Slim waterproof cases for cellphones

[Andrew_Culture]

Like many other folk I take my mobile phone out with me when cycling, and to protect it from inclement weather I currently wrap it in a freezer bag. The proble with this is that if someone calls me it's a right old palaver getting the phone out to use it.

I've been on the lookout for a clippit type Tupperware type box just a little larger than my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) but have failed so far. So I looked on eBay for waterproof cases that would still realistically fit in the pockets on the back of my cycle jersey and found these cases - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321004949203

The price looks attractive but I'd be interested to know how other folk protect their phone, or indeed whether anyone has tried these slimline cases.

Ta!

Try decathlon..
Got a waterproof case/bag for about £7.
Fits in back pocket, see through and you can make/take calls without taking it out..

I use a waterproof case by Overboard. All of the features of the phone are accessible from within the case (except headphone/charger ports etc), it's completely waterproof, and fits well in jersey pockets.

I'm a tightwad. I am satisfied with freezer bags to keep my phone dry. I'm a Billy no-mates, no-one ever calls me, so having to answer it is a rare occurance.

Did you get the free Zipfit transparent phone bag with Cycling plus a couple of months ago? Don't know whether you'd find it useful but I'm not gonna use it (have a neoprene case that I got free from Wiggle) Will post it if you want it...let me know.

+ 1 for freezer bags, the ones with the plastic zip tie are perfect and only a couple of quid for a box of 25.

That sounds marvellous thanks! It's only really for when I'm on rides that I've organised that I need to be able to answer my phone.

I use the freebie from cycling plus for my Galaxy S3, the phone is easily useable without taking it out. Ideal in my eyes

Do you have the S3 mini? My S3 wouldn't fit in the freebie

No its the full size S3, its snug but goes in with delicate movements. Have to take the phone cover off as well

I use something like this (although wiggle branded, freebie ) its not let me down and I usually have an emergency £10 or £20 note inside, although on the wettest days its been in a rear jersey pocket covered by a gilet or jacket or a jacket waterproof pocket.

Been using mine recently, seems really good at keeping the phone dry. Also available from Zipvit for £2.99 or free when you spend £10.

Don't have to bother with stuff like that. Got a waterproof phone.

I use plastic bags I get from work very similar to freezer bags etc. All you need!
