I'll be keeping my iphone 5 in my stomach area pocket while snowboarding. I want something to protect it incase I fall on it, but I can't have anything too heavy. So I need good protection with no added weight. Suggestions?

I use this case with my iPhone 4S, it does not add so much weight, but of course it adds something.

But it is snow & waterproof lol

maybe not quite what you're looking for.. but when i snowboard i just put my phone inside a plastic sandwich bag. it keeps the water out and the phone dry and you can also use the phone through the plastic bag (i do this when i go to the beach too). i've never had any terrible falls snowboarding but unless you are boarding on ice you shouldnt have any problems with it breaking in the case of a fall...

What you are asking for is a contradiction. You can't have the best of both worlds.
