Default any such thing as a water/weather proof cell phone?

I have a cell phone but don't use it much unless the wife needs to get
ahold of me etc. Last year she wanted me to take her new cell when I
went for a last hoorah on the boat. I wen't by myself. OK, so with
lack of better judgement I should have left it in the boat when i was
loading it at the doce, but no.... I had it in my front pocket. OK so
the loading ramp was slippery when I went to crak the boat ont he
trailer and sure enough, down on one knee I went. Wifes phone was
drenched. I pulled the battery out, and left it on the dash all the
way home to elt the sun and air conditioner attempt to dry it out.
when I got home Ip put the batter y back in and turned it on. it
worked for about 20 sec. and lights out. luckily it was insured.

OK daughter couldnt' find her cell phone sunday night and monday I
found it on the front steps and it had been rained on.
Lights out.

Is there such thing as a weather proof phone? I'm not planning on
soaking one fully again, but then.......

You never know especially when working outside in soaking clothing
damp weather.

thanks!
