When I'm traveling, camping, rafting, etc. I need to bring a supply of insulin pens and keep them cool. I've been using Frio Cooling Wallets for years and they do a good job of keeping my insulin within the acceptable temperature range, even under less than ideal circumstances.
They are basically an inner pouch with a gel quilted into it and an outer pouch. You soak the inner pouch in water and evaporation keeps the pouches contents cool. The cooling effect lasts for days and you can reuse them over and over. Since you don't want to stick a MP3 player in a damp pouch you'd want to put your gear in a plastic bag first. You might have to get creative with something as large as a tablet though since the largest wallet is about 8.5"x6.5" but they also make other items with the same cooling gel but wrap around your head and wrists so there are options if you use your imagination...

Back when these came out I bought a pair of Libretto 110CTs for the company I worked for. I ended up taking one of them and installing Red Hat 6 on it and set it up to find rogue wireless access points in the companies many locations around the US. Since I was already traveling to many of these locations to do security audits, I just added wireless scanning to the list. To make things more interesting, I gutted a Franklin-Covey planner book and through skilled application of sticky-backed Velcro, I installed the Libretto into the planner book. While I was meeting with the local IT and/or security people I would have my planner book sitting on the conference table searching for wireless signals. At the end of the meeting I would check the Libretto and ask them about their wireless networks. More often than not they would deny the existence of any wireless devices (they were 100% forbidden by policy at that time), I would show them the stealth Libretto showing the average of 1-3 wireless APs with such incriminating names such as, "*companyname*-AP" or "*companyname*-lab".
I was able to rescue both of those Librettos from the dumpster when their time was up. I still have them both today and they both run perfectly.
Here is my stealth Libretto
Some really good points were made in the reply. None of those will be taken seriously due to the sarcastic and mocking tone of the response.
Why not save the oh so clever biting wit for the *end* of the conversation, not the beginning?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
