| Even though RAM states the Aqua Box 2 Medium is for the HTC
Thunderbolt, you will not be able to use your power cord
when using the box. Due to the incredibly poor battery life
of the Thunderbolt, you need to be able to provide external
power, making this mount only good for very short trips.
Even if you could plug it in, you would have to remove the
back ball mount every time you wanted to take the power cord
out or you would have to have a dedicated power cord for
this box. You also need to use almost every pad that comes
with the Aqua Box to have the phone up against the clear
cover. | |

| I Use this for the iPhone 4s and it just barely fits with
the charger. I actually have a small 12v heater inside the
enclosure which keeps the phone warm while on the snow
machine.
The only thing they should change is the location of the 3
moisture holes, they are in the middle of the screen and
kinda block the view a little.
You can still use the touch screen through the thick rubber
cover it's just slow and difficult. | |

| I dont understand the reviews stating this doesnt work with
the iPhone 4. I have mine mounted and it works fine.
There is a thick soft rubber cover that makes your touch
screen react a bit slower, but I can use the touch screen
just fine. For me this worked better than expected for a
waterproof rugged mount.
I purchased this mount for my iPhone to use as a GPS on a
snowmachine, so even added an electric hand warmer inside
the case between two of the layers of foam. This is to
keep the phone slightly warm when its -30F. It was tricky
routing the power cable for the phone and heater and
getting the cables and adhesive backed foam in place, but
it worked out great.
The flexible screen is tricky to get set in place. Watch
the video, it has a lip on the outside that has to be
pushed over a small ridge on the plastic case.
The case will come with 3 different pieces of foam, so you
can get the proper depth to push your phone or gps against
the screen. My iPhone took the largest + the thinnest
piece for a good fit. I ordered extra foam but it was not
needed.
Also the guy talking about the aluminum hardware being
prone to oxidation, he probably doesnt know what hes
talking about. All forms of aluminum, even cast aluminum
have high resistance to oxidation or rust. The alumin
hardware is also coated with plastic for better grip and
smoother feel, really its a great product and system.
My only complaint would be the 3 small moisture holes that
are placed in the middle of the screen. I think these
should be left out, or at least positioned around the
outside, not in the middle. Plus this case will have an
air gap around any cables in the bottom, so I dont see the
purpose of those holes. | |

| Seems to hold up pretty well to water. Only problem is I
use my droid and it doesn't get any air flow in the box and
overheats fast. Also the hard case touch screen is hard to
use with gloves on. | |
