Liquipel 2.0 Protects Your Gadgets Against Water With Nano-Coating

The microscopic and undetectable coating that waterproofs any smartphone, tablet and just about every electronic device just got an upgrade today. Liquipel has announced a second generation Liquipel 2.0 nanocoating that claims to have "significant advancements in durability, corrosion resistance and water protection" than its predecessor. What this means is that with Liquipel 2.0 protecting your gadget, it can survive under water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 3.3ft (1 meter). Treating a device with this nanocoating grants it an IPX7 rating for water-proofing

Liquipel's patent-pending process creates a liquid-repellant coating, that is microscopic and forever lasting because the coating becomes a part of the device. Liquipel is virtually untraceable and will not affect, nor compromise the look, feel and performance of the device.

While Liquipel's water-proofing technology is impressive to say the least, it is designed as a precautionary measure in the event of an accidental drink spill on your phone, a quick splash in the sink or a rainy day. Don't expect this coating to replace your LifeProof case just yet.

LifeProof Outs Nuud Waterproof iPad Case, $160 Of Toughness

Did you hear? LfeProof's new waterproof case for the iPad 2 and iPad 3rd Gen called the Nuud, is now available and shipping for $160. LifeProof only makes the most amazing waterproof iPhone case ever made. No big deal really. The Nuud should be just as great as the iPhone version and can keep your iPad protected against some of its worst enemies: water, snow, dirt and impacts - all while meeting military standards for drop and shock protection from up to 4ft (1.2m) and IP-68 rated water proofing down to 6.6ft (2m).

The Nuud, unlike the iPhone version, doesn't use a built-in plastic screen protector to help seal the iPad against water and instead uses LifeProof's nuud screen technology to fully seal itself around the iPad's bezel leaving the touchscreen display naked and fully tactile. The Nuud is made from materials that maintain grip when even when wet without attracting lint, and is designed to allow full button functionality with access to all ports as well as an AR coated lens for the back facing camera, and an enhanced audio pass-thru. LifeProof's Nuud is one of the first and slimmest tough waterproof iPad cases ever to be made. It's currently only available in black with a transparent back side.

Turn Your iPod Nano Into A Waterproof Multi-Touch Bluetooth Watch

Wearing an iPod Nano watch might be the coolest touchscreen watch out there. That's until you need to wash your hands and such in water. If you don't plan on ruining your little iPod Nano with some water, you'll need to take a look at the Proof watch kit brining the world's first waterproof watch band to the iPod Nano. If that wasn't enough, the Proof also adds Bluetooth functionality to the Nano so you could wirelessly stream your music. Comprised out of a IP68 graded sealed, waterproof polyurethane casing coated with silicone for use in depth of up to 3m, and a thick strap made out of flexible silicone. The Proof allows for full control of your iPod Nano's touchscreen and side buttons.

The Proof comes with three side adapter to perform different tasks. The largest of them is the Bluetooth adapter adding a considerable amount of bulk to the side of your waterproof iWatch gadget, a non-waterproof adapter will let you use your headphones while a low-profiled adapter offers complete waterproof protection, can be used when you want to wear your iWatch as a daily watch. This might not be the most appealing watch band kit for the iPod Nano we've seen before, but at least it's the first waterproof and Bluetooth enabled one.

The Proof is available to pre-order without the Bluetooth adapter on Kickstarter for $49, and $99 with a Bluetooth adapter. Both are expected to retail for $79.5 and $129.95.

EscapeCapsule Case Keeps Your iPhone 4 Dry Underwater

Planning a trip to the Caribbean islands? Those clear waters are surely a great idea to bring your iPhone 4 with you to take some epic video and photographs. Catalyst's new EscapeCapsule case for the iPhone 4 will help you do just that and more. The EscapeCapsule is a fully waterproof case that's touch enough to keep your iPhone 4 protected against water, sand, snow, rain, dust, mud, impacts, scratches and chocolate fudge. How's that for protection? Even the name of this case sounds safe enough for me to incase my iPhone 4 with it. This isn't the first case of its kind to offer all the above, the LifeProof case has been out for quite a while now and seems to be a little slimmer than the EscapeCapsule.

The EscapeCapsule case has an inner rubber layer for shock protection and is made out of a clear, high-impact polycarbonate hard outer shell for toughness and of course, to show off your glorious iPhone 4 and also the inner rubber gasket that creates the watertight seal that adds a splash of color. Specially designed membranes allow you to fully use the iPhone 4's buttons as well as allow sound to be recorded and transferred even while underwater so you can take a call no matter the situation. Well all this sounds good to me, and if it does to you too, you can head on over to Kickstarter to pre-order yours for $50 in black or blue. Once Catalyst's Kickstarter project is fully funded, the case will retail for $70.

Thanks for the tip, Josh!
