WaterWear iPad Case by Tunewear

WATERWEAR for iPad/Tablet PC is a carrying case made from a durable, transparent material with a triple zipper design to lock iPad or a tablet PC safely inside and keep it away from water and dust.

WATERWEAR uses a thin yet strong clear material enabling control of the device through the case. Bring it into the kitchen or into the bath and enjoy videos, web browsing and music wherever you are.

The locking mechanism includes a combination of zippers, velcro and snaps to guard your device from the outside elements.

An iPad optimized insert spacer is included for keeping iPad stable inside. There is extra space inside to accommodate a small pocket WiFi device or other items.

Use WATERWEAR in the kitchen to search for recipes. Control the touch screen without worrying about getting iPad wet or dirty. Bring it with you when you take a bath or go outdoors by the pool or to the beach. The convenient strap lets you hang WATERWEAR from a hook or carry it around with you on your shoulder or neck.

The strap is removable and the length of the strap can be adjusted.
