Sadly the Otterbox isn't waterproof, but the NepTunes one looks promising.
Currently I use an Aquapac phone case, which is waterproof, but only just useable.
It can be tricky answering calls, especially if it's one of your crew who's not used to an iPhone (you have to swipe it a few times to answer, and if you're not fast enough it goes to voicemail), and the proximity detector has the habit of turning off the phone so you can't hang up calls. Sometimes I have to open the damn thing to hang it up.
But everything else (except the ability to use headphones) is pretty functional. You can text, check websites, etc etc.
Until something purpose-built comes along, it's a pretty good solution.
