Waterproof iPhone case with speakers/microphone

[Alan Pavlov]

Hello,

I'm building a waterproof iPhone case with small speakers/microphone on the front. The speakers have to be small but loud enough so I could hear them under the shower. What speakers and microphone would you recommend? How would you connect them? Alan

Wow. My one buddy has been showering with an iPhone for the past 5 years or so.

I thought he was the only insane person to do this! I was wrong!

Here's a thought. Put the phone down and take a 5 minute shower. Dry off, put on clothes...pick up I-phone and continue.

Good grief! I mean I've heard of phone dependence, but this takes it too far.

Also, they sell waterproof cases already, but you probably already know that.

It would be a lot smarter to take some Bluetooth speakers into the bathroom, and leave the phone outside.

, that sounds like a great project! There are a few things to consider when selecting speakers and a microphone for your waterproof iPhone case.

Firstly, you will want to choose speakers that are specifically designed for water resistance. These speakers are typically made with materials that can withstand exposure to water and have a waterproof coating on the outer casing. This will ensure that your speakers can withstand being used under the shower without getting damaged.

In terms of size and loudness, it will depend on the specific dimensions and design of your case. However, I would recommend looking for speakers with a high decibel (dB) rating to ensure they are loud enough to be heard over the sound of running water.

For the microphone, you will want to choose one that is also water-resistant and has a good frequency response. This will ensure that your voice is picked up clearly and accurately even in a wet environment. Additionally, consider the placement of the microphone on the case to optimize its performance.

As for connecting the speakers and microphone, you can use a Bluetooth connection to connect them to your iPhone wirelessly. This will also eliminate the need for any wires, making your case more convenient to use in the shower. Alternatively, you could also look into wired connections, but make sure to use waterproof cables.

I hope this helps guide you in selecting the right speakers and microphone for your waterproof iPhone case. Good luck with your project!
