ESR is confident in your ability to dunk your iPhone (13 to 15 series) in the pool with impunity - so long as it is wearing the OEM's new Perfect Fit pouch. It is rated to keep the device dry even if it is taken 30 meters (100 feet) underwater. It also has an inflatable mode to maintain access to the touchscreen or simply let the handset float.

ESR has released its most "Innovative" water-resistant pouch-style accessory, and just in time for Summer 2024. The OEM asserts that it still allows the use of camera app controls even if it is up to 3 meters (~10 feet) underwater.

Then again, should the user bring it closer to its IPX8 standard-mandated limit of 30 meters (100 feet) down, they will have to resort to the volume buttons as a shutter. Once back on the surface, the Pouch can be inflated for flotation, yet in a way still rated to allow use of the touchscreen.

The new ESR Waterproof Phone Pouch has 3 sizes: 1 for the iPhone 15 that also fits its 14- and 13-series counterparts; 1 for the iPhone 15 Pro, 14 Pro or 13 Pro and 1 for their Pro Max-series counterparts that could also conceivably fit the 14 and 15 Plus (although the apparently precise camera cut-out fit would be lost in that case).

They are priced from $21.99 to $24.99 in black, clear, purple or titanium and are available on Amazon from now.
