Repairing a water-damaged phone can be a pain, and replacing it can be expensive. Whether you’re setting sail on your next trip or going deep-sea diving, protect your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S with a waterproof case. They are practical, protect and you will not lose functionality with your smartphone.

If you’re in the market for the first time, we’ve rounded up our favorite water- and water-resistant cases to keep your iPhone going for years to come.

Underwater suitcase Lanheim

With the Lanheim Underwater case, your iPhone 6 will be IP68 certified…sort of. The case covers all sides of your device, allowing it to reach 6.6 feet underwater for up to an hour, without any worry of water getting inside. It comes with a wrist strap for extra security if you want to take photos or videos while you’re swimming. A flexible film extends over the front of the phone, protecting it from sand or rough particles floating around. The bag is by no means thin, but it’s light enough that it doesn’t add too much weight to your drenched gear when you get back to land.

Ounne waterproof case

This waterproof case for your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S is IP68 rated, so it can be submerged in water for 30 minutes up to a depth of 6.6 feet without soaking the iPhone inside. It’s made of flexible TPU, so it can withstand drops from a height of four feet. It’s pretty easy to install, and the built-in screen protector is scratch-resistant. The buttons, touchscreen and Touch ID work well with the case and there are plugs for ports. It’s a rather chunky case though, so some cables might not fit. There’s also a lanyard hole, so you can attach a strap if you want to keep your phone tight.

Dog & Bone Wetsuit Impact

You’ll enjoy peace of mind with this cover, even if your iPhone 6 or 6S is submerged in water. It’s IP68 rated, so it can survive under 6.6 feet of water for an hour. Bad weather and dirt are also not a problem. The case improves grip and gives you solid military-grade drop protection, should you manage to drop it. As with many rugged cases with comprehensive protection, there are some issues with this one, but Dog & Bone has made significant improvements over its original waterproof case. Touch ID works better, and it’s easier to swipe up from the side or up from the bottom to open the notification center. In case you’re wondering about the name, “dog and bone” is Cockney rhyming slang for “telephone”.

Waterproof catalyst housing

If you need something that can really take a beating, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better option than this box from Catalyst. This case is waterproof up to 5 meters and has an IP68 rating. It also meets military standards for drop tests, so you can confidently use your iPhone 6 outdoors if it’s wrapped in one of these. Touch ID, buttons and the touchscreen work with the case, and connections are available via plugs, but not every cable will fit.

Lifetime resistant box

One of the best manufacturers of iPhone 6 waterproof cases is Lifeproof, which has a reputation for providing consistently reliable iPhone cases. Fre has a scratch-resistant touch-sensitive cover and can be submerged in water up to 2 meters deep for up to an hour. For waterproof cases, Lifeproof is hard to beat for usability and style. You can choose this one in various two-tone color combinations. It will also protect your iPhone 6 from snow, dirt and drop damage.

Hitcase Pro for iPhone 6

This special case won’t make your iPhone 6 look smaller—its sharp and angular design gives it a sharp look. The Hitcase supports a variety of accessories, including different types of lenses and mounts, such as a wide-angle lens and a “Railslide” mounting system, if you’re taking your phone on an adventure. Using this case, you can leave your Go-Pro at home. Your iPhone will be more than capable of withstanding the weather and taking action photos. The phone cover is drop-tested and can withstand immersion in water up to 33 feet (10 meters). The hinge mechanism allows you to open and close your phone without any problems, which you will need to do to plug in any charger or earphone.

Mpow Floating Waterproof Case

Waterproof cases affect usability and responsiveness due to their thickness and built-in screen protectors. You’ll also find that the best waterproof cases tend to sacrifice the feel and responsiveness of the phone. If you don’t want to lose a lot of effective use by keeping your phone in a waterproof case all the time, you can use a case and put your phone in it only when you need occasional waterproofing. The Vansky TPU case also offers another advantage: it will work with almost all smartphones. You won’t have to give up responsiveness, and this case even floats. It has clear windows on both sides, a secure top locking mechanism and an adjustable strap. The IPX8 rating means it won’t offer any drop protection, but it will keep your iPhone dry up to 100 feet (30 meters).

Turn your phone into the ultimate all-terrain adventure tool with the Optrix Body Glove Kit. This product can withstand almost all weather conditions without any risk to your phone. It features a slim case for your iPhone 6 with a larger waterproof cover that fits on the outside. The case can reliably withstand submersion up to 33 feet (10 meters). International experts classify this device as IP68, and it has been drop tested from a height of 20 feet (6 meters). The Body Glove Kit can support a wide range of camera lenses, but these accessories will likely have to be purchased separately as the kit only comes with normal and wide-angle options. Several mounting systems are included in this kit, allowing users to attach the housing to their bicycle, quad or motorcycle for fantastic action shots. A word of warning for new users though— you’ll need to get creative with where you mount your case. While it doesn’t match the quality you’d get from your standard smartphone case, you’ll have the chance to get some sweet photos on your adventure.
