Sealable Phone Protectors

Vitamin Shield Keeps Your Mobile Safe from Toilets and Dirt

— September 30, 2012 — Tech
If you ever want to go scuba diving or swimming with your smartphone, you can now do so with designer Joongho Choi’s Vitamin Shield smartphone protector.

Even for those who are just clumsy in general or want to multitask, this smartphone case serves as a very durable Ziploc bag with dual seals and locks out all moisture while also maintaining touchscreen capabilities. Created in collaboration with UX agency Light Brain, Choi’s Vitamin Shield comes in a wide variety of soft colors as well as a convenient handle, which makes it easier for swimmers to swim through water with the device.

Although you may not be able to chat underwater, this protector is great to help you take photos in the ocean, especially for Instagram junkies.
