Water proof case for cell phones when fishing?

[splashhopper]

This past Sunday i flipped the canoe and lost my Blackberry to the river mud.

 

I just got it replaced this afternoon and want to be prepared for next weekend.

 

What waterproof cases do u all use?

 

Thanks

I picked up a small dry bag from LeB's a few years back and it works well.

 

Maybe 6" X 15" or so.

I use a backpack, and I dont flip my canoe =D

 

haha, jokes aside Mountain Equip Co Op has some great waterproof cases, not sure about the price. Check BPS too

I use a Seahorse water proof case. Not sure the price of it, as I got it free through work.

 

It's big enough to hold a SLR, wallet, cell phone, and a few other small things.

 

If your looking for a small waterproof case, Pelican has a variety of sizes.

just get yourself a good quality ziplock bag and attach a piece of foam bouyant enough to support it. cost effective

I've had 2 of these for a couple years and they've never leaked.

LOL! U use my brand!

Funny enough, I’ve dropped my cell phone into the river a total of 6 times and the aquarium once. Dried it off each time and it’s still going. Not bad for a cheap LG phone I got for free. When in doubt, I use zip-lock

 

As for cameras, I’m averaging 1 per year.

Just get one of the available waterproof phones out there.

Motorola, Sanyo and Casio all make waterproof models.

 

Or do what I do and leave it on dry land.

I'm always dropping things in the river or tripping and going for a swim.

A Rubbermaid plastic sandwich container. Portable, cheap and takes alot more abuse then a ziplock bag. I don't have a cell phone but my I POD and earbuds have been safe and sound for years.

Ditto Ben's recommendation, have the same and have been happy with it.

Jeeeez is it that bad that you cant go fishing without having to have a phone with you?????

[Dave Bailey]

I'll speak up for those who wish the dang thing would go to the bottom and stay there. But then I rarely take mine out in the canoe.

it is when you are fishing solo and the kids are "home alone", other than that, hate when the thing rings even if I am not fishing.

I bring it to take pictures with. You won;t catch me taking a call unless it is one of my children or my wife.

They KNOW not to call unless it's some kind of emergency or sudden change of plans that I should be aware of.

my blackberry had a little bath from all the water we took in the boat yesterday on erie. it's been dried out 3 times so far, but i think its toast this time.

I got a replacement one for 149 bucks (BB-8530) by extending my contract.
