Winter-proof your gadgets: 3 accessories to bundle-up your tech

Posted on November 29, 2011 by

Gadgeteers — with winter fast approaching, it’s a good time to start thinking about weather-proofing your smartphones, tablets and laptops.  iOffer makes it easy with all the sleeves and chargers you’ll need to keep your gadgets safe this winter.

Cold weather makes for extra sensitive smartphone screens

Low temps can make a screen brittle or unresponsive. When the temperature drops, it’s a good idea to keep your smartphone wrapped or close to your body. Try  bundling your iPhone with a colorful, lightweight cotton pouch:

iOffer iPhone Sock Sleeve

Going by car? Keep your laptop wrapped up

iOffer Waterproof Laptop CaseFreezing temps can be rough on your laptop. Always keep a spare laptop sleeve or waterproof case and even consider wrapping your gear in blankets if you’re forced to keep it parked overnight. Remember to always power down your gadgets before locking them up for the night and let them warm up to room temp before powering up. As geeksugar notes, “This will keep condensation and dew at bay, which can ruin your computer’s sensitive guts.”

Taking charge in cold weather

Cold weather kills your batteries. Fire up your gadgets with a portable 12v DC to 110-120v AC power converter:

iOffer Power Inverter

Plugs directly into your cigarette lighter socket and provides a standard (US 3-prong) outlet for powering electronic gear on the road and in the cold.
