Where I live we get a lot of mist and fog. My case didn't include anything to cover the ear bud jack and I'm concerned the mist might activate the moisture indicator. What are you using (if anything) to plug the jack to keep light moisture out? Since it's in a case I'm thinking a low tech piece of tape...
 
switcheasy colors come with head phone jack plug. I don't use it since I'm always plugging in and out my headphone but i am quite scared of water getting down there.
 
Try the iZipLock bag, available at the Apple Store for $39.99. It works great and the package comes with three zip lock bags. The Apple employees at the Genius Bar will even help you install them. :)

The OP should just put his entire body in the bag. Don't bother with the air holes. It may let moisture in.

Oh my, that put you in the FAIL hall of fame! :eek:
 
Ok, I just read "bud plug" in the title and wasn't sure if I wanted to open this thread.
 
The Apple ones (ZipLock) are better then the one at the super market as those are specially designed for iPhones.
 
This thread is teh win!
I too almost had carbonated beverage spew forth from my nostrils and mouth.
+1 for making me laugh this early
+1 for noting that :apple: included 2 white :apple: logos w/iZiplockbag
