Liquipel Miraculously Waterproofs Your Smartphone and Potentially Other Devices

[B-Unit]

You have a point about that. That brings up the question of what happens in an area of really hard water or high mineral deposits, or even salt-water. How long will the components last with caliche build-up on them?

Well, as they said (in one or both vids, Im not sure) this isn't so you can take a swim with your phone, its to protect it from accidents. If you have an accedent involving salt or very hard water (or soda, anything thats going to leave residue) its probably advisable to 'wash' with relatively clean water.

Dust/grime buildup shouldn't affect the waterprofing as its a nano-scale hydropobic solution, meaning that even if a larger dust particle settles on top, the water is still not going to penetrate the nano layer.

Sign me up, I'm all about preparing my phone for the unexpected. Not that I'll ever drop my phone into water, but you never know.

apparently there are a lot of android (and probably iphone) users that use their phones while on the toilet - i can see this saving quite a few phones! although i'm not sure i would want to put it to my ear after i fish it outta the toilet - some things are better off "dead" after something like that! ;-)

but did you read the fine print at the end of the video it says the dont not endorse putting any electronic device in water and not to try to recreate what is shown in the film so how waterproof is this if they are already covering there backsides.

Wonder what would happen if you need to replace the battery or lets say a SD card inside of your phone?

No shots of the thing actually working while wet, those could have been dummy units.

No thanks, and we expect the lady to be a real scientist?

I have a coworker who went in the pool with her iPhone.

Not once.

Twice. back to back as soon as she got the replacement phone.

^and if you check out their website they are very clear to say they offer NO sort of guarantee or warranty. Furthermore their instructions state that even under minimal exposure to water you are supposed to power the device down and leave it off for at least 24 hours.... just a little bait and switch going on here...
