How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsPremium quality waterproof Syncwire pouch bags
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2021
I ordered these Syncwire waterproof pouch bags for a future holiday in the sun. The quality of materials that make up the pouches are of high standard, they don't feel cheap at all. There are 3 seals at the top of each pouch to ensure no water will seep into the bags containing any valuables. I have tested these pouches by placing the pouches inside a bucket full of water with my phone inside and I can confirm that they do their job of containing the valuables dry with ease. These pouches also give you security when on the beach as you no longer have to leave your valuables wrapped up in a towel on the beach alone with the possibility of them being stolen, which has always been my worry. I am yet to test them out on holiday but I am confident that they will do their job with ease.

2.0 out of 5 starsSo keeps dry but doesn’t last long
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2021
So pro - I went surfing three times and it kept my (electric) keys dry.

Con - it worked so well it was difficult to open but personally happy for that as long as stuff is dry. Water resistance = 5 star

However - my third time using it, I had been in the surf for about the third hour and suddenly see my little bag floating away….

The belt had snapped off from the bag because of the cheap plastic connection. Then lo and behold the bag’s seam broke getting my keys soaked.

In conclusion, if this is a single non active use, I would say this would be ideal as the belt was easy to use. The bag when it worked was useful.

But if you want it for water sports, I would advise against it as it doesn’t last long. It’s durability is lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to keep your essentials safe at the beach.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2020
Colour Name: Blue and blackVerified Purchase
Used this for a beach holiday to keep my cracked iPhone safe in the sea. Managed to get swept onto some rocks by a surprise wave. Pleasantly surprised to see that, whilst my body was converted in cuts and blood, my phone was completely dry. Took it in the water a little more and still kept the phone nice and safe.

Also didn’t realise there would be 2 in the pack, nice surprise there.

Will be surfing next weekend and diving soon so will report back after that too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the pouch!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2021
Colour Name: Black+ClearVerified Purchase
You get both pouches in this pack; black and clear, so good value. The strap is securely welded to the body of the pouch, so no fear of it ripping, tearing or coming adrift in a hurry, making them very durable. The pouches are roomier than I expected and whilst made of pvc, they are soft to touch and wear. The three seals are incredibly strong, fold over each other and are then covered in a Velcro secured flap, so giving extra protection. I submerged mine in a bowl of water and didn’t see a single bubble escape or a drop of water inside. Equally, these pouches will keep out sand, dust and anything else you don’t want getting on your valuables. Pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful..
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2021
Colour Name: Blue and blackVerified Purchase
I use these as a precaution for things like car keys, watch and a mobile phone inside my towfloat drybag. Sometimes when I open my towfloat water can trickle inside the float after a swim. These little bags just give me reassurance that battery/electrical gadgets are completely dry and safe.. Very cold fingers can make it harder to open them but I'd rather that knowing that my things are dry..

4.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy pouches with a waist strap that works,
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2021
Colour Name: Black+ClearVerified Purchase
These waterproof pouches are in some ways too good, at least for me with my old fingers. There are no fewer than three very good ziplock seals and a three way fold which is kept closed by a good velcro seal. The issue I have is that its really hard to undo the ziplock seals and also quite hard to refasten them. I just about managed it when using the transparent bag while out on the Lakes in cumbria last weekend and the pouch is a good size for my 6.3" screen phone. It is possible to operate the touch screen and take photos when the phone is in the bag.

Two bags are supplied, the transparent one that I used last weekend and a black semi opaque one which might be more suitable of the user wishes to hide the contents.

All in all a good product and I know I will get the hang of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks great - but excessive plastic packaging
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2022
Colour Name: Blue and blackVerified Purchase
This looks great - large enough for keys and phone and enough closures and folds to prevent water i hope.
However I have removed stars for the excessive plastic wrapping. They came in a cardboard box - great. I can recycle this. So why were they individually wrapped in plastic? Totally unnecessary. For this reason alone I have reduced the star rating. Please remove the plastic packaging in future which will save you money and help the plant

5.0 out of 5 stars Fully waterproof bags for personal possessions
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2021
Colour Name: Black+ClearVerified Purchase
Each bags is a good size to fit a kindle and phone. It has a strong, adjustable waist strap. It has a triple seal and a full Velcro strip. The phone can be seen and swiped through both bags. The kindle can be seen through the clear bag. I checked how waterproof it was by sealing three sheets of kitchen paper. I pushed the bag under the water and it floated. It was left for 4 hours and the paper was completely dry. The bags give good protection against sand, dust and heavy rain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two for £15.99 and does what it says! Possible improvement to privacy can be made
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2021
Colour Name: Black+ClearVerified Purchase
You get two for the £15.99. (I think it would have been better if people could buy them individually for £8, but I am happy it's not just one for £15.99!).
Face ID does not work in either pouch, so you have to use your passcode.
There are three press locks, extremely tight and secure that I struggled to open them! I ran the pouch under water for about 30s all the way round, all over and not one drop entered the bag.
In terms of size, I have an iPhone 11 with a case, and if I were to put my phone in vertically, the bag could just about close (in terms of height). I could fit two of my iPhones in width-wise plus still have extra space. The depth of the bag allows for more to be put in. I put in my Anker bluetooth speaker (which is quite fat).
I think one possible improvement would be to have a privacy screen over the bag so it's not translucent unless you lift the screen/flap... or to have the front side opaque and the underside translucent for mobile use, so that it's a layer of security/privacy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good but broke on second use.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2021
Colour Name: Black+ClearVerified Purchase
After my second d swim in the sea, the zip was broken and both my phone and gf phone were soaked with water. Luckily our phones are water rated so no issue there.
I didn’t had a chance to take a photo as I trow it away without thinking to record it (was very angry)
Second bag I didn’t dare use afterwards.
