We're heading to Sicily in May and we'll probably be doing some swimming while there. Does anyone have a recommendation for a smallish waterproof case that will keep our rental car keys dry and safe while we're in the water? When I used to dive I used a small plastic case, but rental car keychains now seem to have the electronic key, a dumb key and a massive plastic plastic fob on them along with an inflexible steel ring that would render my old method useless. Can anyone recommend something that will work? Or is there something specific that's sold for that purpose?

I've seen them at TJMaxx. Of course, it's a hit or miss going into the stores. Or check out their website. You can't put in a designer name in the search box, you have to go through all the "travel items" to see if they have any online.
Those accessories can be found in the stores in their travel aisles or at some checkout aisles too. Check Marshall's, although I never really like their selections. TJM sort of rules in that category.
Check out Bed, Bath & Beyond -- in stores and on line.
Check out walmart.com or Amazon.com
How about "sporting goods stores?" Dick's Sporting Goods? REI?

A waterproof camera pouch? Given that it is a plastic bag, it should flex around the odd shapes. Amazon, your car association, or outdoor sport store will carry options. One is even designed as a waist pack - aka 'fanny sack'.

There is a company named AquaPac that makes a variety of waterproof bags. Unlike knockoff brands, their bags do work. Just google the name and you will find a number of places where they can be obtained.

I have a heavy, clear, waterproof plastic bag that is about the size of a quart zip lock bag, maybe a touch bigger, that works very well for your needs. It has a neck strap and think I bought it at a sporting goods store.

A waterproof phone pouch is about right. You can put a number of things in it (or a phone) and carry it around your neck. They also make ones that are slightly larger.
A poor man's version is a zip-lock bag, sealed, then put inside a second sealed zip-lock bag.

Aren’t there any diving shops with an online presence that may sell such a product? I don’t dive, but if I did, I would prefer to buy from a specialist shop, rather than a general store such as Walmart.
