Top waterproof and water-resistant summer accessories
When you think of summer, you may think of relaxing by the pool, having a picnic on the beach or wading through the surf to cool off. Then there are those who opt for a day of fishing out on the lake or a relaxing river tubing trip. Whatever your preference, there's no reason to leave your favorite devices behind when you venture out in the summer for fear of the water, sand and other elements taking their toll.
Waterproof, dustproof, shockproof–summer proof. Products today are more "proofed" than ever before thanks to the advanced technology developed and made available by some of the best brands in the business. So it's safer to bring them along on this season's adventures. That means you can still take all the pictures you want, set up your music for the perfect summer soundtrack, stay in touch with friends and even tackle that summer reading list you've been looking forward to for months.
Here are the top 5 waterproof and water-resistant accessories perfect to bring along for summer fun.
1. Video/digital camera - DJI OSMO Pocket Camera.
What better way to ensure that your summer memories live on than to get some incredible video of them all?

A 1.08-inch touchscreen display gives you a clear view of what you're recording or reviewing. And a universal port is included to easily connect to your smartphone as well as a host of other accessories. This compact device easily slips into pockets, purses and backpacks for go-anywhere convenience.

For room-filling sound in a compact, Bluetooth® wireless speaker with a water-resistant design, check out the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2. It's rugged, lightweight and delivers incredible, 360-degree sound with deep, heart-pounding bass–all the things you could want in a wireless speaker.
Take it to the beach, park, backyard BBQ or wherever you're headed this summer.
With an IP67 rating,1 the WONDERBOOM 2 is both waterproof and dustproof. Whether it's an accidental splash while poolside or a dash of sand while relaxing on the beach, your speaker will keep playing your favorite tunes. And, it even floats.
3. Charging case - LifeProof.
When you want the ultimate protection for your phone or tablet, consider LifeProof cases: LifeProof FRE, LifeProof nüüd and now the LifeProof FRE Power.
Not only will a LifeProof case keep your device safe when fully submerged in water up to 6 feet, but it will also protect against dirt, snow and shock. It's designed to meet or exceed Military Standard specifications as well as Ingress Protection specifications, with a rating of IP68.
When you choose a LifeProof case, you benefit from the ‘Four Proofs’:
- Water Proof: fully submersible to 6.6 feet for 1 hour

- Shock Proof: endures drops of 4 feet
That means you can climb aboard that speed boat and take pics without worry when your phone is protected by a LifeProof case.
