Ipod in back of jersey while riding - need protection?

[rinconryder]

Not looking to start a debate over riding with tunes or not....I ride with music.

I just switched from a shuffle to an Ipod and was wondering if I need to put it in a protective case. I have destroyed a couple of blackberries from the moisture in my jersey pocket and was wondering if anyone had the same type of issue with an ipod stuffed into the jersey pocket? Thanks.

Yes.

Its ghetto and cheap, but a ziploc closed about 98% works well....if your into that sort of thing.

I use a ZIP LOCK baggie to protect them and cell phone. I sweat like a pig and NC is humid - this solution has worked for me for a few years. I also keep my point and shoot canon in a bag like this.

I've been riding for years in Norcal summer heat with a Nano in my jersey pocket without incident. If you're a heavy sweater or worried then either slot it behind something else in your pocket or use a ziploc bag.

I started a thread on water proof cases for my iphone a few months ago. The Jersey Bin is good, Seal Line is the best.

i have used a plastic silicone type cover for my nano for years now--never had a problem. got it off ebay for like a couple of bucks shipped from asia somewhere.

For the point and shoot, I use a thin piece of flat plastic (think milk carton side) cut to fit in my jersey pocket and use it as a vapor barrier. That way I don't have to worry about dealing with a zip lock when I want to take a pic on the fly.

I use a zip-lock bag. Not very sexy, but it works.

now I thought the ziplock was good and upon which I thought a more conventional plastic sandwich bag minus the zip feature even better for add flexibility but your idea sir is pure genius!

Zip Loc. and yo dont need to close it up... It just becomes a sweat proof pocket liner.

That said, I use a sport sleeve and clip and clip mine to the the hem of my shorts...

It just sits on the top of my thigh. I run the cord up through my kersey so no fuss. When I want to make any sort of adjustment, it's right there and if I want to do a pick, it's right there too...
