Technology Goes Waterproof to Protect Beach-going Gadget Heads

LONDON, July 19, 2011 -

Waterproof mobile phones, MP3 players, cameras and Bluetooth
headsets are appearing at beaches all over the country this summer
after technology retailer href="www.expansys.com/">Expansys launched its href="www.expansys.com/summer-essentials-2011/">Expansys
Summer Essentials range.

While the gadget market has exploded in recent years with the
launch of popular devices such as smartphones, sophisticated MP3
players and tablet computers, users have often run into
difficulties in summer time when trying to use their new toys by
the beach, at the poolside or at music festivals and in parks.

Water damage has claimed the lives of many an expensive gadget
in the past, but a new selection of waterproof devices launched by
UK retailer Expansys promises to make drowning gadgets a thing of
the past.

Anthony Catterson from Expansys said: “Our new Summer Essentials
range answers the call from the many thousands of gadget lovers who
want to be able to relax with their favourite gadgets in the
outdoors this summer, without the worry of water, sand or weather
damage. Many people in the UK own technology that has become an
indispensable part of their lives, so why should they have to stop
using it when summer rolls around?

“The new range includes a number of waterproof gadgets that will
survive being dropped in the pool, soaked by a spilt cocktail and
even thrown into the sea!”

Leading the range is the href="www.expansys.com/lavod-aquacube-waterproof-mp3-player-4gb-204177/">
Lavod AquaCube LFA-296s waterproof MP3 player, which is fully
functional in up to three metres of water, making it the ideal
music player to take with you when you go for a swim in the pool or
head out for a surf. Both player and accompanying headphones are
fully waterproof up to three metres and, with 4GB of memory,
there’s room for your entire music collection on there.

Amongst the most popular items in the new Expansys range is the

Waterproof Smartphone Case. With smartphones playing such a
fundamental role in the organisation and enjoyment of day-to-day
life for so many people, the risk of water damage on a summer
holiday simply isn’t worth the risk. The Expansys Waterproof Case
protects smartphones in up to six metres of water, as well as
protecting against dirt and dust, and comes in black, pink and
yellow designs with 16 individual sealing points.

Waterproof camera cases and Bluetooth headsets are also
available, as well as a full range of ultra-portable versions of
popular household gadgets, such as computer hard drives, video
cameras, wireless routers and battery packs.

Mr Catterson added: “We’ve got everything that a British
holidaymaker needs for the summer, from satellite navigation
systems for car journeys and travelling on foot, to portable hard
drives, flip cameras, and even mobile cinema systems.”
