The Apple 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco kicked off with its traditional keynote lead by CEO Tim Cook.

Danny McPhail co-founder demos at West Edmonton Mall

Water may be the elixir of life, the food that fuels our planet, but exposure to a few drops in the wrong place, can also wreak havoc on iPhones and other mobile electronic devices. To protect them, we use covers, cases and pouches and most of them do the job they’re designed to do. But now, there is a product that’s invisible to the naked eye that can keep those electrons from fizzling out.
