I've always just kept my T1 its usual carry case and put the whole thing into a zip lock bag when I bring it to the beach. I take it out from the bag to read, and then put it back when I am done with it. Haven't had any problems with the sand getting into it.

That is the difference between a calm and a windy beach, I suppose.

It gets quite windy at the Jersey shore. Flying beach umbrellas are a common hazard.

You use what you are comfortable with, I will use what I am comfortable with.

This is my solution, for bath time, pool side, or the beach. The screen is perfectly clear, and the touch is perfect, so there is no need to take it out of the seal, until it needs charging.

Look in my photos, I have a pic of my old Sony PRS-700 in a vacuum seal. As far as over vacuuming it, the only problem I ever had was because the buttons on the Sony 700 would become depressed. I would have to let out a little air, and try again, on the "moist" setting. The PPW has just one button on the bottom, where the seam is, so it's perfect for vacuum sealing because it's a difficult spot to make "snug" to the reader. I did try to vacuum seal my Kindle 2 a few times, but there are so many buttons on that thing, that it was impossible to get a snug fit, without having half of the alphabet, or page turn buttons depressed. The PPW is perfect for vacuum sealing. Last edited by SolRaven; 06-11-2013 at 06:55 PM. |

I noticed from the picture that the white print on the seal bag gets just outside the screen so you have no problem reading, no such luck in this part of the world I'm afraid.

I wonder if you could try regular freezer bags, and use the vacuum sealer for a snug fit. |

Thanks for the info Sol! I have a K4NT, so I am thinking it won't work. I'll try it though before going to the beach this fall!
I've resealed potato chip bags and lettuce bags. I haven't tried a regular zip lock bag though. I'm pretty new to the 'sucky bag thing' as we call it in our house!! S |

I take my sony 350 everywhere, I have a leather cover on it and goes to the "beach, camping and it goes wherever I go (including the hospital and wakes).
Since I now have "2" units, the older one is the one I currently take to the beach, camping or fishing (I've done so since day one). I never leave home without it! |
