I can only give you my experiences. I purchase a 2 pack from West Marine, gave one to my brother and kept one for me. It comes with a "waterproof" bag and it is supposedly submersible.
Mine ended up in my cupholder most of the time sitting in 3-4 inches of water/blood/beer. It worked great for about 3-4 months, then DIED.
I'm not using the model that Chris provided a link for. I think the West Marine ones should only be used as back up.
