Wouldn't Acrylic be better? It's lighter and clearer then regular glass. It's like the viewing boxes at the LFSs. I made one out of acrylic for myself in fact, but I don't use my phone with it. I can float my box in my tank without any foam, not sure if the weight of a phone will make a difference, but you can just increase the height and surface area of the box to increase Buoyancy.

Made an android size one and one for my buddy with an iPhone. Testing for leaks and its all good 2 go

Any interest for one? Could calculate costs and probably be around $10 a floater.
