SwimCell 100% Waterproof Case offers total protection from water, sand, dirt and dust and makes your phone waterproof. You don’t just have to use it for your phone, it can fit money, keys, mp3 players, jewellery, and anything else you want to protect from the elements.

We’ve seen rowers use this for rigger jiggers and Stand Up Paddle boarders use it for asthma pumps. The list is endless, and if you got the tablet sized case it wouldn’t be unusual if you used it to watch a movie in the bath tub.

SwimCell is currently available in 5 sizes and 5 colours so there’s a case to fit every size of iphone, Samsung, iPad and kindle that’s out there. They’ve also just released an armband key case which is awesome for running or surfing if you don’t want to leave your key on the beach or hidden around your car.

Priced from £13.99 and naturally increasing with the size of the case, it’s a totally affordable way to protect your phone and other valuables from damage when you’re out on your adventures.

Thanks to the large, double sided clear windows, you will still have full use of your phone when it is in the case; make phone calls, sent texts, listen to music, surf the internet and take photos and videos with hardly any noticeable loss of quality. This case will make your phone waterproof so you can take photos and video underwater, just use the volume buttons to control the camera shutter. One customer review says it’s “As good as a GoPro”.

One amazing success story saw a customer’s phone returned, intact after being lost in the ocean for 4 hours, the owner of the phone was able to recover all their photos from their surfing session earlier that day. The case will float depending on how much air is trapped inside the case, alternatively SwimCell suggests attaching a SwimCell Key and Phone float.

Created by world traveller and entrepreneur, Amy Day, who, while living on an island in Indonesia, thought “Wouldn’t it be great to be able to take photos on your phone, in the water without having to buy a waterproof camera”. She looked around at the competition and decided to make her cases higher quality and easier to use with no parts to break.

With the increase of waterproof phones though, why would you need this? The thing is, waterproof phones are only waterproof in fresh water, so if you go into the salty sea you immediately void the warranty on your phone. Plus, there are endless reports of long recovery times for supposed waterproof phones drying out after being submerged in the swimming pool. Our advice is to double up.

SwimCell is made from a soft but very strong pvc which is comfortable to hold and has a patented, strong, twist wheel locking system rather than the traditional zip-lock and fold down system which often causes the bag to split down the sides. It has a wide, soft adjustable lanyard so you can wear the case across your neck or around your chest or waist.

The factory hydraulically tests every single SwimCell underwater to 10m before packaging and the case has been certified with the highest waterproof rating of IPX8 giving you complete peace of mind that your phone is safe. Upon purchasing directly from SwimCell’s website you’ll be a sent a downloadable Top Tips PDF which will give you some good pointers to make the most of your case.

SwimCell really is an essential piece of kit for anyone heading near or into the water whether it’s just for pleasure capturing moments with your friends and family or you use it as a safety device enabling you to call for help if needed.

Amy says “If you’re smart enough to buy this before you go on out on your adventures, you’ve got one less thing to worry about”.
