I went for the medium so that I could carry a broad range of kit that i play with. I’m always trying out different phones so I wanted to guarantee they would fit. Ideally it could do with being a bit shallower because modern smart phones and car GPS units are so slim these days that you don’t need the depth that my particular box offers. One thing that I have noted is that you do need to be careful with the clear screen on the box. Its easy for the seal to peel back thus requiring you to carefully place the screen back in to the edge of the box.

Besides that, its just fine and for the money is a viable alternative to spending out £300+ on bike specific equipment.

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these to use with my Desire.

How have you found using aquabox along with the phone? Which size did you go for? and is it bulky? It looks a little bulky in the pictures?

Thanks

All of this kit is available from the RAM website. Just google your local supplier. One thing to note though is that not all smartphone screens will work through the clear screen of the box… An iPhone is a prime example. No touch screen. Ita not a real problem though because you just set and forget.

I also have a pretty cheap old Garmin satnav thats not waterproof. This works a treat inside the ram box… All in all, a very cheap work around to waterproofing a number of different bits of kit.

This is great, can I call all of the above from Ram?
Where do I buy exactly those bits and your solution is very cost effective.
