9 Waterproof Electronics Accessories To Take You To The Beach and Back
It's finally beach season, and for those who enjoy active outdoor pursuits, that means water sports. Whether you love a quick dip in the pool to cool off, enjoy a fitness-friendly paddle boarding session, or get a thrill from jumping on a jet ski, most (if not all) water-bound recreation is not tech-friendly. Even reading by the pool, you're one good splash away from a short-circuited cellphone. Luckily, the tech industry has both you and your electronics covered with its fresh crop of waterproof accessories. Here are my nine top picks for water-repellent accessories, so you can be wired-in, chic, and active all at the same time.
