While there are companies that offer products that make your smartphone waterproof, they’re usually accompanied by exorbitant prices. Enter Impervious, a company that offers water-resistant solutions for smartphones at a relatively inexpensive price point.

For $30, you can make your iPhone, Android, or any other smartphone resistant to splashes and rain. Tablets are also given some love, as $35 and $40 will net you kits for the iPad Mini and iPad. For $10 more, you can purchase a waterproofing kit for your iPhone allows for submersion in three feet of water, at most. Unfortunately, waterproofing kits, which cost $40, are only available for the iPhone.

“When applied externally to your device, Impervious protects against spill damage and screen scratching,” says Impervious on its website. “When fully applied to the outer & inner components of your device, Impervious is classified as IPX 7. We currently only offer full waterproofing kits for the iPhone 5, 5s, and 6. When applied, your device can be submerged in (1) meter or (3) feet of water for up to 30 minutes (We do NOT recommend).”

A word of caution, however: opening up your iPhone to make it waterproof will void the warranty.

“The phone in your pocket is a time machine. Take it out, point the camera, and shoot important moments in your life. It’s your very own film,” says Victoria Mapplebeck, a Department of Media Arts professor at the Royal Holloway University of London. She knows a thing (or two) about making films with a smartphone.

Victoria won the BAFTA honors in the Short Form Programme category in 2019 for her film Missed Call. It was shot on an iPhone X, one of the first films to showcase the might of smartphone filmmaking.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
