Probably the number one threat to iPhones is the dreaded “accidental toilet drop”. While all cell phones fear it, the iPhone is particularly at risk because users are often asked to shake the hell out of their iPhones when playing these games. It’s a recipe for “accidental toilet drop”-disaster.
Well, Cape Cod-based Northwest Maritime Institute has come up with some sort of crazy high-tech, vacuum-applied spray coating for electronics that can coat the entire device – inside and out – making it not only water-resistant, but downright submersible! It is called “ Golden Shellback“, and I like to think of it as Magic Shell for iPhones. Check out the video below to see an iPod touch that has been blessed with the spray crank out video from The Little Mermaid while underwater (very fitting choice, as Mermaids have got to be one of the primary target audiences for this).
