Smart Key Laundering Instructions

wow pretty cool i think... as far as your luck goes, lets wait a few weeks first before we decide

 

Mine took a bath in the Gulf. I took it apart as much as possible to remove the dried salt and discovered it has O-ring seals! Very nicely engineered for the elements.

 

now if only cellphone manufacturers would sit up and take notice

LOL! I almost did the exact same thing yesterday. Decided to help the wife with the laundry, threw the jeans in the wash, turned it on...then had a thought...better check pockets...sure enough my Smart Key was in my jeans (along with $2!).

i must admit i did the same thing. one good thing about it was it came out smelling so fresh and clean

Yeah, and the REAL bummer, no pun really intended, is that my trick was dropping the cellphone in the toilet...eeewwww!!!

you would be amazed at how often it happens

 

A guy at my work accidently dropped their phone in the toilet as it was flushing and it was lost forever!

 

I now check all pockets religiously before wash. Due to the fact I had destroyed my husband's cell phone and leather wallet in the past....UGGGHHHH!
But good to know about the durabililty of the Smart key..... thanks

 

Years ago I found a Nokia cell phone in a 12"deep puddle of water. After it dried out, I called the owner, and sent it to her UPS. I was surprised it still worked, too.

:lol: Same thing happened to my company beeper a couple years ago and of course, it was dead. I turned it in and told them I wouldn't be taking another one.

Dang. You mean I am NOT unique?

Hmmmmm, so I'm not the only one?

i work for a company that provides customer service and tech support for thousands of different companies including several major wireless providers. we get several info surveys, fyi's etc... dropping the cellie in the toilet is #1 reason for insurance claim for damages. (#1 replacement reason is still for lost/stolen)

But lost/stolen is WAY less embarassing...
