Waterproof pouch with headphone passthrough - Nexus 7 Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/TrendyDigital-H2OProof-Waterproof-Headphone-Removable/dp/B008FQ0678/
Above is a waterproof pouch type of case to fit 7" tablets. Has a headphone passthrough so you can still listen to music while being completely waterproof (well, you'd probably ruin the headphones, but...). Never used it, so I can't speak to how well it works, but this seams to be a must-have accessory if you're a trendy salt lifer or you'll be taking your tablet anywhere with lots of water and sand. The beach, water park, boat, etc.
Not really interesting to me, but I just came across it and figured I'd share.

They have them at staples for around the same price.

I have used a similar contraption in conjunction with an arm band for a phone as a music player while running in the rain. I definitely would not call it waterproof. Water resistant, yes, but not submergable by any means. Probably work good for being out on small boats and or water craft. There are also several sets of headphones that are designed for swimming or are sweat/water resistant that could be used in conjunction with a pouch like this.

I have gone through a set of Philips and a set of Sony "sweatproof" headphones with no success. Both failed on my first workout. Exchanged both of them and they failed again.
And yes, I would not submerge them either but its a good defense against sand and the occasional bucket of water carried by kids running by.
Thanks for the tip about staples. Like I said, I don't bring any devices to the beach/boat now that I'm out of the military and not on 24 hour recall status.

Magnetic Magic! Novel Mounting Solutions

Magnetic Trick #1
Okay, so you are loving that you can sling a football game to your new NC while snacking in the kitchen, but your are stumped.....where can you safely mount your nook? If you purchased a Industriell Easel Cover, then your problem is solved. It turns out that the magnet, built to hold the clasp in place, is a very strong rare earth type. So strong in fact, that you can mount the entire thing on the refrigerator door. I know it seems risky, but the mount is surprisingly firm. Now, I not suggesting you attempt with house full of drunken Super Bowl buddies, or lot of active refrigerator friendly little ones about; but for breakfast news viewing you might find it handy.
****note: Any metal surface will work, you could for example use the side of the refrigerator if you find the door too risky. Please whatever you do, don't use the oven.
Magnetic Trick #2
Still not sold on this versatile NC cover? Then check out this second horizontal or vertical mounting option. Take a metal bookend holder, the old school library type, with the cork or felt protective base. Bend the vertical tab to your favorite viewing angle, then slide it between the flap and back cover. The magnets stick to the bookend, the mount is extremely stable ,and it looks nice to!
Very cool. Thanks for the info. Now if I only had a car from the 60's or older, this would make a perfect dash mount.
I shudder to think of driving an old car like that; drum brakes, metal rings on the steering wheel, no seat belts, metal dash and seats without head rests. How did people live though accidents?
OP thanks for solidifying my choice. I was on the fence before this idea of yours.

It turns out that I have such a car, and old 66 mustang convertible, and I used to drive it, single bowl drum brakes and all, in Houston traffic! Yes, I was younger, yes I was very very, okay, extremely stupid, but the funny thing was the way other people reacted. I had driven an old 3/4 ton company truck and it was dog eat dog.....brutal Darwin style driving, but when I hit the road in the Mustang, the traffic parted like for the Red Sea for Moses. People would wave me in, if you've ever hazarded the Houston Interstate nightmare you can appreciate how incredible that is. It was an amazing experience. Hmmm, you've got me thinking now, I might have go see if that thing will stick to the dash...........

The Nook Color works well with my slingbox, I think I have an AV model. I can also confirm that it tethers to my captivate (froyo 2.2 rom) and slings over cell network.
I almost learned about the magnet the hard way. Was home working on a computer and had my nook next to me with this case and just about set a hard drive down on top of it until I noticed all of the screws sticking together. I just figured the magnet was in the metal buckle and not the case. Never thought about sticking it to the fridge though. Tried it and it worked pretty well. THANKS!

Well, solid state drives are getting cheaper and faster every day. For that matter, I haven't used my venerable old laptop much since I fell in love rooting some nookie. If the recent breakthroughs in Bluetooth plays out I might have to retire the old girl.
Wow! I wonder how early BN opens...
very darn cool...I was trying to stomach getting the Lautner case, as I wanted it to look half descent but want portrait and landscape positions (landscape for airplane flights)...I may go with this...
Thanks to the OP...
I got my nook a week before my wife went into labor. When we were leaving the hospital I forgot my nook on the rook of our car. Our house is about 9 turns and 4 miles away with speeds from 40-60 mph. I got to about 1 mile away from home going 60 mph and I heard a thump. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw my nook on the spoiler. I stopped and everything was fine. I am betting the magnet helped the nook stay on top of our car and I am so thankful I got the case.
Bouncing Baby
Nice magnetic nook save and a new baby to boot. Heck a new baby is almost as nice as getting a new phone, even better because the baby will get continuous free upgrades for life. Samsung and HTC can't match that. All joking aside though,can you imagine how sad and primitive all Dads' hot technology will look to that little one twenty years hence? Well my best wishes to mommy, the little one......and congratulations to the new Dad!
I was planning on going to BN this morning to buy this case and use it with the book-end mod for landscape viewing, but then I found (and ordered) this:
It's under $20 and has 17 5-star reviews and 3 4-star reviews (out of 20 total reviews). There are also a couple of customer-contributed images of a Nook Color in a case sitting in it, in both portrait and landscape.
Hi jason, I saw that stand too and at the time I thought it might make a nice bedside stand. I went with the mag cover for the portability, the protective cover it would provide and, because of my poor impulse control..., the old "I have to have it right now". Its best feature, the magnetic component, was an unexpected bonus.
I'm still interested in how your stand performs, stability wise or, any such observations you might wish to share, once you take the plunge and get some user experiance.

[Q] Picky case seeker

I'm looking for a specific case for my nook color. Sadly, so far, none of the ones I have been looking at fit the bill.
The needs are:
1. useable inside the case.
2. waterproof (under 10 meter depth, mostly to keep rain or accidental drops in the tub from killing it)inside the case
3. Able to take a drop of 4 feet and not damage the Nook Color
4. able to take the weight of a person accidentally sitting on it.
I'm not worried about charging or listening to headphones while it's in the case. But, so far, either I've found ones like the oberon ones, which fits the shock and structural needs but not water needs, or ones like the expensive thick ziplock bag, which does not provide much more than waterproofing.
Is it just nuts for me to want to protect and armor my e-reader to a point I can use it when waiting for dawn while goose hunting, or out camping?
What you are looking for is made by Plexicorp, based out of San Francisco. They make a variety of products using a patented transparent aluminum which was developed in 1986 by Dr Mark Nichols.
Oh ha ha. we all know Scotty gave the formula to him, two finger typing on an old mac.
Seriously, a metal backed cover and frame, with padding and waterproofing, and a transparent screen cover like the fancy thick ziplock bag would work. But, as I said, everything either has the drop/sit ruggedness and not the waterproofing, one has the waterproofing and not protection, and one has the protection and waterproofing, but you can't use it in the case.
it's beginning to appear like I'll have to break down and design one my own self, since none of the makers are filling my needs. you'd think with all the campers, hunters, fishers, beachgoers, pool gatherers, and even readers soaking in a bathtub, let alone drunk college students, someone would make SOMETHING like this.
sounds like you need to be more careful with your 250 dollar toy. go get a travel case lined with foam. water proof, shock proof, and idiot proof. after that put the travel case on a three foot leash and strap it to your neck. only hit the ground if your a midget.
http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1300-Case-Camera-Yellow/dp/B00009XVKW
You will look real snazzy walking around with this.
or, I guess you can also infuse it with the power of all mighty Odin and hope that works. i think your asking for a little too much. hunters go outside to hunt. fishers go outside to fish. hikers go outside to hike. any of the above that would use a product like the nook would just use the ziplock bag style or a hardcore pelican case and protect the **** out of it. and not take it out of said case during the hurricane.
most outdoor people would just use this
http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1050-Micro-Case-Blue/dp/B001CNNEXY
but i doubt you want to put that in your pocket at 3.1" thick. but even with that you want a flap to store **** in. if i were you i'd start praying.
Wow, I have to say, you've got me wondering what you're planning on doing with the Nook! I'm intrigued though, I've thought myself it would be nice to have a super rugged gadget. It looks like the Otterbox case is just going to help with impacts, etc. I did find this old thread which might help..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-749995.html
Ok. the cases I'm seeing posted fall into category 3, has the sit proof, crush proof, waterproof, but not USEABLE inside the case.
let me show you what I am looking at. Of the premade factory cases:
Option 1- URL redacted because of silly posting rules, but the Trendy Digital waterguard waterproof case. Has the waterproofing needed, but does not provide decent enough protection otherwise.
Option 2- Oberon cover, replacing the plastic inserts with either sheet steel or aluminum plate. But, this is the opposite issue from Option 1. Not waterproof.
Option 3- One of the cases mentioned. But, doesn't allow the device to stay waterproofed when you want to use it.
What am I wanting to do with it? Well, I want to be able to take it hunting, to look up tides, help identify geese, or when it's dead slow, read a book. It's often in the rain, around lots of salt water, and can get dropped or stepped on if some geese swoop in and I need to hammer. Or, take it camping, and not worry about getting caught in the rain, dropping it, or falling on it trying to carry it about. Many of these cases have 2, even 3 parts that would work, but without the whole enchilada, it's not going to do what I need.
Edit: BTW, I've taken an ipod 5g video out for 2 seasons and it's still working. the NC is actually meant to be a replacement for it, as the battery is slowly dying.
I am using a Trident Aegis on my NC. I tried it out in a medium (7"x10") Coleman waterproof pouch and the touchscreen worked through the plastic.

my 1 cent about N7 built quality

i kinda dissappointed with the scratch resistance of nexus 7. i use moko case since i bought the nexus but now i find a soft scratch on my screen. I use it moderately, i keep it in my bag inside the case, i never knock the screen with any hard object, so the only thing i could think off that can scratch my screen is when i wipe the screen using my clothes and the dust scratch it. What makes me disappointed is, N7 is advertised using gorilla glass (or at least protection from corning if i'm mistaken), is it really that easily to scratch? My nexus S screen has no scratch whatsoever except a crack on where i dropped it which is acceptable because it's my mistake, but i use my N7 carefully and i still manage to scratch it. Did anyone have the same issue?
My next issue is a little dent on the side of the N7. Like i said earlier, i used it moderately (not too careful but not careless). I did place my N7 inside a bag with other stuffs (my phone, wallet, maybe some coin in there), i keep it inside the moko case, it did expose the side of the N7 (which makes me think to buy another case), but even my naked nexus s made from plastic did not have any dent other than when falling from my hand.
My next issue is my N7 is not charging properly, might be from the power outlet or from the N7 itself. I was travelling to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Fransisco and i notice that my N7 is not charging when i plug it to the power outlet using the original N7 charger. I need to turn off my N7, unplug the microUSB cable from my N7, and then re-plug it in order to be able to charge it. And when i turn it on again, it stop charging. Sometimes it keep charging even though it gives no charging indication sometimes it not. It kinda doesn't make any sense to not be able to charge from the wall power outlet (not from PC usb) while my sister can charge her ipad just fine and his husband can charge his asus transformer prime just fine. It happens not only in 1 hotel but from many hotels and many other cities. Well, i can charge just fine in my house but yesterday i find out that my N7 suddenly stop charging when i play a game, i have to re-plug the cable in order to make it charged again. I want to send it in for a replacement, but i afraid it will charge me a fees because of the screen scratch and the dent thingy.
overall, i'm so not impressed by the built quality of the N7. the tablet itself offer perfect user experience.
Can't speak first your first 2 paragraphs. But the last one I might have an answer. I notice you are from jakarta, and you travelled to america and complained about the charging issues there. Well; I'm not sure what outlets you have in jakarta but im almost positive it's not the same as North America. So I assume you were using an adapter. Regardless of what adapter you have and what not; it's not going to charge properly no matter what the adapter papers say to you. My girlfriend has a kobo vox and we went to europe back in june and we charged it there and it would last at the max maybe 2-3 hrs when it's supposed to be rated at 7 hrs constantly on with wi-fi.

That's the Twitter effect, anything more than 140 characters and your brain seizes up, come back and join the real world.
At the OP re scratches - using your clothes to wipe a class surface is never going to be a good thing, you have no idea what might be on them, tiny bits of grit for example can scratch your screen easily. It's common sense to protect your investment by using a screen protector and when you can buy one for next to nothing it's surely a no brainer?
Fist off the screen is like any other gorilla glass screen its not scratch proof its scratch resistant. Its was probably sand that got your tablet should of bought a screen protector. Erica on xda TV has a really good video on it explain just about everything about glass tempering here is the link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfgKLwGnOZs&feature=youtube_gdata_player.Well next I'd say to do is check the cable and charger there can be issues there. It also could be a charging issue from the charging port or cable corroding it happened to my galaxy nexus and it I just bought the dock and use the pogo pins for charging.
Sent from Pallet town on my nexus 7.
Careful, the N7 doesnt have Gorilla Glass at all, it has "Scratch-resistant Corning Glass"

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7/specs
The charger issue seems odd to me, I've only heard of issues so far when using third party chargers which are too weak.
And the dent is odd.. Horrible luck possibly? I know i have dents like that on my laptop from things smacking the corner of my messenger bag (like a subway turnstyle) so I keep my N7 in a hard case. I dont trust those book style cases for real protection :|
Looks like I'll have to report this to my boss we will get on these issues right away

Try switching to another USB cable these new cables are pretty terrible and can crap out on you. I have some that charge but don't pass data anymore and some that don't charge or do anything else.
Even though it's just hardened glass it's still created almost the same way and still scratches with sand. I think the moral of this is always use a screen protector no matter what. And that charging issue will most likely be replaced by Google for free if you bought it from the play store. Here is the Google play numbers device help line number (855) 836-3987 I'm pretty sure its a 100% toll free.

Good waterproof case for the Note 2

Hi, I am new to this form but not so new to the note. I am an avid sailor and I was wondering if there are any cases for the note 2 that I could take out on the water. See it is a small boat (only 2 person) and I want to be able to listen to music while sailing and if I capsize not worry if my phone will be ruined or worse sink.

There are a few cases out there. I usually search eBay or AliExpress for them. They can be called water proof or life cases (as the withstand life haha).
iOttie makes waterproof skin, but it's not a case. I'm not aware of any full waterproof case for N2. Manufacturers don't want to make it using access to s-pen as an excuse.
how about a waterproof pouch, just got one for USD 2.50.

I'd be cautious about that, considering that Griffin haven't actually made any Survivor cases for the Note 2. Its a fake that you can get much cheaper from eBay.
I have an aquapac that I've been using for a few years. Never had any problems.
I bought it for my g2. Its been to water parks and to Hawaii 3 times. Snorkeling, swimming or just floating at Waikiki.
I'm pretty sure the naked n2 fits in the one I have. It's not a problem for me to take the case off to use it in the pouch because it stays around my neck the whole time.
It will be coming with me back to Hawaii in a few weeks!

Everyone is focusing on the waterproofing factor, but the op mention capsizing.... I would certainly be worried about water damage on a boat, but if it goes overboard it will just sink. You need something that will float like a sealbag... I used those in the military and they worked great, but you would have to constantly have to take it in and out of the bag.
My suggestion would be to by a cheap pos mp3 player and speaker set, and leave the phone in your car. Be smart.

If you're really serious about a waterproof case then the most full-featured one has to be DryCase. I've used DryCase for years and it has somethings that I've not seen in others like:
- A hand pump to pump all the air out of the case. When you do this you are absolutely, positively certain that it's water tight. Very comforting.
- An internal connector to the headphone jack that passes through the case to the outside world. You can plug in your headphone jack to make phone calls or listen to music without having to listen to music through the heavy vinyl.
- An armband. This can be used on your arm or around something in the boat to keep it from going away. It also acts as a floatation device.
- It's totally clear on front and back. No matter where the camera lens is you can take a photo.
It's more expensive than some of the cheap ones here ($24 on Amazon Prim) but if you're under water taking a photo of of fish or the crashing wave do you really want to trust your $700 phone to a cheap Chinese knockoff?
Here's where your can get one.
I just use a large Zip-loc bag.

Case with charger dust cover

I know this is a longshot due to the relatively small number of accessories, but I'm looking for a case that somehow covers the charging port. After a lot of reading about how the phone is actually waterproof despite the lack of ip68 rating, I plan to take it surf fishing with me. I'm not going to dunk it in saltwater or unnecessarily expose it to waves and spray. I am worried about sand, which tends to get everywhere including all over the inside of my car. The salty air tends to make the sand stick to everything and I don't want to get it into the charging port and have it break something while plugging/unplugging the charger. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen one that covers all the ports. Like you said the selection is kind of limited for smaller "niche" types of phones such as the compact. The only thing I know of that will protect all the ports and also make the phone waterproof is the Armor X Soft Case. Doubt it's what your looking for but it might be something right up your alley. https://www.armor-x.com/ag-w1-z5-sony-xperia-waterproof-soft-case-cover-for-x-xa-performance-compact.html
Thanks. I have one of those already. The problem with those is all the fumbling around opening and closing the pouch.
Actually I'm highly confident that the xc is waterproof. But like I said I'm worried about grinding sand into the charging port and wrecking something. .
Nillkin has one that covers charging port. I bought mine on ebay for 5€. Check it
