PHOOZY Thermal Phone Case - Apollo Series : Cell Phone Pouch Prevents Overheating from Sun Exposure, Extends Battery Life, Provides Drop Protection and Floats in Water (Medium-Gold)

Used at the beach and kept my phone from getting hot and overheating.

My phone tends to overheat and die and of course it's worse in the summer. I had an Otterbox Commuter case on which protects it well but contains the heat so I was constantly taking it off to allow my phone to cool down and it got increasingly more annoying. I came across this when looking for a solution. It came on time and was exactly as advertised, big enough for my phone + case and even some cards. Unfortunately the very first one I ordered had a loose thread at the top that really stuck out (to me, it was all I noticed) so I returned it almost immediately for a new one, nbd. The next one I received did its job perfectly, but I noticed EXTREME fading that started about 2 weeks in and it only got worse with time (pictures below). A little over a month later it was a totally different color, so I contacted the company's customer service and was assured that while fading/color change should be expected and does not effect performance at all (which was true), the level of wear I was experiencing was unusual. I usually keep it on hard/flat surfaces and the most friction it sees is taking it in and out of my bag, but even then it's not getting jostled around or abused in any way, so it was weird.The rep I spoke to was super friendly and extremely helpful. They responded right away and after describing my problem, they sent me a brand new case (Apollo Gold), plus an additional updated version (XP3 series in Iridium Silver since they were out of the gold at the time). I've been using the XP3 for a few weeks and it's fantastic. No wear whatsoever at this point. It's made to have a sturdier body without adding bulk, has a pocket inside specifically to hold cards (love this a lot, so useful and I hate those pockets you stick to the back of your phone alternative), there's a strap on one side for multiple carrying options (I've never utilized this), and the courtesy tab is bigger and silicon/rubberized, which is actually the only thing I don't like because they put the logo on there and it's huge whereas it was more subtle/tasteful on the original. I get that it's likely for branding, but it looks kinda tacky to me (but not tacky enough to stop using it). I actually no longer use my Otterbox at all because both the original and the XP3 are more than enough protection. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and it's incredibly convenient if you need quick access to cards/reduce the amount of stuff you're carrying. My phone was literally able to make it 3 days on one charge because of this which I NEVER thought would be possible, and I don't have the best battery life to begin with. If I park in the sun and leave it in the car, I don't have to worry, plus it's shiny so it's easy to locate if you tend to misplace stuff. Both cases have absolutely exceeded my expectations, and their customer service is excellent. Would buy again.

Seems to work well. I would rather have a zipper than velcro for a closure.

It works well in the Arizona heat poolside! Great solution to water proof and heat proof your phone.

I bought this after reading the reviews thinking this would keep my phone from shutting down in the heat as I'm often outside in the summer. I used it for the first time today and my phone, after about an hour, still shut down, still super-hot, and although it took a little longer than without it, for the price? not worth the money so I'm not keeping it. Also, it was a VERY tight fit for my phone so getting it in and out was a real struggle. For the $35? not keeping. for $10? I may have kept it but too much money for something that doesn't work like I believed it would. (oh well) live and learn.

Exactly what I needed. Works great when at the pool or beach!

I bought this for my husband, whose phone used to come out of his car after a 12-hour shift looking like it had just survived a lava bath. Seriously, we were one step away from cooking eggs on it. Enter: the PHOOZY.Now, after baking in a hot car all day like a forgotten casserole, his phone stays cool, calm, and collected—as if it spent the day sipping margaritas in a shaded cabana. No more overheating warnings, no more “my battery drained from heat” excuses. It even floats, so now his phone is protected from fire and water. Next up: a PHOOZY for me because I’m getting jealous of how pampered his phone is.Highly recommend. It’s like a spa day for your phone, every day.

Doesn’t work, my phone is too hot when I take it out after work. I don’t recommend this product.
