Cell phones are expensive. After you've invested in a new device, you'll probably want a good phone case to protect it. Our phones hold precious photos, conversations and all our contacts. And most of us just can't afford to expose them to the risks of everyday life, especially anything water-related. With Prime Day sales already popping up, right now, you can get the Pelican waterproof phone pouch for just $17 after a 45% discount. This is a great way to save your phone from those rice bag tricks. Whether you're heading to the beach, the pool, the bathroom or just dealing with unpredictable weather, this waterproof floating phone cover will keep your device safe and dry.

For $17, you get a pair of the Pelican Marine waterproof phone pouches (available for both Android and iPhones) which are made out of high-density foam and built-in air cushions that help keep the cover afloat in water. Each cover comes with a detachable lanyard -- which allows you to wear the case around your neck or the wrist for easy (and safe) access.

The word "pouch" might make you doubt the cover's functionality, but rest assured, these are made to be fully functional. This means you can continue using your phone's buttons as well as the touchscreen, even after it has been secured in the case. If you are a fan of underwater adventures, this feature can be great for taking photos without worrying about water damage.
