 | I was looking through my "industrial equipment news" mag and found this so I scanned it in. 
 I know I have trashed a few phones in my day via water.   Little pricy, but might be able to find it cheaper.   be nice to have at times though.
 
 Figured I would share

 | Really 200 bones for a waterproof case???  Tuffy, how much did you pay for your otter box?  I'm betting not 200. |

 | take a look at the Otter Box ones, sold at Walmart. Buy a new lure with the savings. |

 | How about puting the phone in a ziplock bag?  You can probably find a ziplock bag for cheaper.

 the otterbox is not waterproof!
 There's two different models last time I looked.  One is, one is not.  I have the one that is water "resistant."  It works well for light rain, water splashing the boat, but isn't water proof.  The other one I saw was an actual case with latches and all.
