING HAPPEND WONDERFULL PRODUCT!!A++

Ugly... big -- but really good!!!

User: Sausage Mahoney, Apr 14, 2009

I purchased one of these for my brand new Storm... I needed some serious protection.

I spend a lot of time in the sand, out in Glamis, California where the roost from paddle tires is big, and the wind carries fine silt everywhere you can imagine. The last thing I wanted was a bunch of dust and screwed up buttons like I had on my old phone.

I purchased to Aquapac handheld case before my first trip out with my phone. I tested its waterproofing by placing a paper towel inside the case then stuffing it underwater. No leaks.

I decided to try putting my phone under 6 inches of water... no leaks... but I did find that the touch screen doesnt work when submerged I guess I cant go diving and check my email at the same time. From there, I took the phone into the shower with me to play some music, with the lanyard attached to the shower head, I was able to rock out while getting ready for work.

Since I found that it was sufficiently waterproof, I felt comfortable taking it into the desert/dunes environment. It withstood being shoved into my pocket (that had traces of sand in it -- remember that sand gets everywhere... yes even there), it went in the buggy with me, to the campfire and all over the dunes. I was able to use it without any worry of destroying my brand new phone.

Ive tried the Ziploc bag method but the bags were just too weak and would end up with little holes from the sands abrasive qualities. This case went everywhere with me and came out looking like the day I got it. Most importantly the same can be said about my Storm.

Works great!

User: Mark Tunke, Feb 4, 2009

Pros: Water damage a thing of the past!
Cons: a little bit like a nerdy pocket protecter....

Tried this out in a hot tub ( even though it says hot water is bad) and it worked great. All buttons and touch screen work perfectly through the case and not the slightest bit of moisture got in. I didnt try making a phone call to see how the mic worked but you can text so why call?

Great case for weather or sports!

User: Steve B, Sep 10, 2008

Pros: Totally Water Proof
Cons: Use correctly!

I had this case for my old Treo 650, and picked one up for the Centro.
This case is great for boating, as you have full functionality of the phone while in the case, including hearing and speaking without much difficulty. I will say you must be careful, and have a bit of air in the case prior to closing, or it wont float...I found that out the hard way with my 650. That being said, after my Treo 650 "sunk" into the lake, after 3 days and some nice people who just happened to be practicing diving in the area I lost the phone, they actually FOUND it. Pulled from the lake bed, the case was muddy, but the phone was perfectly dry! It saved me 550.00 bucks so it was well worth the 24.00 I spent on the case!

Works well, much larger than phone

User: Ron Barankovich, May 15, 2012

This case works great for my phone when I am kayaking. You can use the phone and even take pictures while in case. Only downfall is the case is alot larger than the phone but it definetly does its job. Great product!!

Is heat an issue?

User: Chris Mueller, Sep 16, 2009

I do not own this product, I chose 4 stars as least likely to skew results. My comment is that I use my Pre in the map pocket on the top of a motorcycle tank bag and I notice that when sealed in it gets very hot. I would recommend watching out for that if using this product with the phone on, especially if it is active, like GPS navigation.

waterproof security

User: erik chaffer, Aug 15, 2009

Well its kinda like a super heavy duty vinyl bag. The buttons are functional and its possible to hear through but cant use the track ball. would be good for when you know you are going to be in an area with a lot of water or a good chance to get it wet. Not for everyday use though.

BIOHAZARD

User: Kevin c, Aug 12, 2009

Pros: Effective, waterproof, dirtproof, blue
Cons: too large and bulky

The stock photo of this item should include a comparision photo side by side with the phone you are using it for so that you have a more acurate point to guage the size from. This pack is phenominal for what it is meant for, but I was looking for something for everyday use (Case with lanyard). The pack is 25 larger than the phone itself. Not intended for non-chalante use (Every day on the go).

Developed for use in areas and situations where damage from dirt and water have a high probability of occurance.

One thing I did like was I used it while scuba diving in shallows and the phone was able to make a call while underwater, although all I heard was muffle and was unable to respond with any acknowledgment. But I had no problems texting while under water. Browsing the net was slower that usual but patience provided the information. VZ Navigator didnt know what to make of it though. That program wasnt sure where I was at.
Other than its size, fantastic product for its purpose.

LOOKS EFFECTIVE

User: $helli R., Mar 6, 2009

Pros: water-proof for the beach :)
Cons: trackball function? not sooo sure.....

aquapouch

User: jason kc9mij, Nov 26, 2009

Pros: watertight, neat looking
Cons: cant use trackball

love the water tight feature of it!! its gr8! i do storm chasing and to keep my phone waterproof is important to me and i can still txt with it very easily! the only thing i wish is that u could use the trackball. the track ball only works if u push it down to select a menu feature. cant roll the ball tho in it.grrrr but i guess u cant have everything lol. u can even send msgs underwater up to like 25 feet if ur by a cell tower cuz sig strength is week under water oh yeah u gotta wear goggles to c ur screen lol but it works tho lol! love the product but give it a 2! use of the trackball is very important to me cant do it with this product:-(

May as well use a Zip-Loc

User: Martin Arnold, Feb 10, 2012

Pros: Does what it says
Cons: Could be done cheaper

This is just a waterproof pouch..You could accomplish the same thing with a Zip-Lock Freezer Bag..Save your money.

my track ball did not move in the case

User: joe bobings , Jun 11, 2009

the case works much better for the i pod and iphone. altho it keeps anything you put in it dry, you can no use the track ball on the black berry. i could type and hit send and and but the track ball would not move in the case.
