Do you bring your phone to pool parties?

[vegaz]

I'm heading to EBC and Wet Republic, and wanted to know if I should bring my iPhone to the pool? I was planning on my ID, cash, and my phone. Where do you keep this stuff if you don't have a table?

One part of me thinks I should take my phone for crazy pics/videos of my friends/myself, another part of me thinks I should just leave it in my room, so it doesn't get messed up.

What is your experience with phone at pool? Is it too annoying to keep track of? I don't want to keep worrying about it getting damaged/stolen?

Is there a SAFE place to put ID/Cash/Phones?

Thanks!

If you're prone to losing these types of things anyways then just leave it in the hotel. You can find a decent water resistant / proof phone case depending on what type of phone you have. I have an Iphone with the Lifeproof case and it holds very well in pools granted you're not chucking it in water. What also works good for pool parties is just putting my cash, CC and ID in a little ziplock bag and then in my board shorts pocket. More convenient than back and forth from the locker IMO but a locker is usually the most secure. have fun.

The lockers at Wet are $40 bucks. At EBC you can check in your stuff, like coat check for $10.

This is a decision I struggle with myself. I usually put my phone in a girl's bag near the edge of the pool and keep an eye on it. It's always nice to have your camera handy and be able to check your phone, but can be a problem. $40 for a WR locker seems a bit much, $10 item check at EBC is slightly more reasonable but with those options you may as well just not bring it imo. Lose-lose situation really, but for me, I say bring it and try to be careful.

I take a bag with stuff in it, sunscreen.. wallet.. snapback.. cash.. phone.

Wet its a bit tougher cos theres not many places. EBC is easy cos theres trees and plants everywhere, just put your bag down. It wont get stolen, people are there to have a laugh! If youre worried, locker it or leave it

My friend had her bag taken at EBC. She found it on the other side of the pool, empty. Another guy had his wallet taken the same day. So be careful or don't bring it
