Mine stays in the car. Don’t feel the need to live with it 24/7.
I'll be in a kayak btw. Another thing I found essential while on the water in an upright seat kayak: something to take a leak in. A lot easier than getting out of the kayak etc. And this kayak I have is not one you want to stand up in even with the stabilizers I built for it.
Wear a bathing suit and just go.
I just try not to drop it in the water, so it usually goes in the boat glove compartment as soon as I get on the boat. My phone is waterproof, but that doesn't prevent me from dropping it overboard. If I were a kayaker I would probably get a case that incorporated a lanyard of some sort. Lash it to the boat or your tackle bag or wear around your neck.
Hey Mr. PopularProbably because you never get any texts or phone calls. Thank heavens. It’s a crutch.
After 2 years in a row dropping my phone down an ice hole I attach a caribeener to my phone case that is clipped on my belt. Still dropped it many times but now stays attached.
