TPU Guide Waterproof Case for iPad and iPhone by Sea to Summit – Review & Giveaway


Reviewed by Alison

Sea to Summit TPU Guide Waterproof Pouch for iPad One Color, One Size Do you enjoy going out and doing active water activities but worry about your iPad or iPhone?  Have no fear, the TPU Guide Waterproof Case for the iPad and TPU Guide Waterproof Case for the iPhone are here from Sea to Summit.  Perfect for anyone with an active waterbased lifestyle, this case will protect your iPad or iPhone while keeping it accessible and safe.   The case consists of a pouch which utilizes Velcro® closures after sliding in the tablet and folding over the material.  As you can see from the photo, the iPad is accessible via a screen sized “window” made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)  and usable while protected in the case. The closure is waterproof to permit a brief submersion without water entry and features attachment points which allow you to “lash” or secure the iPad or iPhone to your boat, kayak, canoe, at the beach or the pool.  As a sailor, I know how items can get impacted by the elements and I know I would feel more comfortable encasing my iPad in this while using it for navigation, or even just bringing it along on a trip just in case your iPad or iPhone fell inside the water to prevent from total loss.  The case also features a nylon backing with a TPU window which allows your rear camera on the iPad 2 and iPad 3rd generation to work.  The pouch weighs a mere 2.3 ounces so it does not add much weight to the overall iPad or iPhone itself.

In terms of features, I really liked that it was photo taking and user friendly. I liked that you could use both the iPad and iPhone while they were protected inside the case. Neither case felt bulky and were waterproof, lightweight and also protected my iPad and iPhone from dust and salt. As a test, I immersed the case in the bathtub to see if water would enter and it lived up to it’s name and remained waterproof for the five minutes I had it in the tub.  I would not recommend intentionally submersing your iPad or iPhone, but just in case I think these cases provide a little bit of extra insurance.  This is a perfect gift for the active Dad or recent graduate in your life who loves any type of water based activity.

  1. Meryl says:

    What a great idea! I would love to use this case for the iPad at the pool or beach and not have to worry about water damage.

  2. Alison says:

    I agree @Meryl – I love knowing that my iPad is protected and safe!

  3. Anita says:

    Hubbys a plumber and uses his iPad for work, this would be great for him on the jobsite. ;)

  4. Jennifer says:

    Pool and beach of course, but also in the bathtub and while taking a walk in the rain while my toddler sits in her stroller. Also, it often rains here, so I would like my iPad safe if I want to take it to work on a rainy day. Great invention!

  5. Emily says:

    It would be great to have when I am working around the pool.

  6. Emily says:

    The iPad case would be useful when at the pool. I would not worry about water damage.

  7. Niamh says:

    This case would be great for taking our iPad with us to the lake.

  8. Niamh says:

    It would be great to use on my iPhone when we hit the watermark & splash pads this Summer.

  9. Laura says:

    Great for the beach!

  10. Janet Bymers says:

    We bring our iPad to the beach!

  11. Helen Wagner says:

    The waterproof iPad case would be great to have at the beach or while at the pool! I could also use it at a summer camp where I work!

  12. Helen Wagner says:

    I would love to win the iPhone waterproof case for protection from pools, the ocean, and all things water. A rogue wave ruined my hubby’s brand new phone last year in Florida…I sure wish we had had one of these then!

  13. Christine Horvath says:

    Either of these cases would be awesome! It would allow me to use my iDevices by the pool, at the beach, near the tub, or just outside. Would also be helpful just in general so I dont have to worry about kids spilling things around the iPad or drooling.

  17. Tammy S says:

    My daughter uses her iPad for communication, so we would use this case on her iPad when we go swimming.

    • Alison says:

      @Tammy – I wouldn’t recommend putting the case in the water with your device just in case it leaks, but it is great to use poolside for the occasional splash.

  18. Julie Ahern says:

    We would love the iPad cover to use by the pool!

  19. Frances says:

    I would use the waterproof iPad case to teach appropriate social skills during pool and sprinkler time. Also it would allow me to use the iPad while I am cooking with students

  20. Mel says:

    I have a 4yo sensory seeker with ASD who uses both an iPad and an iPod Touch (does the iPhone case fit the iPod touch?). So far we have replaced one iPod that was thrown in the kitchen sink with the washing up, and my iPhone – which he attempted to flush down the toilet! lol In addition to placing things in water he also likes to pour his drink bottle over things. While he hasn’t done this to the iPad (yet), the TPU case would provide us with peace of mind. :) Thanks for the review.

  21. Samantha says:

    I would love to use this for my iPad when we go camping,to the pool & beach

  22. MJ says:

    I am entering for the iPad cover. I am afraid to take it on the boat. This would be great so I can read while the guys are fishing!

  23. Jean says:

    I will be getting an iPhone later this week and would love to be entered into the drawing for that case. I am from Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes so the case would provide protection when I am on the paddle boat, kayak, on the beach, or floating on the fun island soaking up some sunshine. Thanks for considering me.

  24. Carrie W says:

    For me, I could use it to play words witH friends in the tub. For my school iPad, I would use it with my kids with CP that have problems with excessive drool.

  25. Kelli Morton says:

    I could use this case for my son’s iPad. Many times it’s a job to get him to cooperate with us in the bathtub…and his latest obsession is wanting EVERYTHING (stuffed animals, video games, iPad, toys, etc…) to go into the bathtub, when we say no he doesn’t understand why. This would make bath time a WHOLE lot easier on him and us!

  26. Bonnie Bobeck says:

    This case would be great for protecting my son’s iPad. He needs it wherever he goes and so we are currently unable to take it to the pool, beach, fishing and camping so we are unable to participate in these events. It would also help to be able to take it into the bathroom to help him during bathtime, brushing teeth and washing hands. This case would give us back our freedom and allow us to participate in activities that we love and to share those with our son!

  27. nikki says:

    i’d use it with my kids at their first trip to the beach this summer!
    Great giveaway — thanks!

  28. nikki says:

    Registering for iPhone case — I am a swimmer for fitness and health and have my phone with me when at the pool and away from my kids. This case is more than a nice-to-have — it’s necessary! Great product — thanks!

  29. Barbara DeLarwelle says:

    Would use this for ipad against spills and such with the little ones here.

  30. Matt says:

    Would use the case for the iPad when taking it on camping (backpacking, car camping or mountaineering trips) as well as fly fishing trips. Wife loves her iPad and would love for her to be able to take it along on our trips.

  31. Joyce says:

    We are heading to the beach and I would love to be able to use it to keep my 3 yr old granddaughter occupied. And of course to read!

  32. Stephanie says:

    With two splashtastic kids we go to the pool, and bathtub a lot. We also go camping on a lake and it would be nice to do my sons therapy while there on the iPad without worry!

  33. Toby Price says:

    I would use it to help with my kids and our pool. They love their i-toys but the oldest have autism and sometimes have accidents with devices around water.

    Thank you,

    Toby-Wan @jedipadmaster

  34. Cheryl B says:

    I would use it at the pool.

  35. Morris says:

    I would use both of these cases while on vacation with my brothers and/or best friends children. Also, my girlfriend could borrow it and help to teach her students.

  36. EmilyGabby says:

    If I won the iPhone case I would use it at the pool all summer.

  37. amloften says:

    My daughter has Down Syndrome and swallowing issues so she is prone to drooling, especially when she is really focused on something. She benefits greatly with selected apps but I worry about the damage the drool might do. This would be fantastic!

  38. Christina says:

    Awesome for those pool/beach trips!

  39. Suzanne berhow says:

    I use my phone everywhere! I never leave my room without it but have to try to keep it dry when it rains heavily. I keep all my data on it and even collect data between classroom and speech room. This would allow that to be consistent.

  40. Amy Nelson says:

    I would use the iPad case on my work iPad when working with my students that drool. I would use the iPhone case when I go to the beach with my kids.

  41. Emily says:

    Great to use at the pool or when working with students with saliva control issues. Even great to have when working with students during snack time.

  42. Rebecca Bird says:

    I would love this for my partner, he works on a mine site and his phone is getting ruined by the dust!

  43. Jeannette Solimine says:

    It would be great for using in the kitchen to protect iPad while using cookbooks working with my daughter teaching her some basic cooking.

  44. Be perfect for the pool, lake & beach.

  45. Irena says:

    I would use it at the beach!

  46. Leanne says:

    We hike, kayak, live near a river so this would be a great accessory for my iPad!

  47. Lisa Burk says:

    Would love to win this for my son’s iPad. He is quite the drooler and this would help protect his device when he has it on his tray or lap. :)

  48. Jennifer S. says:

    Definitely be great for protection when my preschoolers are using it! Have to be prepared for anything!

  49. spayskdet says:

    I’m keeping this one for work with clients who have saliva control difficulties.

  50. Susan Gremillion West says:

    7 yr old twins who love all things i-electronic and want to use them EVERYWHERE! Need I say more?

  51. Samantha says:

    My daughter loves water so we spend a lot of time at pools, waterparks & beach and this would be great for all those times -she has also been know to spill her drink right near my iPad & iPhone too :(

  52. Angie Boylan says:

    I am always paranoid my iphone will have this uncontrollable urge to go swimming one day…. will feel better about that if it has a waterproof case on !

  53. Narelle Rock says:

    This would be great for hubby when he is using ours, he tends to be clumsy and is always spilling his drinks everywhere!

  54. Jennifer Johnston says:

    I have 4 kids waterproofing my iphone would be AMAZING!!

  55. I would use this on my son’s iPad to protect it from the beach and every day spills

  56. we dont have any prtection for our ipads and this would be great for my son to prtect his when he takes it to school

  57. This would be perfect to take camping! Waterproof – sand and salt proof!! Sounds like it may actually be kid and hubby proof lol!! – even Mum proof – I am always spilling drinks!

  58. I’d feel much more comfortable taking the iPad outside with the kids if I had one of these to keep it safe.

  59. Laura Rid says:

    would like one for clayton so next time he goes out fishing i dont need to buy a complete new phone because its gone for a swim hehe

  60. Holly C says:

    I live where water is a big part of life, rain, beaches, pools. I also will be going on a cruise for individuals with Down Syndrome where there will be no shortage of water activities. I could really use this case to protect my iPad.

  61. Jess S says:

    Would love this for myself….. Take it on water rides and take videos without having to worry about my iPhone.

  62. Bev says:

    with twin 3 yr old boys who love water in any form this would really come in handy
