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.

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered the Skiva StrongMount today. Should have it by tomorrow.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

Sure. Just got it. Gonna try it out tonight.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I dig it. Its been on my dash since I bought it and its fallen off twice, which I think is due to the heat from being in direct sun light for months.

I cycle and like to chuck my phone in my jersey's pocket so I can log my rides with GPS.
The problem is that the pocket is in the lower back of the jersey (for those of you not familiar with cycling Jerseys) it can get pretty sweaty as its sheltered from the wind... especially in the summer.
So I need a good quality waterproof pouch to slip it into - any recommendations?

Iottie. Check amazon

I have an Aquapac and I love it. Its obviously bigger than the phone, but it makes it useful for other things. It has a separator to keep things apart inside the bag. Just search amazon.

There was a video review someone did here where they tested one and he dunked it into a container full of water and it was working well. I forget the person though and the product name.

Tried it! They are a fiddle and don't add any protection to the phone really. I'd be more comfortable with a thicker pouch that's designed to last.

Case+double zip lock is the most economical. Or vacuum seal

What are your thoughts on this case?
From the pictures on the SGP website the leather looks quite "premium".
There seems to be no speaker slit on the front of it.
If it is designed similar to the Galaxy Note version, it should have an actual cash slot compartment, which is a HUGE plus for me.
If anyone has already bought this case, please post some more pictures.
Is it any different than the illuzion one? And does it have the same cheap phone holding system as the illuzion?

Well I have not bought one yet, it does kind of look like it has the same phone holding system as the illuzion. (which I am also interest in)
Why do you think the illuzion case has a cheap phone holding system?
Wondering if anyone has bought it yet?

Mine does, on the left hand side of the plastic back, it squeaks when I press it. That's not so awesome about this phone.

No squeak here. It would have to be a mighty huge squeak for me to give up multi tasking and go back to the One X. (Never mind multi view)
I found its easier to put the back on if you start with slotting the bottom parts in first. Try putting the back on again.

The back will creak if you've removed the cover too forcefully and tweaked the little hooks that hold it in place
My back clicks - especially when I press the Home button... drives me nuts.

Mine currently does atm, but it didn't start off that way, it was fine when I first got it, but after a number of battery pulls and constantly taking the back off enough times it has changed to being like that. This happened on my S3 as well, but I simply bought a new back cover and problem went away. The new one on my S3 hasn't changed to being like that and I've pulled it off many times as well, might just be a minor manufacturing defect thing (I noticed the tiny clips on the backing that click into our phones are small and sometimes look a little warped from being mass produced), You can order replacement backings, as well as different custom colors off ebay, or just the official OEM ones from Samsung. My carrier's store sells replacement S3 backings so once they get replacement Note II backings in ill just get a new one to stop that from happening, they are cheap so no biggie.
I just ordered a metal back for $6.75 at ebay. Hopefully it will be good . The stock plastic back is way too thin, don't know why Sammy was so cheap on its flagship.

Yep I have a squeaky back too but it doesn't bother me that much as I am getting a case soon. In other words no big deal

Well I solve the problem by sticking some paper into the inside of the back where the squeaky sound comes from.

for those buying aftermakret backs off Ebay be warned that most don't have the NFC chip in them. The OEM battery cover has it (2 gold contacts upper third of the case).
Mine squeaks around the volume rocker. Grey phone. Havent checked my wife's which is white.

I have been wondering what those two dots are for lol.
Sent from Note II
I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.
I found these two on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.

Almost positive I'll be going with the Myrin. The one for the Note 2 would for my S3! That'd be great to have them both at work.
