The Best Waterproof iPhone 6S Cases

by Alicia Lu

I don't know about you, but getting my hands on my new iPhone 6S has been a hellish experience — all because my buzzer is broken and coordinating with UPS is like herding cats running from llamas on the lam. So when I do finally get my hands on it (which should hopefully be today, pray for me), I'm going to cherish the hell out of it. If you've succeeded in getting your brand-new iPhone 6S, then you'll probably want to do the same. Not any old case will do when it comes to Apple's cutting-edge new smartphone. You'll want to check out these beautiful, sturdy, waterproof iPhone 6S cases, which are just as chic as they are protective.

Apple's latest smartphone comes with a variety of unprecedented features, from live photos to 3D Touch to perhaps the most exciting new addition: the rose gold color. It's no surprise that people who have bought the newest model are raving about it. However, just like with any other precious device, it needs to be taken care of and protected from all of life's elements and fumbles. Just think about how often you check your phone while sipping hot tea or lounging by the pool or — let's admit it — sitting on the toilet. We risk spilling liquid on our phone or dropping it into a body of water every day, so why not buy yourself some extra insurance by sheathing your new iPhone 6S in a waterproof case?

Check out these eight ace options.

The Bessmate iPhone 6S case gives you the option of creating a waterproof seal by pressing the two sides together, which will make your phone submersible in over 6.6 feet of water.
