In Response To: Other: Kayak-proof Cellphone Cases (Noel Bennett)

Noel,
My daughter picked up a VestPac http://www.vestpac.com/node/13 It has a double zip lock and roll top and an earphone jack (yes she is a teenager). They make a few models. You can still use your touchscreen but it does not float unless you leave enough air in to make it so you can not use your touchscreen.

: Bill's post regarding cellphones got me thinking: For those of us
: who paddle with their smartphones, what are we doing to protect
: them from the elements?

: I've got a small dry bag that fits my Droid Incredible pretty well,
: but the rear of the case is translucent, preventing use of the
: camera. I haven't tested it yet, but I bet it floats as well as
: a brick. It's only waterproof for a few feet deep, too. It does
: have a lanyard which tucks under my pfd pretty well, securing it
: should I capsize.

: I'd love to replace it with a different case. Ideally, it would
: have a hard exterior, a soft protective layer that allows use of
: the touch screen, clear area allowing use of the camera,
: waterproof to several feet of depth, and floats when it's
: containing the phone.

: I doubt I'll find all that in one case, but one can hope, right?
: *grin*
