If you have wet activities planned for this holiday, it’s a good idea to make your iPhone truly waterproof. Here are your best options.
Accessories to make your iPhone waterproof
Recent iPhones are fairly waterproof, but you shouldn’t go swimming for long periods of time. The iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have IP68. This means that they can be submerged for up to half an hour and up to a depth of 6 metres. Several older iPhones can often be submerged less deeply. You can read more about the water resistance of your iPhone on the Apple website.
Sometimes it is wise to be safe than sorry. Whether you are going surfing or diving this summer, or visiting a wet and rainy festival, it is a good idea to make your iPhone really waterproof. You can then always take your device with you if you plan to dive into the water for a longer period of time.
Making your iPhone truly waterproof can be done in various ways these days. We list the best options for you!
LokSak waterproof covers
We start with the cheapest and easiest option: LokSak bags. These are protective covers with a hermetic seal. This means that absolutely no water, air, dust or snow can penetrate the seal. This makes them suitable for all kinds of applications and environments.
The transparent bags are flexible, different sizes and are resealable. Ideal for both your iPhone and your iPad, and you can still use the touchscreen. The version you see below is large enough for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. At Bol.com you can buy two for only 14.49 euros!
OtterBox Free
A good quality, but also expensive option is the Otterbox Frē iPhone case. With this case you can continue to use the screen of your iPhone while your iPhone is waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and snowproof in the Otterbox Frē case with 360 degree protection, including the screen.
This Otterbox Frē iPhone Waterproof Case accomplishes this without adding a huge layer to your iPhone. What’s more, it’s made from 60 percent recycled plastic and is MagSafe supported. The OtterBox Frē you see below is compatible with the iPhone 14 Pro and costs $149 at AppleCases 79.90 euros.
FocRelaxer
This waterproof case from FocRelaxer measures 18.5 x 27 x 10.6 centimetres and is therefore suitable for a large number of iPhones. The case is ideal if you are planning to go diving. This is possible with the FocRelaxer up to 15 metres deep. In addition, there is a removable Bluetooth remote control, which helps with photographing and filming underwater.
There are different colors and models available. At Amazon you pay for the FocRelaxer 99.99 eurosFor the version without Bluetooth remote control you pay 55.99 euros.

If you are not going to film or take pictures with your iPhone during your aqua activities, then this Aquapac 100% Waterproof Sports Armband is better suited for you. This sturdy, waterproof sports armband is ideal for kitesurfers and sailors, but is actually also a great choice for any activity in the water.
You can adjust the bracelet with sturdy Velcro and there is a separate cord, so you can also hang the waterproof cover around your neck. The cover is suitable for all iPhone models and costs at Bol.com 37 euros.
Want to make your iPhone and AirPods waterproof?
Your AirPods Pro aren’t waterproof any more than your iPhone, but with the Catalyst Waterproof Total Protection AirPods Pro case you can make them waterproof. Then they are suddenly waterproof up to 100 meters deep! Everything else remains usable when you use this case, including when (wirelessly) charging your Apple AirPods Pro.
If desired, you can attach a strap to it and a hook is included so that you can attach the AirPods to your bag, for example. There are different versions available, but this version for the AirPods Pro can be purchased from Appelhoes for 49.90 euros.
