Dryer Box May Help Salvage Water-damaged Mobile Phones

This device allows users to drop their water-damaged phone into it for 30 minutes, and everything should be hunky dory again. The charge is 1000 Yen ($12), and users won’t even be charged if it doesn’t work, so it sounds like it’s worth a try if you do accidentally get your phone wet.
