Why Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable 2-Pack wins, and what it beats
Every grade on this page is one sum. A category starts from a baseline, each disclosed material or coating adds risk points, and each thing the brand or a third party has published takes them away. Below is that sum for the winner, then for 1 product it beats, so you can see exactly where the 45 points between the top and the bottom of this waterproof personal electronics cases ranking come from.

What to watch for in waterproof personal electronics cases
Beyond the PFAS grade, these are the things our graders recorded on the 134 waterproof personal electronics cases in this category. We assess from materials, brand statements and published research. We do not lab-test.
- Microplastics
Plastic fragments small enough to shed from a product into food, water or air without anyone seeing it.
Plausible but unconfirmed on 61 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. EPA
- VOCs and off-gassing
Volatile compounds that evaporate out of a material at room temperature, which is what a new product smell is.
Plausible but unconfirmed on 33 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. EPA
- Phthalates
Plasticisers that keep vinyl soft and make a scent linger, usually undeclared.
Plausible but unconfirmed on 21 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. NIEHS
- BPA and bisphenols
Chemicals that harden plastic and line metal cans, and the replacements sold as BPA-free.
Plausible but unconfirmed on 11 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. NIEHS
- Undisclosed fragrance
A single word on a label that can stand for dozens of undeclared ingredients, protected as trade secret.
Plausible but unconfirmed on 3 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. FDA

How can you tell if waterproof personal electronics cases contain PFAS?
In this category we check for flame retardants, lead. Chemicals added to foam and electronics, some persistent and bioaccumulative. Language like stain resistant, water repellent or easy release usually means fluorinated chemistry even when PFAS is never printed on the box.

Do you lab test waterproof personal electronics cases?
No. We score from published ingredient lists, materials, certifications, disclosures and third party lab results where they exist. Where a product has been independently tested we use that result and say so.
