    So when I take a shower I usually have tuck my bb into a silicone case to protect it from the humidity (he's afraid of the water) and I find myself drying off my hand to stick it out of the shower grab my crackberry and send replies I do it prob 2 to 3 times wheb I take a shower. Does anyone else do this?

    If they do they shouldn't. Good way to up the probability of the BB getting water damage. Even a couple drops of water can inflict damage.

    Although you put the protective gear, it can still get water damage with the moisture. I've seen it happen.

    CJ... Lol. Rev run probably has a new BB every week.

    Those silicon cases can actually CAUSE problems if your not careful - moisture can become trapped between the silicon case and the device and in a worse-case scenario, result in liquid damage... Although I've never seen it happen personally, I've often heard stories of the silicon "sweating" in warm environments, resulting in liquid damage also.


    My advice, is to use one of those zip-lock (sealable) plastic bags that kids use for school lunches and so forth - they seal the device air-tight and essentially make it water-proof (you can even use the buttons and hear through the bag)!

    Many a time I have made phone calls and sent messages during a hurricane using this method (I mean that, literally)!

    Just make sure that you squeeze all of the air outta the bag before you seal it - if there's air in there, it will pop or break the seal - when you're using your phone in wet conditions, this is the last thing you want!

    You should also carry one of these zip-lock (resealable) plastic bags with you/in the car, just in case it rains and you need to use your phone (you never know when you might get caught out in the rain)...

    I put water wings on mine, and take it in the shower with me!
    J/K!

    I never do that, but if I was waiting for something very very important I might. Good thing I've got insurance just in case!
