DryPak 9x12 Bag

honeybunny · 05-30-2008, 11:56 AM

I received my DryPak waterproof bag yesterday. It works great! The Kindle fits inside nicely, and if you have it centered inside the bag, the pressure from the bag itself won't push the buttons. The screen is just as clear as easy to read, and I have peace-of-mind while I read in the bath.

The only potential problem I see is that when you open the bag, a little water may drip inside it. I would recommend opening the bag upside down, maybe after giving it a quick dry-off with a towel, before removing the Kindle.

The bag has D-rings on the bottom corners. It can very easily be hung up somewhere to dry off between uses. I have hung mine on the robe hook on the back of the bathroom door.

If you don't read your Kindle with a cover/case on it, you may be able to use a smaller DryPak. I chose the DryPak over the ALokSak because it was 9x12 rather than 12x12 (which seemed like a lot of extra material on the sides).

How about a link to this, and an embedded photo would be nice?

There are other places to get it, but Amazon's the cheapest...

(I know it'd be better to see a Kindle inside the bag, but this is all I could come up with quickly.)

I'll take a pic tomorrow, too tired today.

I had to work all weekend!

Thanks for the info.

So far I've just been using a ziploc bag, but I don't drop things in the bath much, so it's mostly to protect against stray drops and damp fingers. I also use the ziploc if I want to read during my walk and it looks like rain. But it hasn't had a serious test; I bet the dry bag would work better for really wet conditions.
