My Temp. ghetto case

This is what I'm using to protect my Nexus 7 while it's in my backpack until I decide what case to order.
It's a great, snug fit.

I like it!

Nice.

Nice! I am using a Crown Royal bag until I decide what case I want.

Brilliant!

At yo man dats hot. Hook me up with the dealer yo

Thanks for the well wishes for the leg! I have about 5 more weeks until I'm done with the cast.
I fractured my tibia while doing front flips on a trampoline. It had been ~9 years, and I remembered being more.... youthful.....
The broken leg is actually a big reason I broke down and got my tablet! When you have to move around on crutches... lugging around a 7" tablet vs. a 17" laptop is SO much easier.
The oven mitt happened because while in the car after buying it, a family member was holding a used casserole dish, which had that mitt in it. I placed it on the mitt before promptly being told "Don't do that, it's dirty.", so I got the idea to fit it inside the mitt. I now pack my mitt in my backpack when I go places. (I can't carry it with my hands due to the crutches.)

That's gangsta bro love it.

Aside from the pouch I ordered from amazon, my girlfriend is knitting me a yarn sleeve for my tablet which is going to be ****ing awesome once it's done. until then I'm using the spare a500 sleeve i have lying around. It'll look something similar to this just a different color.
Your current sleeve is pretty ghetto indeed, it's like owning a Mercedes and parking it in a derelict shack lol.

For those of you who don't like cases but are worried about traveling with your N7...

I picked this travel case up at Target for about 12$... fits everything nicely.

That looks pretty slick for a travel case.:good:

I like it might have to go buy one, do you happen to know the name of it.

Its actually not even in the electrinics department of target. Its in the camping supply area next to the travel stuff. Its labeled as an e-reader case and has a cardboard sleeve around it. I'm pretty sure the brand was Embark

Thanks.. I am going to go look tomorrow.. I had a feeling it would be an a area I wouldn't know about.lol

Good find. I may grab one of these.

From looking online it looks like this is it

Just an FYI, I had a similar case for my old Archos PMP. The elastic band wore away the finish on the PMP's frame after a bit of taking it out and putting it back in. I imagine that, if you're careful, it won't be a problem. And one advantage to plastic over metal is that there's no paint to abrade.

Thanks exactly what i was looking for!

That's the right one in the website posted but it says $16 online. It was definitely only $12 or $12.99 in store.

I'm not sure if this will be a problem with this or not but regardless, keeping it face down will eliminate that problem.

Cracked Nexus 4

I don't post much but i had to post this. If you have a nexus 4 get a case ASAP. I have had many phones before this and i have never seen a phone crack so easily. I have Thrown my vibrant and nexus s ( not new of course) and they never shattered. This thing fell out of my pocket onto the floor while sitting at my desk. I measured the distance at approx. 2.5 feet. It looks like i flung it off a cliff. Gorilla glass my ass. I could understand if it cracked but this thing had chunks of glass coming off of it some of it splintered into my thumb.

Ha, another one of these threads? They're cracking me up

I honestly did crack up when i saw it. It was funny. But just giving people the heads up that may not have a sense of humor like i did.:laugh:

my room mate dropped his off the couch and it hit the corner just like yours. hardly a ding. get a case!

Unlucky drop. Now stop creating threads about cracks! It's getting annoying.

God, I am so scared to even use this phone before getting a proper case...GOOGLE WHEN CAN I ORDER MY BUMPER

People seem to forget the definition of a troll. Oh well. As to the guy with the room mate it did not hit the corner it fell flat. but thanks for the advice ordering a temporary tpu case as i type.I am all for cases i never had a phone without one i just could not find any store around me to buy a temporary case while i wait for something form otterbox or something similar. I am not pissed just shocked at how much damage. I only posted to let others know not to hold out on a case and get one ASAP until they find something that suits them better. But ill let this thread die since it seems like the CRACK crack police (pun intended) is on the prowl on the forum.

Ouch, that's painful to look at.
Mine fell off my desk which is probably just about the same height. Slid off my wallet. <_>
It came out fine though... I'm really glad too. D:
Sorry for yours!

Rather unfortunate

I'm getting real worried about how delicate I have to be with this phone. My nexus s was a tank at taking abuse

I flung this thing off my lap, it hurled 3 feet away and from 4 foot high. It spun in the air, landed on cement and skidded on its face......not even a scratch...no case.....do I want it to happen again...hell no. But this guy just got unlucky.

So help me. I was sitting on the patio thx giving day. I sat the ****er in My lap and was smoking a smoke and the wife calls me to do something. I jump straight up and then watch my phone fly. My heart freaking stopped. I spent a half hour looking for a mark...none. I know I'm lucky. But the phone ain't as cheap as ppl make it out.

Lmfao.
Maybe it's hindsight bias from reading about so many people getting their device stolen lately.. But, if I was in the situation... I'd make sure to chase them until they couldn't breathe.. Then proceed to show them my new knuckle case.

Thats kinda cool..but think how much bigger our phone would be youd need a backpack just to carry opur phone around lol

Self made duct tape case

So I work as a lifeguard and I need my phone in the stand for music and ideally I'd like to have a waterproof case but there seem to be none available. i dont want the salt air to corrode the ports and internals of my phone so i usually use a sandwich bag but it doesnt provide any protection from sand really and its annoying. So I'm pretty crafty with duct tape so I decided to make my own case. I just did it about a half hour ago I'll probably make a better version in the future after I figure out the flaws but here's a few pictures of it. Let me know what you guys think.

well since you're a life guard why not buy those universal waterproof cases with neckstrap for less than $5?
Or you can get those disposable waterproof sleeves for note 2

Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/iOttie-Sams...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item1c330f7348
or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRiPRO-Spor...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d0de9f4c3

Those are good ideas but it would be expensive for me because guard all summer 6 days a week and would need to change it everyday. Also the bag would be bulky and would take up room on the stand. I really want a case like the life proof but I know there are none

Well you could purchase those knock-off Otterbox Defender or Survivor cases. They should give you relatively ok protection from sand, drop impact, and minor splashes of water (for more water protection, those sealable cases I suggested earlier, would be your only choice).
This case http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRiPRO-Spor...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d0de9f4c3 is reusable, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I work beach volleyball and know what you mean, sand is the thing I fear most. I usually use two sandwich bags and scotch tape them tightly around the phone. Back camera's unusable then but the phone is safe the screen works just fine. I've also saran wrapped the phone itself and put it back in the case.

I was doing the same sandwich bag scotch tape method but the sand was scratching the phone thru it. I used this home made case for half a day now and its working awesome

Absolutely fugly, I would never desecrate my note like that. You could have done better with the knock off survivor case, an sp, and a sandwich bag.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

That's certainly a lot more compact and efficient than trying to find a product that just doesn't exist (I have the same problems as the OP with a different model). There's no long term water/sand proof solution for any of the Notes. Desecration? I guess a scratched up, worn out phone is preferable. I've been working on the beach for six years, I know what I'm talking about.
I've been using freezer bags lately for working beach volleyball; they seem thicker.

I offered a solution in my post, one that would prevent scratches from sand, and wouldn't look like cellular Frankenstein.

It works for you, great, sand and humidity everyday, rough stuff.
Otterbox or Survivor indeed will do nothing for you here in this regard.

Personally, I didn't find it fungly. I thought it was crafty and humorous. The worst thing, I was waiting or Jeff Foxworthy to finish the "you might be redneck" punch line, LOL. It was also something I could see my grandpa loving. Duck tape fixes everything.
But hey, if ziplock bag wasn't working for you, that couldn't have cost more than $1 in parts. Maybe fifteen to thirty minutes of time. Obviously this is not a case about drops, but about keep tiny scratch particles from getting in. A prime example of function over form.
