Video: Watch New Coating Protect iPhone Dropped into Pint of Guinness
The company says the video is designed to show how the electronics industry can now achieve the IPX-7 (30 minutes submersion in water at a depth of 1 meter) or more of waterproofing that is so required by mobile device manufacturers.
