lew Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I picked up a small dry bag from LeB's a few years back and it works well. Maybe 6" X 15" or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctranter Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) 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. http://www.pelicancases.ca/ To Bad about the crackberry. Hope you have a replacement plan of some sort!

Thanks just get yourself a good quality ziplock bag and attach a piece of foam bouyant enough to support it. cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 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.

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) 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.

crappieperchhunter Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited August 3, 2010 by crappieperchhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bly Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Jeeeez is it that bad that you cant go fishing without having to have a phone with you????? 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.

splashhopper Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Jeeeez is it that bad that you cant go fishing without having to have a phone with you????? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
