Most of us who are into photography would know that cameras that are amazingly specs-efficient are not very sturdy. Even if a drop of water falls on them, you might risk losing your camera. Moreover, when you are visiting hard terrain there is always the risk of dropping your camera especially if you are trekking up a red hill. In that case you do not just need a water-proof camera but also a shock resistant camera.

However, most of these rugged cameras are bulky and take up a lot of space. Casio has launched the Casio EX-G1 which is the thinnest rugged watch in the world and measures just .78 inches. It even comes with a 12.1 megapixel resolution and looks amazingly chic. Just because it is rugged, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on sleekness, size or the look!

It comes with a cool 2.5 inch view screen and is available in black or red. It costs $300 and in my opinion, it is a damn good camera. I am certainly buying one when I have the money. This is the kind of camera you need to keep if you travel a lot, as it looks good, is pretty cheap, is rugged, shock resistant and is also waterproof.

The name might be a wee bit misleading but the Juke Tower aims to do something that most MP3 players have not achieved for long. It lets you listen to your favorite music even when you are in the shower. A waterproof MP3 player from Tokyo Flash, this one has already become a hot property.

Plus the innovative design gels well with the decor of your home or should we say your bathroom! Available in shades of black and white, the Juke Tower displays time in red LED so that you can also have an idea of how much time you spend under the shower. The USB input lets you plug-in the USB stick with all your fave music. With 3AA batteries the music box can run upto 12 hours.

Despite its name, Juke Tower is not very tall at 18.3 cm with a width of 7.8 cm. Coming with a price tag of just $143, make this one yours with its original design and not-so-common ability.
