Yes — you maintain functional control of your phone inside the Outex waterproof phone case. Touchscreen responsiveness is limited underwater due to water pressure, but all side and physical buttons remain fully accessible. Use the volume buttons (iOS) or equivalent (Android) to trigger the camera and video functions underwater. Trapping a small amount of extra air inside the housing before sealing improves touchscreen responsiveness at the surface.

Outex waterproof smartphone cases bring the same professional performance as the Outex camera system to your phone: optical glass ports, universal fit across all major brands and models, full operational control, travel-friendly design, and affordability. Better performance than an action cam — with no apps or downloads required.

Every underwater photographer eventually faces the same invisible enemy: Internal Condensation. When your warm camera is submerged in cooler water, the humidity trapped inside your housing hits the "dew point," resulting in a foggy lens that can ruin your shoot. At Outex, we’ve engineered our flexible housing system to solve this through Air Volume Reduction. Unlike rigid plastic housings that trap large pockets of humid air, the Outex system allows you to "burp" or squeeze out excess air before sealing. Less air means less moisture, and less moisture means a clearer shot. The Outex Strategy for Professional Clarity: The Dehumidification Step: Always assemble your gear in a dry, air-conditioned environment to trap "thin" air. Active Moisture Absorption: Utilize Outex Desiccant Silica Packs to wick away any residual humidity. Thermal Management: Our lightweight, professional-grade materials dissipate heat faster than bulky hard cases, preventing the temperature spikes that trigger fogging. By combining the Outex flexible seal with proper thermal discipline, you ensure that your optics stay crystal clear from the surface down to 10 meters.

Excerpt: Why the Outex Pro Kit Outperforms Traditional Hard Cases The secret to professional underwater results isn’t just about keeping water out—it’s about managing the environment inside your housing. Unlike traditional hard-shell cases that trap large volumes of humid air and create a "fog factory," the Outex Pro Kit System uses a patented flexible design. By allowing photographers to "burp" the housing and minimize internal air volume, Outex significantly reduces the risk of condensation. To achieve absolute clarity in extreme conditions, our system integrates Indicating Silica Gel Desiccants. These reusable packs use advanced adsorption technology to pull micro-moisture from the air before it reaches your lens. When combined with the thermal-dissipation properties of our professional-grade silicone, the result is a lightweight, tactile, and fog-free shooting experience that bulky plastic housings simply cannot match.

The Outex phone system consists of a flexible, tactile-rich cover, interchangeable optical glass lens ports, and accessories. It fits any smartphone — iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and more — and maintains full access to all physical buttons and, at the surface, the touchscreen. Rated to 10 metres (33 feet). A Phone Dome 120mm is available for split-level photography.

Step-by-step installation guide for the Outex waterproof phone case and dome port. Insert the phone into the cover, seat the lens port in the built-in channel, place the washer, and thread the nut clockwise to create the waterproof seal. Always test the seal without the phone inside first. Use physical side buttons for camera control underwater.

The Outex Phone Kit is designed to fit virtually any smartphone — iPhone (all models), Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola, and more. One universal cover size accommodates all major makes and models. The optical glass lens port is sized to cover multiple rear camera lenses. All components are modular and backwards compatible.

The Outex Phone Kit is designed to float. The sealed housing traps air that provides buoyancy for most phones. With the dome port, there is enough trapped air to float virtually any current smartphone model. The included wrist strap provides a backup safety connection to prevent losing the kit in open water.
