You don’t have to leave your smartphone behind when you’re heading out on an adventure. And if you’re planning on being near water, you’ll want the protection that the best waterproof phone cases provide to keep your phone safe and dry.

The best waterproof phone cases will also keep out sand, dust, and dirt, and often offer some protection against drops. Many cases also float, so you can easily retrieve your phone if it falls into a lake or river.

The name says it all. CaliCase's Universal Waterproof Floating Case is an excellent choice for outdoor adventurers who enjoy boating, rafting or kayaking.

Even a waterproof case that offers hundreds of meters of protection is of little use if you can't retrieve your precious smartphone from the bottom of the lake it fell into.
