Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

mine has survived two or three wet L50s, in my shorts thigh pocket - so I *think* the case works

At the moment the case's screen is cracked and that lets water vapour in. condensation under that screen does not make the touch screen user friendly. It doesn't work very well when the phone has it's own glass screen protector on either.
Must get You gest to put a new case on it for me, I can't open it.

A few times I've carried mine without protection the screen has got wet, construed it as random touches, and eventually dialled my emergency contact number!

On short runs I use my thigh pocket but if it’s hot or along run I have started to get a mark on my thigh

Which, come to think of it, could be a phone issue! It is getting older! So ziplock bag/dry bag it is
