they make it for all kind of phones , generic brand but it has worked for me. you can also try lifeproof cases they run about 20-50usd and get a used phone to go in it, not too many waterproof android devices except if you buy from someplace like aliexpress, ebay has some but idk about quality, i bought a waterproof china phone and it was so slow it was practically unusable

I am looking for a relatively cheap (sub 200$ cad) android device that doesnt have to have cell connectivity and is waterproof. Those are the main criteria and i would consider buying used it it helps me get a better device for the price. An added bonus would be micro sd expansion but this is not a must. Thanks in advance

Find a cheap android device and use a Ziploc bag.
