Hello, tumblr users!

It’s monsoon season in India, and while we love the rain, we don’t want it to ruin our precious gadgets. Whether it’s your phone, tablet, laptop, or any other device, water damage can be costly and frustrating. That’s why we have some tips for you on how to protect your gadgets from heavy rain and what to do if they get wet.

Use a waterproof phone case

A waterproof phone case is a must-have accessory during rainy weather. These cases are specifically designed to seal your phone from moisture and protect it from accidental splashes or exposure to rain. Look for a reliable and high-quality waterproof case that fits your phone model.

Keep your phone in a ziplock bag

If you don’t have a waterproof case, a quick and affordable alternative is using a ziplock bag. Just put your phone inside the bag and seal it properly. You can still use the touchscreen through the plastic, but be careful not to puncture or tear the bag. You can also add some silica gel packets inside the bag to absorb any moisture.

Avoid direct exposure to rain

Whenever possible, avoid using your phone in heavy rain. Even if you have a waterproof case or bag, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Keep your phone in your pocket or bag until you find a sheltered area. If you need to make a call or send a message, use headphones or a Bluetooth device.

Dry your phone immediately if it gets wet

If your phone gets wet in the rain, don’t panic. Quickly dry it with a soft cloth or tissue paper to remove any moisture on the surface. Turn off your phone and remove the battery, SIM card, and memory card if possible. The best way to get the water out of your phone is to keep it in a container filled with rice for at least 24 hours. Rice will absorb the moisture and help prevent corrosion.

Get a phone with IP 67 or IP68 rating

IP rating stands for protection against water and dust in the case of appliances and devices. There are several smartphones available in the market that come with an IP rating that makes them water-resistant. For example, IP 67 means that the device can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, while IP 68 means that the device can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. If you want to be extra cautious, look for a phone with an IP rating that suits your needs.
