Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Today is the deadline and one of my letter writers just told me he cannot upload his letter today. What do I do?
A: Deliver what documents you have. Candidates who deliver their nomination letter, CV/publication list, research statement, and two representative articles before the September 15 deadline will be considered to have met the deadline. Candidates should use Interfolio to submit delinquent letters of support as soon as possible.
Q: I submitted my materials through Interfolio, but have not received a confirmation email from Sloan.
A: Once you submit your materials, you should receive an email from Interfolio confirming that your materials have been successfully submitted. (Make sure to check your spam or junkmail folder if you don't get a confirmation.) You will not receive a separate email confirmation from Sloan. Don't worry. If Interfolio confirms your nomination was submitted, it was submitted. We have it.
Q: I am an administrator who is processing a nomination on behalf of one of the faculty in my department. Should the Interfolio account created be in my name or in the name of the nominee?
A: The account should be in the nominee's name.
Q: Can more than one email address be associated with an Interfolio.com account?
A: No.
Q: My appointment is in an engineering department, but my work is in basic chemistry, am I eligible?
A: Yes. Fellowships are awarded for scholars whose research is in one of the eight SRF fields. If you're in an engineering department, but doing chemistry, you are eligible for a fellowship in chemistry. If you're in a business school, but doing economics, you are eligible for a fellowship in economics.
Q: I am more than six years from my Ph.D., but I stopped my tenure clock for a year to have a child. Am I eligible?
A: Yes. There are four exceptions to the requirement that eligible candidates must be no more than six years from their most recent Ph.D. They are:
- Military service
- Change in field
- Child-rearing responsibilities
- You are currently serving in your first faculty appointment and the appointment began on or after September 1, 2012
If any of these apply to you, you are eligible. In your nomination letter, your nominator should include a paragraph indicating which of the above exceptions apply in your case and explaining your circumstances.
Q: I requested a letter of support through Interfolio, but the letter writer never received the request email. What do I do?
A: Tell the letter writer to check his or her junk mail folder. Aggressive junk mail filters occasionally flag emails from Interfolio.com as spam.
Q: I nominated someone last year who did not receive an award. Can I re-nominate that same person this year?
A: Yes.
Q: When are the winners announced?
A: February, 2015
Q: Do the "representative articles" I submit have to be published?
A: No, but it is rare for successful candidates to submit papers that have not at least been accepted for publication.
Q: Does my nominator have to be my department chair?
A: No. Any senior researcher who can speak to the quality of your work may nominate you.
Q: Does my nominator have to be someone from my department?
A: No, any senior researcher who can speak to the quality of your work may nominate you.
Q: Can my former advisor write a letter in support for my nomination?
A: Yes.
Q: What are the Selection Committees looking for in a support-letter writer?
A: Unfortunately, the Foundation does not advise on whom a nominee should or should not select as a letter writer.
Q: If I applied for a Sloan Research Fellowship last year and am re-applying this year, can I re-use my nomination letter and letters of support from last year?
A. No. Though the same persons may nominate you or write letters of support on your behalf, they must submit new letters. This ensures that your nominator and letter-writers continue to support your candidacy for a Sloan Research Fellowship.
Q: Is there a limit to the number of nominations per department?
A: Yes. No more than three candidates may be nominated from any one department. There is no limit to the number of nominations per university.
Q: Is there a limit to the number of people I may nominate?
A: No, though no more than three individuals may be nominated from any one department. NOTE: Anyone nominating more than one candidate may be asked to rank these candidates at a later stage in the selection process.
Q: What's included in the field of Ocean Sciences?
A: There's no complete list. Marine biology; chemical, physical, and biological oceanography; and marine geology all qualify as ocean sciences, but other fields could qualify depending on the nature of the work being done. A mathematician working on how to model changes in ocean temperature or phytoplankton populations would qualify, as would a technologist working on developing better tools to study methane processing in seawater samples. In general, natural scientists working to advance our understanding of the oceans are eligible for a fellowship in ocean sciences.
Q: Are there any font-size, margin-size, or other formatting restrictions on the one-page research statement?
A: No, but selection committees do not tend to look kindly on applications that try to skirt the one-page length limit through creative font and margin sizing.
Q: Can the one-page research statement be over a page?
A: We will not disqualify a nominee because the research statement exceeds one page. Selection committees are reasonable, but the committees ask for a one-page summary. Give them a one-page summary.
Q: Does the one-page limit on research statements include a list of references or can references be put on a second page?
A: Try to fit them in the footnotes of page 1, but if you can't do it, putting references on a second page is acceptable.
Q: Are there any specific content requirements for the one-page research statement?
A: No. The point of the research statement is to permit candidates to briefly describe their current and future research, since publications lags can sometimes make a CV a less than perfect guide to a candidate's work. There are no specific content requirements.
Q: Can I see an example of a research statement submitted by a successful candidate?
A: Unfortunately, no. Research statements submitted by nominees are confidential.
Q: If I receive a fellowship, when is the official start date of the award?
A: Awards are announced mid-February, 2015. The $50,000 fellowship begins September 15, 2015 and is for a two-year period.
Q: If I receive a fellowship, can I use my fellowship for research expenses incurred before the September 15th beginning of the grant?
A: Yes. Though the fellowship officially starts on September 15th, fellowship funds may be used for research expenses incurred during the summer immediately prior to the fellowship start date.
Q: Can I use fellowship monies to supplement my summer salary?
A: Yes, but salary support for Fellows during the summer is limited to a maximum of two-ninths of established academic salary. This summer research period is to be regarded as two full months.

Purdue's six-year tournament streak came to an end in 2013 as they struggled to a 16-18 season after winning at least 22 the last six years. Purdue struggled offensively all season, ranking 231st and 237th in points per game and field goal percentage, respectively, out of more than 350 teams. They were led in scoring by three guys who have eligibility to return in Terone Johnson, A.J. Hammons, and Ronnie Johnson. They'll also benefit from getting guard Kendall Stephens, a four-star recruit, joining the team this fall. The St. Charles product will look to improve the offense. A majority of this Purdue roster is on the young side, so while a year with no Tournament appearance may have been necessary, Purdue is currently building up towards the next big winner.
The Purdue Boilermakers operate under Coach Matt Painter at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana. They have never won an NCAA Tournament although they made the title game in 1969 and were a pre-tournament Helms champion in 1932. They have appeared in the NCAA Tournament 26 times including every year between 2007 and 2012. Purdue won the 2009 Big Ten Tournament and the Big Ten regular season in 2010. They have sent 32 players to the NBA including Brian Cardinal, Carl Landry, Brad Miller, E'Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson, and Glenn Robinson. The iconic 'black and old gold' has certainly left made a mark on college basketball. Get your Purdue basketball tickets from Gold Coast Tickets!

Hey, guys! My name is Odie, and I'm one of those glass-half-full types of dog. I find joy in the simple pleasures of life, like snuggling with my person and eating treats of any kind. Love and food...what more do you need? I'm a 6- or 7-year-old pug, I weigh a little over 20 pounds and I am almost totally blind, but that doesn't stop me or dampen my spirits. I'm a healthy and resilient dog who is both confident and social, and I love to share affection.
Mutts Matter rescued me on Thanksgiving eve, when a kind soul reached out to them for help. I'm a casualty of divorce, and then my dad no longer wanted me, so he wouldn't let me in the house. I was living outside, tied up to the porch and exposed to all the elements. This was a pretty scary situation for a sight-impaired pup like me, but luckily my mom reached out to the rescue for help, while some of my neighbors watched out for me, giving me food when I was hungry.
As you can imagine, I wasn't in the best shape when I came into rescue. I had severely dry eyes from the wind and cold, skin and ear infections, my teeth were neglected, and I was in pain from eating something that cut the inside of my mouth. My dad would throw my food on the ground to feed me, and without being able to see, I must have accidentally chewed on something sharp and cut myself. After some antibiotics, drops for my eyes, a little dental work, and some good old-fashioned TLC, I'm doing great now. My coat is back to being beautiful and, as you can see, I'm still quite handsome. Just check out my pics!
Even though my home life was tough, I've always known there were better things in store for me and never lost faith in people. I hit the jackpot in my new foster home, and really love it here! I have an awesome foster mom named Barbara who nursed me back to health, two pup siblings who keep me company during the day, and a dog walker who takes me out for my daily adventure. I really love to go on walks and get very excited when it's time to go out in the world. I don't go very fast because of my limited sight, and I have a heightened sense of smell, so I like to make sure I sniff everything on the ground and explore.
My foster home is a very safe and nurturing environment, and my foster mom uses a baby gate to block off access to the stairs and lets me wander around on the main level during the day. I'm great with my routine and very predictably on schedule. My foster mom knows when I need to go out to potty, and I've had no accidents in the house. I'm a very neat and tidy pup, and during the day I just mull around or hang out on my favorite cushy blanket and wait for her to come home. As soon as she comes through that door and I hear her voice, I greet her with an excited sigh and stay right by her side. She affectionately calls me the Velcro dog because I love to jump up on the couch and burrow in right next to her.
My favorite thing is to be near my people, and I'm making up for some lost time. Having an owner who works from home, or is home a good part of the day, would really be the best fit for me. I'm not a hard dog, but I do need someone who will watch out for me and make sure there are no dangers or obstacles in my path, and continue my regular dental cleanings and eye drops to keep me in tip-top shape. A fenced yard would be a good idea, and I'm fine with older kids—just means more humans for me to love on.
If you have some love to share and a little extra space in your home for a special pup like me, I can be your most loyal, lovable companion.
To learn more about Odie, go to the Mutts Matter Adoption Page and fill out an application, or you can contact Suzanne at email@example.com.

Trayvon Martin's Mother Joins in Call to Repeal "Stand Your Ground" Law
January 17, 2013 | WMFE - The mother of Trayvon Martin joined several Democratic state lawmakers in Tallahassee Wednesday to call for the repeal of the state's so-called "Stand-Your-Ground" law. The move to repeal the law comes nearly a year after neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed teenager in Sanford.
Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, was flanked by the Democratic lawmakers who've filed legislation to throw out Florida's law that says people can use deadly force if they feel threatened.
"As a parent, I just don't quite understand how someone can be a make-believe cop, pursue my son who had every right to be in that neighborhood, chase him, get in a confrontation with him, shoot and kill him and not be arrested." Fulton said.
Nearly a year ago, on February 26th 2012, Fulton's son Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was eventually arrested 44 days after the shooting.
He is charged with second degree murder but is claiming self-defense under the state's "Stand Your Ground" law.
"Something has to be done." Fulton said. "We have to put our collective minds together, we have to strategize and we have to make changes to this law"
Governor Rick Scott commissioned a 19 member task force in April to review the law but during the six months of traveling the state the group was heavily criticized for being packed with those who support the law.
Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll, the chair of the task force, responded to critics in May.
"It is a mischaracterization for anyone to presume that this taskforce is not balanced" Carroll said.
In the end, the task force didn't come up with any major changes to law, it mostly asked for the law enforcement community to conduct a further review.
Democratic Senator Dwight Bullard of Miami is co-sponsoring the bill to repeal the 2005 "Stand Your Ground" law saying the task force failed its job.
"We've been waiting for far too long and seeing too many cities to watch this dog and pony show to go around this state to come up with no recommendations." Bullard said. "So we're taking a pro-active stance, right now."
The original sponsor of "Stand Your Ground", Republican Representative Dennis Baxley of Ocala says the law does what it's supposed to and that is protect would be victims from violence.
"Look at how many people it's prevented them being a rape victim, prevented them from beating." Baxley said. "Or being in a situation where they lost their lives."
Baxley says he believes the law helped reduce the number of violent crimes in the state since his bill went into effect.
"I understand the grief, but when you look at the public policy question, it's clear that what's happened is we've seen less violence and we've prevented a lot of victims from violence."
Baxley says he's not hearing a lot of support for a repeal of his law, but he's open to discussing and looking at ways to make improvements.

Nope and nope. First off, nice segue from "convention" to "law." A convention is an agreement, a law is something completely different. If you must change the meaning of the phrase under discussion in order to try to make your point, you've already lost. Secondly, Sizemore specified exactly what the convention was, and it wasn't "no hostile troops can be sent via portals." So there you're just making stuff up and calling it reinforcement for your position.BLANDCorporatio wrote:It's not a law, so Parson's not breaking anythingOberon wrote:Remember, convention? Following or not following a convention does not make a person evil, unless you're playing bridge.Kyrt wrote:Hes gaming the system, pushing the rules as far as they can. This appears to be a game world which follows game rules. What he's doing is akin to playing by the rulebooks literal word.
There's two things here: A) is portal usage law or not, and B) does it matter?
For the first, look at what Sizemore says. It sounds as if he's not making this rule up as he goes along. There must be some agreement between everyone who has a portal to the MK that no hostile troops can be sent via portals.
Sizemore first says that "you don't attack through portals." He constantly corrects his use of the word "can't" to "don't", because Parson called him out on the difference between the two words. Chastised, Sizemore then used more precise language to define the convention:
Sizemore wrote:You don't send a caster from the Magic Kingdom to enter a city you don't control!
Plenty enough to work with here.
Parson isn't a "caster from the Magic Kingdom";
Parson isn't "sending a caster from the Magic Kingdom" to do anything, he is going himself;
Even if Sizemore and Maggie came with him, Parson is still not sending casters from the MK to attack through a portal, as neither Sizemore nor Maggie are "from the MK."
Here is the full force of the convention, as far as can be determined from the text so far: There is some form of agreement that a Side not hire a caster from the MK and then send it to attack another Side through that Side's portal. That's it. Nothing is said and no agreement exists about "hostile troops." Why would the participants in the convention even conceive to express this, when it is known to them all that no hostile troops can enter the MK and live?
Hell, Parson isn't even violating the convention, unless it has a scope well above that which has been described.
You are welcome to hold that opinion. I choose to hold the opinion that Parson's moral justification for ignoring a convention which does not even apply to him is the saving of the GK expeditionary force at Jetstone. I further believe that were Parson to not act as he must to rescue them, that lack of action would be both morally unjustifiable and, as Parson himself described it "a fail."BLANDCorporatio wrote:Even if there isn't an explicit treaty anywhere, it's an abuse. The fact that something is not illegal does not make said action morally justifiable.

The Baylor Bears are set and ready to take on the 2012-2013 college basketball season. The Bears will operate under head coach Scott Drew at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. Baylor had one of their best seasons last season as they went on to a 30-8 record and a #3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Their high-powered offense led by 2012 NBA draftees Perry Jones III and Quincy Acy was a force to be reckoned with. They would run up the score and score in bunches, scoring almost 75 points a game, a high number for a team in a major conference. This season the Baylor Bears will look to for new recruit Isiah Austin to lead the way. Austin is the #2 incoming center in the nation behind Nerlens Noel. He is 7'0 and played his high-school football at Grace Prep in Arlington, Texas. Austin is the centerpiece to Drew's new offensive. Previously, he had relied on the sharpshooting Bears to coast their way into the NCAA Tournament, and now he will have to switch gears to develop a postman. The Bears are no stranger to the NCAA Tournament, in the 2009-2010 season the team was picked to finish second to last in the Big 12 preseason. However, to many peoples surprise, the Bears made a run to the Elite 8, losing to Duke by single digits. Last season, the Bears made it back to the Elite 8, falling to the eventual National Champion in the Kentucky Wildcats. This season the Bears hope to make a run at the Final Four by sprinting up and down the floor with their youth. The #4 recruit in the nation Isiah Thomas hopes to be a star and Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action. Grab the best seats for the Bears home and away games right here at Gold Coast. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all of your 2012-2012 college basketball needs!

Overboard vs Aquapac in iPhone 4 water torture test - Amazing Case [give away]
If you had to trust a water-proof case to protect your precious iPhone 4 during a torture test, which would it be -- the Overboard or the Aquapac? That's the challenge they gave me for the latest episode of TiPb's Amazing Case, our hardcore, case vs case tests of strength, durability, and performance.
We figure if either -- or both -- of these water cases could survive being thrown into the deep end and taken through the high-pressure car wash then they can survive a dip in the tub or day at the beach.
Follow on after the jump for the details, and the give-away!
Aquapac vs Overboard
Truth be told these two cases are very similar. Both are clear plastic that retains the capacitive touch so you can keep using your iPhones while they're inside. (At least when you're out of the water -- no capacitive touch can work when you're under water). This means you can still make calls, record video, check the web, etc. with ease.
The Overboard has a black outer lining that does conceal part of the iPhone which I found kind of annoying. The Aquapac is clear all the way around allowing you to be able to see the whole screen of the iPhone and use the camera without having to worry about the view being obstructed.
Both the Overboard and the Aquapac have hard plastic seals that close tightly and securely. They do allow a small amount of water to get caught in the closure though, so you need to open the cases with caution or you risk dripping water on your iPhones. And yes, both cases are equally hard to get iPhones into and out of.
Lanyards are included with both the Overboard and the Aquapac so you can hold onto them or tie them to something to make sure you don't lose them in the water.
It should be mentioned that the Aquapac has a three year warranty which covers the phone if damaged in proper use (would a carwash count?). The overboard has a 1 year warranty but this does not cover the phone. Thanks Andy!
Fight! (and give-away)
So which water proof case was the most protective? No spoilers! You have to watch the video above for the results of our Overboard vs Aquapac ultimate iPad scratch test.
When you're done leave me a reply in the comments below and tell me which one you'd rather have protecting your iPhone 4 -- Overboard or Aquapac -- and where exactly you want to take you iPhone 4 that it needs water protection.
We have a one of each to give away, so make sure you leave a valid email address so we can contact you if you win. (US mailing address required for delivery).
Ready? Fight!
There are 233 comments. Add yours.
OMG I need one LOL .... I would love to have the Aquapac! I need it for when I am in the hot tub (I have a nasty habit of dropping my phone!!!)
So it's a tie? They are both probably better than what I do which is wrap it in cling wrap with a bit of silica gel.
It would be nice if you showed a bit more of the video and picture quality. It seemed from the car wash video that the first one had better picture quality through the plastic.
More objective picture tests would have been nice.
The picture quality between both phones is almost exactly the same though I have had the Aquapac longer and used it all the time so it may have needed a bit more of a cleaning before shooting.
OMG! I would of been so nervous! I am a lifeguard and I have to walk around the pool and this would be very handy to have so I can protect it in case I have too jump in the pool. I love listening to my music on my iPhone 4!
I like the Overboard because of the name and color.
Much better than what I do! I double zip lock mine! :P
I want the overboard case! Forgot too add it to my previous post. Sorry Georgia!
I'd have to say the Overboard. Looks a lot nicer and probably feels better in the hand.
I do love to go surfing and having the overboard waterproof case would be epic. Imagine, mounting the iPhone to the end of the board and catching in wave footage! Why would I rather have overboard? It has a minimalistic design and no horrible blue edges. Just nice and black.
Overboard for me :P
Was it only me that couldn't pay any attention to the phones and cases at all?
I'd like the Aquapac because I have a pool in my yard, and I can't tell you how many phones have had to be replaced because friends that come over to swim end up splashing or dropping in the water. It looks like it would be perfect for our pool parties.
Overboard, for me. To protect it in case my children decide to take a bath with it.
I'm drowning!! Please help!
I would have to say the Overboard looks nicer, but this comment concerns me, "The Overboard has a black outer lining that does conceal part of the iPhone which I found kind of annoying". What exactly is concealed? Is it screen area? Any of the camera?
Looks like most people are interested in style, which the Aquapac doesn't look like it has much of. Another feature that would be nice to see is a small, permanent air chamber that would help the bag float.
I would go with the Overboard, it looks nicer and it seems that they both do just as good as far as protection. I would love to use this in the ocean while I go surfing, I've been looking for something like this!
I would like the Overboard so when I'm in my pool I don't have to create a towel fort under a chair with an umbrella over top.
Ok, so they are equal, but what about the price? Are they equal? Different colors? A way to attach it to say, a cooler?
I would use the Aquapac at the beach. That would make great videos.
That was just fabulous.. I never thought that these cases could actually do the job..I really need one now..!
Hey I want one.. For free! Hope I win!
Who's the girl?
Like the looks of overboard better
I'm in love.....& not with the cases
But the cases are very cool
This case would be sooook useful! I wannit soooooo bad! Please!!
I think I could get some great use out of the Aquapac. While Geocaching, I often have to wade through creeks and streams or even get in a canoe, so I've had some close calls in the past with water and iPhones.
Would luv aqua pac I recently bought annual pass to aquatica sea world water park and this would be great to used in the park and take pic and video plus would be awesome to be able to go to sea world too and take pic and video of shamu with out worrying about the phone
I live in Florida which it means that I'm surrender by water, when. I'm not in the pool I'm in the water parks or in sea world or universal studio and they have amazing water ride and I always worry about my Iphone 4 would be great if I win the aquapad
I could really use the Overboard for when I take my son to the water park.
Georgia will u marry me. ?.....lol
I would have to go with the Aquapac since the Overboard conseals part of the iPhone. I love to fish both from dock and on boat and always have iPhone with me. I've fallen in water once trying to untangle my line so the aquapac could save my iPhone!
I could totally use an Aquapac! Besides my 4 kids who love to take off with my phone, I volunteer at a Boy Scout camp and spend my weekends on a lake! Usually I just leave my phone on shore, but this would be so handy!!!
Aquapac for nature and kayak use.
Some of you guys need to "unplug" your computers for awhile...seriously.
Another Floridian here, with a swimming pool, on a saltwater canal at the coast and also like to SCUBA dive! And since it's summer we have a moat at the end of our drive and the street is currently a river. :)
Actually I would probably use something like this the most at the beach videoing and photographing our dog catching frisbees and learning to swim...
So I vote for the Aquapac!
Overboard for me, I prefer their styling over the aquapac!
My wife is 5mo pregnant with our first doughter and one of her favorite places to relax is at the pool. So I'd love to be able to keep her phone safe , lol :)
I need the overboard for out on the boat!!
Or...there is a almost free option. A ziplock baggie. They work great and capacitive (and resistive) touch works just fine through it. Great for the tub / beach / etc. I think these companies selling waterproof cases figured that out and started selling expensive sandwich bags.
Thank goodness.. no Rene in a Speedo ;-)
Georgia is a goddess.
Aquapac to keep my baby dry while kayaking the lakes and rivers here in Smoky Mountains of TN.
overboard so i can take showers and listen to music
Off to the Bahamas in October for my 25th wedding anniversary. I like the Overboard design....rather not use a baggie....LOL
Aquapak! For the tub! Ahhhh nothing like relaxing in the tub while reading and playing with my phone!
I like the Overboard, as it seems like a Much nicer product. Aquapack looks like a blue ziplock bag haha After going to Disney this year, I was thinking an exclosure like one of these would be good for a trip where the environment is a bit wet and sandy.
I like both but the best part of the review is the lovely georgia. Can you do all of them in the pool?? Haha
Overboard for my up and coming fishing trip to FL! Let's just hope we don't need it! =\. Thanks tipb!
Aquapac is very cool, I'd like that one please!
I'd have to go with Overboard. I know video claims a tie but it just looks like its more sturdy for the long haul. I would use it for pool time with my 3 yr old daughter who LOVES being in the water!!!
All things being equal in the test, the aquapac appears to allow less constrictive movement as well as an unobscured view while stored. Having lost three iphones to the sea as an offshore fishing captain, once from falling overboard, once from being pushed off a dock, and once from it falling out of my front shirt pocket while pulling a fish over the gunnel, I am long overdue for a case of this type. My vote goes to Aquapac.
i'd take the overboard, it looks cooler. i'd take it tubing to harpers ferry VA!
I vote for the Aquapac and its unobstructed view
I love the aquapac! I'm at the lake every weekend on my seadoo and must have my iPhone with me in case of emergency! I worry that no matter how careful I am my phone is going to get wet, there's not a dry place to keep it! I could really use the case every weekend to keep my iPhone 4 safe!
I go to a water park all the time, this would be great to have!
I'd pick the Aquapac, but whichever one you have more of is fine with me.
Fingers Crossed
I would have to def. Go with the aquapac....I've been looking into getting a waterproof case for my iPhone 4 for a while now. I spend a Ton of time in the water surfing and diving as well as going to the local water parks and it would be awesome to be able to record video while swimming with sealife!!! I def. Wanna win one!!
Looks like they both held up equally well, and without close ups on the cases themselves, they look too similar to make a choice. It seemed they open slightly differently, but that wasn't clear enough in the video.
Glad both was a tie so you didnt get a water damaged iPhone 4. I love filming and would love to film under the waves at the beach. See if I could film some sea life. So I would want the Aquapac so I dont have to worry about the view getting messed up.
Overboard for me. I'd use it when I go camping and not worry about getting caught in the rain.
More or Georgia in a bikini :). Oh yeah, great review also.
I would love the aqua pack. Would work great for when I am out hiking or fishing.
I'll rather have the Aquapac even thought they both do their jobs it just looks much better because of the light color.
I would like to win one so i can record all the fun while at a water park with the nephews, and use it for all the occasions im near a pool,beach.
Overboard! Better name :p but I def need one when I go fly fishing! Every time I bring it out to capture that trout goodness I think it'll be the last!
I'm gonna pick the aquapac. Lost my first iPhone 4 to a lake in Ontario, Canada in late June, so I'll have to get one of these before I go next time. :)
Aquapack. For the beach!!!
Aquapack & Georgia for the beach !!!
I would like the aquapac and I would take it to all of the vegas pool parties. Already lost a phone that way....
Aquapack,is my choice, its hurricane season down here in florida, and its always raining here in jacksonville,with this case i can rest assured and know my iphone 4 wont get damage or wet when im working in these wet conditions,Aquapack you're my superhero for my iphone 4, come protect it !!!!
Aquapack! Great for when I go fishing
I am a big canoer/ kayaker and the grey would be more noticeable/ easier to find if it tried to visit Davy Jones locker. Also, it would draw less attention from prying eyes at the beach, lake, etc. They are pretty much the same, but Aquapac would be my choice and the materials look to be tougher Thanks for the review.
It's a toss-up for me, either case is fine. And I agree: Georgia & both cases & plenty of coconut oil at the beach! At night. By a campfire. On Maui.
I'll go with Aquapac, I've owned them for years without a hitch (knock on wood). I figure I could always enjoy a spare that I can stash in my car in case of an unsuspected downpour.
I like the aquapak better. It has a little more of a minimallist design, and it doesnt have the black all over it, allowing more sight of the sexy iPhone. I would like to use the case to take better pictures of underwater pics during my wife and I's next trip to Mexico. When we went in May, we took a walk under the ocean and we were able to see and pet stingrays. The opportunity to catch great pictures and HD video of that would be awesome.
I would say the Overboard just because it looks more sturdy and secure. The latches on the case give a solid click when it opens and closes and that's what I would want to hear before taking my phone into the water!
Aquapac all the way!
For days by the pool.
I'd go with the aqua pac so I can use Chatr in the shower. ;)
Aquapak looks like a better case.
I like the aquapac! I'm going on a 7-day cruise to Mexico soon and will be doing a tons of swimming and snorkeling. A water-proof case should help me capture some great underwater pictures and video.
Overboard because it looks stronger and it's black
Aquapac for sure. I would always leave this in my bag - for the pool at the gym, playing in the rain... And would love to take it with me on my trip to Mexico. The water is sooo blue, I bet the vid would look amazing!
Aquapac gets my vote for looks.
Both definitely work well... I choose Overboard. Can't believe you did a car wash test... how scary. Anyway, Aquapac looks like a it should hold a sandwich.
I would go with the aquapac because it is clear. Would be awesome to be able to take my phone when canoeing without worrying....
I vote for the Aquatec, who would want to cover their iPhone?
Overboard looks better IMO. Also, it's German, for "Whales vagina"
aquapac because it is all clear.
I'd have to go for the Aquapac on this one... Screen real estate seems to be much more. It'd be great for taking dive and snorkeling photos!
I have to say, Georgia has some big B@lls to do a test like that. No way i am putting my iphone in the pool or driving in through the car wash like that. I have to say though, my daughter drooped her ipod touch in the pool once. I opened it up and left it in the sun for 3 days to let it dry out and put it together and it works. I love Apple stuff.
I like the aquapac better being that it is clear. I would take it to Kennywood and Sandcastle and i wound have to leave it behind in a locker for fear of it getting wet on the water rides.
Aquapac it is, despite the tie. I want a full view of my phone without the black casing.
Thanks for the reply, Georgia. (I hope this doesn't disqualify me, as I am leaving a second comment since the first was just to ask a question and there does not appear to be a way to edit my comment...)
Since it is a tie, I think I would have to go with the Aquapac because I looked at the big pictures in the TiPb store and it does look like the Overboard does indeed obscure some of the front of the phone. As for where I would take it? Into the shower to watch morning podcasts or listen to music as well as in the pool.
Overboard looks great!
Like the video says it's a tie! I'd like to have either! But the overboard does look more sturdy!
Never had either one, both look great! If I had to choose, I'd go with the -Overboard. I'm a sucker for packaging. Would love to take my iP4 with me and my boys when we go surfing. A shot in the tube would be so rad
I really like the overboard. Im going to Hawaii in a month so I would be nice to have something like that for under water video. BTW more Georgia would be great :)
Like the look of the Overboard, so it gets my vote. Definitely come in handy with my 14 month old throwing everything she finds into the toilet or bathtub ;-)
Definitely the Overboard. Would be quite useful for taking videos while rafting :)
I died laughing when I first saw u were taking it through a car wash. I'd take the overboard. Looks like a much better build.
I like the aquapac better because it's completely clear and doesn't have the black outer lining. I completely need one of these because i attend many weddings and have ruined a number of phones by having a bit too much to drink and jumping in pools with my phone in my pocket. Pity huh?
Great review. Awesome products. Either look solid, but got to hand it go the look of the Aquapac. Wish I could have a hands on with both. Thanks!
There were cases in that video?
Georgia, you're KILLING me.
I'd take the Aquapac personally if I had the choice. And as I've already destroyed a camera by taking it into the pool accidentally, I think this would be perfect for me.
I'll take the Aquapac to protect from my kids @ the pool.
Sorry but you can put your iPhone in a Ziploc bag and it will stay dry and cost a hell a lot less.
I'm liking the overboard, and I live in New Orleans...so I need it to go outside.
Overboard cause I'm always at the pool with my kids. Plus a take it on the boat at the lake (people love hooking into my wifi). Not to mention all the football games this fall. I'm sure there will be rain at one or two.
Aquapac! Yippee!
I'd use it at the beach and surfing.
Aquapac for me! I need one for two reasons - first, we have a pool and I'm clumsy. Can't tell you how many times I've almost gone in when working around the pool w/ iPhone in pocket. Yikes!
Second, Whitewater rafting baby!
Action speaks louder then the words. I think the fight will be now between the color preference and my choice is Black.Just kidding both are great. Thanks for the generous offer.
Aquapac so I can watch a movie when I jump in the bath with peace of mind
I like the aquapac most for the look and I really need one because I am firefighter and I loose several phone for wather damage. Great review!!!
Aquapac since it does not have the black outer. I'd take it back country camping!
I'd do the aquapack, because the lining is black... Like my soul
I'm completely with you, Derek (#4). Been reading TiPb a lot more since Georgia joined. ;D
I'd love to take the aquapac into the shower.
I'd go with the Aquapac because it is all clear. This is very handy for us motorcycle riders who get caught in the rain...
As Georgia said, they both are very similar. I wouldn't mind owning either one, but if I was forced to pick one, it would have to be the Overboard. I think I just like it's looks a bit better.
Oops, forgot to say where I'd use it...I go camping and hiking all the time. It's usually near a lake, river, or waterfall. I just hiked about 10 miles along some mountain creeks to see Bridal Veil Falls in NC this past weekend.
Please Married me
I bought an Aquapak after my car was stolen while surfing. I now take my electronic key with me while surfing and it works great. I am still pondering whether to take my iPhone4!
They both look pretty good to me.
Nice Georgia. I like the Overboard one.
Personally, I'm liking the Aquapac. The Overboard just doesn't seem to have that design aesthetic that iPhones crave. I do a lot of walking in the rain (not by choice - blame Mother Nature).
Taking phone calls/recording video while in the bag. Does it sound ok/record audio ok?
This has to be the best test video ever! Great job, great review!
I wish I'd had either at the beach last weekend....
I'd choose the Aquapac for my wife...
Wednesday she rolled down the car window and showed me her dripping wet iPhone she had placed in the cup holder, only to realize there was a clear punch cup with water vying for the same real estate.
Hopefully I wont be out another $199 with the help of either of these two cases.
Other than the black border they seem the same so I would choose the Aquapac for the completely clear plastic. I need a waterproof case for when I travel to Japan to see the underwater "pyramids."
I like the overboard better. It would come in handy when I go on my cruise next month.
the OB Aqua reminds me of a condom for some reason.. ahem.. :) so i'd rather have the Aquapac please.. mainly because it is more versatile :)
I would love the Aquapack, it looks great, and would be awesome for my bath time routine, I'm always afraid of my iPhone falling into the water, I can't afford a NEW PHONE! lol.
Aquapack! I could really use one because I'm frequently wakeskating, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and air chairing. I am also swimming and if by the beach or pool alot. It would be really nice not having to worry about my phone getting wet while on the boat because we like to use my phone to film us doing tricks. Also we use my phone to film skiing and it would save slot of worry there as well! Thanks!
I like the Aquapack! Looks a little less obtrusive. If i had one i would use it to record around the pool and definitely at the beach trips with the fam!
I would just like to say that I have a pool and Georgia can come swimming anytime. Oh, and both of these cases looked like they worked well in the carwash..didn't really notice the cases in the pool test.
Yee haw! A great review to help decide which for me... and it's the Aquapac! I should really get one because the only reason I have my new iPhone4 was getting caught in a rainstorm hiking with my 3GS. This would be the perfect compliment to justify since I already take the thing everywhere, including pools, amusement park water rides especially! Good stuff guys & gals
Aquapack looks like it is easier to see and use being it's all clear. But both did the job.
the things that bloggers do to their iPhones...
I would choose the Aquapack because the main reason I'd use my iPhone underwater is to take pictures - and you said that one can be better because the view of the screen is not obstructed. Whatever makes it better to take pictures wins, so that's Aquapack! I hope I win too! (I'd probably use the Aquapack to go snorkeling...would it work with that? Hmmm....I wonder if the iPhone flash could be used underwater to see the fish!?) Thanks for the contests!
I'd take the aquapack, like the grey color, it matches the ip4 antenna. Use it to go to the beach and not worry about phone getting stolen cause it will be on me. Also good for when it rains at theme parks.
So side note- anyone else's heart stop seeing these tests?!?!
I'll take either. What is their depth rating? I'm a scuba diver and have been dying for a way to be able to take my phone down so people topside cand text me info on what's going on up there!!!
Overboard beats the aquapac
Aquapac's warranty is 3 years, and they cover the phone itself if it gets damaged. Overboard is 1 year and doesn't cover the phone.
I'd use the Overboard to take pics/movies of my soon-to-be 1 yr old daughter. She loves my aunt's pool!
Aquapac for the win! Is use it for shooting storm/lightning footage like there was nothing to it! No more standing behind a window indoors!
Overboard wins it for me. Looks like a better case. Heading for the pool next week would be a nice addition.
I'll take the aquapac!!
The aquapac would make me much less stressed while at the pool with my kids :)
They both look great, but I like the look of the Overboard a bit better. I would love this for next month when I will be riding Splash Mountain!
Both functional - but I like Overboard a teeny bit better: it looks like even though there is black, the plastic is a bit clearer.
I'd take it skiing and hiking - never know when you'll be getting wet.
I'd go with the Aquapac. & I'll be using it to take some great playing-in-the-sprinkler photos.
They both look good but like the Aquapac - anyone know if you can get them in the UK?
Will this competition including international members I know most don't (unlike my old favorite Crackberry.com)
I prefer the Aquapac - it looks nicer to me. Great for trips to the beach or amusement parks!!
I would have to choose the aquapac as it would be a great addition for taking videos of the waves and surfers near the water
Great review. You are much braver than most running their devices through the carwash :)
I'd have to go with the Aquapac. I live in Florida so there's the beach, tubing on the rivers, pools everywhere, and of course there's always the heavy rains and hurricanes. Yup, it would be great to have for my new iPhone4. Got my fingers & toes crossed. Thanks for the chance.
Nine comments and no one brings up a sexy woman in a bikini?? I'll go there....
To hell with the cases, owwwwwwww!!! Wolf call!!
I aquadpac I will be a life guard teaching little kids how to swim and i dont want my iphone to slip in and im out of luck.
I have used the aquapac while snorkeling with a small digital camera and had no issues. Excellent product and I'd have no reservations about using it to protect my iphone in and around water
Aquuapac since Mike has used the brand and the warranty for aquapac is so comprehensive.
I would want the Overboard because it has a nice black look to it and it's got the nice closing mechanism. I would use it in many different situations, such as going to the beach and being able to use my iPhone on the sand and in the water. I can also freely take pictures and videos at the beach and in the sea without being afraid of the water. Another situation where I might use it is at the water-park. Everyone loves to take photos and videos at water parks, but at the same time extremely afraid their electronic devices might get wet. This case would absolutely solve my problem!
I like the look of the overboard better. I would use it when i go hiking, swimming, and just everytime it rains and i am going to be outdoors.
Both look great, but I like the fact that the entire screen is visible in the aquapac. Would make me a whole lot less nervous when bringing my daughter to the pool or beach.
The Aquapac please! Need one for the pool!
Can they build a water proof case that doesn't look like a plastic baggy you carry around to pickup dog poo?
PS, the photo for this article is my new Lock Screen
the aquapac is much better looking. I would use it since I live in Florida and hit up the beach all the time. I wonder how the cases are with sun glare?
You should give one away to someone that uploaded wallpaper to that contest. :P
Overboard is nicer looking in my opinion
I would like the Overboard. They both seem nice. I would find it useful next time I'm on a Carribean cruise or on a 3 day backpacking trip. It'd be nice not to worry about my phone getting wet and not having to resort to a ziplock snack bag, like I usually do (although those are a nice solution if you have no other alternative).
Your video is pretty awesome. I could have used the Aquapac at Canada's wonderland this summer.
I would choose the Aquapack since they have a three year warranty. I run offshore power boats, and a phone could be the posible lifeline in the unlikely event of a rollover. Currently I double bag in Ziplock bags. I have lost phones to the water, by either me falling in or the phone falling out of it's pouch. I was the first to loose a Motorola 8000s in 1986 according to the Motorola sales rep. That phone cost me $2972 back then.
..... Im sorry what is the product your reviewing again..... Gorgia Gorgia Gorgia
I'd Like the Aquapack to use because I go boating a lot and I have lost my iphone overboard
I like the Aquapac. I could use it to safely take pictures of my catches on a fly fishing trip to New Mexico with my iPhone 4.
Definately would take it with me when Seaweed fishing.
Not sure if the contest has ended, but if not, I'd take the Aquapac. It seems it would be more conducive to underwater pictures, which is most important for me when it comes to a waterproof case.
I would like the overboard and i would like to take it underwater in a lake i go to.
Being an avid kayaker, Waterproofing for almost anything taken along is a must. If I were to have an AquaPac, it would make life so much easier, not having to worry about losing all control of my precious iPhone 4 on the rolling waves of Lake Superior, would be a asigne lifted from a mans shoulders! Cheers!
Overboard, definitely, I'd take my iPhone to Captiva Island, off the coast of West Florida, I'd love to be able to take my iPhone to the beach with me.
I really like both of them but I prefer the overboard! I have in-ceiling speakers in my bathroom and the sound with my Iphone. I need the overboard case so I can switch tracks when I am in my baththub or even my shower! :)
The Aquapac would be my choice. The fact that it has a 3 year warranty and that the case is clear all the way around makes it top the Overboard. Would be great to have for any water scenario. I don't like taking my iphone 4 anywhere where there is a body of water. A must have for when I'm at the pool, beach, or lake. It would be nice not worrying about my phone going overboard.
these cases are dum why would u want then in a bag?
Wohoo I like the overboard.
Love the Aquapac! Used on my minivacation in August to South Padre Island!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L8ogPxw-U&feature=youtubegdata_player
since both Aquapack and Overboard performed well on the pool and carwash test, I would go by looks..and I prefer the look of the overboard case. I would put my iphone in it to protect it from water when I am kayaking on the bay...and good to know if I tip over my phone will still be protected.
I'd have to go with the Aquapac so I can take pictures of my splash-happy daughter by the pool with much less stress!!
I like the overboard, more my style. Thanks again Tipb for your great giveaways.
I'd like the Aquapac please. I would really like to to try it out at the beach with a wetsuit and a pair of waterproof Bluetooth headphones! ;^)
I prefer the aquapak...I am out on the boat every weekend here in beautiful Key Largo FL...want to be able to safely snap all of the lobsters we bring up, all of the fish that we catch, my hunky honey as he gets back in the boat...all without worry of hurting my phone.
I would have to go with the Aquapac since it is clear all around. I would use it when I am surfing so when i get surrounded by sharks i can call someone to help me. I surf in trestles right where there where two great white sharks spotted. here a video f the sharks in the area http://vimeo.com/14054518
This would be nice for my rafting trips.
Oh the overboard for me pwease!
Although I like the looks of the overboard my vote is for the Aquapac. I like the fact that you could use both cameras with it and the warranty sounded like the best of the two.
I an real inpress with the AQUAPAC, I do alot of fishing and I all most had my Iphone 4 in the drink
I want one!!!!
I want the aquapack!!!! It would be great for the pool and the bathtub, that I use regularly.
Overboard for me. Aside from it's functionality, it wouldnt be too hard to find when you accidentally drop in it in lets say a vast pool or something because its black.
I would prefer the Aquapac - both because it is completely clear, and even more importantly - the 3 year warranty that covers water damage to the phone.
I can imagine using this while fishing, especially wade fishing...
Shoulda compare the 2 products against ziploc bag!
i would prefer the aquapac! so i can take it to the base of Niagara Falls!!!
Aquapac would be my choice.
I already own the Aquapac. I purchased it earlier this year after doing some research first. When you are out in the Hudson River in a kayak and need to check the time or use your phone in an emergency, owning the Aquapac seemed like the reasonable and likely choice to house my iPhone and camera!
I'm in love........and it's not with the Aqua Pac.
I'd love the Aquapac. This would be great for those hot summer days at the beach. I also like the fact that I can still use the phone while it is in the case.
I would like the Aqua Pac
I would not actually use this for water specifically. I go to Penn State and I will need something to protect my phone in the cold snow and still be able to use it, especially at football games.
I'd certainly keep them that my car to have it handy wherever i go wether it is for surfing, going to the water park (water slides, wave pool), wakeboarding, snowboarding (that snow getting inside a pocket will melt and could really well mess my phone! I bet that would make my GoPro Hd Hero (wearable camera for xtreme sports) jealous, but I could use them both to get different angles while filming.
I'd pick the overboard because of the look.
You know what else would work is a plastic ziplock bag.... which is substantially cheaper...
Aquapac all the way for my snorkerling adventures :-)
After owning an old-school aquapac to protect my old PocketPC, an aquapac for an iPhone 4 would be just the thing to keep my latest navigation tool clean and dry. The old one has spent 5 years traversing Australia's deserts, rainforests and harsh Cape York, without wearing out or through, keeping the our insiduous red dust and tropical rainforest humidity away from my device. The Picasa album on my website shows some of the places an aquapac 4 iphone is likely to visit if left in my care...
I would rather use the Aquapac because I like that it has a larger clear area to see all side of the iPhone! I would use it at the Beach and Pools in the Summer and and while shoveling snow in the winter.... :0)
You really should change hosting companies. Your blog seems to be down about half the time I go there.
After getting my iPhone 4 wet and replacing it I ordered both the Otterbox Defender for extra protection and the Aquapac. I wish the Aquapac was a little larger so I could place the phone in the Otterbox in the Aquapac for ultimate protection. I prefer the Aquapac. Thanks.
I'm not too sure if either one will work in oil & water environment (refinery). Would love to test it out.
I wonder how an Otterbox equipped iPhone would fit inside these cases?
very outstanding, ive also found http://www.kidderminsterconfusedcomputers.co.uk/ a usefull source of information like this!
Check out the larger Aquapac case "Small Whanganui Electronics Case (348)", if you use the Otterbox Defender.
See http://www.aquapac.net/worldstore/water-electronics-small-873-0.html
I think I am going for the Aquapac too. 1 for iPhone, 1 for iPad. The OverBoard iPad case is substantially dearer...
Thanks so much for your tip. Off to Hawaii in a week to snorkel with my iphone in an Otterbox case, and spent some time looking for the info you gave. Cheers!
like to see a review of the iPad waterproof cases?
overboard looks nicer, but I'd get the aquapac because if the warranty.
I have the overboard and it's amazing. Going fishing in open water. You have no warry talking on you phone through the case in ocean spray. You can text and use all the features on the phone through the case. Only one side of the case is part blacked out for the back.
[...]here are some links to web sites that we link to simply because we think they may be really worth visiting[...]
Thanks for your own effort on this website. Ellie takes pleasure in participating in internet research and it's easy to see why. We all learn all of the compelling form you create vital strategies via this website and as well as welcome participation from website visitors on that topic and my girl is truly being taught a great deal. Have fun with the remaining portion of the new year. You have been carrying out a tremendous job.
I am getting started with a new adventure hobby... sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, off shore in South Florida, in a small Trimaran Sailboat (Windrider 16). I want to bring my iPhone 4S with me on my adventures but don't want it to get ruined ! I want to have my music and GPS apps available while sailing, but am concerned that if I take it with me I would be risking it to the great Atlantic ! Can you help me? Sure would appreciate it !!! Thanks, Ken
What a stuff of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable experience concerning unexpected emotions.
I do enjoy the way you have framed this matter plus it does supply me some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from everything that I have personally seen, I just wish as other opinions pack on that men and women keep on point and in no way embark on a soap box of some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this fantastic point and while I do not necessarily agree with it in totality, I respect your viewpoint.
Thank you for every other informative web site. Where else may I am getting that kind of info written in such a perfect manner? I've a challenge that I'm simply now running on, and I've been on the look out for such information.
Hello, Neat post. There is a problem along with your website in web explorer, might test this? IE nonetheless is the market chief and a large element of folks will miss your excellent writing due to this problem.

On December 26, Vicente Soto, 25, of Kirksville stole a white stretch limousine and headed south. Soto lead authorities on a three-county pursuit where he was stopped by a spike strip in Livingston County. Soto was taken to the Macon County Jail and was charged with tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest by fleeing, DWI, possession of drug paraphernalia and careless and imprudent driving.
According to the Macon County Sheriff's Department, a judge ordered Soto a temporary special release on Friday for a doctors appointment in Kirksville. The suspect was picked up by his mother and was supposed to return by 5 p.m. Soto's mother called the Sheriff's office at 5:15 p.m. saying she had lost her son.
Deputies apprehended Soto on Saturday afternoon after receiving a tip of a subject walking along the railroad tracks near Elmer.
According to Sheriff Kevin Shoemaker, Soto is currently held in the Macon County Jail on a $50,000 cash only bond.
There will be a preliminary hearing in the Main Chamber Courtroom at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Every color of the famous Kingman turquoise mine are represented in this pendant enhancer as an ode to the beauty of the gemstone. Vibrant blue, blue green and olive green stones are inlaid in sterling silver for a pendant enhancer that combines the many colors from the Arizona mine for a beautifully styled piece that matches any outfit. Pendant enhancer measures approximately 2-1/2" long x 1" wide and has a hinged bail. Mined and made in America.
Take a journey to the turquoise mines of Arizona with Carolyn Pollack's Newest collection. Set in 14K gold and sterling silver, these turquoise designs hail from two Arizona mines. While Kingman nuggets are bright blue and green with black matrix, Sleeping Beauty is a vibrant blue color with no matrix. Some pieces feature both types of turquoise creating a unique and genuine look.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Porsche® MSD 6AL Ignition Control Box 1948-2013
- Multiple Spark For Cleaner Burn
- Smoother Power
Heres a theory almost anyone can buy into: more sparks per combustion cycle help extract every last bit of energy from your fuel. Theories are fine, but weve seen a lot of them disproved in the real world, so we tested the MSD 6AL multi-spark discharge CD. On our chassis dyno, our 912E gained a bit over 10 more horsepower after we installed an MSD6AL 909926 CD. That was more than we expected. On the track, we installed a 909926 on a 912E, and the driver was able to cut a full two seconds off his previous lap times. In fact, he set a new class record. MSD has exceeded our highest expectations and we found other benefits beyond the horsepower increase. You also get a smoother-running engine and improved throttle response as well. The way it works is shown in the graph above. Instead of one spark, the MSD unit sparks continuously through 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation to burn all the air/fuel mixture. The 909926 features an adjustable rev limiter you can set to 6000, 7000 or 8000 rpm. Adding the RPM Module Selector allows you to adjust the limit from 6000 to 8200 in 200 rpm increments. The 909926 can be used on all 12-volt Porsches, is street legal in all 50 states.
Note: Cars with electric tach need the Tach Adapter. MSD ignitions require hi-spark coil's. For All 12 Volt Cars.
