    Zip lock bags are so inexpensive that you can put your device in one bag, and then put that into another bag, and then into a 3rd bag. If you want it to float, then put a little bit of excess air into one of the outer bags this way your device is less likely to be subject to condensation.

      It will be very complicated and not good for operating devices such as cameras or phones.

      Wan HL Complicating? (ik, this comment is 2 yrs old) I hope you're smart enough to be able to put a phone in a ziplock bag, and closing it...

    How about putting the phone inside two ziplocs overnight?

    Uh, you can still use your phone through a ziploc, that's got to be worth the few cents investment. Plus who is actually concerned with long term submersion? Are you a mermaid?

      DougisLive gonna do that rn but I have a weird zip on the bag that may let drops in but my phone is water resistant so I should be fine.
      just for the minority, I said resistant, this does not mean water proof, it can still get damaged, just takes more water

    I'm going to do this :
    tape my phone especially the charging port
    and
    put it in 2 zip-lock bags
    and according to this video , a zip-lock bag will do you a lot and what I am doing is unnecessary.

    in order to not get your phone wet in ziploc you need to put your phone in a ziploc and fold it then put it in another ziplock then I won't get wet I tried it and my phone didn't get wet and I got to take cool pics and videos

    You can buy about 10000 "replacement cases" for the price of one otterbox. Buy a top quality sandwich bag. They don't rip so easily, and most are clear enough to take a soft focus picture through in a pinch. Stepping up to a small freezer bag increases the gauge of the plastic and generally offers multiple seals, but many have a blue tint. Also a little bigger if you have a book-style cover for your phone as I do. For my purposes, which is to protect my phone in a boat, or in a bag near water, it is more than adequate. My S8 is supposed to be "resistant", but why have a sad story on vacation? I'll take my chances and pull the camera out if I want a pic. I have been experimenting at home and came here to confirm my own findings. I will be going with a box of freezer bags next time I need to operate my phone - or more specifically, my gopro app - in a potential submersion scenario - or even camping! Funny writing, BTW...
    PS - Do any of those covers work better/worse at different depths/pressures?
