Electronics by our Pool?

While you’re enjoying our hotel, you may want to take a bath, but expect a call? Or want to read an e-book by the pool? Hate the very idea of getting your gadget wet? Don't want sand in it? No problem!
1   Dig around in your kitchen for a zipper storage bag and keep this in your suitcase just in case. (For most cell phones, a sandwich sized bag works well.)
2   Stick the device in the bag and seal it up. Make sure it's sealed completely.
3   Fold the excess behind it.
4   If it has a touch display, make sure there's some air in the bag to keep the plastic off the surface where you are not touching it. The touch display on most devices will work fine for single-finger taps and gestures.
5   Enjoy your phone or reader or tablet device with no worry about it getting accidentally splashed or dipped.
When you're done, don't reuse the bag. The zippers aren't really made for repeated use, and some sliding switches (like the power switch on a kindle) will tend to abrade the bag where your finger operates them.
Protecting a Folding Phone or Device1
You say it folds? Not a problem! Devices like flip phones can simply be folded with the bag around it.
2   Get a bag a little bigger than the device.
3   Put the device into the bag.
