another vote for Ziploc. I have never had a problem using my phone through a Ziploc bag and it stays perfectly dry. Can even talk through it.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

The glovebox in the truck :tup:
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

Otterbox. Amazon usually has a deal on them.

I also use a ziplock, but I put some toilet paper in it just to help with any moisture.

Alocksak is your solution. I've been using these for years to store all kinds of gear in my pack and ensure waterproof protection in the field.

Otter Box.  I have dropped mine twice in the water at the boat launch this year and when I opened it up, all was good!

I roll my phone in a small washcloth and put it in a Ziploc.  I like the heavier duty bags, not the flimsy sandwich baggies.

I bought a case similar to this while in Hawaii earlier this year for taking pics at the resort we were at and swimming. I spent a little more since i bought it from a shop there but it worked. I was able to get mine in snugly with my slim case on but removed my screen protector because it seemed to be too much of a barrier. Did fine and no water. Might use it for hunting if i need it.

http://www.rectatech.com/iphone-5s-waterproof-shockproof-case-with-stand

I've been using this case for a week now. It cost $29 with shipping. Waterproof, fairly shockproof, although the glass protection is only a thin sheet of plastic. The downside is that it needs the original IPhone charging cord. Aftermarket charging cords are too big to fit in the hole with the case on.

I'm a ziplock guy here as well. I usually have it buried deep in my pack as well.. I use it often for pictures and I like to listen to podcasts at night while I'm on solo hunts. Haven't had any problems as of yet.. I do this when I go snowboarding as well..
