In reply to monkey man: The Aquapac one is brilliant ime. Phone is still pretty easy to use and the closure works really well -- no messing about wondering if it's actually engaged properly. Also is very durable.

I've got an aqua pack one and it's still waterproof after one of my dogs decided to steal it and left it covered in teeth imprints.
In reply to monkey man: Bit more expensive but you could look at the lifeproof cases. you can also get waterproof headphones and still listen to music in the water!

I've got an aquapac one. I've tested it down to about 5m in the med, I've kayaked with it and it has kept my phone dry. I've used it a couple of times for recording video underwater.
Go for the lifeproof case. I have one and it is awesome. Can stand up to total abuse. It evens makes the phone an underwater video camera if you are so inclined! Lifeproof has also just started to do free shipping to the UK. Their customer service is top notch too. Worth the extra cash I'd say (I don't work for them!)

In reply to monkey man: I use a beachbuoy I've swum carrying it in a pocket (by mistake!)no problems,I run with it in the pouring rain and it keeps the phone clean when it's in my chalk bag.
If you're close to Bristol monkey man you're welcome to have a look/try if you want.
I may be tempted to sell too as I'm thinking of upgrading my HTC Desire to a Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 and they don't fit the armband.

In reply to monkey man: Lifeproof are excellent. Shock proof from 2 m and waterproof. Plus whenever the phone gets messy you just run it under the tap to clean. I've taken phone calls whilst out kitesurfing.
