Waterproof your iPhone

Did you know that you can put your iPhone inside a plastic bag and still use the touchscreen? Yes, that’s right, stick your iPhone in an airtight ziplock bag, and you’ll have an instant and amazingly cheap waterproof case for your iPhone.

The context of this tip is actually in regards to cooking, First & 20 suggests placing your iPhone inside a ziplock bag so you can keep using it in the kitchen with dirty hands, not a bad idea at all, but the uses for this extend far beyond the kitchen… imagine the possibilities with a waterproof iPhone! Paint your house without painting your iPhone! Browse the web from the bath! Update Facebook in the pouring rain! Text your friends from the depths of the seas! Well, maybe not that extreme, but you get the point. This is a rather funny tip, but it’s actually really useful and I’ve already found myself using it a few times around the house. Obviously you should make sure the seal on the ziplock bag is very strong, or else your iPhone will drown.
