For a mobile cover that keeps the phone safe and H2O-resistant, look no further than the EscapeCapsule Waterproof Case.

Most [smartphone cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stash-stand-case) are marketed as the kind that's completely impact absorbent, but what about water resistance? This is where the EscapeCapsule Waterproof Case comes in. The accessory is constructed from a high [impact crystal clear polycarbonate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dbrand-tank-case), which will effectively protect the mobile from any bumps and scratches. The addition of the 'O-Ring' provides additional sealing; so whether it's rain, snow or sand, nothing enters the case. Of course, there are cut-outs located throughout the accessory so that the mobile can be used.

The designers of the EscapeCapsule Waterproof Case are currently raising funds on their [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimodal-waterproof-backpacks) page. The only way to get one is to make a pledge.
