Yes, we all know that the iPhone 11 Pro is built with water resistance up to depths of four meters for 30 minutes, even when it's naked. The thing is, Apple has admitted that the phone's water-resistant properties can deteriorate with time. If you look closely at the fine print, water damage is not covered under the iPhone's stock warranty. Who wants to take that chance? Of the best iPhone 11 Pro waterproof cases would have to be the Dooge Fully Sealed Waterproof Case. It extends the phone's waterproof depth to five meters. If you are looking for some extra water protection, here are the best options.

Best Color Choices: LifeProof FRĒ Series Waterproof Case
Now, this is a good-looking case! Most waterproof cases for the iPhone 11 Pro come in a standard black/transparent color combo, but not this one! Here you have a choice between five colors, each more eye-popping than the last. Our favorite would have to be fire sky, but the yellow and lavender shades are also lovely to behold.
Besides the bright color choices, this case is, of course, also fully waterproof up to two meters and built with extra-strong impact protection. Some customers complain that the screen protector is prone to bubbles, but this seems to occur only rarely. It's pretty to look at with incredible functionality at the same time!
Pros:
- Eye-popping color choices
- Strong brand credibility
- Comes with a one-year warranty
Cons:
- A bit bulky
- Installation can take several tries to get it right
- Screen protector occasionally prone to bubbles
