Can anyone suggest a decent Iphone case that will allow use of the camera, gps. I turned one iphone into an ipod by getting just the smallest amount of sea water on it. Need a better case.

I found a ziptop/ fold over the top type dry bag at Clavey's, made for Smartphones with a clear panel and padding on the back. It's down in the garage and I cant remember the brand.
 Havent tried it yet... hope it works.

Ditto on lifeproof! It's pricey (around $70) but worth every penny!

I've got a CoolCoverCase, it cost me $25 and I can use all the iPhones functions. It's the size of a regular case too.

I'd ONLY buy the Lifeproof case.  Had it for the last year.  My phone has been dropped, soaked and even hurled across a room against a rock wall.  No damage thus far!  Worth the $80.

Go with life proof..They are pricey but worth it they also make a ring that pops on the case to make it float but that is pricey as well.

I have the LifeProof and took it to Raging Waters last week and got some cool underwater pics of my daughter playing around.

Course...now the wife expects me to bring it out on the yak with me so she can call and tell me when I need to come home.

You have to tell her freshwater safe, salt water not so safe.  Something about corrosion of electrodes or something.

One more for LiefProof. Had it four months now. It's been OTW (and a few times ITW) maybe 12 or 15 times. Tuesday I actually left in my PDF during wash down with power washer. Works perfectly. It's kinda bulky and the sound isn't great but it's plenty good enough. I bought the belt clip too since it's kinda big for puttin' in your pocket. It also works great!

I just tell my wife I didn't hear the phone ring because my reel clicker was too loud ... but that excuse only works when I bring fish home.  She stopped believing the "one that got away" story.

Jim wasn't that your phone that made it's way into my center hatch and sat in water all day when I forgot to secure the hatch and took on a ton of water?

Same phone? If I remember correctly you had no case at all and the phone still worked great.
