Great Customer Service!

Got the drycase for kayaking in the ocean. Works perfect for what I need. The microphone on my headphones didn't work with the case I got so I wrote an email to the company. They sent out a replacement that day and it now works perfect. I understand every once and a while there can be a problem with a product and they were quick to rectify the situation. Amazing costumer service. I would highly recommend this product.

My third try on waterproof products for iPod
July 5, 2012
Reviewer:

Third try does the trick. Many waterproof "bags" for iPod cannot handle the 160gb iPod. This newer version of the iPod Classic with click wheel is thicker than the first versions of the iPod Classic. Looks the same, but IT IS MARGINALLY THICKER. The thicker case plays havoc with the watertight bags on the market. I know, three other watertight bags failed to keep water out when my thicker iPod was in. So pay attention to this as you may want to swim and listen to your big ol' iPod. I love to swim and listen, and to do in-the-water-exercises.
The ability of this bag to withdraw all the air in the bag is unique in my experience. A Valve is fitted for a small rubber bulb which can act to de a reverse pump on the air inside the bag.. This means that all the soft parts of the container collapse around the watertight mechanisms, provides quite a seal against water's demands, namely it is water's demands to get inside through all those tiny openings in a vessel/container. If you buy this bag do experiment with the "suck-the-air-out-system until you are confident that you can make it do its job. Namely to affect water tight integrity.
Believe me. An old Sailor.

Must have for actually using your iPhone while it
July 5, 2012

Very durable, good seal and easy to use. The best part and the reason I bought this case is the headphone feature. I can use regular headphones with the mic or waterproof headphones depending on if I am planning to get wet or not and all without putting my iPhone at risk. This gives me full functionality of my iPhone, I was able to make and receive calls, listen to music, touch sensitivity of the phone is great through the case so texting was easy and pictures come out like the case isn't even there.
I tried both with and without my regular iPhone case and decided to go without for a smaller profile and easier to slide the phone in and out. Once the phone is in you put a vacuum seal on the case but I did find that if you vacuumed it down too much it would hold the big button in once pressed. I was able to adjust volume and lock the phone through the case

Fantastic - Real world testing proved it works

I bought this to protect my Ipod when using it with my cooler tube radio. I never expected the ipod to get wet, but i just wanted it for extra protection. Last weekend, we were tubing and hit the 'rapids' when the tube the cooler was in hit a rock and jolted the cooler tossing the ipod and Dry Case into the river. The case was tied via twine to the tubes, via the loop attached to it, so the RCA didn't pull out, so we didn't notice it was in the river. Some time passed and a terrible song came on, and there it was, dragging under a tube. Checked the case after we were done and the insides were completely dry!

DryCASE
July 5, 2012
Reviewer:

I got sponsored by drycase at the 2010 Teva Mountain Games in Vail. I used the case and headphones with my iphone for the next month in Colorado in freezing snowmelt rivers all over the state, and back in Maryland after the tour. I have used it at least once a week for about 5 months now and it has kept my phone perfectly dry and functional every time. More than that it lets me listen to music in an extremely wet, rugged environment where i previously was unable to. The headphones are surprisingly good quality, and i find myself using them about half the time now even when im not on the water, when i dont want to mess up my etymotics. Having listened to deadmau5 with perfect clarity while running class V+ should be plenty of testimony to the value you get for your money with this product.
