Review: It's ok but really, keep your Kindle Fire away from the H2O

This water resistant sleeve may work as it is advertised to, but personally, I still think the best answer is simply keep your Kindle (Fire or otherwise) away from the water.  Electronics and H2O shouldn't mix and tempting fate by trying to put the two together just seems silly to me.  Yes, I know there are those that like to read while lounging around a swimming pool, or while sitting in a tub, etc., but just as in the days of old, when books were made from dead trees (read that as: paper), getting printed materials near water isn't a wise idea.In the old days if you messed up you'd drop your book into the water get the paper all wet and then have the pages stick together, get moldy and mildewy, etc.  If you got the old printed book near a hot tub it was even worse as the heat and humidity would permeate the material even if you didn't get the pages wet as directly as you otherwise could have.Over time, with the advent of Zip-lock bag technologies, we got to the point that we could, if we wanted to, put things into bags that made them fairly water resistant and usable around a pool, beach, or otherwise potentially wet environment.  This sleeve offers that type of protection for a Kindle Fire if you choose to go that route, but in the end, I'd much rather keep my electronic tools out of the way of water.  Inside, sitting on the night stand, or the end table, or my desk or by my easy chair is much better than on the blanket or towell on the beach, or on the small table at the side of the pool.If you must tempt fate then this item should work for you, but don't say you weren't warned and highly recommended to just NOT do it.
