We all know that water and electronics don't mix, yet we also want to bring our MP3 player along on a run in the rain or get that cool picture by the pool or take a cell phone along while wading at the beach. And all is well and good until one of these devices gets wet or, even worse, takes a dip.
But what would normally be a wasted piece of wet electronics -- or an anxious check of the water-damage clause of a product's warranty -- can be a ray of hope with what's known as the Bheestie Bag ($20). Its water-absorbing beads will dry out cameras, cell phones, MP3 players or any other gadget that has gotten wet, and it can possibly save electronics that have become completely immersed.
Time in a Bheestie Bag is recommended for portable electronics after they've been used in wet conditions while running, golfing, skiing, biking or working out, or after boating or other water sports. And if your gadget goes for a dip, you can remove the battery and immediately place it in a Bheestie Bag.
While it's not guaranteed to revive your soaked electronics, it works better and is safer than the hair-dryer method and is faster than just waiting (and hoping) that it will simply dry out over time. The folks at CNET put the Bheestie Bag to the test with an MP3 player and it passed with flying colors.
Each bag lasts for up to a year, and blue indicator beads inside turn gray when a bag has lost its water-absorption properties.
It can help you not only save your expensive electronics but also save face the next time you accidentally drop a gadget in the drink.
