NWMR: Protecting iPhone at the beach

Sorry for such a random question!  Just trying to figure out how to protect my iphone5 for my beach vacation in a few weeks.  Has anyone tried lifeproof or otterbox armour cases?  Are there any cheaper options that actually work?

My brother is in the military and swears by the Lifeproof case. Cheaper option = Ziploc baggie!

I have the Lifeproof case for my 5 and I love it. I have spilled things on it, droped it etc.. still works great

We use an aquapac case when we go kayaking or down to the beach.  protects the phone and you can use it through the case, so we put it in when we leave the beach house and don't have to worry about water, sand, sunscreen down at the beach.

Otterbox was great and protected my iPhone when I left it on the roof of my car and drove down the street at 40mph.

It's been...4 years?...since my last trip to the beach - and when I finally do make my way back to one, the phone will stay in the car - but anyway, I have an otterbox for my kindle and given my experience with that, I will get one for every mobile device

I have a Lifeproof and it has literally saved my phone (from my 2 yo).  It does make the slim iPhone 5 back into a bulky v4 style but again it's has been thrown, drinks and food spilled on it and the phone is alive!
