Buoyant Smartphone Accessory - How to never lose your phone in the water!

Описание: In this video I show a homemade DIY accessory that I made for my phone which makes it float. More and more smartphones these days are being manufactured with ip68 certification, meaning that they are safe to be submerged in water (up to a certain depth). These phones are great for people like me who enjoy being on the water, but even so, I am constantly afraid that my phone will fall into the water and sink down to the bottom. The ideal solution would be phone cases that contain buoyant materials to make the phone float, my from what I could find online, nothing like that exists.

My solution was to make a buoyant pouch containing polyethylene packing foam which could attach to my existing smartphone case. I used thin synthetic fabric from an old tent fly to make the pouch. I fasten it to the phone using an extra loop of fabric which gets stuck between the phone and the case. This method seems to hold very securely and it's also easy to take on and off.

I made this video to share the idea with others who are in a similar boat (pun intended). If your phone isn't ip67 or ip68 certified, this solution will not be helpful to you. If you decide to make something similar for your phone, I'd love to hear about it.

Some examples of current IP67 or IP68 certified phones include:
Samsung: Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, Note10, Note10+, S10e, S10, S10+, Note9, S9, S9+, Note8, S8, S8+, S7, and S7.

Apple: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.

Google: Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 5.
