Ziploc bag attached to a piece of foam, either attached with a string to the non-sealable end or glued to the bag itself.
Test it out in water to see how well it floats.
Done deal.

however you waterproof it, think like an astronaut and tether it to yourself.
give a long enough leash and a quick release mechanism
something like this:

speaking of such things, it would make life simpler if we had a proper lanyard mounting point.
ive considered drilling through the top of the stylus slot in the past.

I go boating all the time.
I keep it in my 810 in my wife's purse, next to her 810. She ain't letting that purse get wet. I also only use on on the boat, not while tubing

nooooooooo penguinbait,
I hope you keep your n810's in their cases.
we all know what happens when 2 naked nokias get together on a romantic cruise.

Try this, it works http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article711.html - dont bother buying them, pick up a few for free at planned parenthood
So here's my dilemma. 1. I need something waterproof that will still allow me to use my NIT while on the boat, and 2. It needs to float. I expect it to be either in my hands or in my pouch most of the time, but should it go over the side through my general effort at epic klutziness, I want it to stay near the top so I don't have to go scuba diving to get the darned thing.
Any ideas? I've considered using a heavy duty glad quart freezer bag for this, but I'm not sure how well that'll work.
