Just got back from West Virginia for a weekend on the white water. 6 of us headed out on the river in Canoes. Ahead of us were class 1 – 3 rapids and a whole lot of rain. 2 of the 3 canoes flipped with all there gear floating down the river. The last mile down the river it poured rain so hard that we could barley see in front of us. When we pulled out of the river at the out fitter we scattered our numerous dry bags out on the lawn. There must have been a dozen different style of the traditional dry bag. All of the gear was wet, the dry bags had leaked in one form or another. The only thing that was still completely dry were the 3 DryCASE’s that I had my flip video, Nikon Cool Pix Digital Camera and iPhone in. After three days down the river in various wet and rough conditions the DryCASE’s were still completely vacuum sealed and dry. Here’s a photo of the DryCASE on my Canoe at the beginning of the trip.
Sue Stock from News and Obserer’s business section wrote this week about the DryCase and the new DryCase for the iPad. She wrote that DryCorp is anticipating a need by already taking pre-orders for our new DryCase. The blog explains that we are branching out from small electronic devices and now the DryCase is also for the iPad, Kindles, and other tablet-type electronic readers. Thanks to DryCase now we won’t just be seeing iPods and cameras in the pool this summer, but iPads too!
Here is a link to the article:
What do broken-limb cases and iPhones have in common? Neither should go in the water- at least not until a Wilmington company’s products came on the scene.
That company of-course is DryCorp, and the joke was the opener to the DryCase’s first news paper debut this week in StarNews. The article included a photo of the DryCase testing process, explained how the idea originated, and spoke about the new DryCase for the iPad or Kindle.
