10/17/2006 (PRWEB) Jacksonville, Fla -- CS ideas donated Aquapac Waterproof GPS Cases for an ongoing grizzly bear study. "CS ideas wants to make a difference and when Tyler Coleman called with his project, we just had to find a way to get involved," says Toi Sangthong, President of CS ideas. Tyler is conducting study to measure the impact that humans have on the grizzly bear population at Yellowstone National Park. "The objective of this study is to determine if four of the Yellowstone Bear Management Area closures are effective at protecting grizzly bears from human recreation and impact." says Coleman. Human visitors to the park are issued a GPS unit that's protected inside a waterproof case

Visitors can easily carry the GPS with them throughout their visit, the GPS collects data, and makes satellite contact uninterrupted by the waterproof case. Further, the visitor is unaffected because they don't have to keep the GPS dry - because the Aquapac GPS Case is 100% waterproof and will even float if it is dropped in the water. The PRO Sports Series Aquapac GPS Waterproof Case was the perfect choice for the parks visitors, it's made of a military grade material and includes a neoprene adjustable armband - making it easy for visitors to actually wear the GPS on their arm or leg and still access all the buttons and controls.

This study is important to the conservation of the bears and access for the parks visitors. "A constant struggle for bear managers is trying to balance increasing human recreation with grizzly bear conservation. The results of this study will allow Yellowstone National Park and surrounding agencies to make adjustments to allow for safe human recreational opportunities and grizzly bear protection. Ultimately we would like to maintain our current level of grizzly bear protection and at the same time not limit someone’s ability to enjoy Yellowstone National Park", states Coleman.

The study will consist of trapping and radio collaring a large number of grizzly bears that live around Yellowstone Lake. The bear radio collars are designed to take continuous location information all summer. This will provide us with excellent information about habitat selection and movement. In addition, we would like to track the use of human visitors. This will be accomplished by giving visitors a hand held global positioning system (GPS). When activated GPS units easily track human movement and will take continuous locations. An overlay of bear and human activity patterns in the same area will allow us to determine areas of potential conflict and adapt our management strategies to further protect grizzly bears from people and to protect people from grizzly bears.

Hikers, campers and outdoor adventurers worldwide enjoy the benefits of Aquapac waterproof cases to protect all of their gear and keep them in safe contact with civilization should an emergency arise. Protective cases include: waterproof camera bags, handheld radios cases, cell phone cases, waterproof iPod cases and even waterproof earphones. Our customers proclaim Aquapac as their number one choice for 100% waterproof protection.

CS ideas, Inc. is a U.S. based authorized Aquapac dealer and offers the full Aquapac line of cases on their website at www.waterproofcases.net. CS ideas is committed to giving back to the community and every month we make donations and sponsors worthy causes, from waterways cleanups, fishing organizations, and a variety of other "around the water" non-profit organizations.

Our customers have been asking us for awhile - just how many money clips do you carry? We were surprised ourselves when we counted them up and we're actually up to 40 different money clips of all kinds, styles and engravings. Most recently we've added mens wallets with money clip tucked inside for a really slimline wallet money clip combo.

If we broke it down into categories we actually can classify the money clips in several different ways, too. From leather and steel, to timely and sporty.

There are the leather money clips, some have id windows, some have hidden pockets, and we even have two that are faux alligator money clips.

In the metal collection we have stainless steel, nickel plated and gold money clips. All favorites for the traditional kind of guy. You'll even find custom money clips with special sports engravings, including baseball, football (college and nfl) and golf, too. We recently even modified our engraved golf money clip to be used as a golf tournament gift.

We'd be remiss if we didn't also mention the watch money clips, too. What a practical way to keep track of your money and your time.

If this holiday season you're embarking on a journey to find the perfect money clip for your man, then you definitely will want to check out the selection over at Personalized Gifts and Money Clips to make sure you don't miss out on great money clips that are handsome and affordable.

I need to use my Palm style phone around the water, but I want to keep it
protected. Can you make a recommendation for a waterproof case for my Treo 650 ?
Thanks for your question to Waterproof Cases - we actually do have a recommendation for you: The AQP-340 PDA Case. This waterproof PDA Case fits Treo 650 palm phones should work just fine for you.

You can still talk, and hear through the case with nominal loss of sound, in fact, the person on the other end of the line probably won't be able to tell that you're talking through a case. The material is also flexible enough to allow you to press all your buttons and even use the touch screen features. Take a look of this photo we've posted with a Treo phone inside the Aquapac case, it's a great fit.

Two added features are that the case comes with a neck cord, so you can wear this around your neck in a wet environment so that you can access your palm or phone with ease, and still keep it accessible. We also offer a pda case belt clip accessory so you can latch it to your hip, too.

Another customer of ours actually uses this same case for his Blackberry while he's running. He lost 2 blackberry phones in one week. He dropped one in a puddle and the other one couldn't take the 'sweat' from his exercise routine.

Thanks again for your question!

Hi,

I am shopping for a present for my boyfriend, and he is a major football kind of guy. I was looking to buy him a money clip, but I want something he will want to use, and not just toss it in a drawer. I was wondering is any part of the football money clip magnetic? Will it ruin credit cards? I want this present to be a real winner :-)

Thank you for your question. The football money clip is actually an engraved Smart Money Clip and great news - it is not magnetic. The Smart Money clip is made from a high-tech, stainless-steel, alloy with a strong clip that allows it to hold from 1 to 30 bills on the clip side that will retain its spring tension for the life of the clip. The clip side also holds additional credit cards, business cards and receipts if all 30 bills are not carried. On the back side, the clip holds one card as securely as it will hold five, with no magnets and no way to harm your credit cards.

We have offered the Smart Money Clip for nearly 5 years and year in and year out it remains the best selling money clip we have ever offered.

You can select the football money clip with a NFL style football, or a college football and add your favorite team or player's name.

We appreciate the chance to answer your question and invite you to take a look at our whole website at http://www.aperfectwallet.com to see all the wallets, money clips, personalized gifts, and rousing rounds of other products that we have to offer.

I've never owned an mp3 player before. Now that I have the SwiMP3 out of the package, I don't know where to download music from the web onto my new Mp3 player. Are there requirements for it to be compatible?

Signed: Can't wait to Swim to Music in New York

Dear Can't wait to swim,

Glad you asked. The SwiMp3 waterproof player provides a great way to for to rock and roll while you're doing the backstroke - or any of your favorite swimming stroke.

It works with bone conduction technology, so you're going to LOVE swimming to music.The SwiMP3 is an MP3 compatible player, other types of files won't work on it. Instead of downloading music from the web, I prefer to convert my own CDs to mp3 files, then I don't have to buy more music, I have a whole collection right at my finger tips.Converting your CDs is call Ripping. Personally, for a FREE CD RIPPER, I prefer Media Monkey for my CD conversion software. It's pretty easy to use, and they have a forum with loads of technical support. Websites like MusicMatch offer music downloads, but often these sites are not compatible with the Swimp3 Waterproof mp3 player because of the encryption and licensing. Good Luck with swimming, and let us know how you like swimming to music.

Thanks,Michelle

Dear Waterproof Cases,

I'm going on a cruise in April and would like something I could put my cruise card and cash in to wear around my neck while I'm bathing on the beach or snorkeling. Is the waterproof key holder wallet and the waterproof wallet/neck cord waterproof even if worn snorkeling?I know this seems a stupid question, but I did find a product by another
company that said it wasn't approved for snorkeling.

Thank you,
Terry

Terry,
Thanks for your question. We have a great selection of Aquapac waterproof cases that are perfect for cruises. In fact we've had some great reviews from the Cruise Critic website and others. The waterproof key holder wallet and the waterproof wallet with neck cord are both completely waterproof and submergible. The waterproof key holder wallet is really great if you have a little cash, maybe a credit card or room key. It's tested sumbersible to 100 ft, and keeps your stuff dry for an affordable $15. The waterproof wallet with neck cord is better when you have more with you on the excursion - maybe sunglasses, paperwork or passport, keys, etc. It is waterproof to 15 feet and at $23 it just costs a few dollars more than the key holder. Either case would work for snorkeling - since you're within a few feet of the surface at all times. You certainly want to take your valuables with you where ever you go. It's not safe to leave your id or any other items on the beach while you're out in the water. That really applies anywhere you go, whether on a cruise or just at a nearby beach. You may even want to consider a waterproof camera bag so you can take pictures underwater, too. In regards to other products on the market - there are a lot of products out there that claim to be waterproof, but not submergible. Most of them say water tight or water resistant which probably really means splashproof. If you're not planning on going in the water they may work for you - but for the money you're probably better off spending the money on a re-usable waterproof case - and not waste money on a 'disposable' model. I would also like to mention, we do have a Pak Pak Wallet, too. It's a new product by Denko, and the inventor says its so tough its Dog Proof. I'll take his word for that, but they have been really popular wallets, too. Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business.

Best Regards,
Michelle @ CS ideas, Inc.

I want to know if you have case for swimming that works with the ipod Video.

You Bet! We actually have 2 solutions for your iPod Video. The Aquapac Waterproof Mp3 Case fits most iPods, and the Waterproof OtterBox for iPod Video. Pair these up with some our our swimming headphones and I'd guess you can swim laps and enjoy your iPod at the same time.

Happy Swimming!
Michelle

Dear Waterproof Music.com

1. Would the swimp3 player be waterproof in saltwater?
2. I read that it is still waterproof beyond 10ft, but that the
speakers no longer function due to pressure etc, is this true?

I am wanting to possibly use the device for snorkling and shallow water diving. Would it still function properly in these conditions?

Thanks and regards.

Great Questions, thanks.

The SwimP3 is still waterproof in salt water, but whether it's salt or chlorine, you always want to rinse off your Swimp3 with tap water and allow it to dry after each use. The same way you'd take care of your good goggles, and other swimming gear that you want to last.

In regards to depth, my understanding is after 10 feet, the pressure does prevent your ability to hear, as to whether or not the actually player is waterproof beyond that, we have not personally tested it. The manufacturer rating is waterproof to 10 feet, and we stand behind that rating.

I think it would be awesome for snorkeling, as you enjoy the scenery and your favorite tunes.

Thanks for the chance to earn your business.

Best Regards,
Michelle @ CS ideas, Inc.

Hi ! I have a Sony P200 Digital camera, do you have an underwater housing that I can use?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

Thanks for your interest in our waterproof cases. For your camera I would suggest our Point and Shoot Waterproof Camera Case. It will offer you waterproof protection down to 15 feet and you can take pictures right through the case in and out of the water.

Thanks for your question!
Michelle

Wow, it's been a while since we have updated you on new products at CS ideas. We're excited to announce that we are adding more wedding themed products including wedding cake servers, bridal garters, wedding favors and more.


So check it out!

Thanks!

I am interested in purchasing an engraved gift for my groomsmen. I need to know how soon
I can expect it to arrive to make sure it is here before my wedding date.

Thank you for your question. When planning your gifts for your groomsmen, just like any other part of the ceremony, you should allow sufficient time for the items to be engraved, shipping time, and have them to you a couple of weeks before the wedding. That way if you find you need additional gifts - or your forgot an usher gift, there will still be time to get one in.

The availability time for our products does vary, and should be clearly marked on the page of the item. Just look for the 'Availability' right above the Buy Now button. What that means is that after you place the order, the engraved items normally ship out within that time frame.

In stock items can usually ship within 2 - 7 business days, depending on the items and quantity. Please let me know what item you're specifically looking for: money clips, etc. along with the part number, located next to the price on the webpage, and we'll be able to verify inventory for your if you'd like.
