A quick and dirty solution is to put the phone in a "hefty" type resealable bag. The touch screen on my phone (Samsung G-6) works through the bag, and the bag is waterproof.


Exactly. There are cheap bags exactly for that widely available, as well as waterproof cases, as well as warm gloves, to work with touch screens (in cold weather I'm wearing wool mittens converting to cut off fingers gloves, tested ideal down to 0F).
