Gear Diary Travelocity Launches New Waterproof/Sandproof Mobile Device Cases photo

So you’re going on a trip, and you want to be able to protect your precious gear, right?  Well, you can go to the standbys like Otterbox or some such, but as we often tell you here on Gear Diary, we love competition.  And so now gear maker Mizco, via their Travelocity division (and no, I don’t know quite what that means, either), are offering some waterproof and sandproof cases for your smartphone.

Well, now MIZCO International has teamed up with Travelocity to bring you the Travelocity Waterproof Series of cases.  If you’re a serious road warrior, or perhaps you do a lot of outdoorsy-type stuff and so need a case with a bit more protection than your usual “bought it at a mall kiosk”-type model, maybe this is one you should check out.  Yes, this kind of thing is going to give your gadget quite a bit more bulk and some extra weight, no question, but when it comes to protecting your precious gear, is that really a bad thing?  Well, is it?

So if you’ve been looking for a more travel-proof case, aybe this is what you’ve been wanting.  Surf on over and check them out and, if you do, be sure to let us know what you think below!

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
