Evergreen 57 Waterproof Dry Box Case Blue - Mil Spec Protection

In this review the Evergreen 57 Waterproof Dry Box Case in blue is evaluated for photographers, boaters, and outdoor users who need a compact, rugged protective option. The bottom line: this case is for anyone who wants IP67 waterproof protection in a small, floatable package with customizable interior foam. It is noticeably deeper than the prior micro model, so it fits slightly larger kits while remaining highly portable and simple to carry on day trips or on the water.

Key Features

• Increased interior depth: The larger internal dimensions make it easier to store a camera body, small lenses, or multiple action cameras without crowding.
• IP67 waterproof rating: Protected to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which gives confidence when boating, kayaking, or hiking in wet conditions.
• Pick and pluck foam: Customize the foam to cradle cameras, radios, or tools for snug, shock-dampening storage and a neat presentation.
• Buoyant construction: The case still floats with over 3 lbs of gear inside, reducing the risk of total loss if dropped overboard.
• Rugged build: Impact resistant and crushproof design keeps contents safe from drops and rough handling during travel.
• Twist-lock latches with air release: Latches double as air release valves so pressure stabilizes during altitude or temperature changes.

Who It's For

The Evergreen 57 is ideal for outdoor photographers, fishermen, and action-cam users who need a small, tough case that can go on boats and trailheads. Its size and foam customization suit a camera and a couple of accessories, small radios, or compact first aid kits while staying lightweight enough for day outings.

Those who need large storage for multiple full-size lenses or heavy equipment should look at larger hard cases. Also, if you require certified long-term submersion beyond 1 meter for 30 minutes, choose a higher-rated, purpose-built underwater housing instead of this general-purpose dry box.

Pros & Cons

Cons

Our Verdict
