Hasta La Gadget!

I’m a bit paranoid about getting my tech gear wet. I don’t mind using my phone in a light drizzle, but after a while, you have to pocket it. Have you ever been worried about getting your precious electronics wet? Then check out the this carrying pouch, which is supposed to keep all of your gadgets safe from the elements.

The SmithFly Digi Pouch has a roll-top design and it’s completely watertight. It’s crafted in the USA from 18 oz. vinyl, and is perfect for toting DSLR cameras, phones or anything else you’d consider mission-critical to your daily life. The pouch also has some Molle webs on a welded patch on the back of the bag. This means that it works with any Molle-webbed add-on – though those items obviously won’t be sheltered from the elements like the stuff inside of the bag.

The SmithFly Digi Pouch costs $60(USD) and is available right now.

While I rarely switch my phone off, (i.e. never) I do like to make it shut up when I’m busy. That means that I had to adjust all my push notifications, because I don’t want an update whenever you like a cat on Facebook. That being said, with iOS 6′s Do Not Disturb, do you still need a pouch to block signals?

The answer is yes, because some apps just manage to get through without being blocked, like WhatsApp. So if you don’t think Do Not Disturb is good enough, and don’t want to switch on Airplane Mode – which is my favorite way to shut my phone up, then check out this pouch that will block all signals. The Blokket Signal Blocking Phone Pocket will allow you to easily find a quiet moment, without fiddling with your settings.

The woven silver and nylon fabric works as a pocket-size Faraday cage, blocking up to 99.7% of radio frequencies. It’s a great place to keep any sensitive RFID-enabled cards as well. This portable dead zone sells for $24.99(USD) from ThinkGeek.
