Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have one for my iPhone as I use it as a GPS (CoPilot is the app), and i use a waterproof holder i highley recommend that will fit the Galaxy. It is on amazon, costs £18 or so, and is made by UltimateAddOns. Go on youtube and look for my channel on there, my username is CobbZ2007 - I have a video of the holder on there and a brief description. When i get home from work I will send you as link to the item and the video (at work atm!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mealexme Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 strangly enough i was looking at these the other day, http://www.mrbuybits.co.uk/storefrontpr ... =257517459http://www.buybits.com/product/8168.aspxHowever, are you sure that the touch screen will work through plastic and with gloves on? Because some phones like iphones seem to only work if your finger touches it, and doesnt work if you use your nail, so prob wouldnt work with gloves or stylus's etc. Someone told me it was something to do with the heat?

Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Here is the youtube link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMOSxXRI3k8Yes, it does work with the plastic and even with gloves. Completely waterproof, well recommended.Edit: I can see you have ordered the same one I have, nice one. Only one little tip, the rubber on the inside of the handlebar clamp wasn't very soft, so it didn't grips the handle bar too well - It stayed in place whilst riding, but you could knock it and it might move a bit sometimes. I used a small stretch of rubber from an old push bike inner tube wrapped around the bar, thinly, and its now perfect. Use it all the time!

AndrewJB Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cheers for that Tip il do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Its not necessary, but I cut up an old inner tube to use it as cable tidy stuff xD And just tried it, and it works even better now. Great bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
