Can’t Part With Your iPad While You Swim? Try Water Wear [VIDEO]

Ipad Water WearHere in Japan summer has practically arrived, and for iPad lovers planning to cool off at the beach, they are faced with the problem of waterproofing. Thanks to case-maker Tunewear, we have a solution to take to the seaside. Water Wear is a dry pouch for your iPad that you can wear around your neck as you wade into the waves.

The folks over at AppBank have taken it out for a dry run (see what I did there?) so check that out in the video below. They warn that the case is not designed for sustained underwater use however, so if you do need a completely waterproof solution, then try DriPro for iPad.

Personally I can’t imagine taking an iPad into the ocean, but a case like this might come in handy in the bath for sure. Is Jaws available on iTunes yet?

Great product review. Another alternative is the iLoc case which is perfect for normal use at the beach our outdoors such as hiking or camping.  It’s a snug fit and allows you to use your ipad as you normally would and it’s very inexpensive. http://www.iLocstore.com
