IMO it's worth spending $7 more to protect a potential $1000 product.

I don't normally care about brand name but Pelican is legendary and I have thoroughly tested this in a swimming pool. It didn't even let 1 drop of water in!
Same with ziplock bag.

Not sure how this is a good price. It usually is around this price with little discounts here and there. The 4 pack is $9 each after the 10% normal discount running.

Agreed. A low price doesn't necessarily mean a good value, just as a high price doesn't necessarily mean a poor value.

Many premium items relatively excel in performance, longevity, reliability, and time and/or cost savings that more than justifies their premium.

I have a flashlight I spent $60 on 8 years ago...but it's still more efficient than many modern lights, it's been dropped in puddles, raked on concrete, caked with dirt, etc...but it works flawlessly, the lens is crystal clear because it's sapphire coated, it's actually waterproof, the light is high CRI and gives better color and depth perception which means something to any that know what that means...worth every penny.

I've had $30 pocket knives that dull in 2-3 months of regular use, but I also have a $250 knife with a lifetime warranty (real lifetime warranty) that is still sharp enough to shave with after 18 months of use.

I have a friend with 3-4 old android phones that were retired for a multitude of reasons...hardware failure, poor performance, lack of OS and security updates, unreliable connectivity, etc...meanwhile my iphone is still superior in all respects and works better than their most recent replacement device.

It's a consumer philosophy. I'm a pragmatic minimalist. Buying high value goods helps me declutter and simplify my life, what I do have is easier to find, is of higher utility and reliability, lower overall cost long term, and I help protect the environment from inefficiency and unnecessary waste in the process.

That old saying comes to mind...one can go bankrupt trying to save money.

Temu has something like this for under $1

I had couple generic ones and water got in after 2-3 uses. My wife's $1200 phone got water into it and will not work. Had to paid Apple store to repair. Luckily it was under warranty and only paid $200.

I appreciate the solidarity. I think it's an important topic. If we focused on value and not price, we could support quality responsible manufacturers, save money long term, help the environment, and receive higher utility from our goods.

The market is littered with overpriced junk. Society is obsessed with low prices rather than good values. It's harming people's lives and the environment, and I'm not even a tree hugger lol.

"THEY" have built an army of distracted, uninformed, consumerist robots that keep spending and never ask questions. Perfect slaves.

That link is for a Haissky/Krulaco case. Many of us know the Pelican brand from their other types of protective cases, so we'd prefer to trust our expensive equipment to a well-known, established brand rather than some random no-name. But to each his own.

Every time I see someone with a $1k phone in a $4 case, I can't help but chuckle. Absolute insanity. I've had some say...I dropped it, the case worked fine. Sure, but they didn't know that until AFTER it may have been too late. The risk is the issue.

If anyone reading needs a waterproof pouch, this is the way to go. Don't go cheap, you will likely regret it...and regret it to the tune of far far more than you ever saved.

Pelican is just a licensed brand name. The stuff is made by casemate FYI, not pelican

I have made it a personal goal (with varying degrees of success, tbh) to not buy stuff with photoshopped marketing pictures. I get that they want to save money, but I really want a company to stand by their product, like I am going to have to do. We need to ask manufactures to develop real marketing pictures with your actual product being used in real life.

I've bought several of the generic cases with high ratings from Amazon and they have all worked fine. After a while they may start to leak, one of mine did probably because sand got into the closing mechanism. I put in a napkin to soak up any leak water and blow into the bag when I close it so that it ends up being like a little pillow. I don't understand the specific need for flotation because all of them floated since they have air in the bag and are not suction sealed to the phone, but now that people have mentioned it I think one of them has a flotation ring around it. I always do a test before going into the water by submerging it for several seconds then pulling it out and tilting it side to side to see if any water got in. Then when in the water I'll check every 15 minutes or so for my sanity. These things are a life saver when you don't want to leave your phone, keys, wallet up for grabs to wandering strangers.

For anybody interested, this phone pouch/case is great. I bought the 2 pack during prime day. I've used it for hours; 3 times in the ocean and twice in a pool. No leaks or issues whatsoever. It has flotation built in so that's a nice feature my old pouch didn't have. The pelican pouch kept an iPhone 12 Pro at the surface in ocean waves

I also bought this during that sale and can similarly attest to how good it is. I've used it to take my phone out on a paddle board and kayak and it's held up very well and kept the phone bone dry.

My only note would be that it may be a tight fit for people with larger phones. I have an iPhone Pro Max and have to take it out of its case to fit it into this waterproof bag.

Ya, I don't see anything special compared to other highly rated ones. Almost bit just for the name.

I've been using this the past 4 months and there are a few things you should note. If you have a ultrasonic fingerprint reader on your phone, it will not work. You have to use the camera for face recognition or draw the pattern/pin. It's almost impossible to manipulate the power and volume buttons so I downloaded an app to allow me to change the volume via the screen. Because it's hard to manipulate the power button, I set the screen timeout to 15 seconds so it doesn't stay on and waste battery. My S22 does move around a tiny bit but you can prevent it by squeezing the air out before securing the clasp. Lastly, little bubbles can form between the window and your phone but that's not a big deal for me. I use this as my everyday carry and have not used it in water yet.

I feel like the name matters. If Pelican puts out a defective product, it impacts their name, which is what has value because it traditionally means something.

If these start up brands screw up, they dissolve the LLC, reorganize, and pump out the same or similar item under new branding and do it all over again.

There is a psychological theory that civility stems from the knowledge of continuous unavoidable interactions with certain people. We govern our behavior when we have to confront the ramifications of prior actions situationally and socially. These start ups and generics don't have that, established brands do. That's why it matters. This is how investment banks exploit customers...they buy up a name, exploit it, run it into the ground, and move on like locusts.
