How to make an oasis float?

[Adam]

I used to have a kindle 2 with a floating waterproof case and I loved it. I would take it in the ocean and read and float and not worry. If I dropped it I just picked it back up again.

I had an aftermarket waterproofed paper white but the screen made it unusable with any spray.

Now I have the oasis 2 and I can turn the screen off and try to float and read again.

But I can’t find a way to make it float.

My best guess is one of those pop rings that people use with phone and then get a float that you use for keys and hook them together. I think that will work but the adhesive is the weak point.

I have thought about trying to make a bumper case but I don’t want to try to mold one

Anyone else have a good idea? I have a week until I am headed to the beach. I have pop ring coming in a couple days to try it before I leave at the pool.

it doesn't sound like the waterproofness is designed to be long term like floating in water if you look at this page:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html...

it recommends immediately removing the device from water if it falls in and drying it. Ditto for it if water falls on it.

Its rating is for an hour underwater up to 6 feet.

My intent it to keep it out of water most of the time for reading but it will get splashed and probably float for less than a minute at a time a couple times over a hour.

It should last that long.

it might, as long as you do the immediate dry it off bit

It isn’t perfect but I got some foam with single sided tape (designed for weather sealing windows).

I put a couple strips on the back along thin side and that was enough to make it float.
