Getting kids to brush better can be fun and this product seems to hit that point very well. However, from my experience as a parent of an 8yo, phones and tablets around a basin of water for too long spells disaster. I don't want a product that would require me to hover over my kid while he's brushing his teeth.

Galaxy S5 has changed this equation for us.

My daughter knocked mine into a full bathtub with the only result being a funny sounding speaker for an afternoon. My wife dropped hers in the toilet, while holding our youngest, without issue. It has saved us quite a few times over the year - definitely worth it.

There are bathroom kits to prevent damaging the smartphone. I think there is a video of it being used somewhere on the page too (The demo video)
