On selecting the ugo TABLET, expert comments included, "What's every boater's nightmare - getting your phone or tablet wet, or worse - dropping them overboard. The winner of the 2019 award for Best Boating Product addresses this concern with what its makers claim is the most reliable dry bag on the planet. We admired the R&D which went into the product, the welded seams, the wetsuit zippers and more. You can put your tablet, your phone, your papers into the case and they will stay dry. And it floats!"
