Protecting cell phone while hunting
« on: July 17, 2016, 01:01:22 PM »
I have an iPhone 6s that I use for maps/navigating. What do you guys use to keep it from getting wet while afield?

Another vote for otter box and I keep mine in a hip pocket of my back pack.

Otter box defender and a roll on screen protector. Pop the otter box screen protector out of the case and roll the roll on one on before putting it in the case. I didn't like how the otter box one was raised up a little off the screen.

Screen protector & speck cover.

For extra protection from water you can wrap your phone in saran or any plastic wrap tightly and still use it as if it wasn't there.  It also helps for dust!

Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

The otterbox is not as good as the lifeproof case. Not sure where the other one falls into the standings. Lifeproof is all around better if you ask me. Mines taken a dunk in the creek too. Still kicking without issue.
