I wanted to take my iPhone to the beach and listen to some tunes, but was worried about sand and water getting in all the cracks. So I put it in a ziplock sandwhich bag after putting the earplugs in, zipped it up and put a piece of tape around the wire. No problems at all. Could still type and use all controls. I would have hate to damage it, but would have hated to not use it too! Just a little FYI.
New protection for iPhone at the Beach!

I don't have a beach but one time I went to the pool. After playing with it for 20 minutes in the sun, the thing got so hot I thought it was gonna explode. I got way nervous and quickly ran inside to pamper and protect it. Aren't you guys worried about sun damage also?
I must confess that I sit under an umbrella and keep the iPhone out of the sun. At my age the sun will harm me more than the phone.
I have a similar thing I use when I take my iPod in the pool while I'm tanning. The headphone wire has to come through the opening, so it's not completely sealed (like the Nokia in the picture), but I figure it'll provide more protection than dropping it straight into the water would.
Just out of curiosity, what ever happened to just relaxing and not being accessible? Isn't that the point of a vacation to begin with? I'm heading to the beach this Thursday with my family and although I'm bringing the iPhone with me (of course), I'm certainly not planning on taking it down to the pool/beach with me...it will be up in the condo with the ringer turned off. I can live without my email/texts/web for a couple hours at a time. Am I the only one who looks forward to being out of touch every now and then?
