We have not spent too much time on this blog talking about gadgets. This space has mostly focused on service related Internet sites. However, today we have something very interesting to show you. Anyone who has dropped his or her phone in a pool, toilet, or puddle will be able to relate to this.
Karen Wildman and Lisa Holmes are sisters originally from Oregon. The idea for their product was conceived when they saw a sad boy who dropped his gameboy in a pond. The sisters realized that since electronics are everywhere and people take them everywhere, a product that protected against water damage would be great. So they set out to invent a solution… and they did!
Karen Wildman has struggled with hearing loss since she was a baby. She knew a lot about drying out hearing aids from sweat, rain and other moisture. But when she realized she could apply her drying technique to other small electronics and started saving her children’s and friends’ gadgets, she knew she was on to a big idea.
Starting small and funding the project themselves, Karen and Lisa took five years to develop their product, which is now being sold online and in retail stores — including at major outdoor supplier REI. The two mom inventors are currently reveling in hearing about the countless iPods, cell phones, digital cameras and other gadgets their product has saved.
Their new product, Bheestie Bag at Bheestie.com, is designed to ‘dry out’ electronic devices: cell phones, iPods, etc.
BHEESTIE Bag® removes moisture from personal electronics – everything from a camera to an mp3 player.
Here’s how it works. You simply take the electronic device, turn it off, drop it in the Bheestie Bag and zip seal it tight. You can do it overnight, or immediately after an ‘accident.’ It contains powerful water absorbing beads that physically bond with the
Water, holding it inside of them. It pulls the moisture out! The bag can last up to a year for everyday use or less if used for extreme soaking.
The Bheestie Bag costs only $20.00 plus shipping and handling.
The product works best if you get the item in the bag immediately. You can also store headphones in the bad to keep them from malfunctioning.
