May I add a twist to this conversation?
On the boat, using the iPhone as a phone is secondary; calls can wait ( unless I need to make an outgoing one <g>).
So far, I like the iPhone for referring to tides (AyeTides - thank you August)) and AIS (< http://aisserver.yachtmarine.com/US-OREGON.html> in my case).
I mostly daysail - but I have ambitions, so my current criteria are probably different than most: Intermittent reference, as opposed to ongoing navigation.
But I would like to protect the iPhone from 1st dropping it, and 2nd from water/spray. One thought I had was something like a binocular harness, but that seems to bulky & overkill.)
Perhaps a lanyard would address the issue, but is there a case that attaches to lanyard that can also fit in a pocket?
In the meantime, I continue to try to be careful. More suggestions are welcome.
