Japanese Cellphone Dryer Box Rescues Your Phone from the Toilet

There's nothing worse than that moment when your phone
slips from your hand and you realize it's headed to the toilet, the
pool, a puddle or some other small body of water. Because everyone knows
that once a phone hits the water, it's kaput. Or is it?













This is the Dryer Box, a cube designed to bring phones back from the
brink of death. It's popping up in various Yodobashi Camera stores
throughout Tokyo, giving clumsy phone owners a chance to fix their
slippery mistakes.

Of course, it won't work magic. You will have had to have yanked the
battery out of your phone pretty quickly, before the circuits shorted
out. But hey, they only charge you the $12 fee if the phone comes back
to life, so it's worth a shot, right?
