I think the biggest trick to not dropping is it not laying it down anywhere. When books are in my hands in the tub, they never fall (i'm not 3), but it's when i put them on the edge for a second...

Also, someone compared a bath to a hot tub. Im not sure, but i think the chlorine makes the water much more conductive. In fact, clean water doesn't conduct at all, so I guess it comes down to how mineral-free is your tap and how salty is your back.

Another thing is that there's no way to cut the power in an emergency. That's really bad. A quick dunk and I'll bet the water won't get anywhere far, but if it then has a couple oh hours to seep.... that's really really bad. Cell phones have removable batteries, I really don't see why this can't.

I like reading in the tub too, but using ziplocks makes me cringe a little... I dunno, we'll see.

p.s. yvanleterrible, it's pretty hard to electrocute yourself even if you drop a toaster in the tub. Electricity doesn't want to spread through the water and attack, it just wants to get from point a to point b. So dropping in a toaster will make a shortcircuit inside and maybe heat the water. Just try not licking the shortcircuited toaster and the drainpipe at the same time.
