Default Liquipel or HzO waterproofing?

Has anyone tried either? And by trying, I mean has anyone submerged their phone with these treatments.?

I wouldn't try it. Every time you remove the batter cover, you'll have to reapply. If you keep your phone in your pocket, who knows when that stuff will wear off the phone. Just look for a water proof case, if your afraid of getting your phone wet.

This is isn't true for Liquipel. Their technology works a bit different in the fact that they ionize the phone in a vacuum with the chemical they use for waterproofing by releasing the chemical then release the vacuum so it bonds itself to every nook and cranny the phone has, making a waterproof bond at (I believe as far as) the atomic level. Very interesting technology... Though, it does NOT make the phone capable of just being completely submerged into water without being affected. They still recommend letting the phone dry out if it is submerged, but the water itself won't affect much. Hence they're "worry free" motto.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... I was just curious to see if anyone had any personal experience with the products?

It's not like I'm particularly worried about my phone getting wet, but over the years I have spilled water/drinks on various phones. Fortunately, I've never had one suffer any kind of permanent damage.

Also I'm not too keen on stuffing a phone that has it's thinness as one of it's features into a bulky case.

I personally haven't, no, but people have been raving about liquipel since CES saying it's the best behind actually getting a waterproof case.

I also contacted them a few weeks back wondering if they will liquipel Skyrockets even though they're not on their phone list and they said they will. All you have to do is select a phone on the list and state that you're knowingly sending a different phone in the notes. I'm tempted to get it done, but I need to wait until I have a SR that isn't so jacked up with these screen lines.. Haha

Used otterbox defender before and it is very water resistant but no means water proof.
I have used it during heavy rain without setting the watermark-void my warranty trigger. Even with a waterproof cover not sure I would take it 3ft below sea level snorkeling.
But maybe liguipel and an otterbox commuter would be a lighter alternative

They did add it to their list on the site. Got an email about it. Listed as Samsung GS2 (AT&T). Know they definitely need to rename it, but they said that it's supported. And it's $60.

Default lifeproof

You guys need to check out lifeproof. Much better case, its waterproof; not water resistant like liquipel and aridion or p2i or hzo. This is the ONLY way to protect your phone from the elements.

demonstration at the beach for more information.

We resell these cases to small dealers @ $60.00. They retail at best buy for $79.99. We retail for $74.99 + shipping. 305.349.3678.
We have everything to do with wireless...
