To answer your question:

your cell phone while you are swimming or in unbelievable nasty conditions 'cause your VHF is dead and it's your last hope, a cell phone specific bag will keep it dry while you save your life.
If I am with another paddler, even in the city, I have mine with me. If they have a medical problem, I want every edge I can get, and especially in a city, that means a cell phone.
My dry bags only work when they are filled to the right amount. My cell phone bag always works.I just press the clear part tightly to the black part, roll it up, and go.

You get them at Boaters World.
I keep my GPS in one as well.
You can operate your cell phone right through the pliable plastic, but yet they are completely waterproof.
Cheers, and have a great day.
