UAG Rescue Pouch
Irvine, CA, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Urban Armor Gear (UAG), leading designer of rugged, lightweight mobile device cases, power and accessories, is excited to announce that its Phone Recovery Pouch, featuring DRYOUT® technology, has been named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 list.
The recognition emphasizes the collaboration between UAG and DRYOUT®, whose reusable technology protects electronics and other gear from moisture damage. At UAG, protection has always been the standard, and the UAG // DRYOUT collection extends that mindset beyond protection and into recovery, engineered to support your device after exposure happens.
Introduced as part of the UAG // DRYOUT® collection earlier this year, the Phone Recovery Pouch incorporates DRYOUT’s proprietary material to actively draw moisture away from electronics exposed to water, humidity, and condensation. Unlike conventional protective solutions designed primarily to keep water out, DRYOUT® goes to work after moisture gets in, pulling it away from devices and trapping it within a super-absorbent core. The material can then be reset using sunlight, direct heat, or forced airflow for repeated use.
“Protection of your essential tech devices is at the heart of the UAG brand” said Casey Bevington, Chief Brand Officer at UAG. “With the launch of our Recovery Pouch in collaboration with DRYOUT®, we have layered in Recovery as an important component of our protection offering. We are beyond stoked to be honored with Time 300 Innovations for 2026.”
“This is an exciting milestone for DRYOUT® and our partnership with UAG,” said Romney Williams, CEO of DRYOUT®. “Leading brands are teaming up with DRYOUT® because our Active Moisture-Removal Technology provides additional protection technology in the products their customers depend on. This recognition underscores what’s possible when innovative materials and great product design come together.”
