I see lots of threads in here talking about the otterbox cases, but it doesn't look like they are waterproof/resistant. Does anyone know of a case that could be used for snowboarding? Doesn't have to be waterproof but provide some moisture protection and some crush protection.
Thanks
I use my seidio rugged case when i snowboard and keep it in my pants pocket, everything's fine...just don't fall. Alternatively, keeping it in the lower leg pockets would keep it out of danger even if you do happen to fall.
I use an otterbox commuter for daily abuse and while it's by no means meant to be water proof, the tight fitting rubber flaps do keep the Evos' various ports protected from light moisture.
Whenever I'm working someplace where I know I'll be using my phone in very wet conditions I'll just throw it in a ziploc snack sized baggie which it fits perfectly in. Cheap and effective protection without adding any extra bulk and it doesn't impair the touchscreen or speaker any.
I'm sure an Otterbox defender would provide superior impact resistance and do a pretty good job of keeping it dry if you've got the cash for it.
Sounds like you need the Ballistic case. Of course, they aren't available yet.

I thought about a baggie, but I'm using it mainly for music, so I need to get a cable out for that, and still have decent moisture protection.

BB has a case and headphones that are waterproof. People use them to swim with. There is an armband that you put the phone in and I'm not sure how the rest works, but it does seem to work well for the people using it.

I used a siedio active limited case in my chest pocket on a recent Colorado snowboarding trip. It was my first time out so I fell A LOT. Took it out a few times to use it, fell every way you could imagine, all was fine.
I dont think you need a crazy tough case. The little bit of water that might reach it (from your hands or gloves) wouldnt hurt it anyway. Assuming you have decent gear that isnt going to be wet.
I went boarding last weekend with my EVO. My Burton jacket has an inner pocket that fits the phone and also comes with a headphone jack that I connected to. Then I just used my old palm pre headset connected to the jacket's audio output and used the headset button to control mixzing. Everything worked great. There are plenty of jackets with "ipod input/controls" that you can look into.
I have a snowboarding pants and jacket (matching set) for anyone who is interested. I bought this last winter from REI. The website stated that I order 1 size bigger than what I would normally wear.....but it's just way too big on me.
It's very warm and is water and wind proof. I wore a t-shirt under the snowsuit in 10 degree weather and was very toasty. I figure there aren't too many snowboarders on this forum but I know there are quite a few ice fisherman.
I went to Copper Mountain a few weeks ago and boarded. No case on the phone. I just put it in the media pocket on my DC coat and it worked fine. Fell a few times but everytime I brought my phone out it was perfectly dry. Also, you usually protect your ribs and stuff when you fall so inner jacket pockets work good for phones and iPods and such.
I tried after market cases and they just broke when trying to take them off my phone. So yesterday I went to T-Mobile store and bought the Body Glove hard case for my Vibrant. What a fantastic case. It is a 2 piece case and has the chrome frame which keeps the phone looking sexy. The case is pricey at $29.99 but worth every penny. And yes you can find this case cheaper on Amazon and such. I just hate waiting for things.
i was also thinking of buying this but 29 for case?? dam.
It is a nice looking case, but my friend has one and says its pretty fragile. It has fallen apart when he's dropped it. Id say there's better cases for that price.

Must not be the same case then. This thing is so incredibly durable and it is actually hard to take the case apart after it is snapped on.

Same case man, Ive seen it plenty of times and was considering it when I first got my Vibrant. I hope that yours wouldnt break (not being sarcastic, wouldnt wish it on anybody), Im just sharing someones experience with it.
too bad you missed my post, i am giving it away for free already have a person interested

Well that sucks. Wonder if he just got a bad one? I have to use a flat head screwdriver just to take this case apart lol. As far as the price goes, $30 is high but the case will really keep your phone from breaking.
I just paid 12 shipped. Shop around. I am on my second one. I won't use anything but this case. My phone fell out of my hands and the case cracked but the phone didn't have a scratch on it.

I also use this case religiously, even right now. Yes, i need to use either a flashed screw drive or a key to pry it open, but it's a sad day on merryville. just the other day brushing my teeth, my phone slipped from my hand from a standing position and landed on a carpeted floor. It landed in such a way that it just poped off (the plastic chrome front) and i now have a hair line scratch on the lower left of my screen. :-(
I babied my vibrant, and to have this happened saddens me!
Some how in the momentum of it popping off, scratched my screen. This is why i paided $30 so this wouldn't happen. Should i call the company?

Man that sucks! I would call and complain. If that happens to me I will go straight to the T-Mobile store where I purchased the case and complain.
These are the exact issues I was referring to. It seems tight, but it wont hold up under a fall, and when it does pop open, you're phone could easily fall out or get scratched by the case itself.
I own this case, got it shortly after seeing it in the Tmobile store. I got it off ebay not sure what i paid for it exactly. I've dropped my phone 2 or 3 times since i've owned this case and (knock on wood) each time, the case has stayed together. My heart stopped each time as i watched my phone bounce off concrete and tile but the case has never failed me. The kicker for me was i wanted a phone i could attach to my belt as i've become addicted to havin my phone on my belt and i really hate the feel of alot of stuff in my pocket. On the bonus you get a replaceable piece to flip out if you dont want the belt clip portion and rather a smooth pocket case.
As for my only problems with the case id say first and foremost is its rather bulky. It makes the phone feel really protected but almost feels like twice the phone in your hand with the case on. That and as i've dropped my phone i've noticed the chrome is starting to peel on the cases front.
As a tip i've always wondered what the cutout on the right side towards the bottom was for. All the other cutouts go to something... i.e. power buttons/volume buttons/3.5 headphone jacks.... but that cutout goes to nothing!? Well i started shoving stuff in it and found a coin fit perfectly and could get the case off easily with a little twist.
you dont know what your talking about i bought the vibrant in november and i bought that case + a screen protector that case is perfect for the phone your friend is just rough on things... ive dropped the phone from like 5 feet like 30 times still fine
I bought this case offline for 12.99 and free shipping. The flimsy chrome cover (piece 2 of 2) wont clip on in one place. Come that way, factory. Hopefully T-Mobile will trade me out in the store since the box is T-mobile branded.

I just saw that on ebay. I'm thinking about picking that one up. Doe's not look bad for 20 bucks.
looks pretty good to me. something like the ones seidio makes.
I got one of these and it is the exact same case sprint sells.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
except this clips over the case. sprint clips over the phone.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one. We'll see in about a week...
I had originally purchased the carbon fiber case with the built-in kick stand from accessorygenie on eBay (I liked it when I tried it at my local Sprint store, but it was way overpriced), but what I received in the mail today was the case with the Technocel holster and the extra micro-USB cable (as described in the OP) due to a "glitch in the system." They are sending me the actual carbon fiber case free of charge and they didn't require me to send back this holster case to them.
Is there anyone here that would be interested in purchasing this Technocel holster case + micro-USB cable from me for half of what it's going for on eBay? I've uploaded four pictures of the actual product and USB cable on my bed. I didn't realize this before, but the actual case is comprise of two parts: the phone case that encases the Epic 4G Touch, and the part with the clip attached to the holster (which, of course, is bigger than the case itself in order to actually hold the phone and case in place). The very last sample picture I've uploaded features a close-up of the clip and the Technocel logo that is on it. The package is still unopened, but has a small dent in the lower left hand corner of the plastic, presumably from the shipping.
I'm willing to part with this for around $10-12 if anyone is interested in biting. PM me for more details or additional questions.
And just in case you were wondering where it would be mailed from, I live in Norman, OK. I was stuck on a Palm Pre on its last legs for the entire two-year duration on was on contract, and I'm so, so, soooooo happy to have finally pulled the trigger to get a new smartphone like the E4T. It's phenomenal.
EDIT: I just realized I submitted this post before I had a chance to let my pictures finish uploading. =(
Bought the case/holster last week it arrived last friday. Quality isnt the greatest. Case outside the phone doesnt snap around the phone as tight as i would like. Small drop and it comes apart. Holster needs a stronger spring on the clip that hold the phone in place. Wore it to work today for the first time and it came right out of the clip twice when I barely even touched the thing. Should have seen my face when a lady say "excuse me, is this yours" and walks up holding pieces in her hand :O . Im just gonna rock it with a tpu in my pocket until seidio or otterbox releases a case/holster combo.
That blows. I order the case on sunday. It should be here this weekend. I may a well put it right in the trash.

Got my case today. I've been using it for a couple hours. Nothing like the case/ hoster I had for my evo 4g. But doing the job for right now.
If I had to choose again. I would pay the extra ten at the sprint store to get a my reliable case.

i got the one sprint sells, and its not that bad at all. it fits super snug against the phone, only gripe is that it's not as easy to put into the holster like most holsters....takes a lil getting used too
Been using this case/holster today. (directly from the ebay link)
The case fits fairly snug around the phone, though the case itself dosen't seem to click together 100% (more like 99%, small gaps). It fits into the holster quite well. I do IT work in a factory/office environment, so I do a lot of walking around, crouching, laying on the ground, etc. The case hasn't once popped out of the holster on it's own. The holster seems to translate vibration from the phone fairly well so you can tell when your phone is going off. It's also nice that the holster keeps the headphone port accessible.
I have dropped the phone once while in the case. From about 3 feet onto concrete. It popped right out of the case, and while that might seem bad, I think it's more by-design, since it disperses some of the energy from the fall by the case absorbing it and coming apart. The case snapped right back on, no problem, and the phone is fine.
Overall, I like it well enough to keep it for awhile, until a more premium case/holster combo comes out. $20 seems a little steep for it, $12 - $15 would be a bit more fair considering the quality; though it was free shipping, so that kind of evens it out.
does anyone elses oem charger fit snugly but still wiggles and seems loose? i done have anyone elses to compare to locally
Mine is solid and tight. I would take it back and exchange for a better build. If you purchased on a 2yr contract, you're going to want that charger port in top shape.
yeah got mine on a two year deal , bought it from a sprint imobile stand in the mall since the corp store had none, corp should still exchange it right

It's the cord, not the port. The plastic goes to far up the plug itself and doesn't allow it to seat fully in the port. At least in my case it was. I was going to return the cord but too much of a hassle... I ended up cutting back some of the plastic with an xacto knife so that more of the plug stuck out and it fits nice and snug now I can take pics if you want. Not the straightest cut job, but it works

Sorry I don't have before pics but as you can see I cut it back to the end of the plug itself to where the metal cage thing behind it starts. This way enough sticks out for it to stay in there I started with as little as I could then cut back to where it is now. Need a very sharp knife, this stuff is tough. I used xacto blade but a very sharp razor may do the trick. Hope this helps! Sorry for duplicate pics

in case you haven't, let me share my experience:
as with most of us, i've done my best to handle my new phone with care, especially since i was one of the many that preordered the same weekend preorders were opened up. i have had the phone since launch day, i have a variety of cases for it, but not the most optimal case of course. (i'm a woman, it's hard to find fashionable protection.) i learned early on with the Note 2 and the Note 3 that the digitizers can be broken if the phone is dropped at just the right angle, so i thankfully have everything already backed up with Verizon Cloud, (call logs) SMS Backup/Restore, (texts/MMS) Helium, (game data) and Google+ (photos-- on low resolution, storage is unlimited.) today while digging in my purse, my phone fell out from about 3 feet up. landed face down on the hard tile of the womens' restroom. didn't think anything of it, because it was such a low height, just picked my phone up, plopped it back in my purse, finished shopping. (like a woman.)
when i went to check the time, i noticed the phone didn't respond. instantly i thought, "maybe i just need to power it back on, since it fell." held the power button down, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, nothing. did a battery pull, left it out for about 5 minutes, replaced. nothing.
now, had i not had everything already backed up, i might have had a minor melt down, but i still had my S5 on me (literally, it was in my purse) swapped the SIM, and then cried on the inside. i put the phone on my car charger (generic model) and there was still no response, so i thought about if i should have my computer friend fix it or if I should go ahead and try my luck with insurance, with it being less than 30 days i hoped that maybe something warranty wise would still apply.
got home, put the phone on the charger. not that it needed it, but figured, nothing else could be done. did a few things around the house, then came back about 15 minutes later and saw that the screen had lit up and the phone was charging. lo and behold, i hit the power button, and it booted back up. insert praise dance here.
maybe Samsung finally did learn their lesson with the digitizers being so easily broken in the Note series. one thing that sold me on the Note 4 was the drop tests that were performed, which gave me (some) belief that i wouldn't have to deal with this problem. (link here for the drop test: http://youtu.be/Jj3Jy5ufhaY)
but in case anyone was wondering, it looks like it will survive a drop or two. and i have since thrown my Spigen case on there cause a chick will take no further chances going forward. (should, God forbid, the worst happen, i will update this post.)
No I personally hadn't dropped my phone yet, and hopefully I never will. I generally don't use protective cases on my phones, but I think I will invest in one once I can find a good aftermarket case that is made for the Verizon variant. Definitely don't want any scratches on this beauty
yeah, i've got one small unnoticeable knick in the metal edge up by the IR blaster. the initial case i chose left the top and bottom edge of the phone exposed (easier to handle) but i've definitely learned my lesson.
I beat the hell out of my note 2 for two years without a case or screen protector. Screen has one deep scratch about half an inch long and the corner chrome plastic is kinda mangled but I never cracked or broke the screen. Running my note 4 the same way.

I think that it's a matter of luck when you drop a phone. I've dropped two.
First one was a Sprint Epic Touch (galaxy s2, 4.5" version), it fell out of my jacket inside pockets right onto a tile floor. It made an spectacular sound, bounced a few times, and lost a back plate and a battery. Nothing else was even remotely damaged.
The second one was me bending trying to get some air in my car's tires, and phone slipped out of my jacket pocket (again). It landed hardly on pavement, but suffered only a minor scratch on the edge.
I wasn't even worried at the time - Galaxy S3 always felt like it was built like a tank, unlike S4 which I also owned.
This new Note4 feels durable in the hand, but the sheer size of the screen screams "fragile." That's "Fra-gee-lee" for uninitiated.
Nothing yet, and I am going naked, Neo Hybrid is reasonably thin, but it feels so much better without a case.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon unlimited!
I love the feel of the n4 without a case but I learned my lesson of going case less when I dropped my note 3 from a very low height and got a surface Crack that spread over the next few days. I take it out the case at night when I'm in but when I'm out this baby is covered with a screen this large it will probably shatter pretty easy. To each his own though
YES! Before the DE came out, I was stripping insulation off a 12 gauge wire........
with my White Note 4 in my shirt pocket. When the insulation suddenly gave with a snap. The Note 4 jumped up out of my shirt pocket about 5 foot high and landed on the left front bottom corner on concrete then flipped over on it's glass screen face down. I was afraid to pick it up. As far as I can tell not a scratch on the screen but the Aluminum has a dent where it meets the glass. That slight gap may have saved the screen.
I am coming from the Note 2 and I had all my work shirts modified to fit the Note 2 snug. After the accident I have added a Home made Elastic Strap on top to hold the phone in place. I have not been using any case or screen protector because they slow me down and time is money. I got to be quick on the draw.
not yet... although i had a close call in the gym today with a 100lb dumbbell... i am not sure how long this is relationship is gonna work out...

Man I have the same case it's awesome .yea I have big hands too lol. Only thing is I ripped the built in screen protector out and replaced it with a normal stick on one. The built in one was horrible and made a loud click every time i tapped it. I have a cheap tempered glass one coming Monday hopefully it fits in the defender.
You people that go caseless are imho tempting fate and then are upset when your $800 phone shatters. I fix people's phones at cost that I know, most of which are iphones. At least those screens are fairly cheap and easy to replace. An Iphone 5S screen is $70 for oem at the local store. I asked about how many galaxy's they repair and the answer was very few. Why I asked, they don't break as easy??? No was the reply, the amoled screen is super expensive. A quick check on ebay......Minimum $170 for a Note 3 screen.
For about $20 you can get a simple thin rubber type case and tempered glass screen protector. You get both drop protection, thin profile, and screen protection. Seems like a no brainer, but if you have the money to replace such and expensive device I guess it's not an issue lol.
when i went to local verizon store to pick up my note 4, the rep who helped me dropped the phone 3 feets height to the table we were on while unboxing it!!! needless to say, i was unhappy and relieved that no dent or scratch found. that store was the only store that had white note 4 in stock and i wanted to beat the deadline to trade in my old phone for $200, so i still took it.
I droppped mine at the gas station. No damage suffered despite taking a perfect hit in the middle of the screen on the corner of a curb. I had a spigen tough armor case on it to lessen the blow to the edges of the phone once it bounced around on the ground and prevented any chips im sure, but the screen held up great and didn't receive the slightest bit of damage.
edit: this is the case i have. perfect amount of protection for me (SGP11139)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAWQU14/
I got mine the Thursday they were released. I was using the Spigen Tough Armor case and had the phone in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I squatted down to look in a delivery box and the phone fell out from maybe a foot high - but it landed exactly face down. The s-pen still worked, but it would not respond to my fingers at all.
Fortunately I was able to take it back to Best Buy and they just swapped it for a new replacement. I'm using an Otterbox Defender now until Seidio makes an Active or Dilex case since the Defender adds a good 1/2" or more to the width of the device and has no kickstand despite costing $70 bucks.

The convert Is in development was my favorite note 2 case they never made it for the n3 though. I have a tough armor it's going back the kickstand is a joke, worst I have used on a supposedly high quality case. FYI I have the defender you know the holster can be locked and used as a stand right? ..

Thanks but I stopped carrying my phones on my belt a few years ago so the belt clip just sits in a drawer. I had Otterboxes and others and kept knocking them off my belt and causing them to fall. The final straw was when one fell in a gravel parking lot the same day I bought it and it chipped the screen through the protector. You'd think though for $70 that they'd include a nice metal kickstand on the actual case like Seidio does.
Yeah, I agree that kickstand was a complete joke. Everything else on that Spigen case felt inferior to any other case I've ever used too, but that kickstand was some awfully weak sauce.
Aw that sucks about the belt clip thing you got me worried I mainly use mine at the gym when I don't want the phone annoyingly bouncing in my pocket. I just can't believe spigen would release something so flimsy and half assed. I caught it on sale for 11 bucks and I still felt let down lol. Honestly the Verizon shell holster combo has the best kickstand in my opinion. Just wished it covered the top and bottom of the phone.
