Small waterproof phone case IP67 Peli 1020

Your phone on a kayak, keys at the beach, an SD card at the bottom of a wet backpack — the Peli 1020 handles all three. At just 250 grams and pocket-sized, it withstands conditions that defeat most cases.

What Is the Peli 1020?

The Peli 1020 is a compact hard-shell protective case with a silicone O-ring seal, certified to IP67 (and IP68 under extended submersion). Built for anyone carrying small valuables — a phone, keys, SD cards, documents, cash — into environments where water, dust, sand, or impact are a real concern. Popular with kayakers, cyclists, motorcyclists, hikers, and field photographers.

Real-World Uses

• Water sports: Kayaking, rafting, sailing, snorkeling — the sealed case survives submersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes.
• Cycling and motorcycling: Clip it to a frame or belt with a carabiner; your phone and keys stay dry in rain and mud.
• Hiking and climbing: The GORE-TEX pressure equalization valve compensates automatically for altitude changes, so the seal is never stressed by air pressure differences.
• Beach and sand: The O-ring keeps fine sand particles out of USB ports and headphone jacks — the ones that quietly destroy electronics over time.
• Air travel: The same GORE-TEX valve handles pressure changes in the cargo hold without deforming the case.

Construction and Materials

The three-layer polypropylene shell is light but highly resistant to compression and impact. Rounded edges disperse impact forces rather than concentrating them. Hinges and latches are stainless steel, corrosion-resistant even in salt water. The hinges are intentionally stiff — the case won't accidentally snap shut on contents. The interior is lined with anti-slip rubber that holds items in place even when the case is handled roughly.

GORE-TEX Pressure Equalization Valve

This is what separates the Peli 1020 from cheaper imitations: an automatic pressure equalization valve with a GORE-TEX membrane. It passes air in both directions while blocking water and dust. Without it, a sealed case can "pump" under water pressure or deform at altitude — both of which can compromise the O-ring seal over time. The Peli 1020 handles this quietly and automatically.
