The great smart phone can’t seem to avoid it’s one fatal downfall (so to speak): The toilet. How many have lost a phone to the throne? OK, put down your hands. That might just become a thing of the past. Wouldn’t that be great? Well, three companies showed off their stuff at CES 2012… HzO, P2i and Liquirepel all are coming to the rescue.
