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
HD2
+rungps.net AB8
+ metal case (ebay 300378299986)

lanyard cases?

yeah, yeah, i know the whole "why do you need a lanyard"
i don't was just curious if they exsisted.

Doubt they mass produce any but My daughter made me one a while ago in school. Fit pretty good while it lasted. It Was cool for a minute. Used it till it feel apart. Was much happier with the key chain she made me last week.

Well, I'll be damned....I've had the phone for more than a year - this is news to me. Thanks!!

Actually almost every case I have seen has a hole for this. I didn't even realize it existed until a couple of months ago, but even the cheap case I had for about 2 weeks had a hole for it.

That lanyard hole is microscopic on my Dinc. How would you ever thread a lanyard through?

I've had mine over a year too and I could of swore that was a noise canceling microphone. Anyway, easiest way to attach one looks like you take off the battery cover, thread the small part of the lanyard/wrist strap through the battery cover ( or through your case first ) then put the loop around the little hook.

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

Sorry for the late delay, case link is here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15119514071...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
(thats the exact one i bought)
As for the CF vinyl, i comes from a generic car wrap vinyl roll form ebay. Such as :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Twill-We...Parts_Accessories&hash=item58aad06aa8&vxp=mtr
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)

Serious Buckle Wear

I've had my Gear 2 Neo for 22 days now. Today, I noticed for the first time more than just scuffing. I'll let a picture do some better explaining...
I haven't been doing anything extreme, just working at my desk in my office. There is some significant metal transfer onto the surface of the desk. I had no idea it would get this bad.
What do you guys think? Is this something I could get covered under warranty?
Does anyone else have this problem?

I tried to leave the packing on my Gear 2 but it peeled itself off within the first hour of wearing it.

That's pretty bad IMO, especially for just desk work. What type of desk? I didn't leave my original watchband on very long, since I thought it looked pretty cheesy. I bought a 22mm $20 leather watch band online and it looks and feels much better than the rubber strap that comes with it.

I would try and get it replaced under warranty but i guess they will tell you its your own fault etc..
If you still want the rubber straps, i would suggest, buy new ones on ebay and then get the cheapest `copter` displayfilm you can find and cut it to fit the buckle, should not have any more scuffing like that.
I too have a deskjob and i have nothing near the scuffing you have. Last week i got my carbon look skin from Skinomi and it came with a sticker for the buckle, atleast it will save me from some wear and tear onbthe buckle.

my buckle came apart on my gear 2 neo cant figure out if there were screws in these holes or how it was held together , also I cant seem to locate original straps on eBay.

this one does the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/accessories/ringke-fusion-case-smoke-black-t3119340

you wont regret it; my phone felt from like 20ft the cover took a serious dent but the phone is ok; a very small shadow on the bezel
