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.
There is a samsung s7 active in a lifeproof case. 7 feet of water at Park Pond. Was in lap, went down the ice hole.
Oh man that sucks! I bet there are a lot of cell phones at the bottom of lakes and ponds out there!
Yup, I kept fishing and saw its dim glow, just out of reach as texts came in. If someone finds it, it will likely work because of the case. I hate that I put a lithium battery on the bottom of a lake.
When I retired 23 years ago I handed in my cell phone and have not missed it one bit!
Can confirm, smart to make sure an option floats...my first attempt for tuna last season....I learned the float for my boat keys wasnt enough and they slowly sank at the side of the gas dock....what a crappy night that was.
I have a float for my boat keys- never tried it though! Need to check that!
Do you keep a magnet
