About Apple Founded in a garage in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple began as a personal computer pioneer that today makes everything from laptops to portable media players. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, the consumer electronics giant entered the smartphone market with the iPhone in 2007, and the tablet market with the iPad in 2010, and the smartwatch market with the Apple Watch in 2014.

iPhone 6 Waterproof Cases



It would have been nice if Apple had made the new iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus waterproof, or at least water resistant. One of the most common culprits for smartphone damage is liquids. Phones get dunked in the toilet, dropped in puddles, and have drinks spilled all over them. You can take your chances, or you can shop for water resistant or waterproof iPhone 6 cases.
Updated on 5-26-2015 by Simon Hill: Added cases by Hitcase, Lifebox, Vansky, Bessmate, and Optrix.



Hitcase Pro for iPhone 6 ($100)

It’s a striking, angular look that adds serious bulk to your iPhone 6, but the Hitcase is designed to work in conjunction with a range of accessories, including lenses and different types of mounts. If you want to do some action filming, and use your iPhone 6 instead of a Go Pro, it could be worth a look. The case is very solid, offering waterproofing up to 33 feet (10 meters) and rugged drop protection. The hinge mechanism makes it easy to open and close. You can use your iPhone with the case on, but you’ll need to take it off, or use an adapter, for most chargers and headphones. You get the wide lens and “Railslide” mounting system with it.








LifeBox Rugged Protection Case ($40)

Here’s a tough case that can take some punishment. This rugged offering from LifeBox gets an IP68 rating. It’s fully submersible in water at a depth of up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) for an hour. It also meets military drop test standard 810F-516, which means it can survive falls of up to 6.6 feet unscathed. It will even guard against dust, dirt, and extreme temperatures. Unfortunately, it does impact touch sensitivity, the button covers are stiff, and you might struggle to get a third-party charger or headphone jack to plug in. You can get it in black, green, white, dark red, or purple.


Vansky Universal Waterproof Case ($15)

The unfortunate truth about the vast majority of waterproof cases, is that they negatively impact on usability. Technically, your iPhone 6 will work with the case on, but it’s going to be a little tougher to handle, a little less responsive, and slightly muffled. If you only need the waterproofing from time to time, you may be better served by a pouch design, like this one from Vansky. It’s a TPU pouch that will work with any smartphone. It has clear windows on either side, a secure locking mechanism up top, and an adjustable strap. The IPX8 rating means that it won’t provide any drop protection, but it will keep your iPhone dry up to depths of 100 feet (30 meters). You can also use your iPhone 6 in the pouch, but it’s definitely awkward.





Bessmate Underwater Case ($21)

Let’s be honest, the big attraction with this case from Bessmate is the surprisingly low price tag. It matches the IP68 rating that most waterproof iPhone 6 cases carry, which means dips at up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) for up to an hour should not be a problem. This case also promises to offer good drop protection, keeping your iPhone 6 safe, even at falls from 6.6 feet. It has the typical array of problems: firm button covers, some impact on sound and touch sensitivity, and the need to be perfectly aligned when closing to ensure it’s really waterproof. It also has a kickstand on the back, but it’s pretty flimsy. Ultimately, the iPhone 6 is perfectly usable with the case on, and this offering is great value compared to some of the competition.



Optrix Body Glove Kit ($120)

This is another waterproof case that’s designed to turn your iPhone 6 into an adventure camera that you can use in all weathers. It includes a thin shell for your iPhone 6 with a larger waterproof case that it slides into easily. It clamps shut securely and offers waterproofing in depths of up to 33 feet (10 meters). It also carries an IP68 rating, and it has been drop tested at up to 20 feet (6 meters). You can screw in a range of different lenses, but it only comes with the normal and wide-angle varieties. There are also various mounts available, so you can attach it to anything, from a surfboard to a bike. It’s bulky, but you can use your phone with the case on.
