waterproof bag lol?

I was looking at Proporta BeachBuoy - Waterproof Case but reviews show signs of bad quality, has anyone got a NOTE 1 durable waterproof bag? this would be used mainly for traveling :>
something that will carry the note 2 in and maybe a little bit more. not a full on back pack size or anything

Check out dry pak on eBay ... the only downside i noticed is that, these kind of bags overheat the phone because they don't let any air in

I guess you need something like this ?

Use transparent food foil. It's cheap and working very well.

Want to drop that in a bucket of water for 30 seconds and tell me how it holds up?
One of my friends flipped her kayak once.
She had her phone in something similar to the OP, and her phone was just fine
I've always thought about getting one after that.
The aquapac looks pretty solid.

In theory, you shouldn't be playing games or anything when it's in the bag, so it shouldn't be that bad.
Does recording video heat up the phone?

I travel a lot with my phone, but I just carry a sandwich zip lock bag with me in my backpack just in case it rains. I have pulled that bag out maybe three times in the last year.
Personally I wouldn't invest in a fancy waterproof case unless you are planning to use it in the shower every day.

I bought one of thoose bags and scubadived with it on 15 meters depth with my note 1 in Thailand, worked very well, somehow the N1 couldnt handle 1080p under water,, coulors were horrible.,,, use 720p and start recording before diving under water...
http://youtu.be/X2OIiJA2lY0

was it a dull day or something? cos the colours look quite bad even on your 720p recording.
How was the auto focusing?
I wonder if the touch screen will work with the pen, underwater?

I have BlackBurn waterproof case for my note1 - it is quite job to slide note1 into it but it fits there. As note 2 is about 2mm brighter should perfectly fit into that case - there is still room left for note2 for his additional 4mm into high - i dont have note 2 yet, but i already checked the case with dummy
There is no problem at all with this case to handle screen, even with calling i can hear as there is no bag and also other side never complained that can not hear me. On the bike in my back pocket never get the phone wet from sweating even sometimes got caught by rain.

i was recording with 1080p in that clip ,, that was no good,, made a try with 720p later but that dive was horrible and i didnt se more than 3 meters, still 720p did wonders..
Changing to 720 p on youtube does not change that i recorded in 1080p

They are working on an SIII case, might be worth pestering them for a Note 2 case.

The 3XL box still isn't big enough though!

I've used the AquaPac for 3 years now. I'm around water most of my day working in the yard. Watering plants, digging, etc. The AquaPac has saved me several times from ruining my phone (direct hit with sprinkler, dunked into the pond). I listen to podcasts and with the Note 2, it's loud enough to just put it on speaker and go. Otherwise I've used a bluetooth headset. I now also have an older AquaPac for when I paint or am around grease.

If you go to their main website, they have other types/sizes. The one in the link above, fits the Note 2 "just right". It fits, but if you have a case of any type, it's not going to fit. Fyi, one side of the case is completely clear, the other side has the company logo.

Maybe even this one: http://usstore.aquapac.net/explore-...-cases/large-whanganui-fits-ipads-uss668.html
Edit: I have a FlyGrip on my phone and there is no way it fits into my original AquaPac. Luckily, I found this, good price and excellent ratings! http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-Dry-Multi-Purpose-Case/dp/B005G77P7S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

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

OMG.... thats is too bad...
my case ( sleeve ) is on order... hopefully we dont break many of these beauties... be careful ppl..

Looking for case

I have a case with a weird issue. Its grabbing my nexus 7 so tight that its squeezing the power button internally or something so screen goes off immediately after unlocking. It doesn't happen at all without case on. Gonna return it to amazon and grab a new one since I've been super clumsy lately and don't want to break my new toy. Any suggestions? Edit screen turning on and off appears to have something to do with light any ideas what it might be?

What kind of case is it? Many cases have a magnet in the lid, that should shut down the screen when the lid is put over the screen.
Some cheap cases also seem to have a bit too powerful magnet, so even if the lid is turned behind the screen, nexus 7 still detects it and shuts down the screen.
Does your case have a magnet?

Sorry, I didn't see this at first.
The Nexus 7 has a wake/sleep sensor, which is activated by the presence/absence of a magnet. As noted in the last post, if your case is compatible with the sensor, then when you open the case's cover, the N7 wakes up. When you close the cover, it will go to sleep.
(I wish I would go to sleep that easily!)

ah weird thought it had something to do with the lighting. then why was i able to duplicate the result by moving the camera around the ceiling fan light bulb? couldn't do it without the case on though so that has to be part of the cause. anyway i can't see a magnet but doesn't mean it's not embedded in there. this is the case by the way http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=1356622879&sr=8-1&keywords=moko+nexus+7+case

Alot of those cheaper cases use magnets that are too strong and flipping the lid over turns off the screen from the back. I owned a Blurex case just like that one and I liked it alot actually. Because of the design, I can't imagine it has anything to do with the power button.
Play with the lid, as I suspect that is your problem. You may be able to put a piece of tin-foil behind the N7 so the magnet's effect is tainted from behind. That or pick up a new case. I really liked that style of case as it felt very protected. I eventually moved to the Poetic slim case (iPad style) but the quality was disturbing. After a few weeks the plastic started to buckle and tear.
I ended up with a Portenzo Book Case that I like very much. It has a great feel to it, doesn't add bulk, and looks very nice. Overall it is holding up very well. The tablet is held in by 2 3M sticky pads. The top, bottom, and button-sides are exposed. The magnets were adjusted during initial releases and working perfectly.

tried with a fridge magnet no luck. oh well got a leather pouch laying around that i think i'll just store the thing in when not using it and carrying it around. it's not like i'm gonna go walking around using the thing and not paying attention to where i'm going like i might with my phone.

Wow they sent me another one for free without me even asking and it works great. Definitely go ahead and order one if you are interested. Must have read my review

Quick look at the Orange Flip Case

Samsung was giving out Flip Cases for the Galaxy Note II and the SIII at CES 2013 show in Las Vegas. I decided to go orange. Didn't think I would like the orange color after getting it, as the day went by I really like the orange color. Here is a quick video of the flip case.

looks great! I'll take it if you want to off load it

i guess it's an acquired taste. like coffee. however, it does look very nice.

Thanks for the review. I ordered the orange one when Samsung was having the free flip case promotion and I was wondering what it would actually look like. A co-worker has the light blue one and that one was really pretty too.
So sad watching the video and seeing the crack on the screen. Such a bummer.

I tried an orange case but found myself growing breasts so I returned it.

You would have to view it on a regular browser, I believe if you are viewing from the iPhone it won't load. I could be wrong but will look into maybe adding a mobile link.

:crying: Yes, first week of having the G'Note II it slipped out of my hand and landed on the corner and weird part was it didn't crack on the spot. The corner was scratched up and later I went to use the phone and the crack showed up. More likely it put pressure on the corner and cracked afterwards. I'm going to replace the whole screen and LCD, but will wait for the price to come down from $300.00 for the parts.
The orange color reminds me of the Dodge Charger car.

Hey guys.
For those of us who prefer the OEM flip case but want some drop protection, consider buying a cheap lariat and feeding it through the speaker hole on the back. Wear the lariat around your wrist when using the phone and if you drop it the phone never hits the ground.
The lariat also helps you to pull it our of your pocket if you are wearing tighter jeans.

I have the orange as well. I got it for 50% for registering my phone via Facebook. The orange is very odd. It's almost peach in bright lights. I find that the flip cover gets in the way most of the time. It is nice though. If you use a car mount.... get ready to hate the cover.

I wouldn't recommend you keep it on like that, I did that for awhile and eventually the piece started to bend. Instead feed it through the hole and tape the lanyard to the inside of the back cover, You won't see the tape when the cover is closed . Don't put too much though or the cover won't close. It's kept my phone from hitting the ground thus far. This was the lanyard I used http://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-NEW-T-MO...368729?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336ab1ca99

I sure hope that's what OP meant about cracks. Hopefully my mind didn't make it out to be worse than it is.

I love how people say their is a defect in their device yet they don't provide photo's, Very frustrating

I do not have a single crack in my device.

I know this is HTC One forum, but I had an HTC Evo 4g and within about 2 weeks I noticed cracks in the band. What eventually happened is it cracked near my volume button and actually separated one day when I pulled my phone out of my pocket. Had to use black electrical tape ever since. It's nothing more than a ROM flashing gadget and game console for my niece now. Google htc case crack, and you'll see a lot of hits. Pretty common thing with HTC.

Did you somehow bend it? Let me see the front. Looking at the black(screen) part it's like you flexed it forcibly or somehow it's like you sat down on it.
I've drawn a yellow line on the picture. Look at the black part bending.

It's kept in a case in the inside pocket of my jacket. This thing is being cared for like a new born child. There was a slight imperfection around the volume rocker that I noticed when I received it. I thought I would live with it but now that it's cracking I'm going to have to call up and get a replacement.

That plastic looks like it's UV damaged or it wasn't cooked properly in the first place.

That's very dissappointing then. I really am confused how it cracked like that. Even the lowest of quality plastics don't just go crack up without any reason. It's like...
lol! :laugh:

These fractures are typical result of bending. I suppose the plastic element got bent before it was assembled and passed the QC unnoticed.

I've checked mine which I have had for 9 days and no cracks whatsoever. I do have the small gap problem at both the top and bottom of the phone but it is very small and I am not going to switch it since so many people have it and I will probably just end up with another device with the same problem. The gap doesn't bother me that much anyway.

Just called ee. They're sending a new one for tomorrow morning. I have to say that their customer service is fantastic.
