Keeping Cell Phones Cool In The Sun

My family went to a water amusement park where they offer locker rentals. Considering that the lockers are located in the full and blazing sun, cell phones were left at home. Because thefts do happen to unattended beach bags, they could not leave the cell phones there, either. Suggestions for keeping a cell phone cool (but not too cool) in a locker?

Use a small cooler bag with a small bag of ice or a small cold pak. Put it in the bottom then a layer of paper, then your cell phone.

I was going to suggest something similar, but I would be afraid of just putting it in an insulated lunch bag, as insulation works both ways -- it can keep things warm instead of cool. You might want to put one of the flexible blue ice packs in with it. If you're worried about the moisture, put the ice pack in a baggie, and then wrap a washcloth or towel around it, then the moisture wouldn't transfer to the phone(s). Both problems -- heat and moisture -- solved. Good luck!

You could wrap them up in newspaper & put them into one of those insulated lunch bags...Then they would also be disguised!
