| For a number of years, I've been a major fan of my Lifeproof cellphone case and the Lifeproof 'life jacket' that makes it float. I've tried it in rough water with success. BUT on Saturday I took a swim and much to my dismay the case leaked. I currently do not own a working phone. Not sure what my new plan will be. Dang!\\ | For a number of years, I've been a major fan of my Lifeproof cellphone case and the Lifeproof 'life jacket' that makes it float. I've tried it in rough water with success.

| Life proof are water proof but u need to test them without the phone occasionally and clean and lube the gasket. They work best if you leave the phone in there always. The Epic bag works well if u want a soft case works better if u want to take it in and out every paddle. (//Editor's comment - Epic no longer sells soft phone case, but the same or similar is now sold as Gooper or GoBags - 6/2020//) | Life proof are water proof but u need to test them without the phone occasionally and clean and lube the gasket.

| + | I always bring a VHF on bigger days, but often just bring my phone on smaller or flat days. //I discovered the other day that **my phone in its Lifeproof case was 100% useless after I had spent 30 minutes in the water**.// Not sure why. My old waterproof case worked fine. Maybe my fingers were cold? Maybe its just me? Either way, a heads up for anyone who is relying on a phone as a primary means of communication. | ||
