My sister got a galaxy nexus early this year. She was so proud of it she even showed me how the new Android operating system was. One day when she let her 4-year old son borrow it to play angry birds, she never thought, not once, that my nephew would submerge the unit in the toilet simply because he was curious to probably how the unit would react. The unit was so busted that it would be cheaper to buy a new one than have it repaired. Worst part is she has a 2-year contract with Verizon.
That’s really bad! Lesson learned I hope.
I use Motorola Defy which is no problem to water, but I never try to put my phone into water. I got just once my phone almost get into water when I am walk at seaside. haha, just once. By the way, the youtube video look interesting. I will research more about it later.

Even though I’ve been guilty of this myself, I do have to agree that it’s probably not to wise to take my phone to the bathroom with my. So far everything has been pretty good with me not dropping my phone near any water although I do tend to drop in on the ground a lot.
Hii,
Wish I had known about this when I drowned my phone on a camping trip. I think I ended up just getting a new one. Many people can not imagine themselves without their smartphones and I am one of them. This method can go a long way toward helping calm my nerves and at least I have an idea to protect my phone from water damage.
