Outex Waterproof Smartphone Case: Features, Benefits, and What Makes It Different

Outex has extended its professional underwater housing system to smartphones. Building on over a decade of camera housing expertise, the Outex phone system delivers the same core advantages — optical glass ports, universal compatibility, full control, and travel-friendly design — in a form factor that works with the phone you already carry.

It is better, faster, easier, and more affordable than an action cam — and requires no apps or downloads.

What the Outex Phone System Delivers

• Optical glass ports — not acrylic. The same professional-grade glass used in the camera system, delivering superior sharpness, colour accuracy, and scratch resistance.
• Universal compatibility — fits all major smartphone brands, makes, and models, including iPhone and Android devices.
• Full operational control — complete access to all physical buttons and, at the surface, the touchscreen. Use side buttons for camera and video triggering underwater.
• Modular design — like your camera system, Outex supports a variety of accessories: tripod mounts, selfie sticks, triggers, remotes, and more.
• Travel-friendly — lightweight and compact, it adds no meaningful weight or bulk to your kit.
• Affordable — better value than a dedicated action cam, with no need to carry a separate device.
• Simple to use — install and shoot. No apps, no downloads, no pairing.
• Glass dome port available — ideal for split-level (half above, half below water) photography.
• Positive buoyancy — the dome kit floats, and the flat port kit increases flotation, protecting your phone even in open water.

Use It Anywhere

The Outex phone system protects your smartphone in any environment — not just underwater. Rain, sand, dirt, mud, dust, paint, food, surf, and full submersion to 10 metres (33 feet). It's the housing you'll actually have with you when you need it.

Why Use Your Smartphone Instead of an Action Cam?

• The best camera is the one you already have with you. Outex lets you use the smartphone in your pocket in any environment.
• Modern smartphone cameras rival or exceed dedicated action cams in image quality, especially in good light.
• Your media is already on your phone — easy to edit, share, and post immediately.
• Compatible with all camera, video, and creative apps on your phone.
• Works as an accessory to other imaging devices — use your phone as a remote, monitor, or trigger for cameras, drones, and tripods.
• Saves the time, cost, and hassle of carrying a separate action cam.
