These guys know how to use the video medium to demo a product.
Since this is a boat group, the question is how long will it keep out
salt water.

Put it in your pocket, jump overboard swim around a few minutes and
see if you can still dial 911. That is the real test.


There *is* a waterproof case around for iPhones, but the one in the demo
I posted isn't it. There's a case you can actually take snorkeling.

iPhones especially need to be in a protective case. The front and back
are...glass.

I'm more likely to drop a phone on a hard surface than drop it in the
drink. I do have a boating buddy, however, who in one season lost
*three* cell phones because he fell off the dock where he keeps his
boat. Too much single malt is my guess.
