Interesting! What kind of 'water resistant material' absorbs shock if
it is dropped?

Is the 'water resistant material' something that does NOT dissolve in
water?

You can take it with you when you travel.

I found that I never used my GPS when I drove around the region I live in.
It (the GPS) was very useful when I was driving a rental car in a city I had
flown into.
