Condensation damage the Note5?

[faith3935]

Hello. I ride my bike 9 miles a day 5 days a week for work and on several occasions condensation had appeared on my Note5 so I am wondering will condensation damage the Note5?

Yes, condensation can certainly damage your device

Fudge! (>_<) I'll have to buy a rugged Android phone and leave my Note5 at home.

Or get a case

I could use my Poetic Revolution case as I'm currently using a Seidio Surface case.

I was just the other day considering picking up a watertight case. Came across this one on Amazon (I didn't get it, so I can't speak for it's quality) but it caught my eye as being a rather thin and non-bulky case.

I thought about getting a water-resistant case but I had one and it failed the water test.

Not sure how you carry your phone while riding your bike but if it's in a bag or pack you could keep it in a freezer zip bag. It's not pretty but it works. (Like a poor mans water tight bag) I have used this when on water rides or out in the elements/Inclement weather. if you want additional moisture protection drop a small silica gel pack in the bag.

I normally place my Note5 on a bike mount. I could do that as I carry a SOG backpack. I also use a Pebble smartwatch but definitely need a good set of Bluetooth ear buds so that I can keep my Note5 in my backpack

Suggestion OP... I've got a Note 5 on my bike mount. No ear buds. Keep yourself alive, Ditch the ear buds, put your phone in a zip lock, in your pack, and arrive safely. Too many crazy texting drivers that will harm or kill you. You need all your senses to ride safely. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion . My main purpose for using Bluetooth earbuds is to listen to music with one earbud in only. Oh yeah! Especially riding your bike at night. (>_<)

Take another suggestion... for your safety. I've been riding bikes for well over 55 years, started young. Currently ride Waterford RS33, Campy Record. Along with motorcycles for 44 years. It's dangerous on the roads. The texters, drunks, stoner's, speeders... they don't care about us. I got into accident, four years ago, broken back. Still hurts. Be careful! And at night, lights... front and back. Did I say, be careful? Not trying be pushy about safety... it's dangerous on the streets. Take care!
