A lot of folks would love a waterproof device. You know the drill! You’re all ready to show off your new smartphone during a poker game, lay it out on the table and next thing you know your buddy knocks your drink over and it consumes your device. You promptly grab your phone and feverishly attempt to dry it off with a hair dryer or above a hot wood stove (don’t do that!) or maybe even attempt the proper method and grab some white rice and remove the battery only to have to wait 48 hours to see that you have some serious moisture damage!
Well, that’s so yesterday and now you can actually protect your beloved device from such occurrences. Zagg has a new venture with HzO, a company with waterproofing technology that protects a device on a molecular level, shielding sensitive internal components by blocking the harmful effects of moisture and liquid. This is great technology but you can’t just send your device out when you are done reading this article and get it waterproofed as they are currently searching out device manufacturers so that the technology can be incorporated in your device upon purchase. Now that doesn’t help you with your current device but that’s where another company called Liquipel can help. For about $60 you can send your device to Liquipel who will waterproof your device and ship it back within a few days. That’s awesome and all but don’t get to excited yet, due to overwhelming demand their site can not process any new orders at the current time. However, keep your eye out if this is of interest to you as I’m sure they will get it all worked out sooner rather than later.
