Congratulations to Charlotte and Gareth our Facebook Photo Competition winners.

Both winners will be sent a SwimCell of their choice for sharing their photos taken with their SwimCell waterproof case for phone. Check out our facebook page for more entries. www.facebook.com/swimcell

If you've just got yourself a sparkly new iphone 6 you can easily fit it into a SwimCell waterproof case for iphone. 

The iphone 6 plus unfortunately doesn't fit in our standard SwimCell, but watch this space and we'll do our best to bring you one as soon as we can.

Did you know you can still use your phone whilst it's inside SwimCell and you can even take photos underwater by changing your settings to use the buttons on the side of your phone instead of the touch screen.

This months competition winner is Juandi for his fabulous video made from the Fly Gili Parasail in Gili Trawangan. Juandi took his phone on his parasailing flight and made this awesome video!

You can check out all the other entires for this month which include SwimCell at Glastonbury Festival, and underwater videos by clicking here to visit our Facebook page. 

Seeing as SwimCell is 100% Waterproof we thought we'd put it through it's paces and take it for a walk on the bottom of the ocean! A 5m deep Gili Marine Walk let's you walk along the bottom of the ocean (which is currently all dead coral) to have a look at some of the fabulous tropical fish. 

Our phones stayed completely dry in the waterproof bag for phone for the entire time that we were underwater, about 40 mins.

Before taking your phone underwater it's probably a good idea to check with your phones manufacturer that it's safe to take it that deep. The deeper underwater you go, the more pressure is put on your phone!

Needless to say we had a lot of fun on the Marine Walk and with the photos afterwards! (Thanks Shed Simove aka Ideas Man)

Congratulations to Alana, the winner of our May photo competition.

Alana took her SwimCell waterproof bag out for party on the Drunken Monkeyz Party Boat.

You've got to be in it to win so send your photos in to enter our June competition.

Travel insurance sucks because most of the time it won't cover your mobile phone!

Your phone is more likely to get lost or damaged on holiday than any other item so what good is it if you can't get some help from your insurance company? If you're lucky they might give you £150, but that's only if you bought your phone within the last 12 months and have the receipt to prove it.

This is one reason why SwimCell 100% Waterproof Bag For Phone is an essential item to take with you when you go away. The last thing you want is to be forking out an extra £700 for a new phone because of a silly accident.

If you've got this far, you know what you need to do. Choose your colour and SAVE YOU PHONE!

We're thrilled to have been featured in Marianne Cantwell's Friday Love Letter to her Free Range Humans today.

Talking about just doing rather that waiting for things to be perfect. Having been months without making videos Marianne made her first one with a SwimCell in the water to show us one of her favourite places in the world.

(You used to be able to watch her video on Vimeo, but seeing as this blog post is more than 10 years old, and Vimeo is out of fashion, unfortunately you can no longer watch it.)

Congratulations to Miriam Staley the winner of our April photo competition! The kids got soaked on the ride but the phone stayed dry! Send us your photos for your chance to win a SwimCell in May!

Congratulations to Sara Griffith our March Photograph Competition winner! Sara wins a SwimCell of her choice for her fabulous skiing photos. You've got to be in it to win it, so make sure you upload your photos that you've taken with your SwimCell or of your SwimCell to our Facebook page or email them in to us.
