It was only a matter of time before waterproof cases were made to protect those expensive smartphones.
Smartphone owners can't use their touch screens while the phone is in the case, but they can still plug in their earbuds and enjoy some music while they're swimming.
The Eco Pod is made from a water-and-shockproof polycarbonate shell, and the company says the materials ensure mobile devices will stay safe. It also has an internal storage compartment to keep credit cards, cash and keys dry, and a carabineer clip so swimmers and divers can attach their phones on a bag or belt loop.
The case costs $50, and is available at Grace Digital Audio'swebsite.
For iPhone users who want a similar case but exclusive to the Apple smartphone, th LifeProof is also waterproof to a depth of 6.6 feet and meets military specifications for drop protection from up to 6.6 feet onto concrete.
There are also several other waterproof cases on the market that work to keep water out of iPhones and other mobile devices. However, items such as the Eco Pod and LifeProof also offer the added protection against accidental drops.
As the mobile device market continues to grow, it may be only a matter of time before one of these companies figures out a way to protect tablets at the beach as well, which may also be a large emerging market. After all, if people can't immediately update their statuses immediately on Facebook while having a great day at the beach, did they really go to the beach, anyway?
