If you’ve ever experienced an iPhone death brought on by the cold blue waters of the beach or swimming pool, you know the horrible pain I’m talking about. In an instant, you not only ruin an expensive gadget, but also lose all the precious data stored in it (unless you have a backup somewhere. In that case, bravo!)
Anyway, if it happens, it’s not fun. But here’s a solution for you, we’ve found 5 amazing waterproof phone cases you need. These will save you plenty of heartaches and a possible empty wallet.
1. Benzitech iDry Case
There are a lot of versions of a waterproof pouch available, but the Benzitech seems to be a sturdy option for keeping gadgets safe and dry for outdoor adventures. It fits an iPhone, a variety of Samsung gadgets and they even have one for the iPad. Slip your gadget inside and the airtight seal will keep it protected. Also comes with an armband, neck strap and waterproof earbuds.
2. Preserver Series Otterbox Case
For protective smartphone cases, Otterbox is one of the leading names out there. The Preserver Series is dubbed as the ‘seriously waterproof’ set. It works great for iPhone 4 as well as the iPhone 5.

It’s temporary but can be used up to 3x, depending on when and where. It’s great for that hiking, biking or swimming event you got invited to at the last minute. Just slip this over your gadget and you’re good to go.
