Most yakkers get tossed in 2' - 3' of water so I would say YES, it would survive.

The real question is if you would find it. I put my stuff in a ottebox waterproof case.

Looks like a solid case after watching the youtube videos but I would like some kind of tether slot so that I can attach a floatie on it in case I am in 20-100ft of water can't retrieve it from the yak. Once think I don't understand is how do you press the home button on the front of the iPhone?

Been using this one:

Have not had any problems with it and have been using it for a year now. For $20 I will get a new one soon. Nothing lasts for long on the yak....... Also came with a neck cord that is adjustable.

We have been selling the heck out of the DryCorp Dry Case. These ones have a vacuum deal on them so that you can pump the air out and use the touch screen with no bugs. Customers have been very happy with them, and they are only 40.00.

I have not been able to use the touch screen when all the air is sucked out. It acts as if I am touching the screen in places that I am not touching.

Been using the OverBoard for the phone for a while. The other day I decided to test it with paper inside and completely submerging it, the paper got wet. Not sure if I did something wrong sealing it shut.

For the digital camera I have used the Dicapac - zip closure and folds over with velcro. Seems the best so far.
