Is there a waterproof case for Sony's reader?
Hi all,
I love to read in the tub, by (or in) my pool, at the beach, take my ereader camping, etc. Does anyone know of a dry bag or case that will work with the Sony PRS-505 while reading? It would need to be available in or ship to Ontario, Canada. I'd appreciate any info you guys might have. Take care. |

Also, several people use ziploc freezer bags. Very economical!

I highly recommend a find I had. I found a clear vinyl zipper pencil case at Target that serves the purpose wonderfully. If you carefully pull the metal zipper slide off, it leaves a heavy weight vinyl Ziploc pouch that is the perfect size for the Reader and is water tight (at least enough for tub purposes...I don't know if I would take it into the pool but YMMV). I have a couple in the bathroom and a couple in my bag, in case I get caught outside in the rain, I can put my Reader, phone and iPod in them so they don't get ruined.

I picked up a generic waterproof transparent bag at a travel store, works just fine.

Your local camping supply store has several very good dry bags that will fit the bill without costing you a lot of money. Clear vinyl with good waterproof closures.

I'm one of the people using some sort of slide-locking plastic storage bag --- works fine and still allows my PRS-505 to fit in my shirt pocket.

I was using a zip top bag and they do work fine. But they tend to wear out and sometimes my toddler knocks my book actually IN The water and I wanted something that was more water tight.
I got just a clear "random brand" waterproof bag from the Academy Sporting Goods store. I think I paid less then $10 and it is still going strong! I just took my reader in with me and tried a few till I found one I liked best. SO I say look at the local camping/boating places for waterproof bags. |
