Phones in the rain

Though I suppose this might be useful in many situations beyond what I use it for, I have for about 10 years now put my remote landline phone and now my cell phone in the same plastic bag when it's raining and I want to get into the hot tub(spa) outside in the rain. I suppose it would work for fishermen too or skiers or snowboarders as well. So by putting your phone or phones in a zip lock bag in the rain it keeps them dry. Not only that you can use most phones while they are in the bag as well as the sound travels through both ways as well, especially if it is on speaker phone mode. However, it works the regular way too. So, this is a useful adaptation if you are working or playing in the rain.
