Ugo Phone Protection
Anyone that has fished with me in the past several years already knows how much I love Ugo phone “cases”. I put the word “cases” in quotations because they are SOOOO MUCH MORE!
I’ve gone through all kinds of products to try to protect my phones on the water, and so many of them fell short. A zipper sandwich bag is cheap, but unreliable. A little fold-over drybag isn’t waterproof for very long. Dry boxes are fine until you have to take the phone out to use it. The expensive phone cases they sell at the wireless stores might be waterproof, but that doesn’t help if your phone sinks to the bottom of the lake or sound or river. ENTER UGO TO THE RESCUE!
I’ve been using Ugo packs since February 2017 and it paid for itself in the first week I owned one. I tipped my kayak coming into the beach when a few of us where in Florida for a sailfish trip, and my phone just floated there, high and dry safely in the Ugo. These Ugo packs are built with the highest quality materials, they even utilize the same waterproof zipper that’s on my $1000 drysuit!
I can’t even tell you how many times Ugo has saved my phone over the past several years. Dropping it in the water, falling in the water myself, getting soaked with rain, and more! I even use the Ugo when I’m clearing the driveway with the snowblower.
These Ugo packs are waterproof, airtight, and they float! The 2.0 case is a bit bigger and bulkier - my personal choice for the kayak or boats. The Slim is just that, slim and sleek - my choice for waders or wetsuit. I’ve been recommending these Ugo packs HIGHLY to everyone who will listen, and now I’ve had guys coming to me at fishing shows thanking me for the recommendations. Well you don’t need to thank me, you need to thank the awesome ladies at Ugo!
