Loksak’s aLoksak water and weatherproof bags ($6.49 and up; www.loksak.com) can be used with phones, tablets, cameras or anything that will fit in them. Before purchasing, you must first consider if it’s important to have your device with you in a wet or bad-weather environment. If it is, these are for you. One place where the bags would be useful is the beach since sand is an electronics killer.
