I've been looking around for trying to find a waterproof case to take in the pool area. Does anyone know of a good quality one? Maybe you own one and can go give your opinion. I have seen the seidio obex case online and seems to be the only one I can find.

You would probably get a better response in the accessory forum.

I've had my OBEX preordered since April 1st,it said it would be a 2 week back order. I called yesterday and they said there was a shipping mishaps and they are getting a few by the end of this week but won't be able to fulfill all pre orders until next month they predicted.

Damn! ! Lol I pre ordered one today. Guess I better continue being careful. I cracked my screen on my s4 waiting for my life proof, at the time I was on mdl so it was unlocked with loki. When I got my insurance phone it was already upgraded and locked for a while. Making sure to be careful with this one, including staying away from OTA.

Well got my case today, Very Study case.Feels great in the hand. People can hear me fine and I can hear them fine. Two huge cons right now,The proximity sensor automatically trips so as soon as I place a call the screen goes out and to end the call I have to push the power button and then hit end call. And two is the headphone port cover can come loose very easy,And when I mean easy I mean you barely touch it and it pops out. I called Sedio but they are out of the office today and will return Monday. Also they have little dots all over the screen that when your looking at the screen with a light back ground it looks like little specs of water droplets.
I read somewhere those dots are spacers to prevent rainbow effect and other issues related to sandwiching of screens.

Well my poor phone suffered a fall to the concrete that it was unable to withstand. My screen is cracked and therefore renders the phone useless. I have an extended warranty with accidental damage thankfully tho. Not sure if they are going to just fix mine and send it back to me or give me the money to buy a new one. With that said I just went to Google's site and it says that the AT&T version is temporarily not available. Is this part of Google's new transition or is it just out of stock? I'm hoping it's the later of the two.

Balls. I am hoping so too. In any event, I am sure HTC can fix you up.
Quick question, which phone case were you using when this fall to the concrete happened?
Possibly either that or out of stock? Or out of stock because of that?

This is correct. In the Google support forums, a Google employee confirmed that this was just a temporary shortage and that they would be available in the next few days.

What colors did you go with?
i just checked and you can order an AT&T version on google.com/phone now.
so I dropped my phone about 2 hours ago. Still can't believe it, the AMOLED screen has cracks that run through it, so the display doesn't show anything.
However, everything else is in tact including the digitizer. I guess the AMOLED repair shouldn't run me more than $150 phew.
Has anyone ordered or used a Stealth Guard for their phone? I ordered one the other week (was only $2 something total).

Right now, you only have to pay for shipping.

This review (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8204705#post8204705) is fairly negative about the quality of the screen protector. For covering the back of the phone, I'm not so concerned about the look. But I don't think I want it on the screen.
Yeah, there's a huge thread about these.
Their instructions say to apply a solution, that was not provided nor instructed on how to make our own.
I ordered 2 sets for my HTC EVO. With both sets only the front screen protector was removable, the rear and sides were not cut all the way through the plastic. Taking a razor blade to it often lead to disaster.
I won't recommend them, no matter how cheap they are. You get what you pay for.
I didnt care for the screen one.. used the back though... but for free what do u expect.lol
Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".
websites dead nw!!!
now the websites goneeeee =( i order mine, it was so good that i thought of ordering another one, but then its goneeeeeeeee =(
I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

behind our products and provide a fully compatible replacement within

as the lay-over unit before you receive the updated version. We will
be sending you another email with details on how to obtain the
replacement units when they are ready.
Again,we want o thank you for your business. We understand you have

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Haha, I will be super geek no doubt. I think they can both connect to the phone at the same time. Will have to muster some confidence to wear them in public. I hear the Glass battery won't last long but didn't know if it killed the phone battery. Guess I will find this out in a few days.
I ordered my Glass yesterday. Its going to be delivered Tomorrow. My Glass is charcoal and my Gear is orange. I leave for Boot Camp in January so I don't have that much time with it. Guess i'll have to put them on a shelf for 15 weeks. Maybe I can make a promotional video for Google with the Army's permission. Would make an awesome first person commercial but I doubt that will happen.

Congrats on both accounts.... Proud Navy Dad here!
I ordered Shale (which is kind of a brown color). Status has changed to shipped so I think that means they will be here today. My kids are more excited than I am, and my 12 year old is already mocking me..
Anyway, I hear the notifications aren't great on glass right now, so I guess the Gear will continue to handle that, and I will do other stuff with glass.
On a different note, I've spent the last 3 weeks on the road and the Gear has become the perfect smartwatch. Turning it off at night I have been able to get 3-4 days on a charge so have left the charger behind on most trips.
Works fine. My phone battery is being smashed with all these Bluetooth gadgets!

So my Glass came this morning and I've been wearing them all day. Very different than what I thought they would be. While the Gear and Pebble are pretty much notification machines, not so for Glass.
It's pretty interesting interacting with it and using some of the glassware.
I've already been through a mild headache and my eyes hurt.
So far the verdict is - I couldn't give up my Gear for anything day to day, while Glass may end up as more trouble than it's worth unless I'm travelling.
There is a lot of overlap between the two devices. I haven't done much with the camera on glass yet, and maybe that is the killer feature.
Yeah, glass won't be replacing my gear anytime soon

I got invite as well and I don't think I will drop 1500 for it. I just don't think it's worth it atm. Really want one though. If it's like $500 I don't even have to think about it.
Just gonna stay with gear for now.

You'd be one of less than 40k people in the world with one...
The killer feature of Glass is using voice actions for everything. Seeing the whole action build in front of your eye is pretty cool. Gotta think the Gear could get there too though.
I feel like there is much more utility to be had from the Gear (or Pebble for that matter) without the need to strap Glass to my face.
wow
wow you can actually buy a Glass now? that's pretty amazing. 1500 bucks though that is quite a price.
To be honest I think that you could do exactly the same functions with the gear as the Glass but then nobody would buy the glass so.. I'll just wait for a custom ROM for the gear. Heck i may even donate 15 bucks for itt haha.
Got my invite also but cost to high figured they would drop some by now. Sticking with the gear until price comes down on glass for sure.

Comes in multiple colors. Seller is awesome. Should protect against scratches from bumps and the problem areas of the watch. It wasn't as bulky as I thought. I got the black one. He sent me a white glow in the dark one because of a shipping delay of no fault of his. The white one wasnt my cup of tea but the black rocks. You do have to remove it to charge. It clips on pretty good. Im surprised i havent seen it mentioned here with all the sanding and such. The groves are not nearly as pronounced as the picture shows. Mine was smoother which i liked. Great with a screen protector for scratch protection. Hopefully the picture uploads otherwise his ebay name is archer28.
One more real picture. sorry about the second post
Thanks for sharing. What a coincidence. I was just searching for something similar and I found this post.
Could you pls share the ebay link?
Cheers.
i found him by typing in lg g watch r case on ebay. his name is archer28. he said he would be listing more next week. tell him Jeremiah sent you. i thought it was a great idea so we were chating back and forth a bit. great guy. said he was taking a break this week. i told him i was gonna post on xda so im sure more will be listed. large range of colors also
It's 3D printed, possibly designed by himself.
My only gripe is that you gotta remove it before charging. I can see me doing that each time I come home from work.
It's not on his eBay yet, but I'm eager to purchase it if the price is right
it was under 10 bucks. i think for me its more of an accessory where i wouldnt always use it but its perfect for those times where you would be hesitant to wear the watch or worry about it because of it getting damaged. its really easy to remove so its really not a big deal to remove before charging. keep checking next week or drop him a quick email through ebay. im positive more are coming and he took a break this week

BTW he just made another run of black covers.

Any pics of the bottom of the watch with cover on?

Yea i use the cover all the time with no damage to the watch yet with it on. i just snap it off to charge. it isnt perfect but a pretty darn good solution. i dont want to sand mine or damage it while it has a warranty. eventually if they do a holiday sale i may get the huawei watch.
ive got 2 of these for a 360 great fit and protection
have 3 coming for the gwatch r
guys in VA like mysef
Any sellers anywhere??

You could try to reach out to him and see when the next run is: http://www.ebay.com/usr/archer28
I been buying these from him for a while now ordered 3 so far because I keep losing them there great tho and great price! His father just died tho so he shut down for a while an eBay message he sent me said. hopefully he comes back because he is the only guy with this on eBay right now with watch covers.
Just bought this idk how a owner of this watch could live without this .. Seller was even nice enough to send me a red one .. Must buy

I agree. I got the orange one and found a strap band and watch face to match.
Is possible buy a cover? Because in eBay its ended?
