So, YMMV and all, but since the iPhone lost the old-fashioned headphone jack, they've been waterproof. So, in my view, the biggest risk is loss rather than immersion. So I run one of these on my normal phone case, zipped into my PFD pocket. Not ideal, but it seems to work OK.

Stop messing with those flimsy bags. Get the Catalyst Waterproof Case for iPhone 14 Pro. It's tough, seals tight, and won't ruin your pics. Perfect for your Bluefin board adventures!

Whilst iPhones (and most other modern phones) are water resistant pleassseee be aware that ANY amount of damage on your phone will instantly reduce its level of water resistance. That tiny chip in the corner of the screen? It’ll let the water in. The time you took your phone to a 3rd party store to get a new battery? The waterproof seal was broken the second the guy opened up the phone. Charging port feels loose? Boom water will go straight in.

You get the gist, be careful out there!

I've been using these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016K5TBKS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They've worked great for me. I can unclip from the lanyard to take photos.

Pelican ones that float. Generally ~$20 for one or $30 for two on Amazon.

I have a running belt that holds my phone and i can clip my keys into it. There is room for more stuff i just don't tend to put more in there. I like it as it fits on my hips and doesn't cause me to get any hotter than i do already! It was about £20 off the internet but there is probably a range of prices.

I just shove it down my sports bra. Nike’s pocket.

I've just ordered a flipbelt; I heard a lot of good things about it.

I have a watch that does GPS, Music etc so can just wear that

Mine should arrive tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes!

I will now only buy leggings with pockets for this reason. I have had success with some Target brand leggings that have pockets. I do have to test to make sure the weight of the phone doesn’t pull them down, but so far no wardrobe malfunctions! I do have a flip belt also, but I don’t like having to sometimes readjust it. I’m a bigger lady and it doesn’t fit around my hips like I would like it to. Pockets have been far more reliable for me.

My flipbelt arrived yesterday and tried it on my run. It's amazing. Has a secure thing for my keys, and my phone fit perfectly. Didn't even notice I was wearing it, so it's just perfect for me.

They're not big at all and you could even wear it under your shirt if you prefered!

So I wouldn’t worry to much about waterproof, the iPhone 15 is rated at 30 minutes to 6 meters (20 feet) and most phone cases are rated for less.

In terms of good value, the popular answer is otterbox, something like the defender series. They are rugged and I’ve dropped my phone many times with their slimmer commuter series with no breaks.

The defender for iPhone 15 is $45 on Amazon, but they also come with a warranty that is good for 7 years. I’ve replaced two cases, one for each newer iPhone I’ve had from my cracking the case taking it on and off.

Peak Design used cases!

I have a Spigen Tough Armor MagFit on my 15 Pro and I like it very much.

I-Honva brand on Amazon. No name version of the Otterbox Defender for around $12 USD. If you find the side buttons click too easily just trim the inner rubber a bit.

I wouldn’t bother with a waterproof case, the plastic front layer most have are really annoying. Just keep it backed up regularly and pray your phone’s water resistant gaskets aren’t worn down if an incident does occur.

I am 100% happy with my Spigen Tough Armor. I have used these cases through a couple of phone generations. My phone is waterproof (survived an accidental swim) Even carrying my phone in my pocket, the glass has survived just fine. I am active and not easy on my phone...but I have never broken the glass

Honestly , Ottorbox Defender is all you need. I've been buying these cases for about as long as smart phones have existed.

I'm in the trades so our phones get put through hell. Dropped off ladders, dropped onto concrete , in our tool belts with all sorts of metal and bits, dust, grime, you name it. The only time I have ever broken a phone in the past 10 years was when it was out of the case.

I think otterbox now owns lifeproof

Mous case has treated me well. Phone survived falling off my motercycle a few times.

My top 3 picks:

• OtterBox
• LifeProof
• Speck

These brands have been consistent over the years. I tried Speck and OtterBox and both provided robust protection for my iPhone.

I use a Mous case on my iPhone. I don’t know if they make them for android, but I’ve dropped it so many times, and accidentally left it on the front wheel of a tractor, which I then proceeded to run it over with. Never had a broken screen since having one, which has been nearly 5 years.

Were you using the defender series? I mean those ones have like a second backing that you can also put on the front for when you aren't using your phone which may contribute to it not breaking but mous does sound good

That’s awesome, give them a go for sure! Back in 2020 I left my iPhone 8 on the front wheel of a JD tractor, I then proceeded to forget about it, and drive the tractor away. The back where went over the back of my iPhone and thanks to the Mous case, I still have the phone!

Spigen. So many options to choose from. For people who like slim, minimal cases to the bulkier more protective ones.

Still Otter Box for me.

I used to have the same thing and then just bought rugged phones which seem to survive me.

Currently had the Doogee S95 Pro for about a year and a half now. Due to upgrade soon enough.

You're looking for this guy right here dope af IDK if it ever made it to market

I'm really considering one of those over the shoulder leather cases for mine. I'm female and walk. It would prob flap around on a run tho. 🤔

Nope. I use a Galaxy Watch 5 with LTE and some Galaxy Buds. I can stream my music and answer any important calls or texts should I need to. Works great.

My shorts & track wear have zipped pockets.

funny how i feel s22 ultra as small and easy to use because of back gestures. i used 13 pro for few days and even though screen size is small my fingers got pain due to finger gymnastics to go back.

For running, I like to wear a phone belt. Something like this:

Would you mind sharing another perspective of your fold 7 case also hows the thickness of this case? I was planning to get the exact case for my fold. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't the kickstand tip over?

Also checks the box for looking like an abomination
