    Anything that allows a cable out will allow water in. Get a sealed one that your can put on your arm or BA and use the speaker on the phone.

    ok i understand your point but that wouldn't work for me as you wouldn't hear it from the noise of the water, and its not music I'm listening to, its timing checkpoint markers

    Just get one with an earphone pough and then put it into a ziplock sammich bag. The ziplock bag will keep out the vast majority of what gets in and the real one will keep out the rest. Same Idea of having a big dry bag and putting everything to be kept dry into smaller dry bags

    There are literally hundreds of waterproof cases with headphone jack passthroughs like the Ecopod.

    can you use the phone when its in the case or do you need to set it up before you put it in?

    Not with the ecopod. One of the guys I kayak with uses a soft Overboard case that has a headphone passthrough and he can use the touchscreen with that. It doesn't protect against impacts, though.
