DryCASE Water-Proof Case for iPhone, iPod, Smartphones, and More (DC-13) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am going to give the DryCase 4 stars, because I believe the 5 is perfection, and this is a great product, but not a perfect product.
Here is what is great about it.
1. It is really, really waterproof. That is my phone in the product packaging. It was underwater for 3 hours as we tried to get the fish to behave.
2. You can use the mic and listen to music with the included cord. Awesome.
3. The price is right. It protects my phone which cost me $300, plus a two year contract. $40 is well worth it.Here is why it does not get 5 stars.
1. It is a bit bulky for my iphone, but this is because it designed to fit a wide range of phones and devices. I only used it when I am in the water or at the beach. It is not appropriate for everyday use. This does mean that it works with all iphone, ipod or other device. I also keep my Credit Card and Id in there when I am on the boat, so I can leave my wallet at home.
2. If you take all the air out of it, you can not use the track ball on an Android G1 or Blackberry. You can leave a little air in it, without compromising the waterproofness, and still use the trackball. Leaving a little air in there also help sound travel (it does not in a vacuum)
I am partial, since I work for the company, but I think this is still an honest assessment of the product.

Pelican i1015 Black Case With Clear Lid For iPhone Water Resistant Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This case is great! As with all Pelican products, build quality is excellent. I designed a custom retention system which consists of a length of tensioned webbing running along the back and 2 metal clips to securely and effortlessly strap it to my belt, and a "mini wallet" compartment - which is a folded piece of cardboard tucked in the front between the two foam spacers. I used the cardboard from my iPhone packaging, and centered the package's super cool metallic Apple logo in the viewing area over it's sleek black background.
This case could be better if it had the mini wallet built in so I didn't have to add it, but I am perfectly satisfied with my solution. The headphone storage could also have used much more thought - if you just stuff your headphones in the bottom of the storage area, they will cause you grief by making it difficult to rapidly remove and insert the iPhone without getting attacked by them. I am working on a special "cage" to coil the headphones around before inserting them into the case.
My final complaint with this case is the most serious, and it's a major flaw with the current design. The audio throughput cable has only three wires - not four - so it is impossible to use your iPhone headphone's microphone or music control button when the iPhone is in the case. There is absolutely no excuse for this, and I was very disappointed to find it out. I can't wait for Pelican to release an updated case - or even to just mail me a new cable that I could install once they get this figured out.Update - 2010-09-09:
Pelican has upgraded this product, and the version they are now selling includes a TRRS cable which will allow you to use a headset and control your music while your phone is in the case.
Pelican mailed me a new TRRS cable free of charge, and it works great!
Also, this case will PERFECTLY fit an iPhone 4 with Apple's bumper installed if you take a sharp pair of scissors and trim down the ribs which support the back of the protrusions on the rubber liner against the clear outer shell.
Here's some pics of my modded case:[...]
