Default Waterproofing - it's magic

Thought I would share this new idea - if this works it would be a nice $$$$ kiosk at the mall or airport.

Would need a lot more details before trusting it, starting with what effect it has on heat dispersion if it really coats all the interior components.

Logically, it makes little sense.

Once you plug in your charging cable you would break the "water seal."

Anyone interested in this product, snake oil, a bridge, or land in Florida please contact me.

I think it works - for the occasional whoops - my iphone recently went thru the washer.

Dried it in a bag of rice and in 48 hours it was good to go.

Agree with the connection points - but imagine all the other applications of a coating like this.

It certainly is possible - I told my daughter who is graduating college to find out more about the company.

Your post brings up an interesting point - if a watch pin for function does not compromise a water proof watch maybe the connection points could do the same.

It would add some costs to the product but so does buying a 30 - 50 dollar case every six months.
