Ran across this little jem while at Bass Pro, have been leaving cell phone in the truck when water-hunting and it would have been nice to have been able to take pictures and have my phone with me. This was pretty cheap for $21. and for me a must have.
Did a little test with unit to make sure I didn't ruin a $600 cell phone. Hope this helps. Reid

I have used the same bag for hotel key, ID, and a few pieces of folding money while detecting on my trips.
Never had a bit of leakage...I wish my waders were as good and lasted as long.
I just bought a bigger one that will hold the phone.
Thanks for the video.
 

I use a Naztech case for my S4. It's good for 30 feet also and is small enough where I can still keep the phone in my pocket. Phone is still fully functional in this case, although, on speaker phone, there is a pretty good echo on the other end. The case came with a car and house charger too which was nice. I think it was about $45 or so. I've been using it a couple of years now without incident. Dropped the phone dozens of time and so far, (knock, knock) the phone and case have walked away with any damage. It has a tether eye in case you like to tie things to you.
 

Just be sure you check over that plastic case well before each future use, they cut very easily. I went to use mine the other day and found a small cut in the clear plastic.

I just enjoy the quiet...... guess im old and retired. I dont mind being UNREACHABLE for a good part of the day, missing a photo shot, or asking to barrow someones cell phone for a real emergency.....everyone on the beach has one. They need to come out with a plug-in rottery phone for the car i guess lol.

It looks pretty durable for plastic, I tried it in the water few days ago underwater for an hour or so no issues. But a check every couple uses would be a real good idea as the phone cost a pile. I was keeping it on a lanyard and tucked into
pouch but with all the sharp crab pot wire that might not be to good an idea. Might just click it to out side of pouch.
 

why don't they make one to enclose my whites mxt

I also enjoy the cell separation! I have asked people for the time (before my CTX-3030) and once asked a young lady to text my better half to say I was running late.
