Message in a Bottle: AquaVault Phone Case Protects iPhone Lost at Sea

Message in a Bottle: AquaVault Phone Case Protects iPhone Lost at Sea

We believe in each and every one of our products, but we love it when they are put to the test and prove themselves! You won't believe this story out of Sanibel Island, Florida.

Just this week someone was hunting for seashells 🐚 on the beach near Cassa Ybel Resort in Sanibel Island, Florida. The tide was pretty high (and rough), and while searching they found an iPhone in an AquaVault Waterproof, Floating Phone Case. Talk about a message in a bottle! The phone had been missing since early July 2021 and was found August 16, 2021, washed up on the beach. You can see (above) that the case was covered in barnacles.

The best part of the story? Although lost at sea for over a month, the phone STILL WORKS and was shipped back to its owner. In fact, even the dollar bill that was inside of the case with the iPhone was still dry and crisp!

Many people ask what makes our waterproof case different from others. It is truly a superior product, but what sets it apart is the fact that it floats. Had this phone been in a non-floating waterproof case it likely would have ended up at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

What a great story and thank you to the person who found this 'message in a bottle,' shared the story on social media and returned the phone to its owner.
