in a week I'm gonna be going to a concert. I need to get my phone waterproof prior to the concert. I'm gonna go cheap easy and efficient. my initial idea was use 2 condoms just to prevent liquid from getting in on the phone. then I started to think I'll need the camera to take pictures and video but theres condoms covering the camera and taking away from the clarity. Its there any easy easy way to achieve this.

Yes! Haha classic
Isnt there lube in most condoms ? Wouldn't that mess up something? It's been a while since I used one,probably explains my three kids existing

Yes, most do. But, you can get "dry" condoms. Problem with those is that they really aren't clear.
Double seal ziploc bag would do the OP better.
(see, this post/thread has nothing to do with modding...hehe)
Yeah.. I was going to say not go the the ones with lube lol...
That would be funny
A good clean Saran Wrap job may work. Its Cheap to try. Test it out. It may cost you a few feet of clear plastic wrap. a couple layers may do the trick
shrink wrap like you put over your window in the winter time at least those of us who live up north

Funny but you might have better luck burning the seams closed with a lighter rather than trusting the ziplock itself old school baggie style

A vacuum sealer (the ones for food)...they heat seal. Or dip it in hot wax. (No seriously...don't do that).

yeah, shrink wrap would work well. I used to mess with one at my old job, if you find a place that shrink wraps, they might even be nice and just do it for you, I imagine you can still use the touch screen without difficulty too. What on EARTH is intended to happen at this concert? I've been to a few with my vibrant and it was never at any risk of being submerged in water?? Ha

Well, sounds like all he wants to do is avoid it getting wet from rain. And it would do the trick. But, these would do it even better. I know for a fact that these work, as I have used them before when kayaking.

hah i was surprised at myself for how non hesitant i was to reach in and grab that sucker soooo fast
lucky for me it was in a clean toilet in my home
anyways
void sticker didnt even get touched
immediately ripped out the battery
let it sit in paper towels for a bit
and then put it in a warm place near a heater just not very close
two hours later i dared to turn it on and im totally safe ^_^
its been a few days now with no problems at all!
you should put it in a bowl of dry rice just in case
does it feel nice to the face? haha glad it survived. Sure way to know if you have the peeling screen issue. Seems like yours is sealed 100000% no dust for you!

I dropped my Treo 600 in a freakin lake about 2 months after getting it. I dove in and got it, threw it in the boat and it was dead, dead, dead. Took it home and it sat on the counter the remainder of my vacation. At first you could see the unit exhibiting small signs of life and eventually it came back and worked 100%. Sometimes miracles happen
lol funny thread

Wow, I'm surprised your Nexus One still works dude.. guess HTC's testing process did do some good. Or, you just got extremely lucky somehow.
On an off-topic side note, did anyone notice in the video where the Nexus One fell, the screen did not crack? I assume this was an almost final version of the product? Why though, does when people drop their phones on the concrete it still breaks? If HTC went through this rigorous testing process, why are phones breaking so easily?.. Of course glass breaks easily, but did the material they dropped the phone on was not as dense or hard enough as concrete? Or was it simply the multiple angles they tried..

In the video it looks like the phones are dropped from what appears to be rather less than hand-holding height, onto a surface that appears to be slightly rubbery. Concrete tends to be rather unforgiving no matter what you drop on it.
In December, I dropped my HTC Magic into a kid's swimming pool, left it to dry for one day and it's still in great working condition today =)
Did this exact same thing to my old Nokia 8190 back in the day, and the bowl wasn't "fresh". Phone came out fine other than the battery life dropped to 6-8 hours of standby, ended up carrying a spare in my wallet.
Oh lol, nice reaction tho..

Hmm, could be worth testing not-dogs, if its the protein that makes the real ones work then they should work just as well as the real thing!

Korean sausages (and Japanese ones) are wrapped in plastic. They are not greasy at all. You'll need to unwrap it before you can eat it. It is a popular snack for kids.

Thanks for posting it here and thanks for the videos
so no one noticed that the Gorilla Glass has come away from the chassis? don't believe me? look at the top right hand edge of the device, the glass has gone translucent, and if you quickly pause, you'll notice a line running down both left, and right edges of the glass, at first i thought it was the chrome bezel... it's not... explains speeding the video up, hides these mistakes. TBH still a good case, but throwing it off the roof of a building is a tad extreme.

That is a bubble in the screen protector and the edges of the screen protector, not damage to the glass.

Got a 10.1 which is fantastic however my biggest gripe is the way it so easliy collects fingerprints!!! Is there anyway to prevent this i.e. a good screen protector?? or some chemical coating?? Its so bad that you can see my unlock pattern on the screen once it turns off!

Check out my blog today man: http://goo.gl/O6iYZ
This was a good solution for a lot of people.
EDIT: LOL.... I just realized the first suggestion was Rain-X.... HINT, that is what my blog article is about!! Too funny man.
I just tried the rain-X trick and I must say that I'm well impressed!!! I use it on my bathroom mirrors as it stops them steaming up - It's great stuff! Will have to see how long it last but I would say it improved things by 90%...Going to use it on the screen of my phone too
Thanks man!

mine seems to last me a bit, i am ocd and clean my tab like once every 2 weeks and have been finger print free
I've heard about Rain-x before.
Now I'm from Belgium and I don't immediatly know where to get it. So I looked on Amazon.co.uk, but which one is it?
I can't post link to amazon coz I'm new.
But you have 3 different things:
*Rain X 88199500 Rain Repellent and Glass Cleaner
*Rain X 80199200 Rain Repellent
*Rain X 81199200 Anti Fog Repellent
I would also like an answer on this question, or a confirmation that
Rain X 88199500 Rain Repellent and Glass Cleaner
is the right one.
I have tried the last 2 and would say that the anti-fog works better...however none of them stop greasy fingerprints but I would say they definitely help!
Here's a guide for anyone with the T-Mobile leather back....
1. go to your local auto store, pick up a container of these babies:
autozone.com/interior-detailing-and-car-care-products/leather-care/meguiar-s-gold-class-leather-conditioner-wipes/347845/?_requestid=6961366
******this link will not work on your phone. instead, google Meguiar's/Gold Class leather conditioner wipes
2. Before going to bed..... Take the back off your phone and hold it along the edges with one finger through the camera cutout
3. Rub one of these wipes over the leather... use a medium pressure, nothing too hard, but enough force where you feel you're "cleaning" the leather.
4. WITHOUT TOUCHING THE LEATHER, lay the case leather side up for 6 hours (why I said do it before bed). Make sure the leather looks wet, but there are no streaks. I find its best to finish the application with a circular motion.
5. Wake up, put phone back together, and feel greatness :good:
Pro Tip:
1. Repeat on Days 3,4 and 5 consecutive.
2. After the 5th day, repeat "treatment" once a week.
3. Profit like a mother F
