Waterproof your gear
A new product known as the “Golden Shellback” is making waves - literally. It’s a special waterproof coating that can be applied to any device, rendering it safe for water. Your gadget will be placed in a special vacuum and will be coated with a special film that repels water, oil, dirt, sand, dust, and other materials.
What does this mean for travelers? Well, really, there are endless possibilities to how useful this sort of product could be. Taking a beach vacation? A sealed camera is safe from waves and blowing sand - even an accidental oozing of suntan oil which is particularly bad for cameras. Walking around London on a rainy day of sightseeing? Feel free to listen to your iPod while you traipse around, it doesn’t matter if it gets wet.
Or imagine the horror of doing some last minute touch-ups on your presentation file as you fly to a huge business meeting, only to have some oaf beside you flail his arms around, knocking his drink all over you - and your laptop! No worries if it’s coated.
Honestly, that would probably be my biggest fear for using a laptop while flying, that something would get spilled on it. A waterproof coating would be awesome!
Check out this video footage showing how well it works.
What do you think? Worth a try when it’s readily available?
