Here is version 3 of my climbing phone case. My goals in a DIY phone case were:<\/p>\n
\n
prevent dropping phone<\/li>\n
make phone photography quick, easy and safe<\/li>\n
protect phone both at belays, mid-pitch shooting, and in offwidths<\/li>\n
Be durable and light<\/li>\n
protect phone in a fall<\/li>\n
Not sound like a noisy cowbell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
During lead climbing, I clip a locker thru the top, so it’s sealed like a grigri.<\/p>\n
When shooting, I move the locker from the top aluminum tabs to the nylon cord.<\/p>\n
If I stop shooting, I drop the phone in the case. If I need more security, I can snap on the bungy cord closure. This is also how I carry it in my backpack.<\/p>\n
If it rains, I can carry the phone case upside down in my pocket or pack, it’s waterproof.<\/p>\n
This was a full day of work, plus 3 hours of welding. My buddy C is a nuclear qualified welder…he works on submarines. I can’t afford his rates so I agreed to give him one of my 3 hour plein air paintings in trade.<\/p>\n
I need to find a way to make them from ultra durable, crush proof plastic.<\/p>\n
