Has anyone done any underwater photography with their Note 3? If so, what case are you using? Links appreciated. I'll be going on vacation in Cancun soon, and would like to get something that's waterproof (submersible) and has been proven to be safe.
Thanks.
A Zip-Loc bag might be sufficient down to one meter. I have not tried it and I don't know how touch will be affected.

Ya that's a bit too risky for my liking. There's bound to be something a bit more safe/secure/tested.
Found this -->http://www.amazon.com/DandyCase-Waterproof-Samsung-Galaxy-Motorola/dp/B00IPWL1XU/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1401982916&sr=1-8&keywords=note+3+waterproof
Wonder if anyone has tried something like this.

Red pepper case is the way to go. I got that one from eBay and is working perfectly. Just search in the accessories area on this forum and you will find the link, they have videos of people doing under water videos and pictures.

OK, I'm about to buy a red pepper case. Can someone please confirm that it indeed works under water. Like the touch screen works and you can use the phone.
I have a bag type waterproof case that is indeed waterproof, but the touchscreen goes crazy under water. Zooms by itself and does weird stuff.
Thanks.

I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.
their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.
Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

Seems fine to me, then again I've only had my ET4G since 1/8 and I came from an Evo with a tumor (extended battery) so ANYTHING would seem thin to me.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.
So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.
Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.
Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.
Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

I bought the aqua dry bag, but haven't had to use it yet.
I am looking at getting the DryCase from drycase.com. They have a 100 feet depth rating, that's good for going diving as most everything is 65+ and higher that is worth looking at.
anyone have any reviews on that product?

the purpose behind this is normal silica gel, you can get this from most supermarket in a containner, alot cheaper than the dry bag.
I have also been looking for a waterproof case for my GS3, but not really interested in the film-bag things that prohibit long term use. I know they make some waterproof cases for the iPhone that can be used all day, every day, and I am thinking something along those lines would be perfect for our phones. I go fishing and hunting quite a bit and would love to get my hands on a case that offers some strong protection and is also waterproof.

Hi All,
I'm going on holiday soon to a sunny island and will be out at sea...
Was wondering if there's a case on the market with a see through back that would allow me to use the S3 under water? If so could you please post me a link to where I could buy one?

Ive never heard of that company "Protector F" the one from amazon ive seen several videos on people actually test it so if it were me i would go with something i trust if my phones going under water.
Easy old trick is a sandwich bag and a little silicone. I know fishermen friends who did that with the Motorola bricks back in the day. But your real issue is the capacitive touch screen. It'll probably not pick up your fingers. Ever tried to use your phone with a drop on the screen? Tends to throw it off.

Geez, $40? IMO, for that kind of price, I think it would be beneficial cost wise to use the sandwich bag gimmick as stated above but find someone with one of those airtight bag sealers to protect the device furthermore. That's pretty much what that dry case is anyway, just in a more easy to use, continual usage, professional looking wrap.

Has anybody found a waterproof case for the One yet? I'm looking for something similar to LifeProof for the iPhone or Otterbox's Armor series. It doesn't need extraordinary depth protection, just a few feet for use in the pool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not available to the public yet, unfortunately. Says that it would be added during the manufacturing process. It would be awesome if companies started using this tech!

Changed my mind about getting the phone.
Ships From the USA so you wont have to wait 2 weeks to get it...

I posted this before somewhere and I got laughed at just because I wanted to reddit in the shower. Made the Z so tempting but it's not coming out in the US so it made my One decision easier. Haha.
I just read into it a little but how does that HzO stuff work. The way it seems is it just puts a waterproof bond in every crease and crack. But that would ruin the speaker/grille as well as mess up the buttons so I'm sure that's not how it works. Anyone understand it better than I that would care to explain?

According to their website, this is not true. I was all excited there for a minute. My NS4G spent a night in a cup of water once. It still works just fine but I can't help but think I used any and all good phone karma right then and there.

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?
