How is everyone carrying their smartphones?
I used to wear Patagonia Watermaster chest waders, they had an attached interior pouch that was a very heavy plastic with zip closure followed by a fold over with velcro. It was very secure and water tight. This same attached pouch is inside my Patagonia Sling Pack and again works perfectly. These days I either wade wet or wear waist high wading pants in cold weather, and I've gotten rather tired of the sling pack for short trips on my home water, which is most of my fishing these days. I've taken to wearing a small Fishpond chest pack on my belt as it fits my minimalist tendencies.
So, I've been hunting around for a similar-to 'the Patagonia attached protective pouch' for my phone (which will fit in the chest pack I use). Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to find this basic and simple yet perfect item. Simms makes a couple, but they are either too small or too large (and designed to attach to their waders). I broke down and bought one of those cheap waterproof cell phone pouches on Ebay, the ones that zip close and have the plastic clip that supposedly secures the zip closure. Cheap POS fell apart within the first week.
What is everyone using? I have a rather large smart phone, an LG Optimus G Pro, about the same size a s the new iPhone 6S plus or whatever it's called. It's pretty big.
