Highlights

Phone in one side, cash and a key in the other

The second compartment is what makes this useful rather than just waterproof. Your phone goes in one side; notes, a hotel key card and a bit of cash go in the other, so you can swim off a beach at Kigamboni without leaving anything on the sand.

Double compartment

Phone one side, cash and keys the other. Nothing left on the beach.

Clamp seal

Mechanical closure, not a zip. Test it with a tissue before every trip.

Neck lanyard

Stays on you in the water rather than floating away.

IPX8 (supplier figure)

Suitable for swimming and snorkelling. Not a diving housing.

Product description

About this product

Outdoor Phone Dry Pouch – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A dry pouch that only takes a phone leaves you with the same problem you started with – what to do with your money and your room key while you are in the water. Two compartments solves it: phone in one, notes and a key card in the other, and you can walk into the sea at Coco Beach or off a boat on Zanzibar with everything on you.
The seal is a clamp rather than a zip, which is the right mechanism, and it is also the part that eventually fails. Get into the habit of testing it: fold a tissue inside, seal it, hold it under water for a minute, open it. Dry tissue means you can trust it today. Do that before every trip and you will never lose a phone to one of these.
Two things to expect. The touchscreen will not behave underwater – capacitive screens misread when pressed against wet plastic, so set the camera up at the surface and use the volume button as a shutter. And photographs taken through the window are softer than the phone is capable of; that is the plastic, not the camera.
The IPX8 rating is the supplier’s figure and we have not seen a test report, so we publish it as their claim rather than ours. Treat it as good for swimming and snorkelling at the surface, not for diving. And after salt water, rinse it in fresh and dry the clamp properly – salt in the seal is what kills these.

Buying a Outdoor Phone Dry Pouch in Dar es Salaam

361 Degrees Adventure keeps the outdoor phone dry pouch at our showroom in Upanga, Dar es Salaam, with delivery countrywide across Tanzania. Come and handle it before you buy, or order online and collect.

Every outdoor phone dry pouch is checked in store before it leaves us, and our staff use the same kit in the field, so you get an honest answer on fit and sizing rather than a sales pitch.

Not sure which outdoor phone dry pouch suits you? Call or message the showroom and we will talk you through the options that are actually in stock in Tanzania.

Spare parts and replacements for the outdoor phone dry pouch are easier to get here than on an overseas order, which matters once the gear is in use.

Questions

Good to know

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship countrywide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Mbeya, Zanzibar and the rest of Tanzania.

How do I know it will not leak?

Test it before you trust a phone to it, every time. Put a folded tissue inside, seal it, hold it under water for a minute, then open it. A dry tissue means the seal is good that day. Do this before every trip and before the first swim - the clamp seal is a mechanical part and it wears.

Will the touchscreen work underwater?

Mostly not, and this catches people out. Capacitive touchscreens misread when they are pressed against wet plastic under water - the screen registers phantom touches or nothing at all. Above water it works normally through the pouch. Underwater, set the camera up first and use the volume button as the shutter.

Is the IPX8 rating verified?

That figure comes from the supplier and we have not tested it or seen a test report, so we publish it as their claim. IPX8 means continuous immersion beyond one metre, with the depth and duration set by the manufacturer. Treat it as suitable for swimming and snorkelling at the surface, not for diving.

Will it survive salt water on Zanzibar?

The pouch will, but rinse it in fresh water afterwards and dry it fully, especially around the clamp. Salt crystallising in the seal is what makes a dry pouch stop sealing - the failure is almost always the seal, not the plastic.

What is the actual benefit if it does not save weight?

You stop unpacking your whole case to find one shirt. That is it, and it is enough. Everything has a home, a security check does not turn your bag into chaos, and you can lift one cube out at a hotel and put it in a drawer. On a multi-stop trip - Dar, then Zanzibar, then Arusha - it is the difference between living out of a case and repacking it three times.

Can I store clothes compressed in this climate?

Not for long, and this matters more in Dar es Salaam than almost anywhere. Compression traps whatever humidity was in the fabric when you sealed it, with no airflow to carry it away. Clothes packed slightly damp and compressed for a week will come out smelling, and given long enough they will grow mould. Pack bone dry, and unpack at the other end rather than leaving things sealed.

Are they useful on upcountry trips?

Very. Fine red dust gets into everything on murram roads, and a zipped cube inside a case keeps clean clothes genuinely clean. The same applies on a boat to Zanzibar, where salt spray finds its way into an open bag.
