    I sometimes listen to music or watch videos in the shower. I double-bag it in clear plastic bags, and then put it in a safe location. When I change songs or videos, I‌ can interact with the screen like normal. Maybe it’s just my phone or the plastic bags I use–maybe both?

    I use something like below, minus the ziplock:

    a pile of clear poly plastic bags

    I suppose there are actual products meant for making phones more waterproof in these situations, but I didn’t bother looking for those.

      Watching videos isn’t that weird. I tend to try to rush showers and wouldn’t be able to watch my phone while doing 90% of my washing, but it’s not that crazy. I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.

        Yeah, I suppose it isn’t as crazy as I thought people would perceive it to be.

        I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.

        Doesn’t this damage your Bluetooth speaker? Or is it, and especially its controls, waterproof/water-resistant?

          I keep them on the counter, not in the shower. I did recently buy a cheap shower speaker for listening to music quietly. It sounds like shit and the suction cup isn’t great, but it’s waterproof.

          I almost always use my Google mini because it has voice controls. If I suddenly decide I want to listen to something else I can without getting anything wet.

        Thanks for this tip. I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’d literally touch grass (like a camping trip or sth), lol!
