If you worry about protecting any of your valuable electronic gadgets such as phones, PDAs, cameras, MP3 players and such from water while swimming, kayaking, fishing, or hottubbing, Beach Buoy is the solution.

Beach Buoy is a waterproof case that hangs around your neck. You can see through it on both sides so that you can still push the buttons and use the device even underwater.

It is guaranteed to a depth of up to six meters. With a quadruple ziplock seals folded over three times, it proves to be absolutely safe for even your most valuable devices. I have been a little reticent to try it with an MP3 player and snaking the ear bud cable out from the inside to see if it would still work. Instead I hooked up via Bluetooth so that no cables were involved.

The cost is $19.95, which seems cheap insurance to protect your valuable devices. It tickled me when it arrived and I found a colorful, inflatable beach ball in the package along with several bags of English tea. You see, Proporta is an English company, but don’t let that bother you. They ship inexpensively and promptly. Last I heard, they will ship anywhere for only $4.95 U.S.
