Swim Shorts for Big Phones: Will Your Phone Fit?

Got a Pro Max, Ultra or Plus? How to check your phone fits a waterproof pocket, which phones fit ours, and what to do about cases.

Swim shorts with a waterproof pocket that fits large phones

Most large phones fit our waterproof pocket. It's 201 × 140mm inside with a 158mm opening, which takes phones up to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 8 Pro in a slim case. Folding phones don't fit when open. If your phone's dimensions plus case are under those measurements, it will slide in.

How to check your phone

  1. Look up your phone's height and width (or measure it in its case).
  2. Compare the width to the 158mm opening, and the height to the 201mm inside length.
  3. Leave a little room. A phone that just fits is harder to slide in with wet hands.

Our phone fit guide lists popular models.

What about cases?

  • Slim cases: usually fine.
  • Rugged or wallet cases: can be too thick. Take the phone out of a bulky case for swimming, or check the measurements with the case on.

Can I fit more than a phone?

Yes. Alongside most phones there's room for a car key, a card and some folded cash.

Why size matters for waterproofing

A pocket that's overstuffed puts strain on the seal. Our pocket closes itself with magnets, and it seals best when it isn't forced shut over a phone that's too big.

Which shorts have this pocket?

All of our AquaStash swim shorts, including the men's black swim shorts, women's Hinterland Green and The Pass mid-length. Other brands we stock have their own pocket sizes, listed on each product page.

FAQs

Will an iPhone Pro Max fit?

Yes, up to the iPhone 15 Pro Max in a slim case. Check newer models against the 201 × 140mm measurements.

Will a folding phone fit?

Not when it's open. Closed, check its dimensions against the pocket.
