- lallysingh 17y agoSeriously. You can get bags designed to hold electronics for $10-$50. If you're not convinced, remember you'll have plenty of cash left in that $1000 for a spare unit.
- anigbrowl 17y agoI can't decide whether you're trying to tell us you're so rich you read in the pool or so busy you read in the shower.
- berntb 17y agoI get him... my girlfriend is dragging me off to a kayaking course this weekend. I'll probably have to spend lots of weekends lounging around in an archipelago this summer. (As others noted, there are zip lock bags. I'd not spend the double price or more, either.)
- berntb 17y agoI might add that a friend of my GF saved his life by being able to make a call with a mobile phone without taking it out of a zip bag. He said he'll check weather reports better on long kayaking trips. :-)
- mattmaroon 17y agoYou don't have to be rich to read in a pool or busy to read in the shower, but I'm a big fan of both. It's the only reason I still subscribe to the print edition of Economist and why they're always warped to holy hell when I'm done with them.
- jrockway 17y agoWould you give me $1000 for this zip-lock freezer bag I have here? (It is waterproof, doesn't block the screen, and lets you operate the buttons through it. Elegant it's not... but it will protect your Kindle from water and sand.)
- devin 17y agoThat's ridiculous.
- stcredzero 17y agosomeone will market it, though.
- Andys 17y agoIt isn't waterproof so much as splash-resistant.
- jrockway 17y agoThey seem waterproof to me. Immerse them in water, and the contents don't get wet. Just don't open the bag while it's under water, obviously.
- mattmaroon 17y agoI'm too afraid it would pop open with frequent use and I'd be out a few hundred. Those things don't stay sealed very well when handled. But yeah, something of that nature would work.
