Underwater/waterproof casing for Galaxy Note?

Hi all,
I've been looking around but I've not found any waterproof/underwater case/pouch thingy that goes with the Galaxy N7000?
I would like to bring along my N7000 for a holiday with snorkeling & water sports, and planning to capture some underwater video/image.
Seen something like that for Samsung Galaxy S2...but for our Galaxy Note?
Anyone using one? Any recommendation from fellow XDA-ian?
*btw, I'm from Malaysia & I know there are some on Ebay but they don't post to Malaysia. Not sure why thou.
Thanks & regards,
SiLvErBoLd17

Will be a tight fit, Note is 2.5mm taller than the maximum size.

I'm searching for the same case but nothing ... Have you good links on ebay or anywhere ?

Can't say that I have dive tested them but I rely on them to keep my note dry when I run and work out in the tropical heat of Houston.

I recently emailed Aquapac about the Note and they advised me which waterproof pouch to get.
Got the Small Whanganui Case (348) and the Note fits perfectly inside. You can still use the phone and touchscreen, though wet fingers do make it difficult sometimes.

at&t wireless online store sells it. if u or know some ppl with cooperate discount u can get around 35% off the listed price. a battery goes for 20 and a stylus with the pen shape holder is about 30 iirc

I don't know about cheap, but everywhere I've seen one for the GNote it's been ~$30. I'd just get one of those from Amazon if you need one.

I want to buy one with gray button like at some i9220, but 20$-30$ is too much. Is therer any <10$ prices?

Nope. the chepest seem to be on eBay for about £18 ($25). I thought I'd lost mine the other day, but I'd left it on my desk at work. Pheww.
Boooooooo at Samsung for not throwing a spare in the box!!!

Yeah.... why is there no 3rd party s-pen. I was hoping to find other colors, material...Munro full aluminium..... but none

almost stock white gnex

got the white housing for the gnex and decide to buy the white matte screen protector
http://www.chinagadgetland.com/middle-cover-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-white-p-10006362.html
housing from chinabudgetland.com cost $29.50. Everything was great and was easy to install. Only con is that it doesn't come with white button. But i manage to get a huge discount from the owner and ended up paying only $17.50 for the housing and shipping with tracking number. Came in every nice packing and lots of bubble wrap.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Google-Samsu...s=63&clkid=1418648887061820089#ht_6624wt_1052
the Gnex color screen protector cost $8.88 with free shipping took only 8 day to ship from south korea. Seller sold 35 so i taught it was a trusted seller. Everything was great except the fact that it abit smaller that the screen. But it look pretty nice.

lolwut? of course Jelly Bean has LED notification, I'm using it.
If only there was a way of making sure that the LED shines through the screen protector I'd buy it.

Mine jb doesn't have notification light. I got the paid lightflow app and it doesn't turn on when there a notification. Just holepunch it

They sell them for the Nexus? Link ? I'm tempted at the thought of an all white phone.

Yeah I figured he was just posting without knowing for sure. I dont think they will ever make a white digitizer as the next model is just around the corner and since its so difficult to replace just the digitizer without ruining the lcd.

The amoled is fused to the glass so its impossible to replace the glass without also replacing the amoled, which is why there are no third party digitizers.
No I really wish they made a white digitizer. I would make a full white gnex if they did.
Also, a white digitizer for the dinc would be nice

Thanks for the pics but I dont think there ever will be a white digitizer. The market is so small for that plus it would have to come with a very expensive lcd screen that just isnt cost feasable. I cant find any surveys but a $250 digitizer is just crazy when a brand new phone costs 350+tax, with the costs surely to drop as time passes. Stickers are our only hope until Fantom decides to release a white glass screen protector which I dont think is very likely. Istyles and skinit are 2 other websites that sell custom vinyl stickers and attached a couple of pics that I found from other threads. A black front on top of an all white body isnt too bad though and have thought about ordering vinyl stickers but am sure I will just rip them off after a day or two of having it on.

AT&T Galaxy S3 LCD/Digitizer Combo (White)

I'm in need of an AT&T S3 LCD/Digitizer combo (White) but these things are so dang expensive!... like $300!
Does anyone have any or know of a place to get this part for cheap?
And yes, I'm looking for OEM replacements.
Thanks guys.

Be careful about buying a cheaper display from some 3rd party store that ships out of Hong Kong. It might end up being a low end LCD instead of the replacement AMOLED. I bought mine off ebay for 220 shipped. I'd rather pay a little more than end up with a crappy display. At that point minas well just throw it away.

The phone retails for $600 (for the 16gb version). The display is 50% of the phone. $240 is not highway robbery if you break it down. I'll admit, as I've had to replace mine, that if FEELS like highway robbery but your buying one of the more essential parts of the Phone. You can do without the wifi, the bluetooth, headphone jack, speaker phone, maybe a button or 2. But you HAVE to have the high end display.

Yes I understand that most parts are made in China. I simply mean that parts from China can also be the other end of the spectrum, low end. You have to be careful who you buy from. Make sure it's a reputable company selling genuin parts. Buying through Ebay give's buyers protection from fake products. Buying from Tmart does not.
And, yes, there are low end crap replacement screens out there. When my son decided to "test" his 3GS otterbox with his other friend and the display quit working once the phone hit the ground I opted for a cheap replacement. He really didn't care as long as it still worked, plus he's lucky I fixed it at all and didn't give him my 7 year old moto flip as punishment. That display came from a Hong-Kong retailer, but I knew what I was buying from them.

is the lcd the same for i747 i535 i9300?

like this one, the seller says not to use with anything but the 9300: ( i cant post links)]
search ebay for: Samsung Galaxy S3 LCD+Digitizer RED Original
but if thats the case the verizon ones are the most expensive... why????
i'll call samsung tonight...
**EDIT**
i asked a samsung live chat guy, he said that the lcd and digitizer are the same throughout all models, the difference is in the frame. i found other posts here backing that up **
**EDIT 2**
just called samsung, only cost 135.31 after shipping!!! thats a total of only 135.31!!! whats the point of accidental warranty???

Smashed Screen.... Has anyone had theirs replaced

Hi Guys,
Dropped my Note Friday and shattered the screen....
What i want to know is if anyone has replaced the screen before? i'm trying to work out whether or not the digitaliser still responds to the pen i have had issues with replacing screens on other units, (i9000 and HTC HD2)
Any feed back would be great

I had mine replaced. It was great for the 20 mins I got to use it. And then SDS hit it lol. If you get an official one it fits nicely.
We have a phone tech at work who did it for me and he said it was easy to do.

You think if I paid to have samsung replace it that would be best?

Well, you'd still have an intact warranty, at least.

My mrs had a note 1 and last December smashed the screen, it was approx £200 to get it replaced, which was almost the value of the device at the time. So I bought her a note 2 for xmas. She's either very clumsy or very cleaver

I smashed my Australian GN2 - but a couple of months after buying. I don't think the glass is as Gorilla as they claim. The official ways to get it fixed all seem fairly expensive but there are some diy videos on youtube and there seems to be a difference between replacing just the glass and replacing the whole screen.

I sent mine in to SquareTrade a few weeks ago. They charged me $99 (deductible) but replaced the screen and the chrome edges. Phone looks like brand new.
