Golden Shellback: iPod Touch Fully Submerged in Water (Video)

Watch in awe as the video above demonstrates an iPod Touch being fully submerged in water (along with the Little Mermaid). Introducing the Golden Shellback, the ultimate weatherproofing solution for electronic devices. By way of a special vacuum-induced coating system, the Golden Shellback can repel oil, dust, dirt, synthetic fluids, and water based solutions. But taking the plunge and getting your favorite tech-toy wrapped in this waterproof polymer might be harder than you think. Currently, the Golden Shellback is only available directly through the Institute's headquarters located in Fairhaven, MA. Also, once applied it is "not generally considered to be removable." And some information about the Golden Shellback to impress your friends (from Wikipedia ):

Another rare status is the Golden shellback, a person who has crossed the equator at the 180th meridian (international date line). When a ship must cross these lines, the ship's captain will usually intentionally plot a course across the Golden X so that the ship's crew can be initiated into the Golden Shellbacks.
