Default Water proof cell phone case that mounts to your vest

I was reading a magazine and seen a guy who had a little cell phone pouch that was attached to his hip pack strap or vest .Not sure if it was water proof or not.I was wondering if anybody nows were to find something like that.Or if anybody has any similar things they use.It would be awesome to have something like that if I remember right it looked clear as well so you could see who was calling.I have a young daughter and everytime the phone rings I need to look to make sure nothing happened and I hate fumbling around standing in the river trying to get my phone out and what if it falls in.i have been googling it but can't find to much and info would be greatly appreciated.Also it wasn't so much a case but more like a pouch.

here are a couple I found in MEC and they have more options on their website. I've also seen pouches and boxes at Campers Village.

This can have velcro straps added to hold to your vest or strap.

They make them in several sizes. I have one and it works grate. I can get my car key and my phone in the one I have.

Thanks so much fit your help I really like the pouch style.with the pelican cases do you guys hang them off yourself or just put in your pocket?I was thinking a pouch style would work good as it's not big and bulky and you could just look at it and see if you needed to answer or not.thanks for your help again

I've seen Otter Cases.
Apparently waterproof
See their story here:

I use the " E Case" from Campers village for my I phone. Its clear both sides with a blue casing around and has a thick zip lock to open and close it. It also has a hole in the corner to attach a Lanyard. I wear around my neck and tuck it in my front inside of my waders (sits on top of my wader belt) so the waders carries the weight of the phone. like a big open pocket. Nothing scared me more trying to take a picture when you are trying to safely handle a fish and the fear of dropping your exposed phone. this way you are more hands free and can drop the phone anytime.

Lifeproof case will work and will allow you to use your phone without taking out of a case. I've dropped mine a few times in the river no issues and use it in the shower to listen to music. Phone is 3 years old
