Recently I'm having a tough time protecting my cell phone from rain. I end up making it drench in rain water. I have tried to search here in mobile accessories shop but couldnt find anything that can cover the cell phone completely from rain. I found some leather cases but they dont cover the cell phone completely. How do you all who use cellphone protect it from rain. When I googled I found someone suggesting some Zipper. I don't know what it is. Can you all help me please?

yes, simple give him (mobile) a raincoat .............

wrap it (mobile) in plastic polythene.

best available & cheapest

do it in transparent polythene so u can use it.. and some holes near mic and speakers....


don't say it looks cheap as I have not seen any better idea then this.

well my phone works great .......... in every season (nok 3500c)

Get the phone laminated or pasted...U can also take a scratch guard if u want 4 ur mobile 4m the market..This will provide some protection..To further protect it u can put it in a mobile cover..

I love my C702. :lol:
Dude I was asking for ways to protect my cell and not the model which you use.

NOKIA 1108 zindabaad
What's the Zindabad about? Is your cell waterproof?

Dude I saw the one exactly same as the picture you posted but this is little bigger in size for my cell phone. I'm not sure whether I will be able to get the same material for the size of my cell. Thanks for the info though!

last sunday on friendship day i went for a drive on my bike ALONE :D:p . it was almost about to rain so i wrapped up my N73 ME in a polythene bag and plugged in my ep-630 with it :D . within 5 mins i left from home it started raining heavily and i drove in the rain for over 2 hours listening to music :D :p . My mobile is still working after that :D:D:D :p

polythene bags are the best to protect phones from rains.

Search the forum, it has a tut that would help you recover your cell.

My Motorola L2 had got a spin as well. It started on its own when I checked it after a month. :D
