Glo working water protection?

Herman2604 · 05-09-2013, 01:19 PM

Hi readers, i have a Q (again) :-)

Does somebody have experience with a working cover for their reader that gives protection against water?

I read a lot in the bathtube and in the strnage case that i should drop it i would like my Kobo to survive!

I tried a Zip-lock bag but the touchscreen is so sensitive that it reacts to wrinkels that hit the surface of the Kobo.

I know that there are some covers out in the shops but im wandering if they have the same problem with the Kobo (glo)?

Someone have experience with these covers?

happy reading.

I've been wondering the same thing, for the same reason. I discovered that if I pull a quart-size ziploc tight, it works MUCH better on my Kobo Glo. This leads me to believe that anything else would need to be form-fitting. I planned to take mine to REI to try out the little waterproof pouches one day, just haven't done it yet.

Wouldn't it be safer to try to test with a piece of paper or something else first?
