Baseus AquaGlide Waterproof Phone Pouch, IPX8 Certified to 30m, Cylindrical Slide Lock, Fits Phones up to 7.2" — White

What is the Baseus AquaGlide waterproof phone pouch? A sealed TPU pouch that lets you take your phone swimming, snorkelling, or to the beach without risking water damage. It uses a cylindrical slide lock with multi-layer seals, and carries an IPX8 rating for submersion up to 30 metres.

How deep can you take it underwater? Baseus rates the AquaGlide for submersion to 30 metres under the IPX8 standard. That comfortably covers swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving — well beyond the depth most users will ever reach. The seal comes from a cylindrical slide lock working together with multi-layer internal gaskets.

Will my phone fit inside it? It accommodates any phone measuring 4 to 7.2 inches, which covers effectively every current model. That includes the iPhone 15, 16 and 17 series, Samsung Galaxy S and A ranges, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Honor, Huawei, Nothing Phone, Infinix, Lenovo and Motorola devices.

Can you use the touchscreen through the pouch? Yes — the TPU film is thin enough to keep full touchscreen response while sealed. You can answer calls, switch apps, and operate the camera without opening it. Baseus states that Face ID and facial recognition continue to work through the material as well.

Can you take photos underwater with it? Yes. The clear front and back panels are made to preserve image quality, so you can shoot photos and video while the phone stays sealed. For underwater shots specifically, using your phone's volume button as a shutter is often easier than tapping a screen through water.

Will it go yellow or smudgy over time? No. The TPU is treated to resist both yellowing and fingerprints — a genuine difference from cheap PVC pouches, which cloud and discolour after a season of sun exposure. Sustained UV in UAE conditions is exactly what kills lower-quality pouches.

How do you carry it? A cotton lanyard is included, so the pouch hangs around your neck and stays with you hands-free while swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding. That also keeps the phone secure rather than left on a towel or in an unlocked locker.

How do you check the seal before using it? Before putting your phone in, seal the empty pouch around a folded tissue and submerge it for a minute. If the tissue comes out dry, the seal is sound. Do this every time before water use — it takes thirty seconds and protects an expensive phone.

Key specifications

Where you'd actually use it

Beach days at JBR and Kite Beach, hotel and building pools, water parks, dhow cruises and boat trips, jet-ski and paddleboard sessions, wadi and mountain-pool trips, and diving or snorkelling excursions. It's equally useful on rainy-season site visits or anywhere a phone needs protection from splashes, sand and humidity.

Who is this for? Anyone taking a phone near water and unwilling to gamble on their handset's own water resistance — which, on most phones, is rated for freshwater splashes rather than salt water or sustained submersion, and typically isn't covered under warranty.
