all right like I said we're gonna road test these iPhone underwater cases we're gonna start with the beach boy which is 20 bucks right 20 bucks this is a twenty dollar case we have the iPhone five that we've already tortured in here yes then we have this kind of Voodoo Daddy from hit case this is $90 and that's why my iPhone 5 is basically just gonna swim out we're gonna start with me is this though the third one that we'll try is the eye Jill 330 dollars yeah this is but this is for serious business it goes down 3d and then the one downside this is only available for iPhone 4 4 SOT so we're gonna try that out a minute but first we got our gear we got our snorkel gear okay here's the deal ticket case everything seems fine under there and I can definitely operate the buttons up here yeah okay watch right like I go like this I'm like press the camera thing and then I put it on camera no biggie and then I take it the jovian that all works fine I can't do any of that under the water what I had to do was basically come up to the surface put it on video mode and then just take a bunch of video underwater it's for 80 bucks I want to be able to press the button underwater and take a picture that seems fully functional I could do everything I needed to do it's super convenient it's just hanging out and I think it's try there's plenty to see out that is beautiful Italy fish time for round two we have the I gills case which is that $330 case this one is much more than just a waterproof case it's all about really professional diagnosis me yeah I mean the fact that it has a whole dive meter thing means that it's built for much more than we're gonna use it for today cuz we're just gonna kind of go circling the good news is I feel like there's zero chance that thing's ever gonna get wet and then while you're going for the Cadillac of cases there I was so impressed with the little Honda Civic the Beach Boys the Beach Boys I'm gonna take this out because they hit case wouldn't let me take any photos put your own real phone and then I've linked my own real phone I like their hits Luke John Guidi okay all right big bad expensive case we dropped it I took lots of pictures with it that seems like the best but we need to get out there and think there's any choice there is yeah scary looks pretty dry see no way looks pretty dry oh my gosh these are spectacular he goes right to this and went to the one of me really does we went on back to the dive van and looked at our pictures and video I like to call it base camp I mean I think we had a pretty good idea on the beach certainly in terms of underwater performance it's the most expensive when you get what you pay for but this is really designed for divers and I feel like if you're a diver there's devices but I don't know why you'd want to bring your iPhone in before your iPhone into a diving well I will say that even Buie I got a text while those underwater it was kind of awesome you could respond to it I know that's true because I couldn't make any buttons work so the biggest bummer for me about both the beach boy and the hit taste maybe it's the salt water is the conduction of the touch interface because it works fine above but it didn't work underwater so I was just kind of a letdown overall yeah I think the beach buoy is great if you're just looking for something to protect your phone in case you accidentally pop it in the water you're on a boat somewhere or whatever but as far as like taking pictures underwater yeah it's not gonna do the job it case video quality since that's all I could take was pretty good and the head case has something going for it which is that it's an all-around tough case so if you use it for any adventure he's got a cool wide-angle lens on the back and you can take it underwater so there's a lot to recommend this at 90 bucks if I really had to choose between one of these three and the one I think you're most likely to buy reach buoy I think for most people who are just gonna use it wants to really want to take that thing in the water spend your 20 bucks wisely but if the price is no object nice
