Yu Hsin-leh of Taipei lost the phone on July 24 while snorkeling near the Taiwan port city of Keelung, Taiwan's United Daily News reported. On Monday, it turned up in Longdong Bay Park on the island's northeasternmost cape after floating past numerous towns and rocky outcroppings. A small water-resistant case had protected the phone at sea, said park lifeguard Lin Huan-chuan, who found it. Lin said he recharged the battery and called Yu's wife by finding her in the phone's list of saved numbers. "All the phone's functions were normal," Lin said. "The owner was extremely surprised as he figured he had lost it for good." (Reporting by Ralph Jennings; Editing by Sugita Katyal)[/quote] After reading this in Yahoo! News i was like :wtf:

Who the fuck swims/snorkels with a phone in their pocket?

[QUOTE=ashxu;16476427]Who the fuck swims/snorkels with a phone in their pocket?[/QUOTE] For people who thought buying a waterproof case for phones would be a good idea and have no other use for it.

[QUOTE=angelangel;16477295]For people who thought buying a waterproof case for phones would be a good idea and have no other use for it.[/QUOTE] Usually if someone buys a waterproof casing for something, it's usually for just in case they drop it in a large puddle, pond etc.
