Aquapac Compact Plus Phone Case - 10-Meter IPX8 Protection
Published on 09/24/2026 at 12:16 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Aquapac Compact Plus Waterproof Phone Case 310 puts a clear TPU window between a smartphone and water, sand, dust, and mud. The gray-and-black case is rated IPX8 for submersion to 30 feet or 10 meters, with an adjustable 20-inch lanyard included.
Compact Plus Size And Protection
The Compact Plus fits phones up to 6 inches long and 7.5 inches in circumference, according to B&H's Compact Plus specifications. That capacity covers many Apple and Android phones, but the phone and case dimensions still need to be checked together before use.
Aquapac lists the case at 16.3 by 9.5 centimeters, with TPU, ABS, and PP construction. The company also identifies the design as 100% waterproof to 10 meters or 30 feet, while the clear Lenzflex window preserves access to calls, touch controls, photos, and video above the waterline.
Phone Access Through The Case
The Aquaclip closure seals the opening, and the included lanyard gives the case a wearable attachment point. The manufacturer lists compatibility with iPhone models from the iPhone 6 through iPhone 16 Pro, along with selected Samsung Galaxy phones, including the S24, S24+, and A55 5G.
Touch operation has a practical boundary underwater: water can interrupt the screen's electrical circuit. Aquapac's instructions point to the phone's physical volume buttons for operating the camera while submerged, so the case protects the device without turning the touchscreen into an underwater control surface.
Where It Fits In The Category
The Compact Plus sits between a small phone pouch and larger phone cases built for oversized devices. Compared with the Aquapac Waterproof Phone Case 358, the Compact Plus uses the newer 16.3-by-9.5-centimeter format, while NRS lists model 358 at 6.5 by 4 inches and 1.50 ounces.
For beach trips, paddling, boating, and wet-weather travel, the useful combination is the 30-foot IPX8 rating, the clear operating window, and the 20-inch lanyard. Its limit is fit: phones with larger cases or dimensions beyond 6 inches in length and 7.5 inches in circumference do not match the listed capacity.
Verdict For Waterbound Phones
Aquapac Compact Plus Waterproof Phone Case 310 is a focused protective pouch for users who need smartphone access around water rather than a rigid underwater housing. The 10-meter rating and broad iPhone and Android compatibility give it a defined role, while underwater touchscreen limits and phone-size restrictions remain part of the operating specification.
