The series of misfortunes that lead to dropping your sometimes very expensive cell phone can make you feel pretty terrible, not to mention the whole having to get new numbers, paying the $50 insurance fee, or sometimes even settling for that temporary flip phone.
But The Bheestie Bag’s low-tech solution molecular sieve beads absorb all moisture, akin to how soaking your drenched phone in rice usually works (or doesn’t work, depending how lucky you are).
Dean Takahashi from Venture Beat got to test the device after a “gadget mishap,” and he said, {[he] dropped it in a Bheestie Bag for three days and opened it up. [He] put it into [his] laptop and it worked fine. Bheestie has a number of testimonials on [their] site.”
Karen Wildman, the co-creator of Bheestie, said, “[The Bheestie Bag] [s] an awareness problem, as most people just throw the electronics out when [they] get wet.” Her sister Lisa Homes is the other mastermind behind the product, as the two were always somehow liquefying their electronics.
This $20 Bheestie Bag seems well worth it, and the testimonials read to be pretty legitimate.
