I use a 10 inch Android tab with Navionics for basic chart plotting.

Even for day sailing the battery life with the big screen isn't adequate - maybe 4 hours - so I'd like to run a USB C power cable in to the tablet - which is presently kept in an otherwise satisfactory aquapac case.

Are there any waterproof cases that allow touch screen access to a tablet and also allow a USB C cable through a waterproof gasket/port?

Many thanks.

Here's a confession- we've been meaning to get a waterproof case for 4 years and have got away with it - tablet just goes inside in rain and we have a long charging lead.

We do have 4 backups!

I WILL do something about this over the winter!

I have one for my Samsung 10" tablet but can't remember the brand! I do keep it powered by a cable to a waterproof USB Scanstrut Charge+ socket under the spray hood.

I use an Armour-X mount - waterproof and has a through connector for charging cable. DEVICE
You will also need a suitable mount - I use one which clamps to the grab rail around the binnacle and this works fine - the tablet just slides off the mount but is held firmly and angle can be adjusted. These kits are not the cheapest but they are robust and I am pleased with purchase having used for 4 years now.

I bought a waterproof case for my android tablet 4 years ago that was big enough to take a charging lead that has a 90 degree crank so the cable exits at the bottom corner of the box sealed with mastic. I keep it plugged in while navigating. The case still works very well. Unfortunately I can't find the original link but here is a link to the identical case I have https://brunei.desertcart.com/amp/p...waterproof-case-for-tablet-7-8-7-8-inch-black and hope you can find a 10 inch version
