Thought i would send a quick note to any fellow iphone 4s users.  i came across a new case for the phone called Lifeproof.  it makes your phone water proof, dust proof and shock proof.  its a little on the pricey side at 79.99, but man is it sweet.  you can actually use it underwater!  i work as a carpenter and am always working outside in the elements and now i have no worries about taking my phone out in the rain and mud.  and it will be nice to use on the river without the worry of dropping it in the water.  i totally recommend this case for the ultimate iphone protection.

Don't you just hate it when people call you while you are scuba-diving?

I told a carpenter friend of mine about this case. He has the Otter case that protects his phone well but is not water proof and allows sawdust to get into the phone.

I got it at best buy. I haven't used it at the river yet. They ask you to water test it in the directions and leave the case without the phone in it underwater for an hour to check the seals and not even the smallest drop made it in. So it will make for some great water shots. I had the otterbox for my phone but I had to open it up everyday after work to empty sawdust as well.

except for that fact it might just float away. My buddies all laugh at me when I put my iPhone in a ziploc. "What's that for? So you can call your phone at the bottom of the lake/river"  :D

Funny how things have changed so much, 20/25 years ago, no one was sporting a phone while fishing, and never knew that while fishing, you had to be able to be in touch with anyone at a moments notice, and viseversa, now every one is convinced you can't ever be out of touch.

I have been using the same water proof case for about 20 years. It kind of looks like a glove box in a vehicle. After all I am fishing and enjoying the scenery! Just my 2 cents! Enjoy your new case, sounds cool.

This looks like a more durable case. I have checked out the Life Pro cases and they come in a few colors. The only downfall is that the belt clip/mount is an additional $29.99. The optrix is priced at $89.99.

I always have my iPhone with me when fishing. In a ziploc bag because I am too cheap to buy a waterproof case lol.

Just because I have it with me does not mean I use it. I enjoy the piece and quite while fishing, but if there was an emergency at home with my wife/kids, get called to work or fall and break my leg as I often fish alone, it is an important thing to have with me.

So will be your face after a day out fishing "out of touch" when something tragic happens and you were unconnected  ::)
