We love the beach. But we love every other opportunity to tweet or facebook something elsewhere. So how do we take the best of both worlds and put it together without worrying about sand getting in your headphone and charging ports? Easy: wrap a cling wrap around it.

The tip comes from Reddit's Pro Life Tips subreddit. Basically, just cut a large piece of cling wrap and apply it to the touch screen and then wrap it around the back of your phone to cover all ports. The touchscreen will still work but don't keep it wrapped up all day otherwise you might have overheating issues.

Do remember though, that cling wrap is not waterproofing. Photo by Alistair Jeffs
