Not really bothered at the moment because we're still only doing around town type stuff but we do want to head bush at some stage.

I have the Garmin asus A50 and was looking at a waterproof type case to keep it clean, dry etc etc when we're out bush. Came across this:

Actually looks reasonably good and I can attach it with a lanyard, still see the screen etc etc. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of product? Do you use something else that works well? etc etc

Any information is greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance.

saw heaps of people using it - all happy

Got a different one.

and they make great cache containers for slipping into slots no wider than a log book

Can you use the A50 through the plastic?

Can't beat the good old Glad Snap Lock bag for convenience.

Sure does. Really well.

Thanks everyone

Both the one I posted and the one Covert posted say that you can still make calls etc while the phone is inside the bag.

What's the reception like when using this protective cover? Also I suspect you would go through batteries quickly due operating on the dark side.
Loved the idea though!
