Water Resistant Cell Phone

dag, wali, time for you to get a waterproof cell phone baggie and leash the puppie to ya! 

honestly, that has got to suck..tested it out at home in safe waters, only to lose it going out.. damn.

hey, do sturgeon speak russian or ukrainian?? 

i was thinking. stick the phone in a piece of Pool Noodle..
 

Yep, or a couple of key floats like my cameras. This guy's got plenty of leashes, but there is a limit to the number of leashes I want to use. I can imagine the boat sitting upside down looking like a Portuguese Man-o'-war thats caught a rod, a paddle, some tools, and a idjut.
Oh well, just one more thing you don't have to ask about.

Actually, now that I look at it, I think I should have opted for the Type-S model instead of the Boulder. It has a loop for a leash and the Boulder is slick (like a rock)

The replacement is coming today. Guess I'll keep this one in a pocket instead of outside on the vest.

How many phone calls do you take while on the water? 
So far, I am either in a "no cell service" area, or have my phone stuffed away in that dry box from Harbor Freight. 
I'm busy, everything else can wait till I am not busy.  The wife knows this, therefore no worries of missing a call from her.

Are you kidding? Nothing spurs a bite like you wife or mother calling.

How about the iPhone.. which now has Navionics!! Aquapac drybag for it so that you can still use it on the water. I need one NOW!!!

I've got a similar electronics-type dry bag for my VHF. Eventhough its waterproof, the audio is almost uninteligible when the speaker is wet. The bag has two clamps and a frame that are supposed to keep water out. After rinsing everything off at home at the end of the day, I've noticed a bit of water inside. Worse yet, after trips on the salt, I usually just fill a big bucket of water and dunk everything 2 or 3 times. The dry bag then has more than a small amount of water in it. This would easily equate to a huli through the surf zone.

Moral...test the waterproofness of your dry bags before trusting them to delicate electonics.

Oh I have a couple of "Don't Asks" for so called "Dry Bags" and I don't think I'd trust an iphone or a palm (or any phone for that matter) in that nicely clamped bag. An early expensive 2 mp () camera bit the dust in one of those that was very carefully sealed.

For my camera and cell phone, I keep a clear Pelican case clipped in close by.

Ram makes an Aquabox w/ mount for the iPhone and others complete with a flexible membrane that you can operate the hpone through.  I'd get one, but the Blackberry trackball doesn't work through it

FFTW there's a reason you moderate a forum called "Don't ask me how I know" Not sure if the same rules apply to us.. I kid I kid. I've had one of the Aquapac drybags for my cell which I've used for at least 3 years now with no trubs. Just one of those things though. No matter what you bring on board there's a chance you ace it in the process.
