Just got my iPod touch 4g and my iPhone 4s back from Liquipel and man it works awesome. I can literally submerge my device, only tried my iPod as I was scared haha, and it works perfect. If you want, you can even play games under water, I have tried it and it works. I was so amazed with this new coating that I felt like sharing. It works and it's cheap. Great was to protect your apple device. I hope they will do iPads soon as I want my iPad 2 done. I don't work for or have any business with them, I just thought it was awesome and to tell ya it works.
The coating allows an electric current to pass through, and is thin enough not to clog up ports, so even those are waterproof and still functional. I'm thinking after enough use you'll eventually rub through the coating off though. Also, I'd advise you don't keep playing games underwater... the coating is definitely impressive, but it's not always perfect. I'm anticipating many experiments will result in broken phones once the technology becomes more mainstream and people think they can abuse it.
I've seen that coating on tv about two years ago I still can't get my head round the ports and jacks though surely the device has to fill with water at some point. It is cool stuff though would be great if it was standard on all electronics but like the others I wouldn't trust it for much more than emergencys.
It is or emergencies and accidents. I wouldn't use it under water more than that one time to test it. About earphone jacks etc, the coating covers everything inside the device including the jack speaker, circuit board, etc.
Interesting apparantly theres a chance the iphone 5 and Galaxy S3 may have it by default. link Pretty weird reading that today when this thread was posted yesterday.
There has definately been a lot of coverage around this but does anyone know what this does to the manufacturers warrenty? Surely it would instantly void it no?
