Crave Summer: Waterproof OverBoard gadget cases

Even the most boring gadget is given a second chance to be interesting when it's possible to use it underwater. But what about gadgets that are already cool? We've got our hands on some gadget cases from OverBoard, designed to be taken into the sea or into your local swimming pool, or even into the shower after an afternoon catching rays in your back garden. 

They're potentially essential summer tech accessories, but we were sceptical about how waterproof they actually were -- would you chuck your 60GB iPod into a huge pool of water in a hurry? No, us neither. Fortunately, they didn't spell the watery death of our most cherished devices and all participating gizmos were dry and fully operational after their submersion.

There's no point taking your MP3 player into the sea if you've got nothing to listen to it through. So we plunged some fully waterproof earphones too!

Enough yapping, and on with the snapping.
