    It might not be the rain that gets the phone - the sweat would be more corrosive.

    I can use it fine when its in the bag and it doesn't make the phone any bulkier.

    Sweat is corrosive to a mobile phone?

    What do you sweat? Sulphuric acid?

    LOL - I'm no alien - but yep sweat is corrosive. Apparently sweat is almost as corrosive as sea water. Check out the stem bolts on any bike that's been on the turbo for any length of time.

    Jesus.

    Sweat will not corrode a mobile phone.

    You need to be less slo and more like mo then I think :

    If sweat rusts up stem bolts - why wouldnt it do damage to the delicate insides of a smart phone ?

    Sigh.

    I clicked the first of those links - it has nothing to do with corrosion, but sweat tripping a moisture sensor.
    I clicked on the second link - again, nothing to do with corrosion, but a discussion thread about iphones ceasing to operate in moist conditions.
    The third link is some irrelevant blog from a daft inconsequential bint, which also says nothing of corrosion (I think, but I would rather kill myself than read something like that).
    The fourth link seems to indicate that getting your phone wet might cause it to stop working, but it might work again after you dry it out. Number of times corrosion mentioned - zero.

    Well done. You have mastered idiocy.

    Cheers for that. You knacker your phone if you want to - but I'm happy with my long serving iphone that has survived 1000s of sweaty miles.

    Its no sweat off my nose... (well some of it is...)
