Dry bag for iPhone

Dry bag for iPhone - 04/22/12 04:49 PM

I'm tired of using a box for my phone so i want to get one of the dry bags.

At the GTG, I saw a lot of folks using the Aquapac 108
Mfg Page

Academy has the Dry Pac version for only $10...
Mfg Page

Anyone used both? is the Aquapac worth 3x the cost?

This is what I've been using for a couple years now and love it. It not only allows you to use the phone while inside the bag, it also floats.
Only thing is you cant take pictures because of the blue back.

I have the Dry Pac and have never had a problem with it. Mine is a bag type and you can take pics through it. It's clear and has a strap you can hang around your neck if you like.

Didn't I read somewhere they have just came out with one that you can also take picture out of?

The aquapac that is listed in the first post can.

This is the one I use but my iPhone 4 is always inside a LifeProof case which is waterproof to begin with. grin

LifeProof

I just use the Dry Pak as a tether for it. wink

Ziploc makes a few great ones for the lower priced angler, I think glad does too.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to pick one of those up at Academy.

I used the dry pac last year and I got a pin sized hole in it while wade-fishing. It only let in a small amount of water but it was enough to ruin my phone. I now keep my phone in a regular zip-lock bag inside of a small plano case. The case keeps it protected and I can pull it out and use it through the zip-lock bag when I need it.

I've been using one of these for 4 years through a lot of rain storms and wave spray with no problems.

I've been seriously thinking about going to this case.

Its currently in a OtterBox but its a bit bulky when I put it in my small drybag. The Lifeproof case seems pretty legit. There is quite a few youtube videos on it as well.

I got this one. I can take picks, and use the touchscreen, but I think I would like the bag style better.

I looked at the Lifeproof case, but I want something that floats. If I got the Lifeproof, I'd still want a bag or something to put it in.

The Aquabox is interesting, but I like the idea of hanging it around my neck too.

Good input so far... keep it coming!

I bought the similar bag at Academy that is slightly larger (and $1 cheaper). Due to the larger size, I don't keep it around my neck, but it is clear on both sides so I can use the iPhone camera if I want as well as use the phone features without removing it from the bag. Size wise, it will hold my phone, wallet, and keys if needed.

I put my iphone in a ziplock bag and then place it in my otter box case that is water proof up to 100ft. I use my water proof camera for pictures.

I will vouch for the LifeProof case as I mentioned in my post up the page. wink

I also use it in something that is tethered to me or will flost as it will sink if dropped. cry
