Ever drop your smartphone in the toilet or other watery receptacles? Well a company called DryBox thinks it can make bringing your mobile device back to life as convenient as renting a DVD from Redbox.







Drybox says it can soak up every particle of water in an effort to revive your phone. If you can get your machine to a Drybox station within 36 hours, there is a 75 to 80 percent that it can fix it.

David Naumamn, managing partner of DryBox said: “It’s like CPR for a wet phone.”

The Drybox consists of a drying chamber that uses a combination of factors including heat to rapidly remove moisture from inside your device.

Most of us are familiar with using a bath of rice to dry out our phones, but opening up phones that have used the rice trick may find starchy sediment inside, according to Naumann.

At this time, there are only a hand full of drying stations and most are around its home base of Texas. They are hoping to distribute stations around the country. Using one of DryBox’s manual offerings can cost between $30 and $60. So the company wants to provide self-serve locations, which would be cheaper. It is hoped that the self-serve stations will be able to accommodate devices up to and including the size of an iPad Air.
