Floating boxes are good. One time I dropped a floating box while standing in the river. All I had to do is bend over and retrieve it off the top of the water.
Floating boxes are bad. One time standing in the middle of a river I dropped a floating fly box in the water. Within a second it was about 5 feet down river. It is not easy to trying to run to shore and then down a cobble stone bank to catch up and pass your fly box several hundred feet down stream so you can wade out to it. It probably was not one of the smarter things I have done in my life. If you are on a lake it might be very good.
