Dry out small electronics in the Bheestie Bag

This innovative product may save your phone, camera or iPod

Now that we’re so dependent on our cell phones, digital cameras and iPods, it can feel like a catastrophe when these devices get dropped in water or run through the washer.

 A common cure is a bag full of rice, but a company based in Portland, Oregon, has gone one better with their Bheestie Bag, an innovative gadget that dries out small electronic devices.

This is a solution that any hiker, runner, cyclist, skier, etc., should have on hand. Just drop the device in the Bheestie Bag, zip and seal. Use the bag immediately after an accident or daily for preventative measures if you’re in a humid climate. The powerful water absorbing beads physically bond to and remove water or any other liquid. It even works on electronic hearing aids.
