Absolutely Works!! Here's Proof!
I purchased a couple of these for a tubing trip my friends and I took back at the end of May. My iPhone 6s Plus fit with a slim case on it but just barely. On a stupid move by me I unhooked the pouch from the lanyard and tossed it to my friend in another tube to take a picture. Needless to say it dropped in to the water and immediately sunk. The phone was connected to a waterproof Bluetooth speaker which almost immediately lost connection after hitting the water. I assumed the worst. I jumped in and tried to find it but to no avail.
Now to clarify, I was skeptical of the product from the get go. I didn't do the tissue test (put a tissue in the pouch and submerge in water) and with how big the 6s Plus is I assumed I wasn't getting as good a seal as I could be getting with a smaller phone. I had to put the phone in the pouch upside down so I could use the camera. But other than that it seemed to be well made.
Anyways, over a month after the trip, and having canceled my debit card (which was in the pouch with my phone) and getting a new phone, I was contacted by a really nice guy who was at the same river over the weekend. Not only had he found the pouch, which was still submerged in about 3 feet of water according to him, but IT STILL WORKED!!! I just picked it up a little while ago and sure enough it still works like it did the day I lost it. The case suffered some minor water damage, some mold and scratches as you would expect, but the inside of the pouch was dry as a bone. I know you may be skeptical of this review but then again so was I. It absolutely works. I am actually buying two more today.
