Waterproof cases for iPhone 7

iPhone 7 water resistant

The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are “water resistant” (though Apple’s warranty doesn’t cover liquid damage), and that’s fine for accidental spills and splashes, but it’s not good enough protection for taking pictures in the pool. For that, you’re going to want a waterproof case.

Since the iPhone 7 is still rather new, there aren’t a ton of waterproof cases available for it just yet—popular accessory-maker Lifeproof still says ‘Coming Soon’ on its website—but we were able to put together a list of some solid options based on feedback and features.

I’m not real familiar with the brand Meritcase, and there’s not a ton of feedback on Amazon regarding their products, but we included the Crystal case in our roundup because it has some nice features and is backed by a 12-month warranty. Some of the features include IP68 waterproof rating, thin 0.34in profile, embedded mute button, rubber plug for charging port, and more.

You can buy the Meritcase Crystal waterproof case for iPhone 7 for $26.

Sunwukin’s waterproof cases for previous gen iPhones have gotten pretty solid reviews, and its iPhone 7 model currently sits at 5 stars on Amazon. It too features IP68 waterproofing, a built-in TPC screen protector, and a plug for the charging port, all backed by a 12-month warranty. The manufacturer says the case can protect your phone for in water for up to 2 hours at a depth of 6.6 ft.

You can buy the Sunwukin waterproof case for iPhone 7 for $22.

i-Blason Waterproof Case for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

i-Blason is one of the more familiar names on this list. We’ve included their cases in some of our other roundups because they are so highly rated by customers and reviewers. Their iPhone 7 waterproof case is IP67 certified, which means it can sit in 1m of water for 30 minutes. This is the same rating, I believe, as the iPhone 7, but again it’s perfect for being an extra layer of protection

You can buy the i-Blason waterproof case for the iPhone 7 for $22 and the iPhone 7 Plus for $22.
