There are plenty of potential geocaching hazards, but which ones are likely depends on the area you are in. Regardless of where you geocache, bring enough water and mark the location of your car, and the location where you leave a trail. The number one hazard is getting lost.
Be careful where you reach with your hands in search of a cache. Always check to see if you're not grabbing at a spider or snake or some other creepy crawly.
If you are in a wooded area or an area with a lot of loose rocks or near deep ravines, watch your steps. You don't want to fall.
Cache with a group or at least tell someone where you're going so if you're in trouble, help will arrive for you.
Most importantly, use common sense. Don't go looking for caches in caves if you have no caving experience, don't go crossing a lake if you don't know how to swim.

What are the disadvantages of geocaching with an android?
The biggest disadvantage to geocaching with an android is the fact that, unlike a handheld gps your android is not waterproof or durable. As a geocacher myself I can assure you, you will drop your gps device sooner or later. If you really want to try geocaching with your android go ahead and just be very careful! If you decide that you really want to continue geocaching then I highly recommend that you buy a real geocaching gps. An entry level gps can be purchased for around $50!
Does Magellan tough case work with geocaching?
The Magellan Toughcase made for the iPhone and iTouch by my review and along with other individuals does not work well for geocaching. It does bring GPS capabilities to the apple products but it does not update position when hiking or walking towards a cache. This is a problem when geocaching.
