Review on πŸ“± FIDLOCK Cell Phone Waterproof Bag with Innovative Magnetic Closure, Enhanced Clarity - Maxi Clear by Drew Cage

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Durable and secure for dry bags

I bought this to use when kayaking to protect my phone from water contact/damage and accidental drops. He's perfect for that! I attach the strap to something on my kayak (a bungee on the dashboard or a loop on the seat adjuster) to attach my phone to the kayak (to keep it from falling out). It does NOT naturally float. But if you make sure there is enough air in it before you close it, then it CAN float. (It's too tiring for me to remind myself every time I open/close it. So I treat it like it's sinking.) It's reliably waterproof! I didn't know how amazing it would be but I've tested it several times and now I'm comfortable holding it underwater and taking videos/photos. Underwater shots are good (not surprisingly good, but good enough). I prefer not to take photos (above water) with this bag as the material of the bag can make the images less clear and sharp. When I first used it, yes the photos were pretty clear - I think because the stuff was brand new, unused and very clean. But since then, photos have generally not been sharp and clear - maybe because of what's left of the surroundings? I've rinsed them outside after use and it doesn't help much; but I'm wondering if I used soap and water to clean it on the outside after each use, that would help. but i'm too lazy. Photos get clearer when you press the case against the phone instead of closing it in front of the camera lens. Magic magnets! It closes quickly and closes tightly on its own. It couldn't be easier! It's not difficult to open at all; but it definitely won't work on its own. As for issues with stuff sacks like this, I'm happy to share the following: - It opens wide enough for me to easily take my phone in and out. - Although the material "sticks" to my phone a bit, it is NOT so tight that it is difficult to easily and quickly remove it from this phone. I only use this for my cell phone. But I didn't have a telephone there, the keys and ID could be safely stored in it. But I would worry about the key getting pierced over time.
