I didn’t know about the battery level either - I need tips from a 12-yr-old too!  
  
And thanks to the other list-member for the tip about double-bagging the phone!

Mine usually stays in the cabin, so the water resistance has never been tested.  The place you’ve got the velcro for yours is where my compass lives.  I do occasionally put it on the cabin roof in calm conditions.

Then one day I discovered by accident that if a bluetooth device is connected to my iPhone, the iPhone can tell you the battery level of the connected device.  If I knew a 12 year old, I could have probably just asked them.
