Water-friendly Electronics for the Summer

There’s nothing sweeter than summertime! For many, the summer is the perfect excuse to spend an excessive amount of time either in or around the water. Trips to the community pool, boating, canoeing or any number of activities! And let’s be real, this is 2016 and we don’t sacrifice the opportunity to use our tech devices even during outdoor activities. In the following post, we have highlighted some of the top waterproof electronics options of 2016.

Take a look, below, at some of these awesome devices and enjoy the water damage worry-free this summer!

1. Samsung Galaxy S7: This product is one of the more highly rated smartphones out on the market today. The device offers a bright display on a 5.1” Quad Super AMOLED® screen and is fully resistant to both water and dust! The Galaxy S7 was released earlier in 2016, and boasts one of the better phone cameras on the market. If you are looking for a smartphone that will be safe around the community pool this year, then look no further!

2. JBL Charge 3: When you’re looking to enjoy a little music when you’re out floating on the river this summer, this is the device for you! The JBL Charge 3 is a portable Bluetooth speaker and, even better yet, also works as an external charger! For only $149.95, this is an excellent option for your summer adventures.
