I use a ziplock bag both when fishing and out at drill when its raining works great because u can still use the phone without taking it out of the bag or a box

Walmart sells waterproof containers in the camping section that lock down air and watertight. Most of them are under $10 where I have seen almost exactly the same containers online for $15-$30.

I just googled "waterproof containers". You've got many options. All the options listed previously plus waterproof document cases, waterproof cigarette cases, nearly any size you can imagine. They weren't all that expensive, either.

I've got a smallish pelican case that holds my cell phone and truck keys. It will work for now. Should I decide to upgrade, I want one that floats.

Ziplock bag, and stays in my pocket. I don't put anything of value into my tackle bag when I'm going offshore. It only takes 1 stroke of bad luck to ruin your day, like maybe the bag bouncing overboard in 5' waves. Water, especially saltwater will wreck your key remote, I've done it a few times and they are expensive to replace.

There are plenty of Tupperware-type containers with latches that will work perfectly. They come in all shapes and sizes and will run about $4-7.

I use a Pelican 1060 in bright yellow so that its easy to find if it goes overboard. Its large enough to carry my wallet, 2 cellphones, IPOD, keys, etc but still tuck up in the under-seat compartment in the boat.

My wife gave me her Lock-N-Lock containers after they had become stained by red pasta sauce. They work great! I use them to hold my keys/wallet/cell phone when fishing. Completely waterproof and float if accidentally go overboard.

I have 4 pelican cases in different sizes. They are waterproof and provide some shock resistance but I never use them for anything but multiday canoe trips for camera gear.

I find them a nuisance for a day out fishing.

My wallet is always with me in my pocket in a zip-lock. If I become seperated from my boat for any reason and have to walk out I'd like my wallet with me. A little cash, debit card, Health card, if I'm hurt, can all help me get back to the car or treated in an emergency room.
