My IKEA zip lock bag has died...boo
Ideally after something slim (not otter box etc) to keep phone dry in rear pocket.
There's loads on amazon, but i've had one before that simply popped, so after some real world suggestions of what you keep your bigger phone safe and dry in on rides!

the birzman ones are great. I had a couple, and just sold a new one the other day, as I have gone to an iphone 6, which is a bit of a tight fit. Iphone 5/Windows phone fitted a treat.

I bought a simple waterproof pouch from my local(ish) RNLI shop.

Used it a few times and hasn't leaked. Cost £3.50 IIRC.

I have a waterproof phone so it's more about keeping clag off that actual waterproofing for me but it hasn't leaked yet.

The Aquapac ones are spendy, but pretty good.

Alpkit Aqua Wallit is quite nice, £3. Might be a tight fit with bigger phones. https://www.alpkit.com/products/aqua-wallit

Try aLOKSAK hermetically sealed bags; I've been using them for years for carrying phone (and blood sugar level meter, insulin, etc.,) on rides and haven't torn one. Never had one let in water or even vapour.
