iPhone Case? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Cadillyak · 05-08-2014, 08:00 AM

I have a lifeproof case and have been happy with it. I know there are some that have had bad experiences, but I haven't as of yet. They have pretty good customer service as well. Another thing to think about is floatation. I purchased the life jacket for my case and am satisified. Waterproof is one thing, but if you drop it over the side of the yak, you better have it teathered or give it the ability to float. Just my two pennies. The fingerprint scanner doesn't work well with the case, but who needs fingerprint recognition anyway.

+1 on lifeproof case. Only put it on when I hit the water. It's bulky but does it's job. The plastic screen on the case sometimes gets annoying to press since you have to put actual pressure to touch the iphone screen.

Pros: Easy to take on and off. Pictures are pretty clear with it on. Keeps water from the iphone. Sounds are ok with case closed. Have to open the bottom somewhat if you don't want the mic muffled when you have a call.

Cons: Doesn't float when the phone is in it, bulky, somewhat annoying screen, no fingerprint scan, no padding on inside and straight onto plastic.
