Buggerproof 770
 

I travel so much for work lately to remote places that the last thing I want going down on me is my Nokia 770. Whether it's bunny hunting in the deserts of Iraq, diving in the South China Sea, firing sea-sparrows from a Ayatollah class, or just standing in line at the local Panera bread company, I need my 770 to be as tough as me and go wherever I go.

That's why I decided to "buggerproof" my 770.

Looks harmless enough.

Mating ring with the 770.

Fits...barely. I needed to make about 2mm more room on each side of the 770 to accomodate the velcro strap that holds it into place. This whole case is made from glass-impregnated ABS, so using an xacto knife would've taken forever. Being a cobb-salad sort of fellow, I decided to use my bench grinder and a file.

This Nokia just barely fits...that directional pad is probably going to be hard to use.

The power button is dangerously close to the velcro strap. A precise fit is needed here, otherwise the strap will hold down the power button while you tap the touchscreen and when that happens...you're in a world of hurt, mister.

Staying on target.

Case sealed. Completely waterproof and impactproof. Doesn't look half bad from the back either.

Finally...ready for life's little misadventures. :p

Is that the Otterbox 1900 or?

I want to know more about the gun :)

Looks great! Yes, what model is that?

Jeff, thanks for the compliment. It's the Otterbox model 1900-20.

You bad macho, you. I knew the situation was bad out there, but I had no idea those Saturday evening trips to the Mall had gotten that dangerous...

Excellent! Looks like something Darth Vader would use :)

I mean Darth Vader in the original trilogy. Not the new films where he was a *****.

NNNNNNOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!

Beam me up Scottie, there's no...
