Aquapac Compact Plus protects phones to 30 feet with IPX8 sealing and includes a 20-inch adjustable lanyard. For boaters, the 6.4-inch fit matters most.

Aquapac Compact Plus Waterproof Phone Case brings a clear TPU window, a lever-style Aquaclip closure, and IPX8 protection to phones used around water, dust, sand, and mud. The case fits phones up to 6.4 inches tall and 3.7 inches wide, with close-fit limits for some large iPhone models.

Fit And Waterproof Rating

The Compact Plus is rated IPX8 for immersion to 10 meters, or 30 feet, according to Aquapac's product specifications. Its phone-fit dimensions are 16.3 cm by 9.5 cm, listed as 6.4 inches by 3.7 inches, and the case uses TPU, ABS, and polypropylene.

Aquapac lists compatibility with iPhone models from iPhone 6 through iPhone 16 Pro, along with Samsung Galaxy models including the S22, S23, S24, A54 5G, and A55 5G. The company identifies iPhone 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro Max, 15 Plus, and 15 Pro Max as close fits without a protective case.

Controls And Included Lanyard

The clear LENSFLEX window allows calls, scrolling, texting, photos, and video use through the case, while Aquapac says fingerprint recognition will not work through the material. Face recognition also fails on many phones, so passcode entry is required for those devices.

The package includes an adjustable 20-inch lanyard, equivalent to the 50 cm length listed by the manufacturer. B&H Photo Video also lists support for Aquapac's Dock System retrofit kit and FD-1 Float Device, while the case itself is designed around the company's Aquaclip closure.

Price And Category Position

NRS lists the Aquapac Waterproof Phone Case 358 at $35.95, but that older Plus-size model is not the Compact Plus. B&H Photo Video lists Compact Plus color editions as model 310, 313, 314, and 318, with the product specification centered on a 7.5-inch phone circumference and a 6-inch phone length.

Compared with the larger Plus Plus case, Compact Plus leaves less room for a thick bumper case. Aquapac directs users beyond the 6.4-inch by 3.7-inch envelope toward the larger model, making phone and case measurements more important than the phone brand alone.

Verdict For Water Use

The Aquapac Compact Plus is a submersible waterproof phone case for boaters, paddlers, beach users, and outdoor workers whose phones fit within its stated envelope. IPX8 protection, a 20-inch lanyard, and touchscreen access cover its main job, while close fits, blocked biometric unlocking, and reduced touchscreen operation underwater define its limits.
