I use an iPhone 5 in a griffin case & an iPad 3 in an otterbox. iPad is always kept out the way until needed. iPhone is kept in my hanging pocket (front) of my Scruffs pro's, screen facing in. Touch wood, not had any damage to any of my phones. If it rings while I'm doing messy stuff like tiling, decorating, plumbing, plastering etc, I just let it go to answer machine & catch it later
