Been using a zip lock bag for this, but it would be nice to have a better solution. Anyone have an alternative for storing the phone in a back jersey pocket?
Looked at the Crumpler Base Layers. £17.90 delivered smarts a little bit. Any alternatives I should check please?
Fits in my jersey pockets no problem wrapped in a spare buff .
No issues for over 18 months .
I'll probably take the buff out and cry as it falls out and onto the floor!
Real roadies have a lightweight phone for racing, an aero one for time trials, one with guards for winter and one of these for L'Eroica.

Embrace it, get more phones... N+1, innit.
I just put it in my jersey pocket in its case but a quick Google for "neoprene iPhone case" shows some cheaper alternatives
I got one of those neoprene ones for running but they're really awful. It starts bunching because it's so cheap and nasty in about 5 seconds and for some reason smells of kerosene oil to me!
Perhaps I should "invest" in the Crumpler.
After losing a phone a while back, I now only buy jerseys with a zip pocket so phone and keys go in there. If it is wet, in a ziplock bag.
Clear plastic pencil case for me. Phone fits perfectly, and has plenty of space to throw in a card, some cash and some ID too. Plus it's cheap, fits nicely in a jersey pocket and is waterproof enough that I don't worry about a bit of rain or puddles splashing up my back.
Castelli arm/leg warmers come in really handy ziplock bags that are probably big enough.
I have a standard 6S that fits in a Rapha Essentials case but it still gets a lot of condensation on it. I bought a pack of 5 sealable bags of ebay in just the right size - they cost pennies and work perfectly.
I've used one of these for the last 5-6 years [url= http://www.proporta.co.uk/the-beachbuoy-waterproof-case ]BeachBuoy[/url]
Mine is now getting quite old and the seals are giving up, so its probably time for a new one.

Totally waterproof and wraps around the phone providing adequate protection. Also handy to stick a £20 note.
Bit on the large side isn't it? Will it fit in a jersey pocket?
Nappy sack. Ultra light and deffo water proof as it keeps the Fukushima-like levels of toxicity of my 1 year old in check.
Otherwise Ikea ziplock bags are worth picking up (in all sizes) next time you're obliged to go shopping for an Ogboggy sofa.
Done.

After trying loads of cases and waterproof bags for the last year or so I have used ikea food bags. The larger green one is the perfect size for my 6s plus and they are cheap but last a few rides.

I just put the phone in the back pocket of what ever jersey I'm wearing. I still use the them on dry days and commuting because the phone gets almost as wet from sweat as it would from a bit of road spray.

Also shows handy fast access food carrier for gels etc.
I use the Exped bag linked above. It will allow you to activate apps through it as I discovered when running.
In a freezer bag.
If I was feeling flush and fancy I'd probably get [url= http://bellroy.com/wallets/elements-phone-pocket-plus?color=black ]one of these Bellroy cases[/url].
Are they any bigger than a Smasung Galaxy S6? If not then it will fit in a Lezyne Phone wallet just fine and dandy and they're pretty grippy on the outside and won't come out of a jersey pocket.
You can also get a few cards, cash and your house key in it.
Hard Drive case, £5 from Maplin.
I've got a Shock Sock. Neoprene case, less than a tenner iirc. Doesn't smell of kerosene 😕
"Bit on the large side isn't it? Will it fit in a jersey pocket? "
Yes it does on all my Assos jerseys and it has never fallen out on either a road or MTB ride .
Lezyne is too small.
Shock sock looks interesting, but how waterproof is it?
