A Power Strip Made for Dunking in Water? Sounds Safe Enough
The Waterproof Power Strip by Water Circuits utilizes a special design and a protective material, which when used in tandem, reduces the electrical flow when doused in water. The power strip can be safely submerged in water for 2 hours and live to tell the tale. Though I have to admit, it’s me living that I’m more concerned about. I still don’t encourage keep this by the pool or tub. While the power strip might be fine for water contact,... Continue reading
AquaNotes: Waterproof Notebook for the Shower
I get some of my best ideas in the bathroom. Usually my time in the lavatory is spent trying to clear my mind from the stresses of the day. It just so happens that it’s these moments when I’m free to think and ponder. I usually forget most of my best bathroom material, mostly because there’s no way for me to jot down a reminder. The AquaNotes Waterproof Notebook allows you to take down stringent notes, maybe even write an... Continue reading
CleanKey Keyboard is Completely Submersible
Some people have weird needs. Don’t ask me why you would possibly need to type while completely submerged. I don’t think typing an essay will be at the top of your priority list if you’re either a.) swimming or b.) being flooded out of your home. But hey, to each his own. If for some odd reason that you want to blog from the bathtub, just because why the hell not, the Devlin Electronics CleanKey keyboard is waterproof and fully... Continue reading

It’s fireproof, waterproof and can pack 1.5TBs of data in the $349 higher-end model. This hard drive enclosure can withstand a room enveloped in flames for 30 minutes as well... Continue reading
Swim With The Monkees
I never really thought about implementing an idea like this but thankfully, Speedo and iRiver have already done the hard work for us. The Aquabeat Waterproof MP3 player has both an appropriate name and look. It can go up to three meters underwater and has a mind-blowing 1GB of storage. Then again, how much music are you gonna need underwater? With everything being waterproof, I tried to think of how you could possibly use this thing while swimming in the... Continue reading
Saran Wrap For Laptops
Summer is approaching, which means you’ll want to equip all your top-of-the-line tech gear with water resistant plastic sleeves to survive those long trips on your million dollar yacht. Like Vince’s custom zip lock bag he crafted with his own sweat and tears, it protects your gadgets from…sweat and tears; oh, also rain. While not completely water proof (due to the openings in the back to allow air flow), the plastic wrap provides more protection from afternoon showers than your... Continue reading
Come Sail Away With PSP
Try singing the title of this post to the tune of Styx’s “Come Sail Away” and I think you’ll find yourself mildly amused. Regardless, it seems for some reason, a random Japanese manufacturer feels that putting a piece of string around a ZipLock bag constitutes use as a waterproof case for your PSP. Would you buy this? Would you seriously take your easily-earned cash from selling pot to high schoolers and buy this “waterproof” PSP case? No and I’ll tell... Continue reading
Swim with your MP3 player, seriously!
Nu has been selling their waterproof mp3 player NU Doplphin in Taiwan for a while, but it has only been put in the spotlight when it gets exported to Australia. First off this mp3 player is truely waterproof, as it complies with the fairly stringent IPX7 standards. Secondly the inner-earbuds are silicone-made meaning that will stay in your ears even underwater, with the other end of the chord screwed tightly onto the mp3 player. Can you press buttons under water?... Continue reading
Floating iPod Sound System waterproofs your music – CES 2007
Summer might seem far away now, with temperatures well below the comfortable level, but these frigid months will pass quicker then you think. When the temperatures pull a 180 and become uncomfortably hot, you might want to just lie around the pool all day and soak. And if you don’t have a pool, at least in an iced bath tub. But what’s the fun of sitting by the pool if you don’t have your favorite tunes blaring through the speakers.... Continue reading
