Looking at outdoor phone cases? Here are our picks

When it comes to outdoor phone cases, you are simply asking for trouble if you’re out in the field for extended periods of time and you don’t have a serious phone protector. They are a valuable inclusion because they allow you to be able to use your phone without thought for being careful (which is handy considering you might be wearing gloves or possibly weighed down by a lot of shooting kit, and don’t have much room to manoeuvre) and you needn’t ever worry about dropping it, breaking it, and then being stranded in the middle of nowhere potentially without the use of a phone. (Looking for something to keep you charged up? Check out our selection of the best outdoor battery packs).
