2 condoms - put phone in one let it hang and tie a knot add a second and another knot and put up wetsuit arm. I have done this many times 20+ for both phone and GPS and never ever had a problem iPhone buttons work through dinger as well.

It's simple and works incredibly well

H2O audio make one with waterproof headphones so if its something like an iPhone, you can use it to listen to music as well.

i actually used 3-4 layers of glad wrap over my phone on the weekend, the moisture got through two of them, but the phone was still still dry. I just threw it down the front of my wettie and it stayed there and i forgot about it.
I was planing on using a condom next time................... We're still talking about phones right?
