Summer's in full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere. People have warmed up the grills, busted out the bug spray, and taken the covers off the pools. Swimming is the ultimate summer luxury in my book, but what to do about all those tech toys with water phobia? Most of them should stay far from the pool, unless of course one happens to be an iPod, which has a variety of waterproof cases made just for it. There's even one with a speaker built right in. And while I don't suggest trading in all your gadgets based on just one water-filled season, if you're the outdoorsy type, a waterproof cell phone, camera, and MP3 player is just the ticket to keep you from stressing about water damage to your gear. Plus, dunking electronics in water is just plain fun, much like a trip down memory lane.

| The Bottom Line | Though it is has rather basic offerings, the Verizon Wireless G'zOne Type-S is a rugged and sturdy phone perfect for extreme sports enthusiasts, industrial workers, and those who just want a reliable and durable phone. | Nano owners who want to take their trusted player for a splash in the surf or a dip in the pool will be well suited by the H2O Audio for Nano. | The EGO Waterproof Sound Case lets you enjoy your iPod outdoors while protecting player from the harsh effects of the elements--and it does an excellent job of it. | |
