Guide to Beach-proofing Your Tech Gear

The beach is a popular place for fun in the sun but a potentially dangerous place for unprotected electronics. To protect gadgets from sand and water, Consumer Reports recommends using zipper or slider food bags.

Any zipper or slider bag will probably provide passable protection. Consumer Reporters advises that you buy a few bags in different sizes to see which ones fit their devices best, and consider replacing the bags periodically, particularly if sand has scratched the surface and affected how clearly the device's screen can be seen and its controls can be used.

Beachgoers should place gadgets in bags before they leave home, and try not to remove them until they're back home and have brushed off the sand and water. Remember, to take decent photos at the beach, the phone or camera will have to be unsealed and removed from the bag.
