I searched for other threads but couldn't find any. If there are some feel free to link me to them. |

Hi Chris, |
|
You could go for a standard micro pelican 1010 or the 1020 without the headphone jack and put some foam inside your self. That is how I carry my phone. The 1020 case I have has an o-ring gasket, is basically 2 pieces of well molded plastic and the latch is bomber. I have never had any problem with things inside getting wet doing normal non-sumersion type activities like DWS, cliff jumping or canyonneering. |

After trashing many phones, I finally got an iPhone and have been extremely worried about it when guiding in the field. |

Really worth the investment! Video |

hmm,looks good. |

I have one of these: goballisticcase.com/product…. It is very protective, and the phone is fully usable without removing it from the case. The back has a rotating clip which is very strong but adds to the bulk. There is a removable rubber outer case (shown in the picture) that adds more protection and covers all the plugs and buttons to keep out dirt and dust. The rubber is sticky and makes it possible to put the phone down on slick surfaces like car hoods and, of course, rock features, and not have it slide off. There isn't any way to attach the phone to a harness (unless you wanted to trust the clip, which is very strong, but not, in my opinion, up to what happens in rock climbing), and in the case with clip the phone is too bulky for a pocket, at least for me, so you'd want to have a pack or, minimally, a small waist pack if you intended to carry the phone up climbs. |

I have exactly zero experience with it, but it looks pretty beefy: |

cool looking case, I wonder what the shock protection is like though. Taylor Ogden wrote:I have exactly zero experience with it, but it looks pretty beefy: ltdtools.com/ |

Best Buy sells a case similar to the Otterbox but better in my opinion. It is by Platinum, and is actually two cases so you can shed the outer layer for a slim case if you like. It is rated for 10 four foot falls onto hardwood..."military spec"...whatever that means. I chose it over the otter box mostly for the belt clip which has a better feel, also it has a rubber flap that you can close over the camera lens to protect it. While not in the same league as the cases you have posted about you can actually use the phone easily and you can lock the case into the belt clip. |

Its a phone not a museum piece. I have a delicate smart phone and use no protection. Its amazing how careful you are when you don't use pro. |
