We all take our smart phones on our active travels, for their useful outdoors apps, cameras and last but not least the safety and convenience of being able to call or be called - especially in an emergency.
The problems with most smartphones is that these compact gadgets crammed with cutting edge electronic technology aren't in themselves all that adventure ready. It only takes a drop or a soaking (of both if you drop it into deep water) and they are easily broken and rendered useless.
The principle of Overboard's case case is that once sealed in with locking grip switches on the top tab you shouldn't need to take the phone out again until it's safe to do so - instead using almost all of your phone's functions through the case.
The case - which is soft apart from the plastic top closure - is 100 percent waterproof and Class 5 IP68 rated, guaranteed up to depths of 6m. Indeed the case will actually float if dropped in water, and is designed to keep out dust, sand and dirt too.
Once safely sealed in, your phone's touchscreen is useable through the transparent front window (except underwater), clear photos can be taken through the Lensflex back window, and calls (although slightly muffled) can be made as normal.
The Large Waterproof Phone Case will fit almost all smartphones, including the new iPhone 6. Also included is a moisture sensitive desiccant sachet for making sure the inside of the case is completely dry, as well as an extremely useful neck lanyard and a carabiner clip for belt buckles, or anywhere else for that matter!
