M-Edge unveils waterproof case for Kindle
Typically, gadget hounds shy away from getting their gadgets near water. We all know if you get your laptop or other electronic device wet odds are the thing has had it. M-Edge has unveiled a new case for the Amazon Kindle that encourages you to get the device wet called the Guardian.
The case is waterproof to 1 meter and is designed to float. Not only will it float to allow you to retrieve the device from the water, but it floats upright so you can read in the tub or pool without having to hold the device in your hands.
The navigation buttons and keyboard of the Kindle are still fully usable and are covered in a flexible material that seals them away from water. The device has a hinged lid sealed with gaskets to prevent water from getting in. The case will ship this spring and will come in multiple colors.
The Guardian polycarbonate waterproof case is all I need to get my Kindle on vacation to Goa. It won’t only protect your kindle against spillage, but it will make it float on the tub or the sea.
And on top of that, it’s waterproof down to one meter, just in case I want to take it from the hammock to a snorkeling swim. Because that’s what I really want to do while I’m snorkeling or in the shower: Read The Old Man and the Sea.
My Kindle will also remain fully functional, thanks to the flexible material covering the keys. If I actually had a Kindle, anyway. [M-Edge via Slashgear]
