Most travel shops have waterproof bags for documents and electronic items. Though I just tend to use a ziploc bag which I then pit in the pocket of my stowaway jacket which then goes into my jersey pocket.

I've got one of these, it's not water proof but does have a sealed pouch for your phone;

I still use one. What's wrong with zip locks?

nothing really wrong freezer bags. I came off and smashed my phone this summer (keys and phone in same ziploc bag) and i just wanted something that offered a little protection and which could be carried off the bike without looking like one of those weirdos who carry their change in a plastic money bag*.

Haha.. fair enough. If I manage to stack in such a way as to land on my lower back.. the phone is gonna be fucked no matter what. I only put my phone in the bag and that's just to keep water and sweat off it.

ha. wait until you "stack in such a way as to land on your lower back" simultaneously smashing the back of a borrowed, brand new helmet into the floor then looking back along the road to see the guy you crashed into using his one unbroken arm to desperately rescue his uninsured iphone from the path of oncoming cars.

Jiffy bag, phone in width-ways, bag then folded round phone a couple of times. Waterproof and 'shockproof', and free with your next order of cycling tat from an online store.

Most mobiles will survive water penetration. Once you get it home, take it apart as much as you can, i.e. back cover off, battery out, then get it in a warm place (airing cupboard is ideal) and leave it to dry out for a few days. It should work fine after that.

I use a zipvit zipped split bag that I got some samples in - works a treat.

I prefer to just keep mine "non-penetrated".

this is the same guy that says wool is better than breathable water resistant fabrics, and that my being concerned about the waterproofness of gloves is overkill.
proceed with caution.
truth be told, i used to cook my nokia at 150 degrees F after dropping in water (thee times: urinal, ocean, cup of water)

It's also the same guy who has worked in the mobile phone industry for the past 15 years. ;-)

yea but did you work underwater? I don't think so.

Spent 6 months testing phones against 'everyday incidents'. That included a 5 second, 10 second, 30 second, 60 second and 2 min immersion test. I wasn't underwater but the phones were.

Anyone know where i could find a waterproof pouch that would fit my phone, keys etc. and sit snugly in a road jersey pocket?
something similar to this
http://www.jerseybin.com/
but perhaps lined with a soft material?
My usual technique of a sport sock in a freezer bag is fairly practical but not ideal.
edit http://www.cyclesurgery.com/1023770/Timbuk2-Pouch--padded--Black.html
is this waterproof?
