In the show, they tested it with an IR heating lamp, so it was easy to reflect the heat source back (at least with the silver version). If they would have done it with an oven, it would have failed.
This product seems to border on the concept of making a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist. It can’t protect against heat, which is arguably worse than the cold. It survived the drop test, but a good phone case will do that and let you use your phone. The bag does let your phone float in water, but there are products that are both water tight AND float. The only time you’d use that feature is when near a body of water, and putting your phone (with a case on it) into a water tight container isn’t new. Why settle for something that just floats when you can get both? As for the cold, perhaps someone may find a use case for it, but where would the vast majority of us go where we can’t use the body heat from our leg while the phone is in our pocket to keep it warm enough for use?
Totally agrree. I live in the Arctic where I am outside in -30c temps all the time during winter, so arguably, I should have a use for it. In reality, I just keep my phone in the inside pocket of my parka, nice and warm. I cant even think of a reason to use the Phoozy case instead of my pocket. Useless.
I have had several cases that my phone has died after a few clicks because of the cold, even when the phone has been "warm" inside a breast pocket. Unless the phone is pretty much brand new and 100% battery at the start and not more tha few hours of a trip, the issue can arise relatively easily.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this. When I saw this video, I couldn’t stop thinking to myself, what scenarios would this product actually be useful. The only thing I could think of was maybe a sled dog musher. In every other scenario I could think of, there are much better products out there, that leave you phone still useable.
I have used the original for several years skiing in temperature often below zero. before using it, I often had battery issues. Since I started using it, my battery issues went away. I've never tried it in really hot temps but for winter sports it is a godsend.

For $30 it's a parka for your phone. useless. Rather get a good phone case and a truly waterproof case if I needed it. So what if it floats if it's not waterproof?!
That's because you don't live in a place where it gets bitterly, bitterly cold in the winter. If it saved my phone battery while I'm out in -30° weather it would be a game changer...if it were $12. I can make one for that price.
@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co ha ha I actually do live somewhere where it gets very cold. My phone stays nice and warm in the inside pocket of my parka in the winter :)
Thank YOu!!!!! I bought the original phoozy with the aluminum colored outside. It was an epic fail. I bought it because we have a boat and my phone always gets so hot. I still kept phone in the phoozy in the shade and would still get overheat alerts from my phone. I think it actually made my phone hotter than just having my phone in the shade with nothing over it.
That's because phones create heat as long as they're on. Usually, that's not a problem because it just dissipates, but the Foozy traps the heat and just make a tiny oven using your phone as the heat source. That's why it will work great in the cold... The phone will create the heat to battle the cold and the Foozy will insulate it.
@@Competitive_Antagonist With cold, it will work just as good as a ski jacket pocket. With heat, it will actually make things worse! This product is pretty much useless.
I’m having a hard time thinking of how this product would be useful. You can’t use your phone while it is in that thing. Not sure how you’d drop it in the case. I’m assuming if you put it in this case it’s for safe keeping, so not nearly as likely to drop it. I guess if you are white water rafting, it might be something to store your phone in. But they make waterproof pouches that a see through so you can still use the phone in the pouch. Maybe if you’re a winter hunter/trekker it would help protect it in your coat from the cold while your mushing your sled dogs? Even though it passed all of the tests except the heat test, I don’t think I’d keep this thing even if someone gave it to me. It just seems it’s use cases are just too small to be useful.
Pretty much exactly what I said. It seems to have only very specific uses that there are already better solutions available for. $40 is a lot of money to be asking for this oversized coin purse.
And for those reasons...I'M OUT 😄 I don't remember that product so I can't remember if they got a deal. I'll look it up. I only remember the truly monumental ones...this was not 😀 Edit: I found it on UA-cam...yes, Lori and Robert both went into a royalty agreement together. The people who made it didn't even do a drop test on the show, just the hot, cold, and water test. And they made it look like the hot test worked (but they only used a heat lamp for a few minutes). Here's what I think now...if you're accident prone and might drop your phone from a great hight, just don't lean over your balcony 🤣. It's most useful if you like the beach or pools. Otherwise just secure your phone and you won't need it.
If you think about it, this thing isnt even a phone protector.. Because when i want to use my phone, i have to take it out anyways which makes it totally unprotected UNLESS i put on a case inside this protector xD
Although it did pass the cold test, it doesn't matter all that much since most of the time the phone will be in your pocket where it will be much warmer than in the Phoozy.

For years my mother has been putting her phone in an old suede glove to make it easier to find in a hand bag. Funny that someone would patent an idea like this.
While that would be cool, there's a thing called a search engine. And if you type "x f to c", where "x" is your temp, it'll tell you the conversion. Or, better - 20 C = 68 F (aka, room temperature).

Hi James. Sorry I missed your live stream. I'd love to see another. My first video of yours I saw was for the Air Hawk Pro tire inflator. Been away awhile but I'm back. Cheers from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island Canada. Home of the Nanaimo Bar. 🇨🇦
I think the issue isn't whether this works but rather would people be carrying their otherwise oversized phones in an oversized pouch. If this is what it takes to protect my phone, I think I'll take my chances without it, specially as a person that does not carry a purse.
I could see this thing being useful for when I take my phone out to the hot tub when it's - 20C (-4F) to keep it safe. Right now I just put my phone in a ziplock bag but that only helps with water, not the cold.
Drop tests are BS. I have dropped my iPhone from 12 feet , no issues. Sitting on the throne on the phone , maybe two foot drop … needed a new screen. It all depends on how it hits when it drops.
Ir cameras don't work on glass. That's why you had a big black spot on some of your images where the screen is. It's reading the temperature of whatever is reflected. In future tests like this, put a strip of black electrical tape over the glass and you'll get accurate readings.
Just coming back from Arizona and Nevada, the heat protection could be a really good thing for you... If it worked. My phone was burning up when I was down there. It was 116 where I was last week.
These were some pretty good and interesting tests. The Phoozy Apollo II is $40. I would have been curious to see it tested against cheaper more generic waterproof cell phone pouches though.
Use a ziplock bag at the pool and beach or a Tupperware container on a boat - put it under a towel to stay cool and keep it in your pocket to stay warm - you already bought a phone case to protect it so this seems like a waste of $40.
Holy crap, I just looked this up on Amazon and they run from $30-$50. That is insane for something that renders your phone useless while using the product. I really can’t think of any real-life situations where this is any better than other products on the market.
I really dont see any use in this product. 1. The only real life applicationn I could see would be the heat protection, but that proofed to be less than stellar 2. in what real life scenario would it be of any use to have the Cold protection? I guess it worked well at least 3. Drop protection? Sure it worked, but any time you drop your phone its usually while you are using it or putting it down. It wont be in the Phoozy for that. 4. The floating abilites could come in handy on a boating trip or going rafting, canoeing
It would have been nice to check out more phone operations after the drop. Seeing if audio worked without issue, headphone operation and screen manipulation. Phones today with the smallest of cases can stand a two foot drop without issues.
The black case in the sun did not have a surprising failed result. Dark materials absorb heat, while light colored ones reflect heat. I would be curious if you ran that heat test again, but with a white sheet of paper over the case. Also, your table might have skewed the results as well, since it's dark color (and material) would also transfer heat to the case/phone.
Actually, dark materials only absorb more visible light. The type of material actually affects the absorption of radiation overall more than the color. This is why white cars get about as hot as black cars, and why black people don't catch on fire in the summer.
@@enigmaoftheechidna6279 Protection from the heat. The temperature was 6 degrees hotter outside for the 2nd heat test. I live in AZ and 6 degrees does makes a big difference.
When am I ever gonna drop my phone...... when I'm using it (not in a bag) When am I ever gonna drop my phone in the water? When I'm using it (not in a bag) Etc.... Thanks for the review tho
So putting the phone in a BLACK pouch under the hot sun-I can see why that wouldn’t be successful, even if the pouch does insulate somewhat. Why would they make it black?
9' isn't impressive. RhinoShield's bumper guard alone is rated for a higher drop rating. you won't see me testing it. I'm happy taking their word for it.
It seems pointless to me, if it's supper hot outside your not going to be sitting out in the sun with your phone, how often are you going to be using your phone in freezing temperatures?, if your going to be out by the water and don't plan on using your phone you would leave it in the car or in a water proof storage, as for the drop test how often are you going to be high in the air playing with your phone? It's a useless product
Living in Florida the heat resistance is necessary, but not the cold resistance. I use an Otter Box and that works fine for drop protection, which means that water protection is all I need. The wife found these three dollar plastic cases which are not only water resistant and float, but since they're clear, mean you can use the phone without removing it, which I view as a major drawback. Personally, I've always just put my phone in a ten cent ziplock bag at the beach, pool and when out on the boat - that's 100% water proof as well - but the three dollar plastic case is nice since it has a lanyard. All said, while the Phoozy might not be a ripoff, it's definitely a waste of money, especially since you have to take it out in order to use it, meaning that if you're close enough to water to drop it in, you could very well drop it in while fumbling around trying to get it out of the floating case...which isn't water proof anyway.
I put my Galaxy s6(not water resistant) in 2 ziploc bags with the double seals and then played around in the water for 20 minutes at Mrytle Beach and the sea water got in there and ruined it.
@@seanfoltz7645 Don't depend off Ziploc bags and don't count on shit not getting stolen on any public beach. If there someone to watch over the stuff then that's fine.
Hmm... I see that this is more of a pouch to store your phone. It does offer some protection on drop test and float test, which is impressive, but I don't think it can help your phone withstand extreme temperature.
If ithat's an iPhone 8 Plus , drop tests are expected as they are , since 6s/6s Plus , these phones were built like tanks , while being super thin. I was expecting some overhyped 360° case , but I saw a pouch which was mediocre to me.
I've dropped my SE (2nd Generation) on several hard surfaces, concrete mostly. No issues. The only thing that cracked the screen was my second toe. Legitimately insane, but somehow that is what did it. Mostly about where it impacted on the corner, I'm sure, but of all the things to cause it to actually crack, I couldn't believe it.
That's why I don't wanna get rid of my 6s , and all it has are two smapp pin alike scuffs on righr corner. And it fell several times straight on screen and no scratches , only Touch ID stopped working and wont activate anymore. I do carry it in case , but , don't have protective glass on front. Awesome stuff.
It seems like an "almost practical" product. Maybe if the case had a thin layer of reflective mylar (the stuff used on space blankets) built under the surface, it might handle heat better. Also, there's no excuse for this thing letting water in like that; a fold-over velcro closing system plus a basic water-resistant material would be protective enough for a minute or two, long enough to fish the pouch out of the water. Neither one of the things I just mentioned would be expensive additions, either. Especially considering those pouches are like 35-40 dollars as it is, which is pricey. For that cost, I'd expect the outside to be rip-stop, waterproof nylon.
Yeah, but a show like Shark Tank isn't interested in what works best, they want what makes them the most money in the shortest amount of time because they know everyone will buy it regardless.
I feel like it should be white as black absorbs light which in theory would make it hotter and white reflects light so in theory it would be cooler. But they are out to make money not do real world testing. I bet their tests were very basic and not very scientific. Thanks for the video!

4. The floating abilites could come in handy on a boating trip or going rafting, canoeing
proved to be*
I was curious if it was any good and I almost purchased it for my own review but then decided not to.
It would have been nice to check out more phone operations after the drop. Seeing if audio worked without issue, headphone operation and screen manipulation. Phones today with the smallest of cases can stand a two foot drop without issues.
The black case in the sun did not have a surprising failed result. Dark materials absorb heat, while light colored ones reflect heat. I would be curious if you ran that heat test again, but with a white sheet of paper over the case. Also, your table might have skewed the results as well, since it's dark color (and material) would also transfer heat to the case/phone.
you realize the whole point of the case is to do what it says, not to use extra sheets of paper to do what it says LOL
Actually, dark materials only absorb more visible light. The type of material actually affects the absorption of radiation overall more than the color. This is why white cars get about as hot as black cars, and why black people don't catch on fire in the summer.
Why would he put paper over the case? Lmao
He uses the same method for the phone and covered phone, so it wouldn't affect the result.
@@enigmaoftheechidna6279 Protection from the heat. The temperature was 6 degrees hotter outside for the 2nd heat test. I live in AZ and 6 degrees does makes a big difference.
I really love your reviews ❤️. Thank you so much for. I know something good is going to happen today in Jesus' name we pray amen 🙏 . Hugs.
🙄
Okay, it passed the *dunk* test now how about the *drunk* test? 🙂
When am I ever gonna drop my phone...... when I'm using it (not in a bag)
When am I ever gonna drop my phone in the water? When I'm using it (not in a bag)
Etc....
Thanks for the review tho
So putting the phone in a BLACK pouch under the hot sun-I can see why that wouldn’t be successful, even if the pouch does insulate somewhat. Why would they make it black?
9' isn't impressive. RhinoShield's bumper guard alone is rated for a higher drop rating.
you won't see me testing it. I'm happy taking their word for it.
Well, "Phoozy" is only a couple letters off from "Phony"...
About the only thing that will sink faster than a cellphone, is a full keg of beer. Sucks
Okay, Mr REVIEWS! I need your Pokemon Go trainer code STAT!
Richard Harris??? 877-1500 is the way to go! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whatever mic you were using at the pool was not the good quality one you normally use. Sounded muffled.
I like your UT (University of Tennessee) shirt. That was a good story.✴️
don't forget if your phone is 126f degrees and your bedroom is 126f degrees
then the phone is at room temperature.
Lot of items on TV show false claims just to make money.
I wonder how long it will take before that fake scammer pops up trying to steal people's personal info?
Klein tools ftw
Should have just dropped the phone in the toilet where most phones land I bet to see if it floated.....LOL 😆
Oh man !0
104 degrees in Los Vagas. Same here in Florida with the heat index.
I love the sunglasses in the pool...👍
It seems pointless to me, if it's supper hot outside your not going to be sitting out in the sun with your phone, how often are you going to be using your phone in freezing temperatures?, if your going to be out by the water and don't plan on using your phone you would leave it in the car or in a water proof storage, as for the drop test how often are you going to be high in the air playing with your phone? It's a useless product
I would use a bright orange one to put my phone in on a boat.
But black? Useless.
Pretty sure that pawnshop phone is genuinely a Nokia 5.3
They missed an opportunity by not making it waterproof.
Begging you to review your favorite sheets, I really don’t know what types to get
I sure hope you used an old phone you dont use for these tests because heat and cold that extreme is VERY bad for your battery
Only 114. Lol 😆 I guess that's not hot for Vegas.
This is useless seems like a person needs to make an excuse to use it
Living in Florida the heat resistance is necessary, but not the cold resistance.
I use an Otter Box and that works fine for drop protection, which means that water protection is all I need.
The wife found these three dollar plastic cases which are not only water resistant and float, but since they're clear, mean you can use the phone without removing it, which I view as a major drawback.
Personally, I've always just put my phone in a ten cent ziplock bag at the beach, pool and when out on the boat - that's 100% water proof as well - but the three dollar plastic case is nice since it has a lanyard.
All said, while the Phoozy might not be a ripoff, it's definitely a waste of money, especially since you have to take it out in order to use it, meaning that if you're close enough to water to drop it in, you could very well drop it in while fumbling around trying to get it out of the floating case...which isn't water proof anyway.
I put my Galaxy s6(not water resistant) in 2 ziploc bags with the double seals and then played around in the water for 20 minutes at Mrytle Beach and the sea water got in there and ruined it.
@@dannydaw59 should have left it in your towel
@@seanfoltz7645 Some beach bum would steal it.
@@dannydaw59 go to nicer beaches then
@@seanfoltz7645 Don't depend off Ziploc bags and don't count on shit not getting stolen on any public beach. If there someone to watch over the stuff then that's fine.
It makes a good phone storage or travel pouch at most. But a waste of money as far as protection goes.
This does what ever a spigen case does but worse and you can't use the phone while it's in the pouch
I wonder if the brand new phone or type of phone would make a big difference in this
Hmm... I see that this is more of a pouch to store your phone. It does offer some protection on drop test and float test, which is impressive, but I don't think it can help your phone withstand extreme temperature.
At that point just get a good case and a floating waterproof phone bag and have better versions of both
umm i think any insulated pouch can achieve the same...
Nothing can be cold and hot protective at the same time I've noticed.
How does the ringing in your ears sound when you're underwater?
Just a change of color would of fixed that.
Completely off topic but.. YOU PLAY POKÉMON GO?!? can we be friends on there?!?
Hey 👋,, how are you doing today; hope it was a blessed & lovely day for you Cecilia?
You need to trim your palm trees
It’s useless
It passed every test except the heat test.
So you play Pokemon go do you need friends?
If ithat's an iPhone 8 Plus , drop tests are expected as they are , since 6s/6s Plus , these phones were built like tanks , while being super thin.
I was expecting some overhyped 360° case , but I saw a pouch which was mediocre to me.
I've dropped my SE (2nd Generation) on several hard surfaces, concrete mostly. No issues. The only thing that cracked the screen was my second toe. Legitimately insane, but somehow that is what did it. Mostly about where it impacted on the corner, I'm sure, but of all the things to cause it to actually crack, I couldn't believe it.
That's why I don't wanna get rid of my 6s , and all it has are two smapp pin alike scuffs on righr corner. And it fell several times straight on screen and no scratches , only Touch ID stopped working and wont activate anymore. I do carry it in case , but , don't have protective glass on front. Awesome stuff.
I'm surprised you're not wearing a jacket!! 🤣 I am honestly impressed by how good you've become.
❤️
Hey 👋,, how are you doing today; hope it was a blessed & lovely day for you Jacey?
It seems like an "almost practical" product. Maybe if the case had a thin layer of reflective mylar (the stuff used on space blankets) built under the surface, it might handle heat better. Also, there's no excuse for this thing letting water in like that; a fold-over velcro closing system plus a basic water-resistant material would be protective enough for a minute or two, long enough to fish the pouch out of the water.
Neither one of the things I just mentioned would be expensive additions, either. Especially considering those pouches are like 35-40 dollars as it is, which is pricey. For that cost, I'd expect the outside to be rip-stop, waterproof nylon.
Yeah, but a show like Shark Tank isn't interested in what works best, they want what makes them the most money in the shortest amount of time because they know everyone will buy it regardless.
@@cujoedaman Sad, but true.
Where is that place you dropped from? It looks like a prison.
I feel like it should be white as black absorbs light which in theory would make it hotter and white reflects light so in theory it would be cooler.
But they are out to make money not do real world testing. I bet their tests were very basic and not very scientific.
Thanks for the video!
