I think I've asked before, but does anyone know if there is an iPhone case that you can swim laps with? Or an iPod case? Or some MP3 player that is cheap that can go in water? I have been swimming, and I'm making major strides, but I think if I could listen to something while I swim, it would be my new favourite thing to do!

    Well due to the fact that the mini jack where you would plug in the headphones would have to be exposed in order to plug them in which would allow water to enter the device, I am taking a flying wild guess at no. Also there would be the fact that it is probably unlikely that there are water proof headphones either due to the way they usually work. Haven't actually looked though...

    I once saw a pair of waterproof headphones with built in MP3 player, designed for swimming.
    They weren't cheap :-/

    Ask your pool to put on the radio!

    Otter Cases. I have one for my droid. They are pretty much indestructible. My baby cousin threw my phone out of the first floor balcony and it didn't break. They are water proof too. Like someone said though the pool might be able to turn on the radio :D

    I believe Life Proof cases are waterproof.

    Absolutely no such thing! Otterbox is the best you can get but by no means is it waterproof to that degree. Go buy a Casio Rock or something like that if you really need to swim with something. I m in the industry.....trust me! Do not swim with your iPhone unless you are eligible for upgrade!

    I have the LifeProof case for my iphone. It cost me $80 at AT&T when I purchased my phone. The phone was actually submerged in water for display. I believe its waterproof up to 6 feet. They only had black and white, but if you go to the website you can get other colors.

    You have to make sure and close the cover over the charging port after you charge and if you use the headphones, the little screw could get lost, but they sell replacements.

    One of my co-workers has it and took his phone with him to the lake and made a call underwater to test it out. I read on my Kindle app in the water and have never had a problem.

    Absolutely YES! to ipod... I got my waterprood ipod shuffle from Amazon. Just put that info in on the search line in Amazon. Or try this:
