Product review - waterproof smart phone case

[J.A. Veil]

My family gave me an Overboard brand waterproof case for my Android phone as a Christmas present. I have used it twice and think it is pretty good for a potential water contact sport like kayaking. The case is not rigid -- rather it is a soft flexible plastic with a sliding seal at the top. Both front and back have a large clear plastic window. I can use all the features on the touch screen and can hear and speak for phone calls while the phone is still in the case. The case comes with a neck strap and is supposed to float.



I dunked another smart phone last March while kayaking and had to replace it. I think the Overboard case will work nicely as long as the plastic material proves to be durable. You can find more information about the product at http://www.overboardusa.com/waterpro...ase-black.html. I have no financial stake in this product.

I can give a first hand review of the Lifeproof IPhone case- I fell in the Mattawoman Creek at the 225 bridge this past July- had to swim out in the middle to get my hat- was in the water for about five minutes completely submerged my IPhone- no problem at all- no water got inside the case and I am still using the same phone and same case-
