Samurai umbrella

Aquabourne Kindle case

£10, amazon.co.uk
If there’s one area where traditional books trump the Kindle, it’s bathtime reading. With this waterproof case, you need never fret about the damp again – it'll work wiht the third-gen Kindle and 6-inch Kindle Touch, and makes your e-reader totally impervious to H2O.

Grippy Pad

£7, firebox.com
Working on the same principle as a tree frog’s feet, this pad can be used to hold almost anything in place on both horizontal and vertical surfaces – it just needs to be kept slightly moist. It’s even strong enough to grip an iPad in place on a wall or cupboard door.
