Bike-proof iphone: case recommendations
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
What kind of cases do you have for your iPhones to make them tough enough for training rides? Been thinking of using my old iP4 as a training phone, but I guess it will not live for a week in the wet jersey pocket without a good case.
I am not going to use the phone during my rides very much, perhaps just a photo every now and then. I will not run any training apps on the phone either during the ride.

Ziplock sandwich bag.
Then you might consider a $30 Nokia.

Whow! That's a pretty damn nice garage door!

Lifeproof for that occasional diversion into a river.
I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

I use mine a lot (until I switched to the iPhone 5) and will probably get one for the 5 soon. Maybe a bit of overkill, but better safe than sorry!

Simple Ziplock sandwich bag does the trick.
Been carrying my phone while riding for years without issue. iPhone 3g, Nexus One, iPhone 4s.

Griffin Survivor if you want to be really sure!

Seals it from moisture, still allows the phone to be used AND it is almost weightless!
