What is a two-part, superhydrophobic coating when it's at home? A miracle, that's what it is. It's called NeverWet. You spray a couple of layers--base and top coat, two separate products--onto the surface of whatever object you want to protect. Then, throw whatever you want at the object, laughing hysterically as it runs right off. Magic.

NeverWet protects against water, mud, salt solutions, acids, bases, and even food and drinks like red wine and chocolate syrup. The demonstration video even shows a coated iPhone taking a dunk and emerging, like Venus from the waves, only drier, although the solution is currently unsuitable for glass products as it dries frosted. Apparently a clear-glass version is in the works.
