Waterproof Cases
It's about time they came out with this! Bye bye water damage...
This year’s CES expo in Las Vegas brought us the very latest in gadgetry, mobile and consumer electronics, helping form a trend for the coming year. Televisions are getting thinner, smartphones bigger and more powerful and rappers are going all out to showcase their new headphones but there also seems to be an obsession with waterproofing things.
According to a report by Pocket-lint, smartphone giants Apple and Samsung are looking at new technologies that could see their next wave of smartphones become impervious to water damage. The technology, called HZO, protects devices by creating a nano-scale film barrier “which has special water repelling properties once applied to the inside of electronic gadgets”.
This, followed by announcements by Fujitsu, Pantech and Toshiba, made for a pretty interesting development in mobile devices coming this year — they will all likely be waterproof.
Smartphone makers are tasked with leading the way with technological developments, making us believe we need a feature when the thought of it hadn’t even entered our minds, but is making smartphones waterproof what consumers really want?
The answer is of course yes, any smartphone user would love to be able to use the toilet (standing up or sitting down) without the threat of destroying their $600 iPhone 4S, but it’s something that should come as a default feature, not a unique selling point.
