MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Samsung S6 or larger for if I upgrade to S7/8, ideally where I don't have to remove I from its normal slimline case to get it in. Would be nice to be able to use the phone through the case too.
How waterproof?
I got [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-Shockproof-Hybrid-Rubber-TPU-Case-Cover-For-iPhone-10-X-8-7-Plus-6s-5/112359861689?_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170912101845%26meid%3D31d53cd00fc5434488db108bb34c049b%26pid%3D100705%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26&_trksid=p2045573.c100705.m4780 ]one of these [/url]for a holiday a couple of years ago - it leaked a tiny bit when underwater filming in the pool, but generally it was fine.
I assume you can get them for all phone types (mine is an iPhone).
Isn’t the S7/8 actually waterproof? The iP7/8 are, as is the X, and I thought the Samsung phones were as well.
Edit: looks like the Galaxy S8 is, not sure about the 7, the iP7 has a high level of water resistance, the 8 has as well.
Got a topeak waterproof dry case which is pretty good. They do different sizes so you should be able to find one that works wiht your existing case. Works well with a capacitive screen too & has the abilty to bar mount.
S7 & S8 are ip68 afaik so you won't really need a waterproof case.
For complete bomproofing I've topeak ride case for my Iphone SE. Due to my stupidity I failed to clip it on to my KTMs bar mount correctly & lost it on the M6 at fast lane on a motorbike speeds. The phone lived but was inaccessible & could still be contacted several days later. Latest version is touch id compliant!
I just use a plastic bag with reclosable snapzip thingy that the last bike purchase came wrapped in. I have a little stockpile and various sizes so can also carry money and cards etc 😉
ALoksak works well. I've also got the waterproof case from Decathlon, not used in anger yet but appears to work well and fits my iphone 6 with a case on
Knotted condom.
It's not just water, it's mud, grit and knocks and scrapes etc from the contents of my Camelbak. I've got an old one that has a 'phone pouch' but it's sized for phones from 2004 ish and my 2017 phone won't fit 🙂
I've tried freezer bags etc, and of course they work but they're a bit shite and you can't use your phone through them as well.
Bar mount not required.
