Water Proof Case
I'm taking a week long trip in June. I will be using my cell phone as my GPS (Galaxy s4) I can't seem to find a water proof case that will allow me to charge the phone with the case on. I looked at Life Proof, otter box etc. Does anyone know of such a case??
Thanks in advance

I've got an iPhone 6 with the lifeproof now and previously had a I4 with the lifeproof for 2 years and it never failed me. The lifeproof cases seem to always be only compatable with the "stock" charging cord that comes with your phone. So that being said I'd recommend the lifeproof. It's really worth the arm and leg you pay for it.

Oh not if you like dropped it in a puddle or something but I think if you were just riding and it were raining you'd be okay. The case covers the area of where the charger goes into the phone so it's all behind the case.

Maybe y'all should take the time to visit the life proof site and read the item description.
RTFM, ya know? Doubtful you're going to find anything that's waterproof with any of the accessories plugged in.

iPhone 5 in a Lifeproof case with a RAM X-Grip mount. Lightning cable run out or the fairing, zip tied to the handle bar. All you have to do in the rain, is unplugged the lightning cable and close the water proof door.
It's been through many a rain storm since whenever the 5 came out.
If you plan on using your phone as a GPS and you are traveling to remote areas, make sure your app has maps downloaded to your phone so it will work when your cell signal disappears.

yeah man....did that before I posted. they don't specify if the case can be used with the power cord plugged in and STILL be waterproof. I know its a long shot to find one that is. Just thought there might be someone on the forum that found one.
