The product is actually built pretty solid. The quality of the plastic isn't cheap and the belt too. The aluminum clip hold on well to make sure it doesnot slip open. There is no need to fear that water would leak in. Worked like a charm. I'm very satisfied with the use i got out of the pack and look forward to using it again.

Rather than risk losing your Phone, I think a waterproof case is the best way to get photos in the water. It protects your phone during very light swims or pools or from sand at the beach and splashing in the ocean. It survived in our quarter-mile swimming and several hours at the bottom of a pool. It was the best of its kind, of all cases out there.

This size was perfect to carry our valuables, camera, lip blam, small tube of suncreen, etc. (we also purchased the larger size in case there was a beach we weren't going to return to but never ended up using it)
Everything stayed completely dry and what is nice about this bag, you can hang it around your neck or wear it like a waist belt. We went swimming in some iffy areas in which you wouldn't want to leave your room key, cash, credit cards, camera, etc. We also used it for snorkeling and river tubing. Wow, what an amazing job this did in keeping everything dry and safe!! Will never travel to the beach without it.

The dry pak case really holds in the product from water though it falls in the water!!!
