Anyone use a waterproof case for their iPhone. Don't want one for on the bars just to have in my pocket and want some added protection, basically from water but maybe even dropping. I've checked out the idry case and wondered if anyone has used it or has opinions on what I should choose.

Thanks

    Exactly what I use for club runs :), but the heavier quality 'quart' Ziploc bags as they last a lot longer and offer better sealing.

    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Griffin hardback with soft bumpers for general protection. Ziplok bag for water.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    For more industrial protection, I have a military-looking thing but it's very bulky, makes the phone awkward to use and doesn't provide full water protection. It does, however, look as though it would withstand a major smash

    Yes, the ziplock did cross my mind and at present does look favourite.

    Anyone with any other ideas?

    I have a box of these and they are fantastic:

    They have a double seal to keep the milk in so are amazing at keeping water out. They are super thick as to not burst with milk in them so are very durable. They are also just wider than an iPhone so fit it perfectly.

    +another 1 for the sandwich bag.

    I've got a waterproof gaget case that I got with MBUK a few months ago but it's more fiddly than a sarnie bag and no more waterproof for in my pocket.

    You can use the touch screen easily through the bag too.

    We have small sandwich type bags at work for packing small parts in. I just use one of them.

    I use a Aquapac, not great for use ability but totally waterproof, use it for MTBing normally.
