Works pretty good. Will work better with a bigger tank lol! My 10g is so small to move it around.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/26/zugusage.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/26/2a2e5use.jpg

I don't know, it's your box, not mine :lol: I'm a klutz. I would probably tip it over and send my iPhone to the bottom of the tank.

If I had the materials then don't see why not. What do you mean by euro brace? Like brace the box haha.?

Made an android size one and one for my buddy with an iPhone. Testing for leaks and its all good 2 go :)

Any interest for one? Could calculate costs and probably be around $10 a floater.

Wouldn't Acrylic be better? It's lighter and clearer then regular glass. It's like the viewing boxes at the LFSs. I made one out of acrylic for myself in fact, but I don't use my phone with it. I can float my box in my tank without any foam, not sure if the weight of a phone will make a difference, but you can just increase the height and surface area of the box to increase Buoyancy.

Exactly...Gluing Acrylic is way easier then siliconing glass. A piece of acrylic runs for like $3-4 per sq ft. or something like that.
