    Liquipel sounds like the greatest thing since sliced bread...hrm I should inform my brother of this, he's lost so many phones to the washing machine I think he'd actually be willing to go without his phone for a few weeks while it gets coated (If that's how long the shipping would take of course).

    Actually I should check this out myself, I work near cleaning chemicals and water so much at my job that I'm constantly scared that my Blackberry will get hit by overflow.

    Liquipel makes me think we finally live in the future.

    A bass IS a guitar. D'oh! :-s

    Yes, mr. pedantic. I've been a bass player for 20 years, so I'm intimately familiar with the semantics of the word. However, this is written for a general audience to understand, and for most people, they will equate six strings with "guitar" :rolleyes:

    We will have a more thorough and comprehensive write-up of Liquipel when we visit their actual CES booth this week.

    Liquipel sounds incredible. If they can use it on a tissue I'm guessing there's almost no limit to it's uses. It will be interesting to see what applications this will have besides electronics in the future.

    I have a college buddy that could've benefited from having his phone treated with Liquipel. He ruined about 4 phones his freshmen year from drinking too much and dropping it into his beer, snow, water, etc.

    You think he would've learned... *sigh*

    My wife told me I should get at least two applications on whatever phone I have. So far, I've sent an iPhone to the toilet and my EVO into a bowl of soup and the sink.

    While I haven't personally done that, my wife has dropped hers into water before. The coating costs far less than the phone insurance replacement cost.

    Hmm, Liquipel sounds great. It seems to work on fabric. I guess it could be great for outdoor clothing, but the clothing's ability to let out moisture from the body would be destroyed. I hope they can further develop it to become 100% watertight on one side, while letting the other remove all moisture.

    I was driving home from the Orange County airport on Sunday night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, when I saw the name "Liquipel" in big bright lights on the side of a building next to the freeway.

    Liquipel's HQ is less than fifteen minutes from my home... I wonder if they'd be interested in giving a factory tour for some more coverage on Icrontic?
  • I got Liquipel on my iPhone 4 back in June and it’s saved it from getting destroyed at least three times. I even dropped it in a bubbling jacuzzi and it survived. I’ve been a believer ever since. You can’t tell anything has been done to it either, it comes back all clean in a nice metal container with a microfiber pouch. None of the water sensor stickers changed color when it got wet so even if it fails I can get a new phone on Apple. All in all I’d say its worth the $59. You no longer have to worry about losing a phone over a spilled drink or a little rain. Just makes you feel good.

    Liquipel is going to be at CES again this year and I hear rumors of a machine doing free treatments at the show, can't wait to check it out.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to catch up with them this year.
