Just got an email from an agent who's Smartphone might have taken a beating at the beach and I wanted to pass along some thoughts.

Sand is not a friend to electronics, the sand can get in behind keys and buttons causing them to not work!

If you use a stylus with your device the sand dust will grind your screen leaving permanent scratches on the glass.

Putting them in a plastic bag might not be the answer either, if there is moisture in the bag you are giving your phone a sauna.

You might look better with a tan but your Smartphone doesn't.  Direct sun heating up the device can ruin the screen.  Now don't panic, we are not talking a few minutes in the sun doing damage.

Oh suntan lotion is tough to clean off buttons and keys.

The biggest thing to remember your Smartphone is not amphibious.  Use care and common sense and you should be fine.
