My GF killed a modern iPhone on a wet hike not too long ago. I'd be willing to pull out my phone to use it briefly in the rain, but I wouldn't store it unprotected in a mesh pocket. It might be fine, but as my GF found out when it's not fine the situation gets expensive fast.
I ziplock mine unless it's inside a waterproof frame bag.
