Boxit Waterproof Mobile Phone Case - Review

Boxit's waterproof case also floats - handy if you drop your phone in the drink!

Although many of the latest waders and wading jackets have pockets with waterproof zips that will keep a mobile phone dry, they are no use when you want to use a phone in pouring rain.

The Boxit 5 Series is a waterproof mobile phone case that will protect a phone against water, snow, sand and dirt, at the same time as allowing normal use through the case. It will also provide some protection if you drop your phone on hard ground. The case will also keep a phone afloat.

I can see this case being a real benefit to anyone involved with river working parties when they are probably using old waders which have not got waterproof pockets and using it with dirty, wet hands. It will also be great for winter use for anyone involved in other field sports or outdoor activities in bad weather. A Gore Protective Vent (from W.L. Gore & Associates, the manufacturer of Gore-Tex) ensures good sound audibility.

The main problem is the size of phone that will fit in the case. It is too small for many folding phones and larger phones with cameras. A small, basic Nokia fits it nicely. It maybe worth buying a small phone that will fit the case for use when you need to have a phone with you that will be kept dry and working. There is a tall lid for longer phones and hands-free use but then the case is only splash-proof and not waterproof.

The Boxit 5.0 includes the case, tall lid, small lid, antenna extension, hands free plug, versatile clip, plastic spring and support pad. Accessories include a useful neck strap and an attachment for bike handlebars. The case also has provision for a belt.

Boxit 5 Series has a life time guarantee against possible material or manufacturing faults. A faulty component will be exchanged for another.
