Your phone shouldn't be the reason you hesitate to shoot a rapid, paddle through a rainstorm, or pull it out to grab a photo mid-river.

The Aquapac Classic PlusPlus Phone Case keeps your phone fully protected against water, dust, sand, mud, and corrosion, submersible to 10 metres. Designed and made in the UK by Aquapac, a company that has been building waterproof cases since 1983, this is a brand with a long track record of keeping gear dry in serious conditions. The PlusPlus sizing fits larger phones up to 171mm tall and 110mm wide, including phones in heavy-duty bumper cases like Otterbox or those running an extended battery pack.

Touchscreens and Face ID work normally through the case, so you're not sacrificing usability for protection. Fingerprint recognition won't function through the material, so you'll need to use your passcode, a minor trade-off for a case that can take a dunking. A lanyard is included for keeping it tethered while you paddle, and the case holds up in extreme temperatures from desert heat to arctic cold.

A reliable waterproof phone case is one of those pieces of kit that earns its place on every paddle, every time.
