Looking for a small drybag to keep phone, ID and cash in when I go riding.

I'm sure Alpkit did one with a soft lining inside, but I can't see it on their website, any alternatives?

Heard of a zip lock bag? You can get loads of them from the supermarket for about a quid.

Or, grab a handful at the airport! 🙂

much better than Ziploc bags ime, having trashed a phone when one leaked.

I've got an aquapac http://store.aquapac.net/. Its designed for a walkie talkie but takes a phone, car key and cash. I only use it for canoeing, sailing, etc where a proper dunking is possible/likely. As above I just use a ziploc bag for cycling

Two ziplocks, one inside the other and a bag of that silica gel inside just in case.
Job done.

I got one free with a mag recently. If I can find it you can have it for free.

Aquapac. Probably overkill but [b]totally[/b] waterproof

+1 for ziplock/sandwich bags. I have a few aquapacks for sailing, they are useful as they are sturdy and the handles mean they are easy to grab from inside a bag. They are a good product but for what you want they are overkill.

If you want protection for the phone put it in a sock, if your household is like mine you'll have plenty of odd socks you can use

I find an [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ortlieb-a6-document-bag/ ]Ortlieb A6 Document Bag[/url] works well, plus you can use a touchscreen through it.

I often keep my HTC in a ziplock bag at work, the touch screen works fine.

Breast milk bag FTW. Double zip locks, just the right size for a smartphone and you can still use the touchscreen through the bag. Sorted. 8)

My HTC lives in a ziplock for riding.
Touchscreen works fine through the bag so long as I take my glove off (alternatively, works fine with gloves on but needs to come out of the bag)
