Review on πŸ“± YOSH Waterproof Phone Lanyard Pouch: Crystal Clear IPX8 Water Proof Case for iPhone11 Pro Max XR XS X 8 7 6 SE Galaxy Pixel - Perfect for Beach, Kayaking, Travel, Bath by David Perry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Yosh case for the iPhone 6s Plus is very good and durable, at least 25 feet deep and maybe more.

After testing Yosh (for iPhone 6s Plus) in 25-30ft (deep sea diving), I am satisfied with my Yosh case. I have great confidence in my Yosh case's ability to not leak (and destroy) my iPhone. In addition to the case, I purchased a small, detachable float (Nordic Flash) which is sufficient to provide positive buoyancy to the iPhone and case. for manipulating iPhone camera functions underwater are partially implemented. Just make sure the lid is properly closed (no obstruction) etc. Hint. Most people aren't going to play around with their phone if it's completely submerged in water. If you want to try this, read on. Using the on-screen trigger will not work underwater unless you use an alternative mechanical trigger such as the volume button. In fact, it's nearly impossible to use any of the touchscreen functions underwater. The reason for this is probably because the touchscreen contacts the case at a depth under pressure and the iPhone has difficulty determining which side of the contact is intended (your finger), etc. However, it is possible to improve the functionality of the iPhone Camera by holding the case protected iPhone above water before diving. I prefer to shoot videos - so this works well: press the video trigger before diving. For the video at 25ft, I started the video on the surface and dove underwater. The same submerged pocket or touchscreen issue comes into play. I tried to trick the blue-toothed remote trigger in the body to make it easier to use the bag as a "dive camera". While this worked on the surface, it didn't work offshore and I just gave up using the Bluetooth trigger (underwater) rather than trying to troubleshoot. The shutter button was placed in a housing, away from the lens, which was pressed against the back of the iPhone. If you use the case while diving, there may be some glare on a clear day. Another issue is that the camera switches to different settings as the surf hits it etc. In other words, yes I'm looking for a decent underwater camera that can compete with my yosh/iphone case.
