PROTECTING YOUR PHONE WHILE CLIMBING

[Reyaaz]

Any recommendations for a durable, phone case or an alternative solution to protect your phone, while climbing?

 

For a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, (for now), but all suggestions welcome.

 

Ideally the case will allow:

? Fingerprint sensor to be used.

? Power sharing to be used, to charge other devices.

? Wireless charging.

? IP68 protection.

 

Thanks,

R

Landrover defender cubby box ! WTF are you doing answering your phone up a tree!,

No call can be that important or you could leave it with your groundy to screen your calls

The OP was looking for something waterproof ?

I've found the door pocket of the van keeps my phone dry.

Obviously I dont know your occupation, could be needed for rec climbing etc not work...but Otterbox do some good cases for samsungs.

 

Otherwise, I agree, why you need a phone up the tree when working I dont know.

My iphones in an Otterbox with additional screen protector.
phones already waterproof from the factory.
Depending on the job it either comes up with me in a leg pocket or stays with the groundie when i remember.

I gave up taking my phone up the tree a long time ago. Partly through being fed up with marketing calls, and once I realised that most serious enquiries etc can leave a message. We use helmet bluetooth intercoms quite a lot now and I could link my phone in to this, but I just check for messages when we have a break.

A Griffin Survivor case doesn't help when the phone gets left on the back of the pickup the tailgate gets shut . . .with the phone in the way.

 

An Otterbox doesn't help when you leave the phone on the chippers tracks, then drive away.

 

An Otterbox doesn't help when you drop a dumbbell on it.

 

 

So yeah, in the truck is safest!
