title: Can I put electronic devices such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop in the drybag?
description: Drybags provide protection against splashing water and short-term immersion but are not 100% waterproof. For guaranteed protection of sensitive electronics like smartphones or laptops, use IPX8-certified cases from RESTUBE or FIDLOCK.

# Can I put electronic devices such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop in the drybag?
Drybags primarily offer protection against splashing water and rain and can usually withstand short-term immersion in water. However, they do not fulfil any standard that confirms 100% waterproofness. We therefore advise against storing sensitive items “only” in a drybag. For guaranteed protection, it is best to use one of the IPX8-certified cases from Restube or FIDLOCK. The IPX8 standard belongs to the IP protection classes (Ingress Protection), which specify the degree of protection of electronic devices and housings against the ingress of water and dust.
