[Q] Any good waterproof cases? - HTC Rezound

Not sure where to put this since it's a question about accessories, so my apologies is this is on the wrong place.
I'm wanting to get a waterproof case for my beloved Rezound. I just want to use my phone in the shower (read news, watch a movie, etc). Disposable solutions are a no go, as are zip lock bags and silicone. I'm looking for a real case. Bonus points if it's easily removed to switch back to a regular TPU case when I don't need it.

Dude you must take the longest showers! Who watches movies in the shower? Just put a TV in the bathroom!

I think we all will bet what kind of "movies" he wants to watch in the shower.

I was gonna say what con said, maybe you should use magazines?

I have one of these and it is great for the beach or on a boat. Not a snug fit case and not pretty but works and cheap.

I was thinking of buying this one or the sports version of been all around the web trying to find reviews on overboard, but haven't really found anything reputable... currently i'm using the extended battery and wouldnt want to have to switch to the stock battery to use this case... so my question is... is it possible to use the rezound with extended battery in this OB case... or at the very least the stock battery with the cruzer tpu case for some added proctection inside the OB case... any input would be EXTREMELY helpful... thanks and have a great day... also i'm glad i found this forum... i usually troll android central.. but will now start coming here as well...

I usually just ziplock it. Cheap and effective solution for those rare trips to Six Flags or on a boat. If only I had bagged my phone and camera that time I fell off of that cliff...

that's cool but I wanted to use it when i go running or cycling... that's why I wanted to asked the fella who posted before cause i'm curious how they were able to get it to turn on with the difficulties of the power button through the skin of the pouch... everyone with a rezound knows how difficult it is to press the power button sometimes...

Origami stand

Hello, I made th8s slick origami stand out of pizza paper. ITS COOL, Its cheap and its functional. Price:10$, sending with post service, that you will pay. Paying when you get it. Down are the pics, its very serious. ;D
No offense or anything, but $10? This stand is far better and its $13.

Yeah, I'm not sure how serious this post is. If you actually paid $10 to get one of those boxes shipped to you, you probably could have gotten one for free for just eating at a pizza place.
That thing is awesome, can you please post the dimensions you used so I can make sure the cuts are exact?

Actually that looked kinda nice, what did you use?
Measurement etc.
I used a dossier, a sharp scissors and duck tape for the edges.
Pictured it in my head first then I cutted one side and after that side was done I used a pencil to mark the other side so that they would be very similar.
At first I did a straight cut, i forgot about the round back of the transformer, then I had to trim it a bit to make it round.
We should sell those stuff for real. Xbs's is way better, I'm gone make one like that, I bet its far more stable. I need it until my case comes.

There are several threads on this topic already WITH PICS! you would be wise to spend a few of your precious minutes looking for the information which you seek rather than asking others to waste theirs.
Lol first time I had a busy day and tried asking nicely.

I read the OP's thread and he never asked anyone to waste their time. If someone replies it is because they want to.
BTW, XDA should also have a rule that says you can't post a reminder to use the "Search" function.
I can find* a single thread about clear tpu cases. Im really interested in a clear case so please let me know if you find anything.

I personally find it annoying when forums become muddied with the same information over an over that's all. I was not trying to be rude and if my post came off that way well then grow a little thicker skin.
And to state that you can't post a reminder to use the search function is pure stupidity, if this was never done the noobs would ruin this site.

I always laughed at people like you on xda so the last thing I'm going to do is become like you by arguing so last time I'm responding.
How am I spamming? Idk how many posts i have but its a couple hundred I'm sure, and I've been around here for awhile. Also, I had sensation and bought the amaze and am trying to sell it . I don't really see what's wrong with that, but hey that's fine cause the last thing in the world is me caring what you think.

So I used the search button on xda amaze accessories and found this thread as the only one for the words "clear" and "transparent", please allow this thread to continue without dictating what people should and should not do on a public forum. I second the notion on refraining from hand slapping for not using the search button. Close your eyes if this thread bothers you so much. I have been looking for a similar case. I'm a bit picky and I don't think I'm going to come up with what I want as I'm looking for something:
- Transparent: I want to let the OEM's design show through
- Soft
- Not Too Gummy, Shiny or Bulky (I guess with transparent, I'll have to forgo the "shine" factor)
- Cut outs for the antenna holes
So yeah, I think it's pretty tough to find something quite like this but here's what I have come up with so far and I'm still looking:
Clear Soft Rubber Phone Cover Silicone Skin Gel Case
- $5 to $7 depending on shipping
- Not quite transparent
- Looks like it will have a good grip
- Cut outs for the antenna holes
Clear Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case
- $10 shipped
- I don't know if the image is deceiving but it could be truly transparent (???)
- 2 of 3 cut outs for the antenna holes it appears
Clear Soft Hybrid Gel TPU S-LINE Case Cover
- $3 Shipped (no expedited and it will deliver after Christmas)
- S curve looks OK but 1/2 of it is exactly what I want and the other is faded white like everything else
- TPU brand so it should be good with just about all other considerations
Then there's always ZAGG and I think IPG may be ok (?) full body screen protectors
ZAGG Full Body
Ah, I think this one may be perfect. No idea who this is or what but the price at $7 + $5.99 for 4-10 shipping isn't bad. There might be a helpful coupon
also. It will probably be a bit glossy but I bet the shine will wear off a bit in time anyway. May get a few different ones and do some reviews. That is, if it's OK with some others who think this is "wasting my time" or whatever. Sorry, just think this thread went south fast and it was a decent question. I chose the Amaze White as I liked it's base look. I'll get other cases later and maybe even custom paint my own. I don't know. But if I just want to show off it's original beauty, I don't want to leave it exposed and ready for the elements to break it. I've seen one shattered from a 4 foot drop on concrete. They will break like anything else if hit right.

Sorry for the long post and again, if anyone has any other suggestions, I would like to know. There are Smoke Clear and Textured Clear skins around but I think we are just looking for a good clear one.
This is the one I purchased, the only issue I have with it is that there is a cutout for the cover release button. It's matte so it's not such a fingerprint magnet, and somewhat transparent so you can still see what phone lurks beneath. Also it adds very little bulk, which to me is important as I want some protection from drops as well as general scratch protection.

5 posts later and you throw in something helpful and you actually shared an interest with the op and purchased something similar. You could have saved yourself headaches and made this thread a lot shorter if this was post #2.
OK sorry, that aside, thank you for the reminder of an item I was closely looking at as well. It seems to take care of the "gloss" factor. There is a comment on that site that says that the white will look more like grey with this and they didn't care for the blend but whatever. It's a TPU. I think I'm going to roll the dice on my last link above however, only I found that the shipping is like $5.99 for 4-10 day delivery so that's kinda a bummer. Think it's flat so I'll see if there's anything else I want from that site.
If you don't mind zPack, and if I haven't offended you too much, could you post pics (for others to review) when you get it and I'll do the same with whatever I decide on. lol

I got this case as well. my only issue is that the volume rocker does not have a cutout, so the buttons needed to be pressed really hard. i just cut along the outline for the volume buttons in the case, now is better.

FYI, I'm pretty thick skinned so no offense taken, would not have posted otherwise.
However while I may have come off a little short, it was not my intention to offend anyone and I stand by the context of my original reply.
I found my case through one of the already open discussions about cases before I responded to the OP.
The rules outlined in the youtube video should be followed by all, not just some. This will keep the sub forums much cleaner and useful for all.
Pics Added.
Nice picks. Thanks! I think its as close to a decent soft case thats "somewhat" transparent that we are going to have that is obtainable at the moment. I was thinking of the d3o bumper band as it pretty much secures the phone from most impacts and in tandem with like some zagg invisishields or whatever, should be a decent full body transparent solution but Im curious as to how "fat" its going to make the edge? O well can't get eveything perfect. The phone should be built completely waterproof and impactproof without any design, tech, or price degredation. Lol, I also want the camera to have xray clothing capabilities and produce enough solar power to not only charge the 30K mah built in battery but have enough power output to operate the phone and charge other devices on average ambient lighting. Can it also link to my cerebral cortex and teach me Kung Fu? Lol

Zenus Vintage Leather Wallet Case

I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:
http://zenuscaseusa.com/
Sold on ebay for $59.99
That's nice.. I'd use it as a wallet!! Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I also picked one up. I'm a little bit scared of the magnet messing up the screen, but hopefully the covers thickness helps a bit
As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

I asked a seller on eBay about this and he assured me that it would fit. I get the case today, so I'll let you know once i test a phone
No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!

Waterproof case for the note 3

Looks pretty good for $16... I ordered one to give it a shot. Hopefully the picture of the Galaxy S IV is accurate for the note 3 as it looks like the little rubber pads could be cut down to allow my slightly bigger wireless charging back cover to fit, if not oh well thats easy enough to change out.
Even the $30 knock-off lifeproofs for iphones suffered high leakage rates. There is one issue with the sealing band, and your $700 device is SOL. I wouldnt trust it at all.
I am curious to see your results. I really want a solid Water proof case if possible. Wish you luck and hope it works!
If this actually works well then that would be cool but I personally wouldn't want to be the one to test it out lol. I just refrain from taking my device anywhere near water. If it does manage to keep your device from getting wet then that is a $15 well spent.
Best bang for the buck waterproof case you can get:
You can even get boxes of 50 or more for just a few bucks!

I could not agree more. A waterproof case is nice to have, but how often are you swimming with your phone? The most moisture it will get is sweat or rain. I am in the Army, in Hawaii. We are outside all day doing stupid stuff in the rain. Rains all the time. A prepared ziplock is just as good
There is a good reason we don't take our phones swimming. They are not waterproof.
if they were. WE WOULD take them swimming. Baggies are great for protecting your phone from moisture while its in your pocket or your back pack. it sucks for shooting video through

What I'm really interested in about this case is the headphone jack.
For me it doesn't need to be completely waterproof as listen to music while I Mtn Bike or trail run with it in a jersey pocket...
I have always used a Dry Case with my other phones
http://www.drycase.com/
This works great to keep condensation out of it as you can suck the air out, however the Note 3 is just a little bit too big for it.
So, while it may not be something you are interested in, this is almost exactly what I'm looking for, 100% guaranteed waterproof would be nice, but not necessary for me.

I wish they made a waterproof for N3, honestly. The best part about work when I had a failphone 5 with a LP case was turning screen up, open notes write "HELP ME IM DROWNING!" and stick phone in a full pitcher of water only to have everyone freakout whenever they saw it.
I dont care if its big, Its fun to traumatize people that way.

Yeah close to the dry case, however no headphone port or one way air valve to prevent condensation... I have had lots of condensation form in ziplocks despite my best efforts to remove all the air.
A good solution for many no doubt.

I wouldn't trust this bag either. I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus when I went to Maui this year and it leaked.
Has anyone got the Love Mei water proof case for the Note 3?
(Sorry for no link, still under 10 posts. You can find it by searching "love mei note 3 powerful" in Google, it's the first link)
I've seen it for roughly half the listed price on ebay and case fanatic but yet to find anyone who's actually tried it yet.
I have ordered but it has not arrived figure another 1-2 weeks

Here's a lifeproof style case for the note 3 that I've just ordered. For only $15 it's worth a try, come on lifeproof aka Otterbox if they can do it so can you. Look out for my review when I receive it

Got a badly translated message from the seller about a warehouse issue, they refunded my order and took down the listing. I asked if they had any timeline for restock, or knew of any other sellers, or more information about the item and they didn't, so I'm suspecting that because the picture showed Galaxy S4 that they maybe have not produced a Note 3 variant yet.
I got my case. I am impressed. Waterproof? yeah not me buddy I won't be testing that with my baby inside.
water resistant? a very optimistic yes. I am really impressed with it so far. impressed enough that I will be doing a long term review and actually use the case for a while and see how it goes.
I have 3 videos uploading now. will post links once they are uploaded (2 are in 4k so they are freaking huge) I did the 3rd vid in 1080p since I liked the case enough I wanted to do it with the real phone in the case instead of the dummy stand in
Videos are online. 3rd video is "processing" should not be too long before its done

I hope everything worked out well for you and your Note 3...lol you've either got 1.) TONS of faith in this untested case, 2.) A large "pair" of ***** or 3.) More money than you know what to do with! lol if it's the 3rd, you can send some my way!
Oh. trust me. this case will NEVER intentionally see water with my baby inside it. no way. waterproof? not a chance. water resistant? probably.
I will test the water resistance with the dummy phone.
My balls are no where near big enough to trust my phone to it in any serious water. no freaking way
I don't need to waterproof my phone, just something I can use to play Ingress when it's raining (I'm in Vancouver, so it rains quite a bit here). I may just get one of the bag type setups (or use a zip lock bag)
yep. bag it and use a bluetooth controller is your best solution for that.
4g still works but the signal is degraded inside the case. I assume all signals are degraded to a point.

Looking for a shoulder pouch/bag

1st world country problems I cannot seem to find a 'small' shoulder bag for my Note 3?
I cant post a link but a search for Mercurymall®Soft Pu Leather mobile phone pouch with neck strap will give an idea of what i'm looking for.
Something like this, unfortunately the size on this is too small for the beast.
Anybody have any recommendations.
Have you considered looking in hiking/camping/tourism shops for a Passport Pouch? Probably won't find any made for the phone itself, but you might find a passport pouch that will fit. That's what I did, anyway.

I found one of these at a swap meet and lol'd because the guy selling them was wearing one with his note2 in it.
Don't eat me for lol'ing... American men don't wear purses or over the shoulder wallets.
Moral of the story is go to the swap meet or bargain center you'll probably find it.
Looks like a great way to have someone snatch a 700 dollar device from around one's neck.
Just my stance!

That's a brilliant idea, it's sure has given me loads more options.
I was starting to get curious as to how other ladies carried their larger phones, I mean we don't always carry a handbag and don't have the large pockets guys tend to have on clothing.

Hmm, not sure about that. I wouldn't want to chance my luck but a theft of that kind is so rare here in Scotland.
Following your line of thinking thou I wouldn't even have my mobile out to take a photo, it would be too risky.

That is true... I guess the only concern i would truly have is your swinging around a $700 device on a small cord, rope or chain. That screams break me. Pockets are not safe anymore. Skinny jeans break phones and other things egg related.

No need to crawl in to a ball... thats what they make a 45 for. On a serious note... ppl jack phones directly out of others pockets by snatching or cutting the bottom of a pocket... YES... how dangerous is that? I know someone who lost his iphone that way in a club.
My suggestion is and will always be a hoster w/ mag clip. IDK ... get what ever works for you. Secure it how ever you can.

I can assure you that phone theft is a trending crime here in the states.
And your example wasn't even in the path of my line of thinking. There's a huge difference in having your phone in your hand and having it swinging by an easily broken string around your neck.
You're fortunate that Scotland has such a low instance of Robbery. I just pulled it up and you guys had an 18% drop from the 2011-12 to the 2012-13 years. WOW!

I never carry a handbag. I simply extended my jeans pockets(both) by means of a sewing machine
I bought a passport pouch because those are waterproof, so it has an extra layer of protection in my pocket. Waterfalls and smartphones don't mix well, I've discovered. (My poor HD2 )
It doesn't do wonders for your figure to carry your phone in a large pocket on your hip, but nobody can nick your phone without considerable effort (you'll notice it... ). And I can now fit my wallet in the other pocket. And it leaves your hands free, and you never have to fear hitting something with it. Efficiency over style
