Floatable Waterproof iPhone Case?

[sam7684]

Does anyone know of one? I want one that will actually FLOATS. I just got an iPhone and would really hate to have it end up in the bottom of the ocean.

This one is waterproof, but doesn't float.

you are suppose to leave the phone at home, and use the vhf.

Tupperware makes a bunch of various sizes and shapes. I use them for carrying all kind of stuff on the boat.

Hmmm, the only thing I could say is try to find a float big enough to float it and attach it to the waterproof case. Im sure that case will have something you can tie to or clip to. My phones goes in a waterproof bag with enough volume on it that I can fill it with air, it will float and I can still press the buttons. A cheap bluetooth earpiece is good. I worked a trouble one time at the lake, in the water with the bluetooth in my ear and the phone stowed away in its waterproof bag.

I've lost/damaged so many cell phones on my outings...I've learned to take out insurance and now, I just carry an "El Cheapo" whenever I go out. Don't matter if I lose or break them...Insurance covers the replacement phone. Of course, you'll lose all the stored data unless you have one of those multimedia phones which you can download info onto your computer and upload into the new phone.

Never take the phone on the boat, It does not work offshore anyways. If you really need to call some1 it can be done over the VHF for a fee.

Is he really going off shore? I miss that part. If so, forget the cell...

Maybe I'm showing off my newbie colors on this one, but I got the iphone because I boat in the San Francisco bay and the google maps satellite imagery is so clear in that area, I can easily see every tributary, waterway, boat launch ramp, etc.

This bag is simmilar to the one I have:

I would tie a foam ball or a some type of bobber in the neck lace to help it float.
