TD: FREE Wet Phone Rescue Kit - Moisture Removal, Drying Agent AR + S/H

Quote from TDMVP73 : Me too calistyle, me too! As mentioned, they already changed the price. It was $14.97 and then they bumped it to $19.97 around 6 PM CST. I would assume that's a positive indication that the deal will be on. But again, just like the WD deals, we won't know for sure until it's on 4MyRebate.

Oh, I see... Well, if they raised the price by $5 when this thread was posted, then I think that the rebate will show up after all.

But they should at least put the damn form up on their own website in the meantime.

Not to TC, but the more I think about this, the more I think I think the concept of buying this product is flat out stupid (at least at the normal asking price -- I wouldn't go through the hassle/stamp/risk of no rebate on the product personally as I don't think the risk is worth the reward as explained below...).

If you drop your phone in water, you're going to need to repair it (dry it out) ASAP. So you wouldn't just buy this and hope to get it in time to save your phone.

So you'd have to buy this in advance. The odds of you actually dropping your phone in water and needing it are slim to none. So for those who didn't/don't get this FAR, paid (I assume) $20 for a product that they will more than likely never need.

And as mentioned by myself and others above...a bag of rice does the trick and costs $1 to $2. You take the battery out (if possible), dry the exterior off as much as possible and drop it in a bag of rice.

My current phone fell into some river in Austin. Didn't even turn off.
My current phone falls less than an inch on the pavement. Ghetto, jank, cracked screen.
But still works.
IT'S THE JUGGGGERNAUT!

Haha! That's a pretty BA phone!

Mine is just an iPhone 4S
If the attachment thing worked, you can see a picture of it

However, despite the terms on the instruction form clearly saying:
Limit Three (3) rebate per qualifying rebate offer, per person, billing address, company, household and receipt/invoice/packing slip during the eligibility period, except were prohibited by law.

The online form says:
Offer Maximum: 1 claim(s) per household

Lol. Of course they screwed something else up. Thanks for the update!

Seriously, I don't know why you can't just use a ziplock bag with those silica dessicant packs that you often find with many products you buy. I've accumulated tons and I pile them up in my closet to help with the humidity.

My old Razr phone was washed in the washing machine at least 3 times. Simply leaving it out, disassembled, in the air by a window for a few days got it back to working order every time. Have done the same with any number of the inlaws' phones that have been in similar situations (little nieces trying to flush mommy's phone was my personal favorite).

Phones are a lot more durable than people give them credit for. That little red dot is just a warranty voider, not a phone-garbage-indicator.

It's actually 3 per person when you fill in the form online.

In for 3, $4.20 money maker after CB (less stamps), better than a kick in the head.

But more to the point: who has a good deal on stamps!
