S3 in the shower - Galaxy S III Accessories

What do you guys think the best way I could listen to music in the shower? Ive ran into the problem where if the phone is outside of the shower, the internal speaker isn't loud enough.
So I was thinking I could bring the phone in the shower with a waterproof bag - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846 and use the internal speaker (would that muffle the music too much?)
Or a small speaker - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846
Thanks for the opinions

Altec Lansing iM227←←←← that is what I bought for the exact same reason you are looking for lol. I connect the aux cable when I get in the shower and im good to go. .th sound isnlouad and it is very clear and crisp. Very good little speaker and it fits in your hand so it is small.

My suggestion would be to just get a Seidio OBEX Waterproof case, you can use it in multiple situations including in the shower for music. Check out the video below.

I like that case, but I wouldn't use it outside the shower so I feel the price is a bit steep. That's why I am liking the waterproof pouch, I just think the sound would be muffled by it.

bluetooth speaker....or aux speaker. why make thigns difficult?

Wait for lifeproof and buy it. Youll like it enough to keep it on full time

What do you think the price will be around? And I'm currently using a rock quicksand case and love it.
What do you guys think about http://www.amazon.com/Grace-Digital...40831&sr=8-3&keywords=waterproof+speaker+case ?

if you play the music thruogh the speaker outside of the shower why would you need to protect it? its away from water?

That's *if* the GS3 version doesn't have the problems that the iPhone5 version has had. From experience, the iPhone 4 Lifeproof is pretty incredible. But I've read tons of negative reviews on the 5 version. I'm just hoping the GS3 one is solid.

Steam, and also a curtain is the only thing blocking water. I'm in a dorm and our shower is 10 showers in small stalls

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/GOAL+ZE...&ci_src=5784816&ci_sku=3346115&ref=25&loc=PGR
im sure similiar items can be had for cheaper. i know the dorms thats why im not seeing the issue. generally theres a bench outside the stall too? just set it down. the phoen could go in a ziplock if youre that worried.

Just a thought...
When I was in college using a shared dorm bathroom, I usually wanted to shower as quickly as possible and get back to my room. Sounds like ANY "solution" would just slow you down.
Even if you don't mind lingering... what makes you think 9 other people (+ possibly more using the sinks and toilets) want to also listen to your music? Shower time and sitting on the toilet were one of the few opportunities to get away from others while living in cramped quarters. Seems like you could potentially bother your dorm mates.
If you had your own private bathroom, that would be a different story. Either way, maybe it's something to keep in mind while you live in shared space.

You know what, Pa? You're right. I've decided I'm now going to skip my showers and let this old prospector get a drip or two in my place.
P.S. his name is Gus and he's coming home with me for the holidays

I personally just use large audio system that is louder than any showers. By I live in my own house, so no one to complain about the noise. :laugh:

Pick up a cheap used Moto Defy and stream to it via Wifi?
I never used mine IN the shower, but it never had a problem with me reaching out a wet hand to skip something on Slacker. Volume was still an issue though, so I installed a cheap under cabinet stereo next to the shower. Works great.

I use one of them little expandable speakers& it's very loud considering it's size. More than loud enuff for the shower.

Deebo took your bike too?
wow, I couldn't imagine having the SGS2 on my arm working out. Thing is huge! I always laugh when I see dorks at the gym with their phones attached to their arms. Get a mp3 player. Plus, arm bands usually max out at 17-18". Don't fit me.
Not to be rude, but if you actually worked out and didn't just go for show...then you would know that having a phone , especially one the size of ours makes NO sense to use in the gym or out running. Go buy a sansa clip or something of the sort. It would prob cost as much as a armband case for this beast anyways.

Look up the Tune Belt AB85 on Amazon, that's the one you want if you want to run w/ the TPU case still on the phone.
I have the Tune Belt AB84 and use it many times a week w/ my T-Mo SGSII, but the AB84 won't fit the device w/ a case on it at the same time.
Great case, I run in the rain here in Seattle, it fits well and is very comfy to run with. Touch screen works great through the plastic cover on the case.
I used a tune belt for about a year, which my GS2 fit in. However it drove me nuts how it would build up with moisture on the inside causing me to not be able to see the screen. I switched to the ArmPod http://www.amphipod.com/products/holders/music/-electronics/armpod and love it. I know it shows the iPhone only in it, however it fits our phones as well.

It's replies like this that are useless. If you have to start your reply to his question with 'not to be rude...' then you're being rude.
The SGSII is lighter than the iPhone4 and works just fine in an arm-band. Why should anyone buy a separate MP3 player when:
A) The phone they have works great as a music player (especially w/ Spotify or Rdio)
B) The phone they have can track their run/bike with GPS. (and you can get a heart-rate monitor if you like)
C) They may take a phone anyway if they're running in the dark or a not-so-nice area.
D) An arm-band is all of $20. Show me a $20 16gb MP3 player...
...you get the picture. The SGSII is fine for running.

Unique accesory for cooling down your phone or yourself

I noticed the other day when I was playing n64oid and fpse with sixaxis contoller app using MHL to HD adpater. Since the phone is charging and displaying on the tv as well as running 2 apps it gets pretty hot.
So I started looking for a portable fan that i could set behind my phone why using the kickstand on the case to blow some cool air on it. As well as keep me cool
I finally found the smallest fan ever and has really good reviews.
(click picture for where to buy)
I will update this with how it works when I get it...if it doesn't work that well then I will still use it as a portable fan.
Yes I know you can underclock but you don't want to when you are playing emulators that need lots of power!!!
Yes you can kill apps but never liked doing that....
Just thought I share in case someone had the same thought I did.
I don't think a tiny little fan could really cool down your phone too much, nor keep you cool.

Plus if it doesn't work i will just return it and get my money back
Haha, people will make anything to make a buck or two. If my phone begins to get a bit toasty, I usually just take it out of the case and lay it on a cool surface for a bit. That seems to do the trick and it's free, lol.

i was thinking of setting the fan sideway maybe a little tape on the table right behind it.. Ill will figure it out. I was originally thinking of ripping out the fan and motor and making a custom casing for it and attach it to the case somehow, but will look into it..

I found a flat heatsink that could possibly be made into a back cover, but we would ideally still need some way to solidly connect it to the hot parts of the SoC. It would involve breaching the plastic "firewall" of the housing, and replacing it with a short section of copper plate (i.e. a penny). Using a little thermal compound would make it even more effective at removing heat.
Can you picture this with a cutout for the camera pod?
On the liquid cooling front, I found some USB powered water pumps and cooling block.... If your Gnex is getting this hot, you might have a problem.
Hold the phone! This is much closer to the size we need. Peltier coolers work on thermocouple effect. It might use a little power, but will actually reduce temperature on one side, by a few degrees!
You could buy a mini fridge, then drill a hole in the front for wires:silly:
You can then also have cold drinks whilst playing your n64 games

How to make your earphones last longer

Over the past few years I've went through a few pairs of earphones.
One pair I lost the others broke.
They never lasted me more than 6 months before problems started to come forth.
Making them last longer means taking care of your earphones. They are fragile.
1stly check this link of how to take care of them.
Now I've found that every time my earphones break they usually break right at the jack because the cable bends alot there.
So one of my friends showed me this nifty trick to ease the bend of the cable
Just get a cheap click pen and remove the spring preferable one that looks like this

}
then take the cable of your earphones and insert it like this
wind the spring around the cable bit by bit
and slide it to were the cable joins the jack and let the end of the spring stretch over the rubber so it is secured on
Sofar my earphones have not yet given me any problems with this method.
Always be consiouse of your cabel at your jack make sure it never bends sharply.
Try not to put your device in your pocket when listening to music as your device moves around and bends the cable on the jack.
As I said that is were my earphones usually broke.
I Hope this helps you guys alot and may you have sweet sound to your ears werever you may roam.
I feel like it would annoy me tho, and I always just end up losing them instead of breaking them haha

But how often do you use your earphones? I mean I use mine everyday the whole day.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
As I said, daily during my workout as well as well as always when working in the yard as they block external sound very well and keep the work from getting boring. Again, I have the feeling that a major part of the issue is having a straight in jack instead of an angled connector. The point of your mod is to keep stress off of the connection points within the housing, which an angled jack will experience a lot less of.

or buy earphones with a removable cable. I baby all my stuff, and the weak strain reliefs on my Klipsch S4i's split after a year of every day use, so I repaired them (and gave them to my son). My Shure's have a removable cable, so never going to be an issue there.
This is a good tip, though, may save some people's earphones. Most important part is to limit stress on all joints of the cable by minimizing bending them there.

Here in South Africa we don't have a big variety of decent earphones. Skullcandy is like the best we can get here as far as I know and I use in ear earphones but I want some Aviators wich also has the replaceable cable. That's like the only headphones I've seen here with replaceable cables. But I'm broke at the moment lol...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
good tip! Thanks!
Theres another 'extendor' you can add to make earphones last longer
I've purchased one of these 'extendors' have a coiled cable
the one i bought from ebay was under the title '4pole 3.5mm 3ring M-F Right angle iPhone extension cable coiled line 0.3-1.6ft '
Here's an image http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODAwWDgwMA==/z/hL8AAOxygj5ScyAv/$(KGrHqF,!lkFJvT2IRdEBScy!ug!1g~~60_57.JPG
These ones have 4 poles that allow for play/pause buttons on earphones and their right angled so they fit many phones better.
The coils help minimize impact to the earphones by minimizing tension forces on the earphones and placing them on the coiled part.

Who is going to be the first to try NeverWet on their phone?

There is a new product on the market, sold at Home Depot, called NeverWet that promises to make everything waterproof. Check out the video and towards the end they waterproof an iPhone. This looks like some pretty amazing stuff!
http://youtu.be/DZrjXSsfxMQ
Looks awesome. Just don't know if I'm willing to try it on my $800 Note II. Luckily I have a old E4GT that I don't care about. And its in stock and & only $20 at my local Home Depot. Will post back with my results.

Just got this amazing stuff today! Tried it with shirt first, its drying right now. I'm going to try my shirt first then my shoes and then a couple of old cellphones before my G2x and finally if i see enough i will attempt the Galaxy S4. This is soo much cheaper than liquipel.
Looks like some crazy stuff. I saw their video on the Chive a week or two ago.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I just tried this on my LG G2x and i can confirm it work. I dod not submerge my phone in water, i just splashed the circuit board with some water. You have to completly coat the parts you dont want water to get to. Best way is to create a seal so that water wont get to parts where you dont want water to get to and cat neverwet it.
I can confirm that NeverWet does NOT conduct electricity. I sprayed the battery contacts and i had to scratch the NeverWet off with a knife. My phone would not turn on with the NeverWet coating on the battery contacts.
The thing I want the most from next generation of phones is for them to just be tougher. I want them water proof (liquipel pretreated) , shatterproof (flexible displays) , and power strong (next gen lithium ion batteries).
This definitely looks awesome. I think I am going to test it on my back cover of my note 2. To make sure it doesn't affect the paint or anything. I can always get another back. Can't wait to try it. May post a review on here or probably a video. I will also try it on my seidio surface case. Too bad can't do it in the screen or front of phone. Probably no point in doing it to the back in that case. I guess we'll see

want to try this so bad, just not a fan of dissecting my phone into pieces, wish we could just do the exterior and protect it from getting into the inside of the phone, going to buy this stuff tonight and use on my shoes and stuff, and maybe one daring day ill do it on an older phone i dont care too much about anymore.
plan on using it to protect my shoes during the warrior dash.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an old 4G EVO as well and it should be put to good use.
After reading more info on this I will not be trying on my phone. I'll stick to using this on other items though. But if anyone uses it on their phone definitely post it here. It's still a cool product. This would be awesome on a tent or umbrella.

Just got this and some Duster spray. For 28.35 from the local home Depot.
Hope it works. I've been doubtful but now I got the supplies so I must complete this project.
I want water proof ness so I can play under water.
I took apart my gn2 once before to reassemble the power button
so I'm not too scared but I am a little nervous.
Pray for me guys.
Be careful, never wet is known not to be very permanent. It scratches off easily.

Tried this stuff on my shoes and a shirt and a plunger before id mess with on my device happy I did so.. didnt work on shirt like on the ads. Shoes only worked on one of them...plunger worked good. Not to everyone and else not sure if its said in any ads but I dont believe it protects against running water but it seems to work best in water thats standing still like puddles and what not.

I bought some from home depot last week put it on my work boots. I paint traffic controll markings and the neverwet doesnt even repel our water base paint we use, sticks right to it. Also it rubbed off in about a day or two. I tried putting it on my seidio active case and it dried frosted looking and almost white in some spots and it wore off in about 5 minutes, from taking it in and out of my pocket. I would definitely not try it on my phone it might work a little while but I wouldnt trust it. I would only buy it to mess around with it has almost no real practical use cause it rubs off so easy.
I have an old EVO 4G I could try it on. Will report back.
For all those times I talk underwater or in rain storms...oh wait

Picked up an alternate way to carry my N72013.. a holster bag!

I got this a week ago. I love the slim design of the N7, and REALLY hated the one smart flipcase I got on ebay. It made the N7 heavier, bulkier, and more unwieldy.
I had seen these a year or so ago, and have some vision issues, so I need to carry several pairs of eyeglasses with me.
I looked in my bookmarks, pulled this up, and the grabbit is a perfect solution for me!
The front leg pocket easily holds my galaxy s3 so I can tether, and they also hold 2 pairs of eyeglasses.
The large pocket has no zipper, so there is nothing to scratch the tablet, and because it has both a Velcro closure and a snap strap, the tablet is safe n secure. Because of its location, there is also no twist stress put on the tablet.
There aren't the cheapest things at $25 a pop, but I got both left and right for about $50 shipped, and the seller even included the expansion straps for waist and legs. (The waist fits up to 43" or so.)
I don't need the expansions, but it was nice of him to offer them.
You could easily put a ps3 game controller in the left large pocket if you wanted on the go gaming on the tablet, and there are plenty of pockets to carry things like bt headsets, a charger cord and the like.
I'm still on the hunt for a VERY slim smartcase with a front cover, but this will suit me fine for now.

That looks pretty tactical. Glad you found a case that fits your needs. This would be good for surveyors, hikers, or even park use

For a slim smart cover, have you looked at the Moko UltraSlim? I bought the UltraSlim in all white, but they offer a wide variety of colors. I absolutely love mine, and haven't used my eBay folio case since I received the Moko.

Yep, semi serious. We hike a lot, and go bike riding as well, so something like this just made sense. I'm tired of fanny packs, and if I just use the left or right side, it adds JUST enough space to carry all my crap.
Plus I'd rather have it than a man purse.
Why do you need a tablet when you go hiking or biking?

We use mytracks to record out hikes and share them on facebook, and for later reference. Since my tablet gets MUCH better battery than my phone, I tether to the phone, and then use the tablet for the main device.
The main point though, is to have one easy to use carrying device for all my out n about things.. shopping, outdoor stuff, ect.
I was diagnosed diabetic a number of years ago, and that created some very wonky vision issues. I need at least 2 pairs of glasses with me at all times, and the tablet is much easier to read than even the large screen on my galaxy s3.
I've broken more pairs of reading glasses than I can mention pocketing them, and having three pairs of glasses hanging off your t shirt neck looks like hell.
This bag solves all my personal mobile storage issues, without some man purse thing handing off my neck, or having something in my hands at all times.
This holster is awesome You can even carry a gun inside :good:

I'm pretty sure you put a CCW and tablet, ammo. This would be a good Tactical team bag. Some use optic finders for certain situation. For the price this is a nice bag.

They make a more heavy duty deluxe version, but that's more expensive, and has a zipper on the tablet sized pocket, which could potentially scratch it.
Get a fanny pack.

I hate fanny packs. They can't be worn in a car, and you can barley fit a tablet in them. Plus they have metal zippers which can scratch tablets.
I have a fanny pack, and do use it for hiking for carrying emergency and food stuffs, as well as our drink bottles, but that's unacceptable for day to day shopping and such.
"In tonight's news, tech savvy man tazed by police while trying to reach for a tablet to ask for directions and was thought to be drawing a weapon, more at 10"
I totally would use this, along with my Runnur Bandolier that i already wear to carry my camera and laptop accessories.
