You’ve heard all of the urban legends about how to fix a phone that’s been rendered useless by a dunk in liquid, but real working solutions that won’t void your warranty are few and far between. A new device called DryBox is a different kind of fix that will restore your waterlogged phone to working order in less than half an hour. All you do is stick your wet phone in the patent-pending drying chamber and the device purportedly removes moisture at the molecular level.

With a claimed 80% success rate and a money-back guarantee if the process doesn’t fix your smartphone, the DryBox seems like a pretty great deal for the butter-fingered phone owner. The machines are currently only located in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, but the brand is looking to expand. We can imagine one of these in every mobile phone store, saving the phones of the chronically clumsy – for a fee.

There are countless DIY solutions out there on the interwebs for unfortunate folks who have dropped their expensive smart phones in water. The suggestions for drying a wet phone (and saving yourself from having to buy a new one) range from submerging it in a bowl of uncooked rice to taking it apart and leaving it in the sun for a few days. If you are afraid of using a DIY method for drying out your wet cell phone, though, the Dry-All might be able to rescue your investment.

The Dry-All appears to be nothing more than a bag lined with drying beads. When you lock your wet phone inside for a couple of days, the beads soak up all of the excess moisture and produce a dry, working cell phone. The commercial above shows how easy it is to use, but be aware that it is easily the most annoying commercial ever made. You can buy one to have on hand for the next time your iPhone takes an unscheduled trip into the toilet: prices range from $29.99 for a cell phone bag to $59.99 for a smart phone bag.
