Mainly for back pocket duties on the road bike but also to protect my antique Sony MP3 player when I'm on my turbo. Want something properly sealed to protect from humidity and sweat rather than just a splashproof raincase like most seem to be.
Or do I just buy another 30 ziploks from Tesco? 😁
Proper branded Ziploc for the win.
The heavier duty Exped XXS dry-bag does for me. Spendy compared to a box of Ziplocs though.
I use Ziploc and fold the ends over a few times (dry bag style) for extra security.
I use a dry bag if I'm out with a rucksack but it's too big to go in a pocket
Ziplocks for Road jersey pockets.Use a Trekmatesout of Tiso for my i-Pod,the lanyard's handy.

Where?? Ideally a heavier duty ziplok with a big garish logo 😎
Sunblest bag?
Tiny drybag.
Clear plastic pencil case has been my go to for the last 15 years, always worked well for me.
I've got the Lezyne Caddy Sack M.
If you have a particularly large phone it might be a struggle - my Pixel 4a with rubber cover just about goes in.
It's gonna be pretty waterproof unless you drop it in a pond.
Only downside of it for me is the folded over section with velcro obviously adds a bit of bulk. But - good for the reassurance that my phone isn't gonna get trashed.
A shame the Pixel4A wasn't rated as waterproof really, but I suppose you can't have everything for £350.
Lomo do a little pouch which is a roll top drybag with a transparent pvc front. Works a treat

I always just used to use a thin sandwich bag when I was commuting and wrapped it round my phone. I’d change it when the bag got damaged.
Worked fine for 3 years or so, never got wet at all.
Then I started putting my phone on my stem and got a Topeak dry bag.
Do you have Bluetooth headphones for listening to the MP3 player? Otherwise you’re always going to have a way in for moisture. If you do, why have it in your pocket at all?
just wrap in in cling film. can be used just fine, even the camera if you don't bunch it over the lens
Sunblest bag?
Bogey.
YOSH IPX8 Waterproof Phone Case on Amazon
Rapha essentials case seems to work for me, dry phone and working car keys even after 4 hours in the rain and a puddle in the Gabba pocket, keeps the phone dry from a sweaty back too.

Use it every ride, it keeps my mask, petty cash etc all in one place for any cafe stops etc.

I've got an overboard one I use for sailing, there's a 3.5mm jack lead built into it with a socket on the outside.
Where??
Iirc the ones I've got were from Amazon.
Thanks folks, I remembered where I had got my knackered 'Col Collective' sleeve (knackered because I was stuffing too big a phone in).
so picked up a couple more, relatively cheap but brightly coloured (sooooo important for something I'm going to stick in my back pocket most of the time! 🙄)
Still slightly sleeker than something rolltop, slightly more robust than a sandwhich bag.
The MP3 player will just need to take it's chances until I'm prepared to spring for bluetooth headphones, in fairness it's lasted over 12 years of back pocket duties so far so seems fairly robust...

Something like this if you want properly waterproof.
My several year old one of these types of case has kept phones dry even after a serious dunking in the local harbour, and by that I mean in the water for 10minutes kind of dunking, not spilling your tea on it or being a bit sweaty.
IKEA sandwich bags. Thick and double sealed. The red box with two small sizes in it. The turquoise green ones are also great for OS maps.
