Dry Corp Intros DryCASE Waterproof Headphones

Dry Corp, a Wilmington, NC based waterproof products manufacturer, has reportedly released its new waterproof headphones to be used with its new patent pending product, DryCASE.
The new DryCASE Waterproof Headphones lets users make and receive calls, and listen to music while the personal electronic device is secured in the waterproof case, says the company.
The DryCASE is 4.25 inches wide and 6.5 inches long vacuumed case that fits almost any phone, camera or MP3 player. It also features a 3 way headphone jack, which allows users to use both stereo headphones and microphone allowing users to listen to music or even take calls. The company said that DryCASE’s clear membrane and vacuum seal permits the use of all the available capabilities of a cell phone, camera or a music player while at the beach, pool or lake.
DryCASE is made with a medical grade one-way check valve that allows air to be removed. This process creates a water proof vacuum seal and the case conforms to any item placed inside the waterproof case, including iPhone, iPod, a digital camera, or any personal item users wish to keep dry, according to the company.
Once all the air is removed, the pump can be detached and the cap can be placed on the valve, helping to keep out any sand or dirt. The pump can also remain attached and be used as a floatation device to keep DryCASE from becoming lost in the water.
The DryCASE, used with DryCASE Waterproof Headphones, lets people use all available features of their iPhone (News - Alert) or iPod while swimming, surfing, or participating in other outdoor activities. DryCASE Waterproof Headphones are submersible, and can be used up to three meters or nearly 10 feet underwater. The personal electronic device remains dry and secure in DryCASE, while the user stays connected when receiving calls, replying to e-mails, or listening to music.
The company is currently offering the new DryCASE Waterproof Headphones for $19.95 through the company Web site.
