Its spe- cialized, resealable bags possess a her- metic, ultra-reliable seal that is verifi- ably tested to keep items both dry and protected while submerged at 200 feet for days at a time. That fact can be veri- fied on their website via certification (www.loksak.com). These bags are unique in their effec- tiveness, versatility and durability, and are therefore a value to anyone who uses an electronic device. They create security where it was once thought impossible, and are so well tested in the field that many troops use them while serving overseas in a number of hostile environ- ments. Imagine being able to take your mobile, touch screen phone to the beach and use it as you would while sitting at home, specifically being able to talk, uti- lize the screen func- tions and even take pictures while it is sealed in such a way that you need not give second thought to its security. It's no longer the risky endeavor it once was because these multi-sized bags are the real deal. Now you can have a complete- ly new level of security while doing any- thing outdoors, ranging from swimming in the ocean to hiking outdoors to simply being stuck outside in the rain. Fishing, hunting, camping, recreation – you name it and you are covered. AWARD WINNING UPPER DESK PRODUCTS ARE A LABOR OF LOVE FOR A FATHER/DAUGHTER TEAM A father/daughter team is fulfilling a loved one's last wish in a big way. "My mother passed away five years ago, but just before she died, she wrote my father a letter encouraging him to keep inventing," said Stephanie Phillips- Taggart, Upper Desk President. "When I was growing up, my father would think of new products and then years later we would see them on the shelf. He never had time to bring a product of his own to market as he cared for my mother – a two-time organ transplant recipient. She was ill most of their 34 years of mar- riage." Little did the late Debra Phillips know that her last request would serve as inspiration for Upper Desk, Inc., a fami- ly guided technology accessory company that provides award-winning portable and universal tablet PC mounts that enhance daily living. The company's first product, The Portable Cabinet Mount for Tablet PCs, is a three-time industry award winner. Receiving the 2014 National Hardware Show Gold Award for Innovation, a 2014 International Housewares Association Innovation Finalist Award, and a 2014 New Product Innovation Award from Bucknell University's Small Business Development Center, Lewisburg, Pa., the mount paved the way for the launch of the company's latest product – the Portable Table Mount for Tablet PCs.
