Plz read b4 you post..



As far as removal.. I think that would apply to flat surfaces.. Meaning a component board covered with this will be impossible to repair.. Im looking at this like what some ppl do to their Bartops.. They will put stuff in/on the bartop and cover it all in resin(clear) so that the items are trap'd in what looks like glass and protected from the elements..]]>Jul 22nd 2008 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/golden-shellback-waterproofing-defies-water-reality/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/golden-shellback-waterproofing-defies-water-reality/

anyway, i agree, the more i think about it, the more i think this is bunk.
i mean, if you coated the circuit boards, that would probably do something, but then there are the charging terminals that have to be exposed, and then the headphone jack, computer port, etc. you can't leave those open, but you can't seal them up if you want it to work.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 10:58PM
