Review of the IP68 Waterproof Phone Pouch
This brand new phone case definitely has some quality features that will float your boat! But it also has flaws which may feel like you’re on the Titanic.
The Pelican 2 Pack Marine soars above a lot of its competitors when keeping the phone dry. No water seeped into the case when the phone was waterboarded as part of its test for punishment. Much to my surprise, photos taken and captured through this plastic pouch showed amazing precision and clarity. They were as clear as a teenager’s face post-acne treatment.
Phone apps were as delightful as the apps at Hooters. Hot Wings…BBTW (Bomb By The Way)! They, the phone apps not Hooters girls, opened without delay and functioned properly moving from screen-to-screen. I searched the Internet like normal and got normal results. All pages pulled up according to my specific searches without difficulty or delay. There is also plenty of room to store a couple of credit cards, cash, and a key. All-in-all, the dry function and feature of this phone casing is top notch!
On the flip side, the “click click” part of the Pelican 2 Pack Marine did not work. I repeatedly tried to take photos underwater, but I might as well have been taking pictures in a tunnel with no light. The manufacturer definitely has to improve this part of the phone casing. Otherwise for people like me who enjoy traveling to warm weather beach destinations, this product may get passed up for another choice. Needless to say, I refuse to show my perle whites for this portion of the review.
Another problem, which may erase the smile from your face, is that the top portion of the self-facing camera blocks the lens. In other words, the phone pouch is a bit short in length and only allows the photo to be taken while partially obstructed. The only other gripe is that the perimeter of the plastic casing is black, making it more prone to absorbing heat, and as a result, more difficult to handle.
In conclusion, the Pelican 2 Pack Marine has some really great qualities and it has some areas in need of great attention. The bottom line for whether to choose this phone case should be similar to dating. Do more research to determine whether you’ll be happy with this potential lifelong, plastic pouch partner or if this plastic pouch partner has other plans and provides you a short lifespan for your relationship.
