Bring that cellophane wrap from the kitchen and wrap it around your phone to make it water resistant. Make sure that you wrap it around the phone neatly so that water cannot pass through it.

Do yourself a favour and get a Dry bag or Zip Lock

A Zip Lock or a Dry bag can be very useful if you immerse yourself in water sports. Just put it inside the dry bag or zip lock and lock it. Cool right?

Waterproof sprays

Waterproof sprays use nanotechnology to create a layer on your device which repels liquids and oils thereby making it waterproof. While some of these sprays last for 30 minutes, a few last for as long as 1 year depending upon your usage. One such spray is NANOSTATE.
