Liquipel

If anyone is interested, just got off the phone with Liquipel support and they informed me that they should be supporting the Galaxy S 3 within the next 2 weeks. If you are not sure what it is, here is a link http://www.liquipel.com/in-action/

If they have to open it to apply it, it would.

When I watched the demo at CES they stated they do not need to open the device. They put the phone into a machine that released a 'fog' which spreads through the phone which waterproofs it.

looks neat and if you are one of those people dropping $40 on a case you probably wouldnt mind dropping the $60ish it looks like it costs. I'll be considering this.

How do water damage indicators work with this?

No way that's a real woman sitting in that chair. She got splashed and didn't say a word?! Isn't this the same thing they have a t Best Buys. There's a big jar full of water with an iphone sitting at the bottom.

Thanks for the update, they have yet to respond to any of my e-mail inquires about it and as far as I can tell Hz0 only deals with OEMs, I can't wait.
Can't wait to freak people out by using my Cell Phone as an underwater camera @ the pool lol.

Galaxy S III on Liquipel
Liquipel is now offering the Level II Slosh & Slip Protection option for the Galaxy S III
Not really happy that it's only Level II, but my phone is on the way.

I wish with this kind of technology, phone manufacturers would just add this to their manufacturing processes. obviously no one would because it would be higher cost and less revenue from non covered accidental damage.... Sigh

Good luck with that... This isn't designed so you can take your phone in the pool. Read the faqs and disclaimers.

Looks like the site was updated for the same price as everything else the s3 get "slap proofed" very disappointed and looking for alternatives.

Liquipel...
I got Liquipel on my iPhone 4 back in June and it’s saved it from getting destroyed at least three times. I even dropped it in a bubbling jacuzzi and it survived. I’ve been a believer ever since. You can’t tell anything has been done to it either, it comes back all clean in a nice metal container with a microfiber pouch. None of the water sensor stickers changed color when it got wet so even if it fails I can get a new phone on Apple. All in all I’d say its worth the $59. You no longer have to worry about losing a phone over a spilled drink or a little rain. Just makes you feel good.
Liquipel is going to be at CES again this year can’t wait to check out the show, I hear rumors of a machine doing free treatments at the show. :good:

[Q] I'm screwed, dropped a friend's n7 on the 2nd day

Seadra said:
He bought it yesterday , so I'm really ****ed. I talked to him on the phone and he was somewhat crying as he was hardly able to afford this after selling his laptop , as it's in India and it's really expensive in India. He didn't buy it from Google, so no RMA there.
I dropped it, sides got scratched :crying:. The scratches isn't on the back cover or the display. It's on the very sides (between the screen and the back) I don't know what that part is called, it's a glossy black which is rounded on the screen, may as well be a part of the screen.(I hope not)
I can I think afford 30-40$ max to get his tablet fixed, not more than that unfortunately. He bought it for 390$(Indian price).
Please Please, help a fellow member out I was about to root this thing for him so he can have some goodies but sooo unfortunate of this event. It's 12AM right now and I will be meeting him at 11AM tomorrow and I really don't want him to get much worried(not that he already is) and he is my best friend so that can ruin our friendship aswell :crying::crying::crying:

Not sure how you're going to find that particular part for it, much less find it for 40 bucks or less, maybe buy him a fosman TPU case to cover up the markings.
Might be helpful if you posted a pic.

You can't repair the screen like that.
Full replacement or none at all.
Either he forgives you which is going to be hard, under the circumstances you mentioned or you sell your Nexus 5 and buy him a new Nexus.
Then, take his old Nexus, sell it and buy another phone for yourself.

Wow! Definitely sucks for both of you! Sometimes doing a favor for a friend will turn around and bite you on the ass! I'm not going to comment about if you end up having to sell your N5 to make it right and your parents have a problem with it. I think you know that you have to make it right, even if it means using a dumb phone for a while. Talk to your friend, see what he wants you to do, suck it up!

Hey guys I came across this website today and was wondering if anyone has applied this to any of their previous or current devices. This company States that they can water proof your phone completely inside and out.

Ah yeah I actually saw that video yesterday. There really aren't many people with reviews out there though to get a good opinion. The product is almost too good to be true though.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

my buddy did this to his N5 and said it came out great. i never asked if he ended up testing it, but he's had no issues with it.

I read somewhere that the texture of items with this treatment feels somewhat different. I can't find the link the the source, but someone had mentioned that it felt grainy. Something like that is scary to me- anyone have any experience?

They accept no responsibility??? $60 buys you jack ****! For $60 I would expect some sort of warranty.

That would have been perfect for my Nexus 5 dog attacks!

Yeah! Cause your phone won't be completely submerged but it would have slobber on it. Are you considering getting it? I can't really justify the cost because I baby my phones and only have water damage one phone while was my tmobile sidekick 3.

Can you get him to post a mini review on here or pass on his knowledge to this thread? Would love to hear how his device feels and how it's holding up.

There's plenty of videos on YouTube about this. One of the more normal ones (meaning not from a known personality) is from some Asian guy who said it actually didn't work with his iPhone. Water sensor was red. But then his phone ended up fine. Something like that.

Na, I don't think I would get it. It looks pretty cool, but it's a little extreme for my needs. Neat concept though.

Broken plastic trim

Factory defect or are they going to say I caused this? the phone was never dropped and shows no signs of being dropped. I can only assume this is a result of taking my phone out of the case often. I have a tech21 case and I do take the phone out daily. Either way T-Mobile said they would credit me the charge if any. I just wanted to get some ideas on how this happened and what you think they will say caused it.

Well it's plastic, weak plastic for that matter. I remember that my Note 2 trim was damaged from removing a stiff TPU case a few times.
Maybe Samsung should quit producing theses phones with plastic trims.

Mine broke in the exact same place yesterday. I haven't used a case much at all but I did think that when I have the taking in and out might be the reason.
I never got insurance with t mobile so didn't think about taking in. I guess I can live with it for now. Maybe put a case on

That type of breakage is from user error.

True, I dinged my volume rocker to the point that it bent. Took it back to Costco (you get 90 days return there) and swapped it out for a new one. I hated just knowing my volume rocker was dinged on a brand new note 3.
My advice working for tmobile tech support (the guys that exchange your phone). Your worrying too much, this is a manufacturer defect. They will not charge you a out of warranty fee as long as the rep notes that it NOT user error.

No matter how many times you may throw insults, the fact of the matter is, that damage is from user error, and now you'll be receiving a refurbished phone that someone else probably abused, like the one pictured in the 1st post lol. Good luck on your refurbished phone ?

How's the new one you got?

Mine lasted 6 months not a scratch, no chipping and worked fine until this happened over the weekend. if it is happening it to everyone in the same place its a stress area that wasn't picked up during testing. I can only assume it had to do with case removal. Can someone else that did not have this problem confirm they did or did not remove the phone from a tight case on a regular basis? A store rep looked at mine and asked if i sat on the phone which I never have.

How did you get your phone replaced? Does t mobile have insurance for this sort of stuff?
Grande Note 3

Not trying to be a [email protected] but if you broke it from removing a "tight" case, then it's your fault. If the case was other than an official Samsung product, it's your fault. It's a defect if you open the box and the crack was there, or suddenly you looked at it and the breakage manifested before eyes without your intervention none whatsoever. Anything else, it's user error!

I have a business account and have been with tmobile for years so the gave me a one time replacement free of charge. As far as explaining to them how it happened i have no clue. User error ks hard to phathom because these phones should me able to be taken in and out of the case i bought from tmobile. I am not even sure thats how it happened because it did not break in front of my eyes. Good luck. And to the troll if a refurbished phone bothers you how do uou have sex with women other than virgins. That beat up ***** has got to bother u more than a previously used phone.

Well now I wont be surprised in the future when this happens to my phone too.

In my statements, I never implied any similarities between women and material objects, YOU did! I place women on a much higher pedestal than that! I'd also like to add that I've never had a problem accepting a refurbished phone over a new "only" and "only" if I know for a fact that it'll be a greater gain for me to trade in my original unit which I know has only been used by me. You on the other hand allowed your phone to get borked. Next you come here and post photos which clearly shows the breakage was caused from some type of stress or tension applied wrongly, which you are responsible for, and you wanna shift blame and yell defect! You defected the phone by not being careful as you should've. But hey there's no reason to be mad. You got you a refurbished Note 3 which more than likely most of its mileage are from the previous owner's bathroom usage, but I guess we'll never exactly know that, but hey as long as it works, right lol? ?

I've not had this problem. I rarely take it out of the case. Pretty much the only time would be to do a battery pull which is seldom. Case was a slip on type which is fairly tight.
No breaks on any parts so far and I've had the phone since Oct. I don't use the Stylus often either though.

Phone Case Insanity

While digging around for alternative cases, I found this.

This is the absolute strangest case I've ever seen. I'll post a picture when I get it.

LOL is that a buzzards?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

it's snakehead. From the pictures it looks like a real snake skin that they left the head on and is plopped in the middle of the back. I'm hoping it's big enough to use as a stand. I was on the fence about ordering one, but damn, this is just bat s__t crazy.

Wtf

Well they probably ate the meat

These have been available for a good few years, if you have interest in these, do check if they are genuine snake or fake, If they are real snakes do check with customs and cites, it's illegal to import these without a permit and approval certificate from cites.
And since the shops does not have approval for these, it's unlikely you can get approval from cites.

Did you receive the case?
