Product
Proporta BeachBuoy - 100% Waterproof Case
Promise
Keeps your iPods, phones, cameras, keys and cash safe from the wet stuff
Performance
There is no doubt this case keeps your gadgets dry - my iPhone remains fully functional as testament after its underwater photoshoot. Having a guaranteed waterproof depth of 5m (16ft), it's certainly become a permanent companion when out on the kayak.
While there is some difficulty in sliding your glossy gadgets between the rubbery plastic, once inserted they are well protected with two click seals and a roll folding top, all neatly fastened with velcro.
The rugged pouch and handy draw cord make it an ideal companion for a variety of outdoor activities, keeping sand dust and dirt out of your delicate hardware.
Verdict
Tested and approved by the Bristish Standards Institute, you can even make a call while your phone is sealed inside. Although my touch screen became confused by the sticky plastic (hence the 3 star rating we gave it), the sound was crystal clear.
