A nifty new contender in the arena of waterproof electronics containers, DryCASE employs vacuum technology to keep your precious gadgets safe and dry. The science is similar to the vacuum- sealed, boil-in-a-bag spaghetti dinner you savoured on your last downriver overnight—DryCASE shrink-wraps around your camera, mp3 player or cell phone with the help of a one-way valve and small fist pump.
You can continue shooting photos and using buttons or a touch screen through the crystal clear, durable membrane. Tested to 60 feet, DryCASE comes with a buoyant armband and integrated headphone jack—an industry first—so you can listen to music through waterproof earbuds (available separately). Currently available in a small size to suit compact digital cameras, a larger case to fit items as big as a laptop is in the works.
