How water resistant is this? Specifically if the tablet is wet or damp with a 0.1% bleach solution, then will the connectors rust?

You don't put water on ANY device used to charge ANYTHING. That is because that is where current and voltage converges to charge the device. Unplug the device and use alcohol because it will clean the device and evaporate. Using water can leave dampness until the water evaporates and if you plug anything into a socket BEFORE the water is gone, you can destroy the charger and/or the tablet if it is also connected with water still on the charger. Using alcohol to clean will not cause rust and can help remove slight rust. Bleach is ideal for killing bacteria and that is why it is used to clean. It is not ideal for cleaning electronics unless you are trying to kill bacteria from a sick person who handled the device and if this is the case, you will still be better off using acohol.

Yes it works perfectly! However the water resistant feature is something to be desired!

I had to have mine replaced after less than a month. The volume/skip controls were the reason I had it replaced. The connector rusted I think. With my current ones I have been very careful in protecting them from direct skin contact. 3 months later and still good. I really don't think they are sweat resistant.

It has been through backpacks, dropped and all kinds of stuff. The tablet is very durable, and I haven't messed up the screen yet. I also have a plastic see through film over the screen to protect it. I haven't had any problems with it. I usually keep it in its case.

It is water resistant, which means it can get wet but should not be submerged. Mine gets wet while washing my hands, but I remove it to shower and that is a great time to recharge it.

To a certain degree it is water resistant. The flash light has a rubber seal/ring. The metal should not rust if you shake it dry before putting it away.

Consistenty, any electronic device will be affected in the long run if it's not waterproof. The life span will still last long for this device.

I wouldnt recommend getting it wet, however it made it through quite a bit of rain with the battery charger hidden. So, yes it is fairly water resistent

connectors are OK. you need to cut (peel) the silicon at the connecting point. This will not be waterproof.

Mine got wet thru being rained on and continued to work fine. If you are getting salt water on it I would suggest wiping it off with a wet rag to minimize corrosion risks.

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

If installed properly they are water resistant, but if water gets in the unit it will fail.The electronics are not protected.

There typically isn't an issue with corrosion, however, after using the iPod in salt water, we recommend rinsing it off with fresh water to ensure there isn't any salt built up on the device.-Underwater Audio Customer Service

No its not water resistant you can't get in the pool with it, but the sweat won't hurt it. The sweat is Okay it does not harm your device. Just can't submerge the unit in water.

It is water resistant. And yes dust can get it, but I have not had any issues. This thing is very durable. I have it on my keys and have dropped them in dirt and even in a puddle the other day. Blew in it, let it dry out before I stuck it in the computer, and it worked fine.

The rain hasn't caused any problems, exposing it under water might be a problem make sure the charging/reset port is closed with the screw and rubber attachment that comes with it

Water resistant - I found no problem washing my hands, but don't shower with it or submerge it in water.
