If you’re planning an afternoon of summer fun, you’re likely to pack protective gear such as sunscreen, a hat, and maybe an umbrella for shade. However, Apple® products like iPhones® or iPads® — or any electronic devices — need their own protection. From pools to rivers, lakes and oceans to refreshing beverages, there are always opportunities for these gadgets to get splashed or take an unwanted dip. Avoid unnecessary repairs or replacements by keeping these tips in mind.

3 Ways to Protect Your Apple Products From Liquids

1. Plastic Protection

One of the easiest methods of avoiding unwanted iPad and iPhone repair during the summer is by storing your device in a resealable bag. The tight seal of the plastic zipper will keep the phone or tablet dry and prevent sand from finding its way into the device if you’re lounging on a beach. It might be a slightly cumbersome, short-term solution, but the bag is an affordable, effective way to shield your device from spills and splashes temporarily. The plastic is also thin enough that you can use the touch screen without problems — and without smudging the device with sunscreen.

2. Waterproof Cases

These heavy-duty cases add bulk to your device, but they’re designed to keep it bone dry in the event of an accident. Unless the case specifically advertises it, most products aren’t meant to protect a submerged device for an indefinite amount of time. Also, top-tier waterproof cases might cost more than normal cases, but the upfront cost is better than paying for repairs or a new phone altogether.

3. Water Resistance

Many newer Apple products are deemed “water-resistant.” While this means they should be able to handle a light splash or some drops of liquid here and there, it doesn’t mean they’re impervious to water damage. Take steps to protect your device, or you may find yourself making an appointment with your local iPad and iPhone repair service.
