If you are headed to the pool or plan to spend some time beachside this summer, you’d better plan ahead. Most high-tech gadgets don’t play well with water. Luckily, there is a variety of accessories that will keep your tech dry and safe no matter what sort of adventures you have.
Waterproof Smartphone Case
Whether you need protection for your iPad or you want to protect your Samsung Galaxy S6, you need a case for your smartphone that is up to the challenge, such as Otterbox. The company makes the best-selling cases in North America, built to withstand everything from slobbers to falls. Add a top-notch network like T-Mobile and you will have a strong enough network to access all the games and music you want while your technology stays protected.
Waterproof Headphones
If love listening to music, you need waterproof headphones. You can get wired or bluetooth earbuds, or earphones with built-in MP3 players to upload your favorite songs, audio books, and podcasts — and you are good to go, or swim as the case may be.
Waterproof Camera
When you love water, a waterproof camera is a must. Use it to take photos and video under or on top of the water. Kayak, surf, and swim, and record it all so you don’t miss a moment. You can find small cameras to fit in your pocket, or strap on a GoPro and go be adventurous. As an added bonus, a waterproof camera will let you take pictures when the weather is less than great, like in the pouring rain, so you can capture all your summer memories.
Waterproof Reading
If you love to read and you love the water, protect your e-reader with a waterproof case. Many are so waterproof that you can completely submerge your e-reader for a couple of hours before risking damage to your device. Imagine being able to dunk underwater with a snorkel and the New York Times and just be still for a little while!
Waterproof Laptop Case
Working by the water is great, but protecting your laptop when you want to jump in for a swim is a little more difficult. Protect your laptop with more than a towel. Grab a waterproof laptop case. Not only will it keep your laptop cooler than leaving it under a towel, but it will keep those inevitable splashes from touching your laptop. And many are large enough to store other items you may want to keep dry.
Waterproof Speakers
When you want to get the party started, get out waterproof Bluetooth speakers. You’ll be able to play your favorite music loud enough for the whole crowd, and if someone decides to do a cannonball into the pool right beside your setup, you’re covered.
Waterproofing Service
If you really want waterproof tech but want to skip buying a case, a waterproofing service like WaterFi may be right for you. You can buy an assortment of waterproofed devices directly from them, or send them anything from your iPod to your Kindle for waterproofing.
Summer is a perfect time to hit the water and connect with friends, but a soaked piece of technology can really ruin the fun. Don’t let it happen to you. Keep your tech dry with these helpful accessories.
