Summary: 
A Spanish (Basque) design SME has developed a waterproof bag. The key advantage of this accessory is its size, perfectly fitted for smartphones or keys. The company is looking for partners capable of distributing the bag.
Description: 
Lots of people go to beaches every summer where they leave their belongings unguarded while they go swimming or doing any other different aquatic sport. Having the belongings stolen while having fun in the water is always a possibility. The best way to avoid it and gain security is carrying the most important stuff. But carrying a big waterproof bag in the water with keys, telephone and wallet may also be annoying. Same may happen going to the swimming pool or to a spa. A Spanish (Basque) SME has designed and patented a minimal waterproof bag which is perfect to carry small devices while being in the water. The company is specialized in innovative designs and solutions, winning numerous awards throughout the years. Examples of their designs are a 95% recyclable chair or the design of wall chargers for electric vehicles. The product consists of 5 items with a very intuitive use. The bag can be hung either around the neck or inside any swimsuit or lycra. The materials used in the items are silicone (provides elasticity and is ideal in saline environments), rubber (natural and adaptable) and polyester and cotton (they provide visibility, softness and fast drying). The materials used make it a sustainable product as it substitutes plastic and it is environmentally friendly. These materials also allow a 40m waterproof solution. Its performance has been tested under real conditions by an accredited laboratory in the Basque Country. The degree of protection has been certified according to the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 60529: 1989+A1:1999+A2: 2013; this certification refers to degrees of protection provided by enclosures. In addition, a water protection IPX08 Certification has been received (submersible to 40 metres). This is the degree of protection achieved according to the international norm IEC 60529: 1989+A1:1999+A2: 2013. Moreover, electronic controls are still functional inside the bag. It will be a useful gadget for surfers. According to latest studies, there are 35 million surfers worldwide. And this bag may be used in all aquatic sports, with limitless uses. Not only smartphones fit inside the bag, but other precious small objects can also be kept there; such as earrings or rings. The company is looking for partners to distribute the waterproof bag. It would be preferable that the distributor worked with waterproof materials or made aquatic sports equipment, so that they have knowledge of the size of the market.
