Even though my deuter Futura Daypack and Aircontact Backpack both have built-in rain covers, I thought it best to have a proper dry sack for cellphones and cameras, as well as larger items such as sleeping bags.
Sea to Summit Dry Sacks are constructed of lightweight, high-performance waterproof fabric with a roll-top closure and heat tape sealed seams.

They come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1 litre to 65 litres. The bags range in weight from 30g for a 1 litre to 115g for a 35 litre.
Please note that these dry-bags are not meant to remain submerged underwater for any length of time.
I have 1 litre, 4 litre and 8 litre bags.
