Rugged Waterproof Phone Cases for the Great Outdoors
As smartphone reliance in the outdoors increases, waterproof phone cases are becoming a must-have in your list of outdoor essentials.
Why are waterproof phone cases becoming a big deal, and why would you want one? In the not-so-distant past, an outdoorsman used to carry a separate camera, altimeter, GPS, map, and compass. The waterproofing? Well, remember putting all those things into Ziploc baggies?
In the iPhone and Android age, those items have been distilled into a single device that’s slightly bigger than your granola bar.
However, with all that convenience comes more expense, not to mention the fragility of the phones themselves. Dirt, mud, water, and debris all threaten to take your device out of commission when you need it most.
The added protection of a waterproof phone case or pouch can help set your mind at ease whether you are on a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon, hiking in the rainy Pacific Northwest, or even working in a water-based environment.
Pelican Outdoor offers robust water-resistant and waterproof phone case options. You don't want to be without one when heading on your next outdoor adventure!

What is IP54?
IP or Ingress Protection code is a worldwide standard that classifies the level of intrusion by solids, water, dust, and accidental contact.
The first digit of the number (in this case, 5) refers to solids; the second digit (4) relates to liquids.
According to the IP rating tables, IP54 means that entry of dust is not entirely eliminated but that it will not enter enough to interrupt the normal operation of a device. With regards to liquids, water splashing from any direction will not have a harmful effect. The device is fully protected from the entry of solids.
From killer underwater photos to orienteering in the backcountry with your favorite app - smartphones have become standard equipment in the outdoors.
