Default Waterproof Pouch WP-320

Anyone tried this Waterproof pouch?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=271017216379

Comes with both a lanyard and armband. It's made for the Galaxy S3 and it has a window on the back that allows you to take pictures while the phone is in the pouch.

I ordered one. Will review it when it gets here in a couple of weeks.

I've seen the same thing on dealextreme and some other sites. There are some color options as well.

Looks nice, I just hope it keeps the phone dry.

I second this. Best value for a beach bag.

Not sure if you guys are kidding or not. I don't think you'd take your phone inside a Ziploc bag into the water and it didn't have a lanyard did carrying around your neck or an armand for biking or running.

So has anyone used the item I posted or I'm going to be the guinea pig with it?

Been using electronics in them since pagers in the early 80's. Never a failure, never a problem, and cheap.

Honestly not joking. I have been doing that for years (started back when people didn't try to scalp you for expensive bags for your phone.)

they have everything i want:
cheap (if it gets worn, i can afford to toss it)
full visibility (i can see if water gets in, unlike ones with non-transparent parts, that can hide water that might have gotten inside)
positive sealing confirmation (yellow and blue make green!)
holds sammiches!

Now, if you need a lanyard... then maybe a sandwich bag is not for you.. unless you want to duct tape some string on it.... but for running, and biking and such i don't want my phoone slapping around.

if you want something to keep it handy without using pockets, get an armband, and put the phone in the baggie, and then in the armband. secure, and cheap as heck.

lets cost it out:
a cheap armband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=arm) : $3.50
a single ziplock (gotta be a sealing one, not one of the fold the flap ones...) $.06 (i rounded up)
total: $3.56

win.

I really just want to know if anyone has used this particular pouch and how they feel about it. I'm not looking for alternatives at this point.

i think what these guys are getting at is that if youre going to trust your 600 dollar smartphone to a chinese ziplock bag, you may as well just get a ziplock bag.

I used this one snorkeling all day during my cruise and it worked great. I used it all week. Put it in bathing suit cargo pocket and looped the string through the hole in my pocket and tied a knot on the outside so even if it came out of my pocket it couldn't float away.

Edit: I just noticed yours had an armband. Well if you are looking for something to swim with, the one I posted is good.
