Waterproof carrying case/bag? - Nexus 6 Accessories

Had an "iClever Universal Waterproof Case Bag" for years but the N6 is too large
Anyone have recommendations? Basically looking for something to put this in while kayaking or at water-parks.

Proporta Leather case

Bought one of these cases recently and I'm very happy with it.
Before you start shouting that you can't use it as a stand, I know that.
I was just looking for a slim carry protective case and this met the requirements exactly (it's only for the TF, not the dock).
The only complaint I'd have is that its a bit pricey...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069WV5ES/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
$45 bloody dollars.
Whats the point of the zipper if its open on the top anyways? (from what it looks like in the pictures)
It's to make it easier putting in and removing the transformer. If it didn't have the zip then it would be very difficult as it's a tight fit...
the zipper doesnt scratch the tablet?
No, there's a strip of material underneath the zipper on each side...

Otterbox Defender / Griffin Survivor Style Case??

I always use an Otterbox or Griffin heavy duty case for my electronics. I was wondering if there was such a thing our tablet? I also have a keyboard dock and don't want to have to remove the case to use it! Even better would be one that also protects the dock! Any suggestions or other brands?
Thanks!
Otterbox never made cases for Asus. But you could do a search for Gumdrop on Google. This won't protect your dock however.
I think however that you will have a very very hard time to find a case that is sturdy, splash-water and dust proof that will protect your tablet AND dock.
Yea
I really just want a case like the gumdrop but at least have the ability to dock the tablet without ripping off the 3 layers . I am thinking about making a modded case of sorts. Ill keep looking for now and post what I find. Thanks for the tip.

Bobjgear Rugged Case

I've been looking at the Bobjgear Rugged case for the TF201 I just repaired. Looks really nice, similar to the Gumdrop case but vastly cheaper.. Has anyone used this case yet? I've contacted them to order one for myself, from the reviews I gather the case is excellent, provides great shock protection when dropped, and makes it feel beefy so you're not feeling like you're holding a piece of glass.
http://bobjgear.com/
Here's a link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transfo...0B04/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Looks rugged as hell.
I picked up the Poetic Leather Keyboard Portfolio case from Amazon several months ago after replacing my LCD / digitizer. While not quite as ruggedly designed as the Bobjgear, it's sufficient to offer significant protection over having nothing at all and my Prime/Dock lives in my backpack when not being used (read: much potential for shock damage).
The Poetic case claims to be leather -- it seems to me to be more like sprayed-on vinyl. It cost less than $18usd.
I particularly like that the portfolio case comes apart into two pieces. If you want to disconnect your keyboard and take just the tab, this portfolio will do that. The part that connects the keyboard snaps off. You're left with a fold-over portfolio that's adequate.
Got my case, have my tablet screen fixed for the millionth time (cheap piece of easily breakable crap, what a horrid design).
Anyways, the case is NICE. I don't feel like I'm carrying a sheet of glass around now, it's easy and nice to hold, fixes VERY well and pads so nicely against bumps it's unbelievable.
Definitely a solid value.

[Q] Case recommendations ?

I normally get cases like the two layer Otterbox with a belt clip. I always keep my cellphone on my belt. Is there something similar for the HAM2? I haven't purchased the phone yet. What case is convenient and secure, without breaking the budget? Thanks
Check out the assessories thread here.
The most 'otterboxlike' case so far is the Trident Cyclops case. No belt loop in it but you could find a belt loop case and use that without removing the Cyclops for maximum protection.
Case for belt
Not sure where you live, but I found a case at a local swap meet in Long Beach for $8.
Makes a nice extra pocket.
Looking at one of those Cyclops rugged cases (this is as expensive as Otterbox ).
What I'd like to do is find a bicycle mount for it, no luck on Amazon thus far. There are a couple "universal" mounts but don't want plastic as it'll just become brittle and break (due Canadian weather).

This is where I got my case, I think free shipping to Canada made it cheaper than other vendors, but this was in the summer before the dollar was completely in the ****ter.

Got a universal dash/windshield mount for it too from accessory geeks, probably have a bike mount that'll suit your needs, they have a huge selection.
Thanks! It looks like they sell a few mounts, also they sell through Amazon so don't have to order direct (and have yet another account online to manage). They have a metal bike/bicycle tripod bracket but it's quite pricey for a piece of metal. The only thing that really worries me is that the HAM is in an odd size category so either the mount will be too big or too small. Found one mount that may work, but say "may work" lightly.
Perhaps what I could do is just eat the cost of that tripod mount and have a friend machine a proper mount for me to slot-in
Instead of creating a new thread, I thought I would ask within here. Please let me know if I should just open a new thread.
I am looking for two different cases. One with the thinnest blueprint possible, but a case that will protect the face with a lip wrap around [glass] and body from falls. I was thinking this one.

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Bracket-Cover-Huawei/dp/B00QXKHWK2/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
The second case I was looking at that is kind of more of an after thought, a case that is part wallet, part case. Once again, from the same provide. However, I am afraid the corners of the phone won't be protect if it falls. This case doesn't look at that great either. Any recommendations?

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Bracket-Cover-Huawei/dp/B00QXKHWK2/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
I currently have this case on the way, but it's taking forever and I don't think it will protect it from falls specially if it lands on the corners.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGVCL96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My best case ever with a nice lip action [so the phone's glass never touched any surfaces] was for my previous phone . The material saved it from many, many falls.

They all look about the same. Cheap cases did a test and they are effective as nothing. but if you want an alternative check out http://sugru.com/
I have a black leather flip case like the red leather one you posted. I love it. I have only used hard, extremely protective cases in the past , but there's not much in that category for this phone. I've always used a belt loop case too so I don't try and stuff my phone in to a pants or shirt pocket. I've had a short drop to a wood floor in this case and the phone was fine. I can't say what would happen in a high fall to a hard surface like concrete.

Do you have a link to the case? Is it a wallet your of case?
How high is a high fall to you? 6 feet? Was your short fall 3 feet high?

Caseless holster options?

Has anyone come across a holster/belt clip that doesn't require a case? I got one from Amazon, but the case is so giant, that without it the DT2 basically falls out of the clip.
I know Seidio made one for old Turbo, hopefully they release one for this one also eventually, but for now hoping for something sooner.

I am using the holster from my Turbo 1 Dilex Pro case. The naked Turbo 2 fits great in this holster.
Thanks for the response! It's snug in the T1 Dilex? No wobble? I tried some other T1 cases and it wouldn't even fit, and the T2 clips I found so far only work with giant heavy-duty protection cases.
I ended up using this one daily for now, with very good results, the Bomea Premium Leather Case for the Turbo, found it on Amzn. I actually find that since it's larger, being horizontal makes it feel less bulky on the side. But it's not great with a wider jeans belt, only with dress belts.

Yes Its snug in the T1 Dilex holster. No wobble at all. I'm happy with it. Even if they came out with a holster for the "naked" phone I wouldn't get one. This works fine for me and since I already had it there is no point for me to spend anymore money.
I actually used the Blackberry Priv leather holster. It's fits wonderfully as they are comparable in size. Here are the measurements in mm: Priv: 147x77.2x9.4, Droid Turbo 2: 149.9x78x9.2
