Water-proof Housing for Titan

Does anyone know of a good water-proof housing for the 6800? I am planning a fishing trip in a few weeks and it would be great to be able to safely bring it. It would also be a bonus if the phone were still usable while in the housing. Thanks!

A good quality ziplock bag should work pretty good, and if you turn the volume all the way up it should be usable from inside the bag. Or use a cheap bluetooth headset, so if it falls in the water you won't be out to much.

Water Proof Housing..
I noticed no one gave a product link to a water proof case for the Titan..well I remember seeing it a while back and thought I'd post the link.

I emailed them to see who makes this and it is none other then Otterbox. Its the Otterbox 2600 series (universal PDA holder) so it works for a lot of them.

Do you know how big that thing would be if you put this in there? I mean are you deep sea diving with the thing? Seems a ziploc would do wonders to keep moisture out.
Geez-a-lou, that thing has been shown being driven over by a truck and surviving.

I can also confirm the easiest way to go is the ziplock bag. I usually use the double zipper double lined freezer bag. We throw my Titan, my Wife's Touch and my Bro-N-Law's iPhone in there. Never had a problem with it. Just takes a moment to unzip it to get to your phone if you need to make a call. Though if you are doing deep sea fishing it won't matter as you won't have cell service after a couple miles out. So save the money and use a zippy. Honest it is the smart way to go.

haha, I understand..but I figured if someone really wants to go a step further or I don't know..want to spend the money for something like it..there's the option right above us, just thought it might "help" in some cases

I did and I appreciate. I actually needed this too. So I bought it at Provantage yesterday. Only $25 and shipping I picked the slowest, it already shipped and is arriving today!

If you have any questions furrycnorm just ask away (when I use it). I will definetly use it next week where I am going.

I would love to see that thing in a belt holster.

It worked great! Yeah its big but obviously not for normal daily use.

I just got the otter box 1900 of ebay for 9.99 + ~$20 shipping if anyone is interested. Going on my V-Strom for music, navagation and calls.

When I go motorcycling I toss it into a cheap ziplock bag. If you use a "snack sized" bag then there's not a lot of extra plastic hanging around but it's too small to be slid open in the bag so you have to take it out to use the hardware keyboard. Touchscreen keyboard works fine though. If you use a "sandwich sized" bag then even the hardware keyboard can be used without removing it from the bag. I have never tried to place a call through the bag but it would probably work fine. A sandwich sized ziplock combined with a cheap bluetooth headset would be ideal.

I think the ziplock bags have it!!!

I got a RAM AquaBox for mine when I'm on the motorcycle. I plumbed in a charging cord. Bluetooth music etc.
Bad idea. The phone gets EXTREMELY hot if the sun is shining. So hot, it shuts down the internal battery charger and weakened my battery.
So if you put it in a box/bag, etc., where the suns heat will get trapped, do NOT run a charge cable to it.

I've seen the overheating thing before in the car on a hot day but I live on the coast of the north Atlantic. Overheating on a motorcycle would be an amazing thing according to how cold my fingers can get, lol. I'd be more concerned about the cold!
Seriously tho, I'll keep my eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone? Aluminum Alloy Blade Metal Frame Bumper Case

Anyone used this bumper?
The back cover is easily replaceable so I don't mind showing off the titanium texture on Note 2. A bumper fits this need. So anyone used this? It shows 20 sold, so hopefully at least someone is browsing xda.
Share your opinions :]
BTW, there's different codes of N7100 and the prices are different, e.g., BK, PK, TP, etc. What does that mean?
EDIT: UH.. nvm, seem to be color codes. BUT, same model, different prices ($20+ vs $10)????
EDIT: UH... nvm again, one is free shipping, one is $10 shipping. :facepalm:
EDIT: AND one is bid while the other is BIN. :double-facepalm:
WARNING: Based on further reading, this design is not acceptable. It scratches screen when installing/uninstalling, and possibly affects reception!!

I've also come across these
You can see that my main idea is to cover the sides, because I believe that it is still chrome like on the Note2 (mine hasn't arrived yet), and shows scratch more easily.
===========================================================================================================================================
Or do you guys think Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover + from Samsung just looks better?

Only thing I'd be worried about is it interfering with the reception
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss

Ye, that's also my major concern. So I wanted to see if anyone tried it on xda. It comes from Hong Kong, so I really don't wanna waste time just to find it interferes with the reception :/

From this thread, looks like (hopefully) it won't interfere.
xCeejayy said:
It wouldn't suppress the signal since The Note isn't like the iPhone 4/4S where the antenna is on the sides. Our Antenna is on the bottom portion of our phone so this case does not interfere with signal.

a buddy of mine has one on his s3 and has no problems. I am going to pass this link to him because when he asked if they were available for the note 2 they said no.. but that was a few weeks ago.

Just fyi guys, i updated in my OP that these bumpers will possibly scratch the screen when sliding in/out as well as interfering with signal strengths as i read in the other thread.
Try to avoid it or try to bear the risk.
There are plastic/soft bumper emerging on eBay. Search for them.

I've had a black aluminium bumper on the titanium gray note 2 for a week, it looks badass especially with the notification led in red ahah. But it does add some bulk and removes the softness of the original design when you hold it ot shove it in your pocket, Guess that bugged me just because I used the note protection free for 2 weeks :/
No signal problem whatsoever.
Little video there, mine is the second one to prove another guy the case didn't intefere: http://www.galaxynote.fr/bumper-aluminium-t8200.html#p90815
I've ordered a second one from a different brand (with replacement buttons like in the original poster picture here instead of grip notches on the sides) in titanium gray color too I'll post a full good quality video of the case if I have some time.

Alternative Bumper
I like this one because looks like thinner on front, shows side buttons and it's nice to hold to don't falls.
Where in Chinese sites can I found?

wooww..

I had the same one as in OP (aluminum frame) from eBay awhile ago, and it didn't fit the phone

Looks like a Triobump Clone.
The aluminum won't scratch the screen.

Yup, another broken screen.

The USB cable was hanging over my desk. Those that have a nexus 4 know very well these things glide easily on flat surfaces.
The weight of the USB cable pulled the phone for a 3 foot fall to my wood floor. Both glasses shattered. Touch does not work. Back on my trusty galaxy nexus until further notice.
FYI bumpers are still on back over ever since I ordered my phone. 1st day order. I received the n4 last week.
It's already been shipped back to LG.

Mine almost fell the same way as well. Luckily, I managed to catch the device before it actually fell anywhere.
I see a lot of people talking about getting a case but that's not going to stop your screen from cracking guys. Cases in many senses are absolutely useless. The shock from the fall can still break the back even if you do have a case.
I will remain caseless for now, I can't put a cheap piece of plastic over something this beautiful.

Usb cable pulled it to the floor? Sounds like some final destination stuff. Effed up. 3ft to wood for cracked both sides too? Smh
:xda on sprint g-nex:

What a bummer. At least you got the double whammy!

I saw the first picture and thought daymn.. then scrolled down and made an audible WTF noise. Well done. That's impressively smashed.
Can you please update OP with your location, how long it took to repair and how much it cost in total when you get your phone back? Don't have too it might just be good for reference in future.
Thanks!

well it's better than having no case at all. i've dropped phones with cases on and not a single scratch/crack. i'll sacrifice the extra bulk over a smashed phone

Just a protector front and back for me, no case! I like to live on the edge... And this phone feels too good

Waterproof Pouch for Note2 ?

hi guys.
I am thinking to take my note2 on Holiday and planning to do some scuba diving. Also i dont have a camera, and planning to use n7100 underwater for pictures.
Looking for a Waterproof Case Pouch, transparent and with ability to use touch screen.
Maybe anyone knows does such thing exists ? ? ? ? ?
found few on ebay , but not sure if i would be able to use touch screen with it.

Thank you for all your comments. :good:

I really dont think its worth the hassle and risk. they sell cheap underwater cameras. You really need to weigh the cost of water damaging your phone.

I haven't bought it myself, but it looks very good.
WinnerGear Waterpoorf Skin
Pros
completely waterproof
can use touchscreen (not under water)
reusable (limited times)
comes with water sensor
Cons
cannot access any ports including the S-Pen
when under water, the water pressure against the screen sometimes pushes virtual buttons. (I know this because there was a video review)
can't change battery
I looked for the video, but couldn't find it. But here is a decent one.

a ziplock bag works good as a waterproof case. Not sure if it works with the screen. It may, but it probably won't be as sensitive.

OP said he wanted to use while scuba diving... not sure that a $0.50 Ziploc bag is the proper investment to protect a $700 phone.
You can try something like this: www.drycase.com/waterproof_Smartpho...tphones_waterproof_cases_for_Smartphones.html
It's rated to withstand underwater pressure up to 100 feet for up to an hour.

I have an aquapac for my old phone. Haven't checked to see if they make a bigger one that would fit the note 2 but on my g2 it worked great. Actually, I got it for my g1. Been using it a few years now.
I'm a bit delirious now...normally work early mornings but have been working late nights the past 4 days. Now that I think of it...my note 2 did fit in my aquapac. I tried it one of the first days I had the phone..to take hurricane pics.
Should be aquapac.com
I've used it at water parks, in hurricanes, and best of all, while snorkeling in Hawaii! Touch screen works fine, but underwater it's not quite right because of the temperature I guess.
Makes you miss the hardware camera button....
I'm rambling. Tired. What I'm trying to say is... check out aquapac..they make great cases and have a good warranty/guarantee.

I'm pretty certain that even the well known branded pouches, wouldn't cope with the depths you would go to when scuba diving, the screen wouldn't even be responsive when fully submerged anyway.
I use an overboard pouch which I use when go on hikes and use memory map on my phone for navigating, that pouch is waterproof but again, there is a limit these things are rated to.

Winner Waterproof Skin looks cool, but it is only for 2 meters under water. while Dry Case is for 30 meters or 100 feet.
Thinking about both of them combined together for safety.
but than 39.99$ + 19.99$ - nearly 60$ just for few underwater pictures ??????
can get something like this and forget about all the hassle with my note. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4GB-Under...Cameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item4600fc5259

DryCase
Using a DryCase you will be able to take pictures/videos underwater without any risk for your phone and you will still be able to use the screen. The case is crystal clear which will enable you to take pictures and videos as if the phone weren’t in a case. Plus, the case is waterproof up to 100 feet which is perfect for scuba diving.
You can find DryCase at: drycase.com

Semi-related: I dove with my Garmin watch a number of times and all was well - in spite of exceeding the rated depth and duration. Until it wasn't all well. Then I had a useless running watch when I got back on land in Oz. Truly a bummer. I'm glad I only dove with a camera with a proper dive case; it would have been a helluva shame to kill my phone.

iOttie has waterproof skin too: http://iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1011&ProductType=320
but you have to keep in mind that it has finite number of uses since you have to take it on'n'off every time to charge up the phone. So it will probably last you 4-5 times or so. Still a good alternative when you are on vacation, have your battery fully charged, and want to take your phone to the beach!

my nexus 5 motherboard had Fungus

hello,
so last night i just noticed that something was wrong with my jack
left side was louder than the right
i tried alot of things
and finally went to LG service
and they opened my phone up
and saw there was small fungus on the motherboard
even though i bought my phone on 10th dec 2013
and used a cover all along "THE ARMOR CASE!"
it still managed to happen i wonder why
i did get my board replaced though
it was giving me camera crashing and heating problems as well
but this makes me wonder how can fungus pop up on my motherboard so fast.

Moisture attracts fungi... Make sure you keep the phone away from water and let it not get damped...

If you shower with your phone next to you it can be possible that the steam from a hot shower can cause fungus to grow.
Also I noticed that you said the left side is louder than the right. I'm assuming that you're talking about the speaker? The speaker is only located on the left side and the right side is for the mic.

I think you should run with it and see what you can harvest down the line. Might be worth more than the phone itself.
