Hi all!
I'm searching for some kind of weatherproof box to use on my Dragstar.
Something not too bulky and with recharge connection possibility.
So, if anyone has ever made or bought this kind of fixation, please, share your experience!
For now I'm using Krusell BikeHolder with PDair Aluminium Case and thinking about Krusell ORBIT FLEX. Both are not weatherproof, so just for café rides...
Thanks!
The product you are looking for is the Otterbox 3600 - my mates use them on their trail bikes and they are the dogs danglies. It is big and bulky byt it is crush proof and waterproof. you need to buy the box (about £60) and a handlebar mount. they also have an access hatch top and bottom to run leads through for charging and headphones.
Good luck and post pics
Thanks, matt_not_andrew. I know them well, even thought about Armor 2600, but it is still a little bulky. I don't make trial rides, just highways' journeys, so a good rain protection can be enough.
Thanks anyway for an advice!

Hello. I have ordered the Otterbox 1900 and it will be interesting to how to fit my Blackbird ..
My DIY approach:-
I bought a transparent pencil case for 30 pence and cut it to size around the Blackstone. Sewed up the edges with linen thread and glue and kept the zip on one side for inserting the phone. I had a handlebar mount from an old TomTom Rider unit and I attach my case with the phone on to this mount using heavy duty velcro. I made a little whole at the bottom of the case to accept the usb lead for charging from the cigarette lighter socket. It never comes off but I attached a piece of string/cord on the zip which clips around the handlebars in case it ever did fall off.
It's probably not completely waterproof at the seams but I have used it in all weathers and not had any problems so far.
I recently glued an old bicycle inner tube around the seam edges cut to size to give it extra protection. Not the prettiest but very light and functional. Use it a lot on my motorbike
Aquapak and velcro.
I've had a RAM mount for a while now and use it on my Thundercat. Cost about fifty quid including the aquabox, arm and mount for handlebars and it works a treat. I've only had my HD for a couple of days and haven't tried it in the box to see if it fits yet (I used to use it with orbit 2 and it fit with room to spare). I'll try it this weekend though.
Just checked and the Touch HD fits in the RAM mount aquabox
Super! Can you tell me which one exactly?

Cool! I'm at the verge of ordering the Ram mount Aqua box with handlebar fixture. But would like to know in what size box the HD fits (I suspect the medium...) and if it fits well in there (no sliding around or anything). So any info will be much appreciated.
Yep it was medium from memory - will check for sure later today if I remember when I get home. I got the short arm, the ball that bolts on to the back and there's a bracket that bolts on to the clamp of my clip on - I could take a pic if that would be helpful?
Did my Otterbox 1900 today, and HD is perfectly suited to touch screen. I have mounted RAMmount ball Clutch-reservoir and an arm that goes to the Otterbox None problem to see the dashboard either .. Satisfied with the deal.

Yes, a picture (if possible with the Touch HD in it ) will be much appreciated. That way I can see what it actually looks like instead of the commercial pictures. Thanks is advance.
Oooh, this I can't wait to see. If it works good on your clipon, I'll order a set myself.
Want to use my blacstone w/garmin mobile xt on my new bike
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention that it's the ram aqua box I'm interessted in
And has somebody tried an Otterbox 2600 Series PDA Case ? It is a little smaller than 1900, but as the interior dimensions fit, it can be a deal.

Hello.
Right that you look after the Otterbox.
Good quality.
I have rammounts aquabox and in comparison this is aquaboxs screen NOT so clearly transparent..my otterbox is better clearly screen and much better touchrespons.
Right then, it's the medium aquabox this one

I've attached a picture of it mounted on the bike. As you can see it's bolted on to the clipon clamp: you just loosen the arma and take the arm and box with you, leaving the bracket and ball attached to the bike. I got the short arm which is more than sufficient I think and you can pull it upwards towards you either in bright sunshine or when you've got a fully loaded tankbag on the bike. The lens bit could be better I guess, but it does the job - the only thing you have to do is make sure you don't get any raindrops inside when it's raining otherwise it tends to steam up with the heat of the phone.
I run a USB cable through a hole drilled in the bottom of the aquabox, down the side of the tank and under the seat where it plugs into a cigarette lighter usb charger which plugs into a maplin lighter socket and into the battery.
Dude, thanks this is exactly what I am thinking about buying.
Would you mind taking a picture of just the bracket with the ball? I mean, when you've detached the arm/aqua box?
The question is what bracket to buy. Is it the RAM Motorcycle Zinc Coated 0.75" To 1.25" Rail Or Handlebar U-Bolt Base?
or the RAM Universal Brake/Clutch & Handlebar Combination Kit?
And they even have more to choose from. I don't even understand how to fix the Brake/Clutch Reservoir Base...
Ah, found the motorcycle mount wizard, which tells me that it's the first one I mentioned...
The bit that bolts to the clip on is this

This bolts on to the bottom of the aqua box

And one of these arms

Great thread guys, I've been looking at exactly the same mount myself and its good to know it won't be a waste of money!
My beautiful phone became ugly
The invisibleSHIELD for the original Tp2 doesn't fit the device simply because it's much and much taller, obeviously desined for another device.
I ordered one for my original (unbranded) TP2 and when i tried to instal the back shield that was a big screw when i discovered it's too taller to fit my device (how can it happen ?) the upper part toward the power button was ok but the lower part toward the mini usb does not fit it at all, i had to use a scissors to cut the extra material with a very ugly and uncomfotrtable result
I had to make a hole for the hand strap near the mini usb as the original one in the shield was suited on the mini usb and i cut it with the extra part.
I think the invisibleSHIELD for TP2 is good but for any thing else other than the TP2 itself.
Sounds like you just got the wrong on or something..plus I wold not do a whole body one, just the screen!
I am sure
The backage i recieved has a white sticker on it that says :
HTCTOUPRO2FB
HTC Touch Pro 2
Full Body
I got the Zagg all around body shield installed at the local mall and it fits just fine
you are speaking about the original TP2 or the branded one?
I'll try to post some photos to domestrate the problem.
I wouldn't go with any other brand...

I had an one on the G1 which my wife has now. I have it on my Hero and TP2, just the screen cover not the whole body one. I have a black gel case for the TP2. Mine is T-Mobile branded and I wouldn't put any other protector on my phones.
To be honest though it took me 2 tries on the g1 to get it perfect and 1 on the rest of the phones. It is frustrating but if you scrape and apply at the same time very slowly (kinda like window tint) it comes out great.
One more thing I got the universal as the shop I had did not have one for the TP2, they said it was to new. It was rather easy you just line it up to a grid and cut from there.
here is my home made game clip for the dual shock3 ps3 controller that our note 3 will fit.
i have included the cad drawing in the RAR file so you can make the clips fit your case.
this is for wireless only as it covers the charging port. (((( thanks for the new root and six axis game controller app.)))
the pdf will print exactly what you see (make sure to do actual size in printing)
this is made from 1/2 inch cutting board plastic cut out on a metal bandsaw then sanded.
and it works great....

I have personal experience of two cases, the official one (which was flimsy and broke after 2 months from wear and tear), and the Poetic Revolution full body case, which I love the protection it provides but it makes the tablet too big for the iPega 9023 controller. The tablet is mainly for emulation gaming on the go, so I essentially turn it into a gaming handheld using the iPega. But as its on the go, it needs protection, at least for the screen.
Is there any cases out there which provide suitable protection while at the same time allowing the device to still fit in the iPega 9023?

I think its hard to find one. I assumed the official cover (being just a cover for the screen, and very thin) would do the trick.
I have a ProCase SlimSnug and I detach my tablet from the case to play with the ipega 9023.
I think it's very hard that you could find a case to use with the ipega, because it'd have to be a very thin case for the back and a very very thin cover for the front.
If someone comes with a case that you can use with the ipega, count me in.
I was looking for gaming accessories like the Saitake 7007X, but most of the manufacturers of this kind of device list a max of 6.5 in, and the S20 Ultra is listed as 6.57 inches
Does anyone have Saitake 7007X or other similar gamepad accessory that they like and confirmed works with the S20 Ultra's size?
Here you go.
It is a very! tight squeeze. It wouldn't fit on with my Spigen case on.
Works fine without it though .
S20 Ultra has specs: 76x166.9x8mm, so as long as the bracket can hold those dimensions (esp. the 166.9 length), it should work, right?
I know they make some of those controllers for smaller tablets, too - so maybe those.
I want to pick a set up, but waiting for other people to recommend something.
I'm using 8BitDo gamepad w/ the phone holder bracket for now, but the phone being so heavy throws off the comfortable balance since the gamepad is so skinny and light.
