Which case for Snowboarding?

In 3 weeks I'm off for a week of snowboarding and I'll be taking my HD2 (with Satski ) with me. Before I go I want to get a case which will protect the HD2 when I fall (and I will fall.....LOTS!).
It doesn't have to be pretty as it's primary purpose will be to protect the phone.
I've had a search on the forum and can't find any recomendations for cases for skiers and snowboarders.
Cheers,

I have seen lot's of these hard-cases on ebay. please have a look there.
Something "HD2 Protective" and see what you find. It should have hard plastic cover on the back, or maybe steel cover's. that would be the best.
I think you would be good with a real leather case as well. just something to break the bump's good. you will fall... but you will probably not ruin your HD2 but i guess you want to be on the safe side

on the site of PDair you can find a Aluminum Metal Case for the hd2

Vote 1 for bubble wrap!!!!!

A metal case will likely interfere with the signal reception of the device... ever heard of the cage of faraday??
But if this works, i'd like to know!

leave it in your hotel room mate, if you drop it while boarding you probably wont find it again anyways lol

while snowboarding the device should best be protected "inside" your main "front forfearm", "under" your elbow. sure that if you if you want to keep it a bit functional and protected, main problem will be humidity.
if you plan using a GPS, and stereo BT headset mind not losing your way too late as std batteries will fly quick

Damaged my casing, felt like crying :(

I've been meaning to order a silicon or other type of protective casing/sleeve etc since im quite prone to dropping devices, luckily never done any real damage.
Yesterday I had my Tab in the inside pocket of my jacket and when I pciked my jacket up to put it on it slipped out ad I swung jacket and the Tab came crashing down to the bumpy concrete floor.
My tab now has scratches/dints in two corners, I'm so [email protected] pissed at myself for leaving it this long to place order.
Needless to say I will be ordering right away.
Does anybody know of a way to get the casing replaced as I would kind of like it to be pristine as I've only had it little over a month.

Youd like to replace the plastic casing, have I understood you correctly?
I don't know if this would pay out at all.
I just googled for the casing. Best I could find is the backpart. But you said the edges where damaged.
I would advise you to rather spend that money on a really nice case and cover those dents up.
So I don't use a case either, because I don't want the tab to get bulky.
So I can't recommend a case too you.
But this relies quite heavily on personal preference in anyway.
galaxy tab 1.4.5 overcome

I actually preferred the full black casing and was hoping I could get a full black replacement but haven't seen any about anywhere. If/when I do ill make sure I post about it

Incipio Feather. Get one.

Athiest - the same place I got my new glass sells the back and CASES! I will pm you the link.

What were you thinking? Can I trade your tab for a blackberry? I hear they need a clown on their forum.

If I were you i would not replace the casing but spend the money on a real good case, that can handle people's clumsyness (like you and me ), the Otterbox.

Atheist bud. Samsung repair center does replace casing but for a fee (sorry buddy warranty doesn't cover accidents).

Now, now children, play nice before the big bad moderator(just kidding) comes and closes this thread....

1) Personally, you and I may not see eye to eye on the forums, and I smirked when I read the OP... but whateva
2) I'd think getting a nice sleek case would be a better option than cracking the tab open... unless you already have (which wouldn't surprise me ) I have one that adds only a couple of millimeters of thickness and protects with silicon AND plastic. (Nice latches on the corners provide extra protection on the sides/corners) I like it.
3) This thread is likely to get closed by days end... So I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in regarding the ACTUAL topic at hand.
4) This whole thing has been mildly amusing. Can't believe I actually sided with Athiest in my head

Well tbh I want to do both. I want to replaced the chipped housing and then get a protective sleve or casing aswell.
Gunna pm the dude earlier who said he knew whereto get them (He never pmd).

Fair enough, I just don't see paying to much to be worth it if 99% if the time it's covered by the case... But for the right price, can't say I'd want any different for my precious tab.

$20. You will need a tri-blade screwdriver and a case opening tool. It took only four days to get my replacement glass.
Need a link for the dismantling instructions and tools?

Awesome, thnx dude
Yeah links would be great.

My homemade book case

After realizing I didn't like my $5 dollar velcro sleeve and not willing to spend $50 on a Portenzo or anything like that I set out to make my own book case. There's multiple instructions online how to hollow out a book but they're all basically the same. This is the most detailed http://rive.rs/projects/how-to-hollow-out-a-book and I mostly followed it but I didn't save a page at first so whatever. You can also tell I didn't do as good a job because I wasn't as clean on the corners and didn't take a lot of time. I also cut into the back a little but it's ok I might even paste a page back there to cover it up.
I'm not sure I'd suggest the sketchbook I bought because it's one of the Nepal Lokta ones and they have kind of "fuzzy" pages. If you're wondering a Moleskine notebook is too small. Just go to any book store and look at the hardcover journals/books. Books are actually cheaper because they have like $5 dollar bins and whatever but you have to like the cover of the book. I payed $13 for the sketchbook.
I'm also thinking of adding either an elastic band or magnets to secure it. Probably an elastic band because I'd have to cut some more to make a hole for the magnet.
Here are pictures (What most of you care about)

Great Idea and great job! How do you make sure the Nexus stays in there? Do you glue it in or? Sorry, I can't see it that clearly from the pics.

It doesn't stay in there, I don't like having a case always on so I just pick up out of the book when I want to use it. I've seen other book cases for Kindles or Nooks that use elastic bands on the corners to keep it in if you want it that way.

Nice!
One question, did you install any "bumpers" inside the book to keep it from falling you if you turn it over?

NVM I see your response that you take the N7 out of the case when you use it. I thought it was wedged in there and kept in place with some sort of rubber inserts in the corners to keep it from slipping out. My bad. :silly:

hm, if you don't mind, I'd recommend putting some thin foam-pads (the stuff the use to do for packaging) which might reduce the movement of the nexus while in the case? And it might give you a little bit of extra protection

I'm kicking myself a little for throwing out the foam insert that came in the package away but it's not that bad. It's barely loose so I'm not worried about that and for protection once I have the cover stay closed it shouldn't be bad at all. I could also line the inside with felt or something.

Did you make slots for buttons and charger and headphones?

Nillkin Fresh smart case is the bomb

Recently received my case from ebay, cost a grand total of 8.88 bucks sh included. The flip works great and the phones detects it.
Does not feel flimsy or cheap!
I wrapped the back with cf vinyl that I had laying around (yes i know some debris got stuck under there but it doesn't bother me)

I has the original from LG... and already ordered some bumper ... got annoyed from having to open it and close it, also whilst playing normal games its just in way. As well was the cause for me throwing the phone on the ground, finger got stuck in the hole.
If it was a phablet, tablet, I would maybe like it. If it was even Amoled that it had some nice options to it as well.
But since there are no real apps for the quick window, no real or good notification, and I got incredibly annoyed by the ever changing clock or aps.
Anyway . Sorry for the rant

As for the CF vinyl, i comes from a generic car wrap vinyl roll form ebay. Such as :

I have a bad habit of wrapping my devices when I get bored just grab an xacto knife and a hair dryer and get to work! (does a WHOLE lot better job then precut CF)

In need of a bullet proof LG G4 case

Hello,
I am currently employed as a top secret spy. I am in need of a bullet proof phone case for my LG G4. My plan is to always keep it in my front left shirt pocket, just in case some no good, would-be evil villain tries to shoot me in the heart.
Please respond and do the needful. You are my only hope.
Love,
~ DeMiNe0
P.S. ~ I am been informed by 20degrees that the heart is actually not where I had orignally thought it was. I am also now in the market for a trendy shirt with either a. a third middle pocket, or b. one single middle pocket.

But the heart is actually closer to the center of the chest..... ?

Well ****.....
OP Edited!

Why not just wear shirts with an arrow pointing to a less life threatening area with a caption that reads "My hear is actually located here" ?

Yeah, it is actually centred, but the left ventricle is bigger than the right side, so it appears to be to the left.

I had the Urban Armor Gear case for the Galaxy S3, and it took quite a bit of abuse. I got it for the G4, and it seems just as sturdy. The fit and finish is perfect, even with the leather back. They have two, both transparent. One is clear, and the other is smoky. They apparently have certified military grade drop protection. I read a story from someone who had one for the GS3 that dropped it off their motorcycle going 30mph, and the phone was completely fine.

well if u really need a bulletproof case
i suggest you buy some cheap hardcase from ebay or amazon
then you go buy a nice block of steel, or titanium, or maybe vibranium if you can get your hands on
then you find your nearest blacksmith or metal workshop, then forge or mold the metal block you have into the shape of the hardcase
and maybe you should kill the blacksmith, the metal seller, and the ebay/amazon seller, because you don't want to get your cover blown, right

I just hired a sniper to shoot you. Hope you already got your bullet proof case.

This is probably the most entertaining post I've seen here for quite some time. Well done!

You should buy the zerolemon case and battery. That thing could probably stop a bullet and could also be used to hit an enemy over the head.

Easy, Tony Stark can make you one! You oughta know him, right?

Have you looked into carbon nanotubes?
Every spy agency should have at least some of this material available for standard field work.
It offers flexibility and low weight.
Perfect for a nice bullet proof suit, with pockets anywhere you desire.
Then you could just use a fancy case and look even more awesome.
You could add some piezo electric generators and combine it with a Qi charger.
Spare power could be sent to your other spy gadgets.

Kevlar is your friend.

you live in italy 70's?

I suggest forgoing the pocket and just hang it on a chain, mr t style.
