What are the best ways to prevent liquid damage in your computer or tablet?

For laptops and computers, there are limited options when it comes to protective cases that can prevent some water damage and they are less universal if comparing to ipads. However for the tablet space there are currently solutions on the market that may or may not prevent water damage. When looking for a case for example an iPad, you can't just pick any random case and call it a day as some cases may offer partial protection against water damage. A good starting point would be searching waterproof cases on amazon and looking for a case that covers the body and screen of the ipad. However, even though a case may prevent some water-damage it may not prevent all and depends on the brand and specs of the case.

I always have cases on my phone and ipad as I'm good at dropping them. Including down the toilet! The parts that cover usb and charging port holes is particularly useful.
