‘TrailProof’ Protective Phone Case

What’s so special about this case?

  • You’ll be able to talk and hear through it without a problem
  • and get great photos and video
  • and your touchscreen will work normally
  • It’s not just 100% waterproof – it’ll protect your phone from dust, dirt and sand too
  • You won’t necessarily have to buy a new one when you upgrade your phone, because it’s a generic rather than a form-fit case (unlike a hard case, it’s not tailored to a specific device).

Anything else?

  • It has 2 lash points – which means it’s easy to hang up or tie down!
  • It’s supplied with a carabiner to attach it to your backpack, or your belt
  • It’s securely, submersibly waterproofed thanks to its quick and simple ziplock seal
  • The seams are welded together with high frequency radio waves, creating a super-strong bond
  • The optically-clear LENZFLEX window is UV-stabilized (so it won’t go yellow in the sun)
  • and the case will still be soft and functional in the extreme cold.

What else do I need to know?

  • Some phones will float in this case and some won’t – make sure you test yours in a basin before you launch it into the sea!
  • Capacitive touchscreens don’t work underwater, the water breaks the circuit. But you can usually use the volume buttons to operate your camera underwater.
  • Fingerprint recognition such as Apple’s Touch ID won’t work through the Aquapac – you will have to enter your passcode.
  • Some phones have rather sharp edges. We recommend use of a thin bumper case which will protect both phone and case.
  • We offer a wide range of different phone cases. Click here to see the complete collection.

Care Instructions

Warning
Our warranty covers this Aquapac only, and not any items you may put inside it. We recommend that you insure the contents separately.

Waterproofness
Our range has been independently tested to international waterproofing standards. However, the waterproofness of your Aquapac depends on your closing and opening it carefully, and on it not being damaged either before or during use. Please follow all instructions carefully.

Before Every Use
Seal something worthless inside, then submerge in a basin to check the waterproofness.

Closing the Case
Make sure that all parts are clean. Wipe away any grit or sand, which could hamper the seal. Align the seal carefully and press it closed firmly along the entire length. Then fold the flap over and secure using the Velcro®.

Opening the Case
Never open your Aquapac in or under water. In order to stop any water getting in when you are opening it, first shake off any water then dry with a towel. Hold the case with the opening at the bottom as you open it.

Ongoing Care
Our materials are strong but can still be punctured. Avoid sharp or abrasive objects and protect from impacts. After regular contact with chlorinated or salt water, or with sun creams, wash in soapy water and then rinse with fresh water. Do not use bleach, alcohol or proprietary cleaners.

Materials
This case is made from TPU.

Extreme Temperatures
Although the case material has been UV-stabilized – which means that the plastic shouldn’t be discoloured or broken down by sunlight – the Aquapac won’t protect anything inside it from heat or sunlight. The soft case material is functional and flexible in air temperatures -40ºC to +60ºC (-40ºF to +140ºF), and water temperatures up to +40ºC (+100ºF). In direct sunlight, your phone can get very hot inside the case.

Humidity and Condensation
In humid climates there will be moisture in the air sealed inside the case. Desiccant sachets will absorb the moisture, keeping the contents completely dry. We recommend use of desiccant sachets in all Aquapacs in humid climates. You can purchase spare sachets – see Accessories.

Warning
This is not a toy. It may contain small parts which may be a choking hazard to children under 3. Keep small parts away from children.

Tips for Taking Good Photographs
If you follow a few guidelines there’s no reason why anyone should notice that your photos were taken through a case. It’s a bit like taking a photograph through your window at home. First of all the window needs to be as clean as possible. Even with a clean window you may notice some reflection, but the closer you hold the camera lens to the window, the less the reflection. Similarly our cases give best results with the lens window tight against the camera lens. Try to avoid flash photography but if you do need to use the flash, make sure that the case is tight over the flash so the light doesn’t reflect back into the lens.

Underwater Photography
It takes a bit of practice – and a little luck – to get really good underwater photos. Please don’t think that every shot you take is going to make the cover of SportDiver magazine! You need strong sunshine and clear water. The middle of the day is best, when the sun’s at its highest. Best results will be just below the surface. Light disappears quickly as you go deeper, as do colours (one of the advantages of digital cameras is that you can retouch your photos afterwards to replace colours lost underwater). Flash rarely works underwater. Not because of the Aquapac, but because the flash tends to reflect off particles in the water itself. Even clean water is full of micro-organisms and other particles. The less water between you and your subject, the less difference this will make and therefore the clearer your shots are likely to be. Wide lens and close up is the secret.

6 reviews for ‘TrailProof’ Protective Phone Case

  1. Mark (verified owner) –

    Good product one piece of info will need to take phone out of any cover you have on as my wife I phone 11 was a struggle to get in and out. Apart from that are very good and should keep water out. Ideal for on the beach etc as can get cards and cash in as well as phone

  2. OCC Outdoor magazine –

    Slim and lightweight, this phone case is 100% waterproof. It’s soft and comfy in a pocket, weighs just 50g, and you can talk, hear and film through the case as normal.

  3. William, British Columbia, Canada –

    Your cell phone case is fantastic. Paddling the Great Bear Rainforest in Canada and left the phone in the case on the beach in a lagoon at low tide. Returned to find it it floating in the same spot at slack tide. Not a drop of moisture in the bag. Thanks.

  4. WildRunning.net –

    British-based company, Aquapac, make waterproof cases for almost every gadget we can think of. We love to have a camera (or at least an iPhone) to hand for snapping that glorious sunset or misty morning while we’re out running, and these 100%-waterproof yet non-bulky cases have proved their worth on many occasions. The brand new TrailProof phone case is particularly excellent for runners, and a bargain at £14.

  5. Paul Lewis, Peak Mountaineering –

    This is an excellent case. It has a simple but efficient construction, is extremely durable and fully delivers on promised waterproofness and functionality. The case is also a size which will fit a variety of devices and this means it may outlive your current smartphone and still be usable when you upgrade. It is also worth mentioning that although I expect the main user group for this product will be leisure users, but I see it also being practical for use in work or industrial applications. It is also extremely good value.

  6. Peter Hazell, watersports photographer, UK –

    What can I say, the amount of attention this has had is amazing. Particularly from my diving colleagues. The build quality is excellent, and the waterproofing zip lock seems very secure. Throughout the windsurf shoot in Poole harbour I had my phone inside, all good with no damp spots.
