Merit Waterproof iPhone 6 Case Review








PHONES AND WATER DO NOT MIX!!! Yes, you heard it here first!
:)

But... if you do need to mix the two, you will need a
capable waterproof case for it. And I am not talking about the expensive $80
variety from a company that has "Life" in the title.

I am talking about a great product from a company called
Merit, and their new iPhone 6 Waterproof, Dust proof, Shock proof, Snow proof,
bullet proof (not really) case.

This case is nicely built. It feels solid on the phone. It
does have a plasticy feel to it. The phone sits very solidly inside the case.
Every "port" and "hole" is covered by a thin membrane. The
package contains a small tool (looks like a guitar pick) that helps you to
remove the case from the phone. You cannot easily do this without the tool.
There is also a audio adapter that screws into the case. This audio jack
adapter has a rubber o-ring to maintain the water tight integrity of the case
while you are listening to your headphones.

The built-in screen protector works well. But it does seems
to be prone to finger prints and face oils. Make sure your phone screen is
spotless as well as the inside of the case prior to putting this on. The
package does come with a nice sized micro fiber cloth to accomplish this task.

All the phones controls work with no problem with this case
on. The only thing I found slightly problematic was that the person on the
other end of my call said I sound slightly muffled.

**READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH THIS CASE**
You need to conduct a "water soak test"!!! You
have to do this prior ro putting your phone in this case. It's really important
to make sure there are no defects in the case.

I did a soak test with a piece of paper towel inside and
left it submerged in several inches of water for an hour.

My case had NO leaks!!! So it worked great!

Merit sent me this case in exchange for an unbiased review.

PROS:
- Affordable and dependable waterproof protection for your
iPhone 6.
- Offers multiple protections for your phone... dust, snow,
water, dust and shock.

- Good instructions.
- Comes with wrist strap.

CONS:
- Not easy to remove.
- Some sound quality is lost in your calls.
