Galaxy Nexus Waterproof case? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does one exist?

I haven't done any extensive search but I looked the other day and stopped at some kind of plastic pouch.
So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I wouldn't trust a ziploc bag to last anytime submerged. MAYBE against splashes, but I'd rather use something more reliable.

While those are. Both nice, unless u are using PGM which needs a comvatibke corner. How would u turn the screen on and off. And the aqua skin is almost identical to the iottie, except u only get one at 1/3 the price

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Here's a short video I took so u can get an idea of how it is underwater also.

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

I wish lifeproof would make a case for us.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.

somthing like this for our phones

I saw this on you tube its basically a metal bumper style case its for the normal GS2so i guess it fits the At&t one as well. Has anyone seen somthing along the same lines for our phones

I've been looking for this bumper (or something like it) for weeks... we may have to get a group together and contact the manufacturer to get them to produce it for us Touch users.

There is one manufactured by a company or called a BLADE, and it is much less flimsy looking that this, it is one large piece basically a frame and a small attachment to lock it in the frame. Seemed much more durable, this thing appears less durable than good old tpu...

What's your favorite lte compatible case? Pics please

Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

Nope, mine is snug since day one. If you bought it recently, I believe you can get an exchange, but don't quote me on that.
Mine only squeeks at the area of the volume controls close to the screen and if I push on the SGP logo on back it has about 1-1.5 mm gap between back of phone and cover? Is this not the case with anyone else? I just got it today but I really don't want to have to pay return shipping

caution

Guys put a case on your note 2. A case that is in a higher altitude then your screen. if not and you drop it once on the screen or any of the corner, the screen will crack. I dropped it once and it cracked. :crying:
Guys. Put a case on any smartphone that has a glass screen. If you drop it on its face or corner it will likely smash.
Its common sense. Like driving a car drunk. You might make it to your destination safe but your likely going to crash.
Not trying to be an ass, but if you want a phone that doesn't smash get a flip phone

Why does it feel like a large amount of people just realized if your drop a smart phone chances are its gonna break? I drop mine on carpet all the time (with a case) and nothing happens, but I know the second I drop it on asphalt or a hard surface its prolly done with. This phone is no different than any other smart phone I've owned.........treat it like a wine glass

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
