That might actually work, it'll keep the steam out.durphy said:Using ziplock bag to protect Kindle from sand gives me idea. Anyone tried one of those food savers where it sucks out all the air? Wonder if that would help people who want to read K in the bath.
Once you suck the air out, the bag is heatsealed. I might try it, but it seems like a waste of bags to do this over and over.marianner said:I don't think it would be a good idea to suck all the air out. Not that there would be that much water pressure in the bathtub, but I would be afraid water would leak in where you suck the air out. A regular heavy-duty Ziploc would be better, I would think.
Ooh, you must have the "real" foodsaver! I'm thinking of the little handheld Handi-Vac.Gregor said:Once you suck the air out, the bag is heatsealed. I might try it, but it seems like a waste of bags to do this over and over.
It might work for a K2 (toggle) but with K1 you need a little 'give' in order to move the scroll thingy. Although, if you already have your book chosen before you suck the air out of it, it could still probably work.durphy said:Using ziplock bag to protect Kindle from sand gives me idea.

Saw a post somewhere that someone wanted to 'read in the pool' so their solution was to stuff the Kindle into a zip-lock bag, suck out most of the air, grab a snorkel and...read in the pool, at the bottom. The remaining air was so it would be neutrally buoyant.durphy said:Using ziplock bag to protect Kindle from sand gives me idea. Anyone tried one of those food savers where it sucks out all the air?

This is what I have and it works!VictoriaP said:I did the ziploc bag routine (minus the foodsaver) and no, the Kindle/bag combo didn't get steamed up in a hot bath. I wouldn't take it into a sauna, mind you, but there was no issue.
Someone else here recommended this:
Kwik Tek Dry Pak Multi-Purpose Case (Clear 9-Inch x 12-Inch)
Mine came yesterday, haven't had a chance to try it out, but it's very heavy poly with a very solid looking clamp mechanism to keep water out.
