waterproof case

i was wondering if anybody knows where i can get waterproof case for dell streak something like this would be great http://www.androidcentral.com/android-case-review-aquapac-weather-resistant-case
appreciate the help

aquapac do loads, so there should be one that fits it.
I had one of the very first aquapacs and used it for a couple of years, don't know how well it would work with a capacitive screen though.

Got one, bought it years ago for my n95 but it used toget lost as inside it as it was typo big. But guess what its a perfect size for the dell. Although a bit tight with the head phones. But the you wouldn't have head phones as the wire doesn't allow it to be watertight. Although you can get some with water proof head phones. Also capacitive screen works a treat.

yeah I bought my first for cycling LeJog, I did see that amazon one, was thinking it would work a treat inside my velomobile, rather than outside, as I'm not convinced it looks very waterproof..

thanks for the help received it today its been raining so just tried it out whilst having a bath playing games try it the weekend my wife going to be having our baby in birthing pool so don't matter if i drop it taking pictures

Take a look here:
ThinkGeek Waterproof Cases
I don't have first hand experience with this.

Waterproof cases
Well i was looking for one, my brother has this case ordered from Thinkgeek, but its not reliable and he rechanged it. I got one from Chinabuye last month this waterproof cases, its cool and its quite protective as it was raining here last month. Reliable and good rate, worth for money.

Skinomi Tech Skin+Screen Protector - Carbon

Hey Everyone, I was goofing around Amazon and came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
So I tought I would let everyone know! It is a cool looking carbon skin,with a screen protector for $15... My only concern is that it looks like it is one big skin on the back so that could be problematic.

Looks OK all we need is a Guinea pig lol

Probably!!! But they call it that and can charge $5 more!!!!

I'll give it an try and report back!

Ordered one of these on 8/16. Got dilivery notice right away with USPS tracking number.
USPS tracking said "Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received" and has never changed.
Waited checking tracking daily and hoping.
Late on 8/27 got an e-mail from amazon telling me my order was being refunded "Due to customers request." I never requested a refund. I wanted the product.
Checked out the companies feed back and found out I am not the only one that happened to. E-mailed to see what is going on, but others say I will never hear from them.
Time to look for other solutions.

Same thing happened to me.

recieved my carbon protector today direct from Skinomi
i have already got a screen protector so wont be using that, i have the fit form case
so prob wont use the back bit (which does have cut outs on it) may use the side panel protectors but the stuff is striped and may look a bit S*^T

Could you post a couple of pictures of it? If not, no worries. Thanks!

i got this from amazon on friday and put it on no pics it does add some depth to the streak and scratch protection. I just cant wait for the otterbox commuter to come out. I heard a tell on another forum that they are listed under dell premier logins with a 2 week backlog. i cant confirm that yet because my shipping person is out on vacation for the week.

That link was a surprise . . That is my Streak . . my pictures . . After that I got the Otterbox, the $19 one .. Took off the skin and put on the Otterbox .. HATED IT [don't like the way it feels to the touch, I am constantly picking lint off of it..] and I have since purchased another skin. I bought the clear one .. Sort of wish I bought the one in the picture again but the clear skin hasn't arrived yet. Maybe I will like it. I like the skinomi screen protector better than the one that comes with the otterbox. diane

You should try the otterbox communter if you don't like the feel of the impact. The communter has a hard shell.

Problem is, I ordered the Mugen battery. I don't know what case I will be able to use.

if you are talking about the mugen 4800mh battery then probably none of the otterbox cases... they are all perfect fit of the original streak size.

microfiber pouch

Lost mine, anyone wants to apart from theirs or know where can I order a replacement? Dell US is out of reach in my case and local one does not sell or support streak...

Not off hand, but Crown Royal bags would make a great replacement if you can find someone with a sewing machine

Oakley microfiber pouch (MEDIUM) might work well since the pouch just slightly bigger then the Dell pouch.

I saw a case like the one that came with my streak at the 7-eleven store .. It was a sunglasses case.

Thanks all, no luck on finding a seven11 but will look into Oakley.

got one you can have
Greetings... I have a pouch I won't be using...
Send me a pm with your address and I'll drop it in the mail to you!

How are people using the pouch?
If I had my phone inside the pouch and my phone rings, it would go to voice mail by the time I get the drawstring opened and get the phone out.
That's why it sits unused on my desk.

If there is anyone that would like to sell me theirs, please PM me. I lost mine and can't find it anywhere.

I don't use the drawstring - I just put the phone in the pouch.

I used the drawstring because it seemed like the phone would just slide out onto the floor if you accidentally held it upside down. But then it was hard to get it it open wide enough to get the phone out of the bag. This is why I don't use it.

What happened to yours? Probably the same wear as some where the small L shaped latches finally break away? Would be helpful to have an extra back cover handy. Does yours at least stay shut so the phone stays on?

Fortunately it stays, but it is not easy to change battery!!

Someone posted on this site that its $30 from dell.com but would be nice locating a better deal elsewhere.

Gotcha!
For those who havent found a replacement yet, I've found a few on ebay from Honk Kong for £17.99, free P&P... Search 'battery door cover fix dell streak'. Obviously, unless someones managed to find a better deal..

There are covers listed on eBay, but you might want to check out this replacement battery. It isn't much more than the cover by itself and you get a new battery.

Dropped my nexus 7 one to many times

So i droped my nexus last night it bounced off my night stand on the way to the ground and when i picked it up it was off. figured wtf hitt the button.
nope it stayed off
press and held the buttons and tried to get it to reset ect. no go it was dead. connected it to the charger and tried again. got a back light but nothing else.
so did the non tech thing (smacked it a few times and pressed the power , came up flaky screen was kind of scrambled. great i trashed my nexus by droping it.
so called Google they made me do all the stuff i already did, no surprise its dead.
they told me to call asus for support. , went to asus site they wanted my sn to make a case, couldn't find find it i know i registered it. they told me i would need to send it in they would charge me 65 to issue a new serial number WTF! and then if the repair was not in warnty it would cost 165 to fix the nexus. 65+165 is more than a new nexus 16 (what i have). so i said thanks but no thanks.
so as i sat and stared at my paperweight i thought why not. i got a razor blade and a butter knife. used the razor to crack the edge of the case off and then popped the back off with the butter knife.
looked around and noticed those wonderful overworked china drones routed one of the wires for the battery round the backside of a plastic support pin. this made the wire very tight and it pulled the connector off the main board on one side of the battery connector creating a short. i pushed the wire on the right side of the support pin and reset the power connector and bam nexus back to life.
so if you dropped your nexus and it boot loops and or just wont turn on when off the charger. open it up and check the battery wires bet you got the same cross eyed Chinese tech and the battery unplugged itself

Thanks for the tip. I use a TPU case for my Nexus 7.

Drop it (multiple times), smack it around, then take a RAZOR BLADE to it?! Good lord.
No surprises here.... None at all....

Cool story bro. Glad you fixed it. I fix most of my stuff too. I'm a techy guy and probably more qualified then the drones that work at the factories.
Just like my wife's Samsung Netbook (back when netbooks were cool). She insisted taking it out by the bonfire where some friends and I were drinking. I told her countless times to take it in before a full glass of red Merlot gets dumped right in the keyboard. She runs inside and plugs it into the wall??!!!
I took it apart and cleaned it up but the keyboard was hosed. I called Samsung for a replacement keyboard but they wouldn't sell me one. I had to send it in. When it got there, I got a call about purple stuff in there and thus the warranty was voided. I said yeah no ****, I told you guys we dumped wine in there. She wanted to charge me $75 for the keyboard and $125 an hour. I laughed and said I only paid $220 for it, for $200 I'd rather buy a new one and see if the old one would Blend.
Bought the keyboard off eBay for $16 and she still uses it like 4 years later.
