Chad's Crappy Corner! This will be the first gadget in Chad’s theme for June: Things that are inflatable.

And Chad’s Pick? The Abco Tech Inflatable Waterproof Dry Phone Case.  

It comes with a lanyard and is designed for Apple iphone, Smartphones, Samsung, HTC, Sony, Galaxy and it also fits many other phones. First, here’s the description on Amazon: New! This Inflatable Design will float safely when dropped in water! With 2 secure snaps at the top, your device will be secure all day whether you are swimming, relaxing on the beach, boating, or drinking near water. The case has 2 clear sides so you can still use the picture taking & video recording capabilities of your phone without worrying about potential damage. A neck lanyard is included. Sealed Retail Packaging so it's perfect for a gift! Many phones (with standard cases) will fit into the waterproof case so there is no need to be constantly removing your stylish case when using the waterproof case! Price (as of 6/4/14) is just $5.99 and it’s Amazon Prime, so free shipping for Prime members. 

And Chad’s take? Chad had a very hard time blowing up the inflation chambers. There's one on each side of the case and getting air into the tiny inflation chamber was almost impossible. He got it to the point where when he put the phone and case in water, the case was underwater (in the clear glass tub he was using for the demo), but just the top 1" of the case stuck out of the water. At least it was enough so Chad could grab the phone and case. As Chad put it, you still might want to buy one because it's just $6 with free shipping. Otherwise it would be a "pass on this" inflatable device. Be sure to watch the video version to see for yourself how the case behaved in and out of water.
