does this item float with a phone in it?

Yes! Not sure how long it will float tho. Bought it for my dad for when he goes paddle boarding. He has dropped in the lake twice, and immediately jumped in to get it. Both times it popped to the surface. He has been using it for a year and loves it!

While there is some buoyancy to this because there is air trapped in with your cell phone, most cell phones are probably to heavy to float with this. My older I-phone would barely float, my new Commander will not. It has a neck lanyard and I put the phone inside my PFD while actively using my kayak, it keeps it from flopping around and secure. If you put to much air inside it makes it almost impossible to use the phone or take pictures.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I mostly bought it for snow protection and haven't wanted to try dropping it in water.

I have used this on about 30 dives and never noticed that it floated. I've never dropped it in the water to see if it floated, its always been attached to my wrist, but in my experience I would say no

Probably. It won't float, but there's nothing that I can see with it that would be a problem if it got wet or submerged.

nope it won't float but it'll get knocked out of place if the water from your faucet its it directly, it's solid metal so it won't float

No, if you drop the phone+case while it's in water it will sink. It comes with a neat wrist strap to prevent that from happening though!

No. An iPhone sits back in one direction. It cannot safely hold any device.

No, it does not float. I lost my first of these by dropping it out of a canoe. Went straight to the bottom.

In a way it does. The silicon part of the case surrounds the edge of the screen. So if the phone falls on its face, it won't fall flat on the screen. The silicon cushions its.

I'm not sure if the phone floats I have the AIMO Rugged Armor case on my phone. When it was dropped in the turtle tank it floated. So I do not know if it was because the case or not. I recommend this case because it makes it easier to hold the phone and it gives great protection when the phones gets dropped

Hello. I am assuming if you can put in the back cover with the floaty so that the whole case floats on the water? Yes it does!

No it does not float. I would suggest to use the included strap aroun your neck so that you don't drop it, it will not float.

No, the case isn't completely enclosed and won't protect your phone from water

Good question, I just checked and the platform the phone rests on moves and sort of floats but it will not come out and spin around 180° I pulled and it doesn't seem to do that. Hope this helps...

No it does not make your phone float. It has strap that you can place around neck.

Yes it does. I have the same phone. One word of warning. I have a body protector on it and because the phone is on the larger side, it makes removing the phone from the DIACAPAC a little tough. But other than that, I have taken it on shallow scuba dives and no issues. Ofcourse, do a sink test before hand.

It should float, but that will depend on how much air you squeezed out when closing it.

If you don't squeeze all the air out it should float fine as long as what is inside isn't too heavy. I kept my hotel key, credit card and galaxy s4 inside and it was able to float.
