I looked at a lot of options and decided this was the best bang for my buck. Like I said though they are pretty and have flowers on them so I can overlook the alienness. The sensor is useless without the mounting boot. It claims to be IPX7 and can be fully immersed in water. longer, even if that meant needing to trim with scissors/knife. It is very sturdy although definitely far too large to be carrying in a bag its not really a carry case as much as transport caseIn addition to the spare pads, aspare cable is included. I think theyre too rigid for a little one. plenty of storage under the phone, but its a big and clunky bag. Then saw the price on these. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate thick socks.
