Sorry if we offended you, but a good waterproof/shockproof case is still a good idea.
One bit of advice though, grab a bunch of lightning cables, and stick them everywhere !
In the car, with a charger, at home, the office, your edc bag etc.
Belkin used to do a little volume/start/stop/microphone adapter that converted anything with a 3.5mm plug to a headset, it works great as a remote in the car, as it can be used without looking, but mine is now attached to a set of electronic earmuffs for when I mow the lawn
