Review on 📱 Nite Ize Runoff Waterproof Phone Pouch with Lanyard and Zipper, IP67 Universal Waterproof Case for iPhone 11/11 Pro Max/Xs Max/XR/X/8/8 Plus Galaxy, Blue (ROPPL-03-R3) by Mike Martz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Uncomfortable Case, Unreliable Straps, Small Opening, Zipper Requires Service

The waterproof Nite Ize Runoff phone case comes with a neck strap. This is a zippered bag that uses Tru Zip's patented waterproof zipper. This case is rated "waterproof and dustproof” but has only been tested to the IP67 standard, which the iPhone X is rated for, to a depth of 1 meter (or 3.3 feet) for up to 30 minutes.” I dive , snorkel and swim and would never entrust my phone to a bag with such a low rating. The neck strap has two clips that can be easily attached to the bag. However, there is no fastener on top of the clips, so they may be pushed back. The case fits the iPhone XS Max with a medium sized silicone case, although it is very tight to thread the phone through the zip slot. The phone's capacitive touch functions work well through the plastic front of the case! The use of a zipper makes the bag much wider than comparable bags. The bag comes with zip care instructions stating that the zip should be washed, dried and zipped up and the bag should be stored in a horizontal position. After cleaning the zipper, the instructions say to lubricate the zipper (but doesn't specify what type of lube to use), then open and close the zipper 5 times to disperse the lube. the case for the cell phone. I want it to be truly waterproof (33ft minimum), have a secure neck strap, be streamlined and maintenance free. This case fails on all of those counts, only allowing the touchscreen to work well when the phone is inside. If you need a phone case for a time when it might rain, that's fine. Otherwise, there are many other high-performance products that will likely suit your needs better.

Pros
  • VERSATILE DESIGN, FITS MOST PHONES – Case design fits a variety of phones up to 3.38 inches wide and 6.53 inches high with or without case, including iPhone 11 Pro Max, Galaxy Note 10, Google Pixel XL
Cons
  • So-so

The zipper is very difficult to open and close. I am returning this item.
