Waterproof and Water-Resistant Accessories For Your Customers’ Peace Of Mind

Keeping valuable electronics dry has been a struggle since the beginning of the consumer electronics revolution, especially during the warmer months when customers are spending more time on and around the water. As more devices have become portable, the risk of a device interacting negatively with water has risen exponentially. The result has been a flood of new accessories onto the market that claim waterproof or water-resistance capability. From device cases and covers to wearable technology, Petra has the products your customers need to keep their devices dry and functioning!

Smartphone Cases and Covers

For consumers looking for basic water protection for the smartphones, water-resistance is generally sufficient. Commuters who spend time with their devices outside will love the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5” Folio Case or the Samsung Galaxy S 6 Folio Case from Urban Armor Gear. It’s featherlight and features water-resistant Frog-Skin material. This unique design makes the case easier to grip no matter the conditions. It also provides a layer of protection if the case comes into contact with water. Commuters will find additional value in the three credit card slots, helping to eliminate the need for a standard wallet.

Tablet Cases and Covers 

Finding quality water protection for tablets is increasingly important. As power solutions make it easier for tablets to live outside, they are especially vulnerable. For Microsoft Surface users, there are the Cyclops Series Cases from Trident. These powerful cases have a water-resistant mesh over speakers and vents, keeping moisture and dust away from the device. The bio-enhanced polycarbonate cover also provides outstanding drop protection. With its slim design, it won’t bog down users on the go.

And of course, there are a multitude of iPad cases that provide outstanding protection from water. One popular model is the iPad Air CE2180 ProGear Vault Case from Pelican. Pelican is one of the most trusted names in water protection. The exclusive ProGear vault cover with rubber edge seal, blocks out wind-driven rain, snow and dust, with a rating of IP54. The elastomeric copolymer rubber interior adds another layer of protection while simultaneously absorbing impact forces.

Headphones

Whether users are running to catch a train or to achieve their fitness goals, waterproof headphones are must-have accessories. For users who need headphones and a microphone, there are exciting options, including the Edge Sport Earbuds with Microphone from Ecko Unlimited. These stylish earbuds are sweat- and water-resistant, and their ultra lightweight design makes them ideal for college students and commuters who use their headphones outdoors.

The Surf Sound Waterproof Marine Ear-Hook Earbuds from Pyle go further, giving users IPX7 waterproof capability. That means they can function even when submerged up to 10 feet. With 3 pairs of different sized ear tips, these earbuds provide users with a custom fit whether being used on the go or in the pool.

Cameras

Photography lovers need plenty of protection too. More and more camera users are practicing their art outdoors in natural, hunting and watersport applications. Those users are looking for water protection and durability, and they will find it with the 20.0 Megapixel Xtreme 3 HD/Video Waterproof Digital Camera from Coleman. This camera has all the photography power it needs to be fully functional, even up to 33 feet underwater. The anti-shake stabilization feature and shock-resistance make it an ideal action camera for photography or video use.

Specialty Cases

For marine users, finding cases that add waterproof protection and additional functionality is a must. That’s why the Pelican 200-Lumen ProGear 9000 Light Case is such a valuable accessory. It’s large enough for important devices or wallets that might be exposed to water and features an IPX7 waterproof rating. The 200-lumen light has long-lasting LED lights that provide users with the lights they need in storms or on the water.
