Apply glycerin or moisturiser to protect your earbuds from getting colour stains
You can also apply glycerin or moisturiser to protect your earphones from getting damaged or getting colour stains. This will also make it easier for you to wipe the colours after the celebrations.
28
Ziplock bags or Waterproof pouch can prevent water and colours from entering the phone
This is the simplest one: Keep your phones, smartwatches, smart band or any other gadget you are wearing or carrying inside an airtight ziplock or waterproof pouch.
38
Seal the ports to add an additional layer of protection
You can simply use duct tape to cover open ports like speaker grille, charging port, etc of the phone or any other gadget.
48
Keep your phone on silent when kept in a ziplock bag or use duct tape to protect the speakers
To protect the speakers from getting damaged when sealed with duct tape or when kept in a ziplock bag, put the phone on silent mode.
58
Use pattern lock instead of biometric locks
It is possible that your phone fails to recognise your fingerprint when the phone is kept under the ziplock bag or face (when it is covered with colour). In such cases, you can easily use the PIN or pattern lock option to access your phone.
68
Don’t charge your device when it is wet or if you’ve just taken it out of the ziplock bag
Charging your phone or any other device when it’s wet can damage your phone. It also increases the risk of electric shock.
78
Use waterproof wrist band cover to protect smartwatches or fitness bands
Many smartwatches and fitness bands are IP68 rated. However, it is highly recommended to use a wristband cover to protect your smartwatch or fitness band. Alternatively, you can use a plastic bag to cover the smartwatch or fitness band.
88
Don’t test the waterproof capabilities of your phone or other devices, water damage is usually not covered under warranty
Many modern smartphones and TWS earbuds come with waterproof or splash-resistant ratings. This means they offer protection against water and dust to an extent, it may vary depending on the rating and here IP69 is high. However, remember that most companies don’t cover water damage under warranty.
