features required

*cheap
* GPS to mark secret fishing spot will be a bonus
*long battery life
*can take a beating

Do not need:

I have been kayak fishing for nearly 4 years now and just use a "dry bag" to store my phone, keys, camera, wallet etc in whilst on the water/fishing and never had an issue.

I have thought about a clear pouch as a "just in case" thing, but haven't had any issues yet **Touch wood**
Otherwise i might just vacuum seal my iPhone each time before i go, (tried it and it worked a treat!)

ps: Waterproof marine GPS/depth sounder FTW!!

Guy at work has the life proof case for his iPhone and uses that in the Avon Decent and has taken pics underwater with it

Motorolla Defy+?

Not cheap (yet) but the Sony Xperia Z is waterproof. My wife uses it as her rowing meter when she is out on the water and it gets wet all the time, has also fallen into the water on the shore.

I had the Motorola defy, went to demonstrate to a mate its ability to withstand water by placing it in a pint of super dry.

It never turned on again

^^^ Super Dry, there's the problem

Do you own an iPhone?
I have just purchased and received one of these:
iPhone Cases and iPad Cases | LifeProof

Have also purchased this for when I go kayaking as extra insurance to not ruining my phone

Take your LifeProof iphone case to the next level of performance with the LifeProof LifeJacket. | LifeProof
