Review on Evergreen 56 Waterproof Dry Box Protective Case: Ultimate Travel Companion for Tackle Organization and Gear Protection by Isaac Maze

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keeps things dry but room for improvement

Bought this to keep my contact box, covid mask, goggles, phone and money dry during snorkeling trips. I love the interior layout of the box, and the rubber padding and mesh netting came in handy for keeping things secure. Nothing in the box has ever gotten wet. The "lock" on the box is ridiculous. There's no stylus/tilt mechanism here, it's just a dial to rotate with whatever you can use. The key is simply a piece of plastic that slips into the outer holes of the dial. I was able to "unlock" the box easily with a plastic toothpick from a pocket knife. I immediately threw the "key" in the bin. The dial keeps the loop from opening even if you don't "lock" it, but it became very difficult to turn by hand after only a few uses (and possible exposure to salt). water), so I stopped even doing that and just closed the loop. It never opened up unexpectedly for me, but that will be an issue as the box gets more and more use. I would say this is a decent product but needs some design changes. Get rid of the useless "lock" and put on it another kind of dialer opener that gives you finger control and it will be a much better product.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Upgradable
