Thread: How can I secure my phone on the beach?

People like you are obviously too thick to use technology to your advantage..

but you still need to ask on a forum how to keep sand out of your phone.

are you so important, so invaluable, so insecure, so overrated that you cant be separated from your phone for an hour.

what is it with people and their phones, afraid to be left with only your own thoughts for company for 5 minutes?

I go to the beach at 10 AM for the whole day sometimes you fucking clown

you people, you head down phone addicts, you dumbed down zombies who just cant live without these things. you are worse than junkies, you buy into all that marketing nonsense sold to you by the phone companies just like the simpletons you are, like infants staring at sweets in a sweetshop, hands out, salivating grasping for more.

and for what, so you can have gps that tells you what you would know already if you lifted your ugly head and looked at a road sign, so you can take another stupid photo of a plate of spaghetti and post it on facebook, so you can broadcast another facile comment on twitter, or spend all day waiting for that fat bitch to turn down your offer of a macdonalds and a fingering after work.

like the braindead drones you are, you have become no more than pathetic slaves to the companies, pouring money into their unreliable, unnecessary trinkets, which you will only throw away and replace with a new model as soon as ordered to by the company.

as i said, you phone addicts just cant deal with being alone with your own thoughts for five minutes, you must have some silly distraction, something to take your attention away from your own thoughts, from the painful emptiness that exists in your heads down world, living in hope that someone, anyone, even a machine generated message from the phone company itself, brings to life the piece of plastic you spend all day grasping and fiddling with so as to justify your nonsensical existences.

the world has become pathetic.

See a lot of 'em out there these days...

trying to enter into conversation with people is a better way, although i admit that in thailand the one thing that is unobtainable is meaningful conversation.

The world is a better place with unlimited information at our fingertips.

Embrace the times, taxexile, it's for your own convenience.

Simply pop it into one of these.

Been on the BTS or taken a walk down the street lately?

In moderation it is.
I gotta agree with taxexile. These plebs are everywhere nowadays walking around with their heads down like zombies not looking where they are going and bumping into every fukker.
And what are they doing exactly? checking in on facebook or asking dumb questions on tinternet about where they can hide a fukkin phone on the beach ??? .

Good idea.

Yep, great idea, the products are fandabbydoubledozy and the fans are double dozy, so you're onto a sure thing...

10,000 baht? Worth the price to relieve beach phone stress syndrome!

I have lost count of the number of people who knock into me when i am walking down the street coz they are too busy on their phones. And, funnily enough, it's me that says sorry to them.

I want the Hello Kitty bag. I did look for one for my laptop but too expensive. May have a look in Scotland at Xmas. Where I shall not take the laptop and turn off my 6 year old Nokia. Family time is more important.

I had a 2006 nokia with GPS and a 2004 PDA - but in 2011 I combined them by buying an SGS 2

then 18 months later I decided I wanted the bigger screen and bought the note 2

I have never bumped into anyone whilst walking down the street and smsing etc - because that is not my use for the device

I cannot remember being bumped into either - this sounds like a common furphy used by the "get off my lawn brigade" to justify not having a smartphone because then they would have to carry their reading glasses handily with them everywhere.

My reading glasses are on a nifty little thingy hanging around my neck or perched on my head. Keeps my grey hairs out of my eyes.

youd think some bright spark could come up with a screen that obviated the need for glasses, like the diopter adjustment mechanism that they have on camera viewfinders.

good idea but you'd have to take your gigs off to look at your phone.

I'm the proud new owner of a nice shiny £600 Galaxy Note III and i really don't want to lose it.. I have previous history of losing smartphones in Thailand.


Few ideas already..

Bury it in the sand underneath my sunlounger.. (maybe someone will see it)

Get one of those portable safe thingies and secure it to the hair.. (maybe someone will see it and run off with teh whole sunlounger.. or hacksaw though the chair plastic

Why don't you buy a cheap smartphone? I have a Sony Xperia Tipo £80, does Facebook, Google maps etc. Leave the expensive stuff at home!
