Paperless Caching Accessories – The Otterbox!

Okay, so you have a Palm for geocaching. Maybe, you’re even using one of the many PDA or ‘Smart’ phones. Constant exposure to weather will eventually cause moisture to invade you paperless caching companion, thus causing catastrophic failure at some point. I’m more worried about the data ON my Palm than I am about the Palm itself. Fortunately, there are a TON of various Palms to be had for $20 or less, so you can even stock up on those! Again, the data is what is REALLY important! Enter the Otterbox.

Otterbox makes an entire line of waterproof boxes, specially designed for todays personal electronics (Palms, iPods, Blackberries, etc). By placing your electronics in an Otterbox, they are safe from crushing, scratching, and drowning, even in the harshest environments! For the PDA’s, Otterbox has the 1900, the 2600, and the 3600. They’re not cheap, running anywhere from $50 – $100, depending upon where you buy them.

Here’s a great video showing how a PDA fits inside the 3600. Inside such a case, a PDA can take all of the abuse a geocacher can shell out!
