Just like any good Boy Scout, it’s always best to be prepared, and you never know when you’re going to get into a slippery situation. That’s why carrying a rubber in your wallet can be a lifesaver… for your phone, that is. Firebox created its Smartskin condoms for smartphones just for life’s special moments that may not be safe enough for your device.

Whether you’re expecting a call in the shower, sending email at the beach or texting in a hurricane, the water-resistant sheaths can be rolled over your phone or tablet, keeping them dry while retaining full touchscreen capability and 98-percent camera clarity. Headphones and cables can’t be used while the skin is applied, however, so make sure you’re charged in advanced.

Each pack of smartphone condoms contains three skins and three sealing tabs, and unlike the other types of rubbers they can be used up to three times each. Available for the iPhone 4/4S/5, iPad and the Galaxy S3, each 3-pack is just $18.49.

Don’t try to wrap anything else with the condoms, though! They’re made from thermoplastic and won’t protect your other member from STDs or pregnancy. They won’t prevent those drunken sexts in the middle of the night, either, so send at your own peril!
