Summer’s here and with it are days near the beach and the pool. To keep my phone protected, I designed this Splash Proof Phone Case and wrote up a sewing pattern for it to share with you today. If you like this project, you may also enjoy my “Sunnies” Sunglasses Case Sewing Pattern.
During the summer I spend a lot of time watching kids from the sidelines as they play in the pool or jump in the lake. I’ve noticed that kids aren’t always really good with keeping the water IN the pool while they are playing. Somehow there always seems to be quite a lot of water that splashes out of the pool and onto the tables and chairs around the pool. This is bad if your phone is on one of those tables.
This year I thought that I’d stitch myself up a phone case to protect my phone when I’m poolside with the kids. I’m headed to the beach for a few days this summer and I think that this case will also be great to keep the sand away too.
First up, this case is SPLASH proof, NOT water proof. Don’t go dunking your phone in the pool with this… The case features a zip top and a clear front so that you can SEE your phone that way you know if you get a call or a text.
There is also clear vinyl on the back of the pouch and you could easily make this pouch entirely clear… however I wanted to add a bit of color so I’ve added a printed fabric liner to the back of the pouch.

This is waaaay classier than the zip-loc baggie I make my daughter use for her phone. As soon as I’m able, I’ll make her one of these. I’ve got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for tomorrow that links to your tutorial:

Oh I’ve used my fair share of ziploc baggies for electronics! Thanks for the link Anne!
I was just thinking about making something like this! Love it.
Love this idea! I will have to make one using your tutorial!
Great!!!
That’s ridiculously cute! I LOVE it!
I’m a sucker for anything beach-y! I’ve pinned several of these awesome ideas. Visiting from Pretty Pintastic Party.
I love this little pouch! I saved a vinyl bag from a purchased curtain that I will use to make this. Thanks for the tutorial!
This is such a great idea, especially if you live in SoCal!. I’m making one for everyone in the family. Thank you.
