If you love your gadgets, then might I suggest you dip them in some Shellback? This special coating offers protection against accidental spills, and even lets your precious iPod survive even when it has taken that less traveled road of falling into a toilet bowl. This coating is applied in a vacuum and will cover the inner and outer components of a gadget, ensuring that electricity isn't conduction. It is hoped that the protective coating will be available soon to the mass market, with analysts predicting the service to cost anywhere from $50 to $75 per gadget (dependent on size). I wonder whether that means I can still plug in my earphones into my cell phone without breaking the coating?
