There's always a choice of using a piece of rubber to close the ports though, and to have the screen/case dirtproof is nice too.]]>Dec 31st 2007 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/

i'm curious to see how cheaply this can be done, and how effective it is. I've seen that phone and i've heard it's pretty solid, but i'm interested to see how it will work on bigger devices.]]>Dec 31st 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/Or not.]]>Jan 2nd 2008 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/Dec 31st 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/Dec 31st 2007 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/Dec 31st 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/Dec 31st 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/p2is-ion-mask-coating-could-make-waterproof-phones-an-everyday/
