PRS-350 Waterproof case for Prs 350

nogrits4me · 01-25-2011, 01:13 PM

HI I have a PRS-350. I would like to have a case that I could use while I am in the water to protect the reader from dropping it by accident. I tried a ziplock but it interferes with the touch screen. Any suggestions? Thanks

Probably stuck with the ziplock-type cases. (I found one that juuuust fits the 350--forget the name.) Just turn it on first (and kill the power saving), and use the page turn buttons. Having plastic or a case over the screen kills the touch detection.

If you need something that feels more safe than a ziploc baggie, then have a look at the m-edge guardian case. It is made for the kindle 2, but I use mine with my Sony 505, with some strips of foam core to keep the reader from rattling around in the case. So I figure it ought to work for the 350 as well?

Of course you need to check if you can access the buttons for page turn, I'm not familiar with the layout of the 350

The Sony x50 touchscreens work using infra-red, so any kind of cover or layer over the screen is going to make it pretty much useless. However you should still be able to use the buttons.

I already know the touch screen doesn't work. It's the buttons I would like to use. But when I use the ziplock bag it turns the pages. So I guess I can't use when I am in the water. Thanks for the advice.

I use a waterproof bag w/ziplock closure (made for phones etc., sturdier than a regular sandwich bag). Works fine, doesn't turn pages, easy operation with buttons. Was reading in a pool and at a swim-up bar, no problem.
