I was wondering if this case is good protection in a gentle rain?

Simple answer would be yes but it isn't really great protection. What it is great for though is travel when you put it in and out of a backpack etc it is bullet proof! The front part of the cover snaps off as well so if you want to keep it out you don't have to fumble with the whole case. It works well and is solid leather.

Hi,As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate.Hope this helps.

I wouldn't rely on it for rainy weather however, I do highly recommend the case! It has 2 parts so it is possible for the water to get in and I am not sure how the leather will handle. If you are looking for a good waterproof case try the 'Canon Waterproof Housing WP-DC44 for Canon PowerShot G1 X Digital Camera' I just purchased for our most recent trip to a location with frequent tropical rains and it was also a great case!! Hope that helps.

I have just had a good look at my case and I think the case would be OK for gentle rain.The openings are at each side of the case and are small. Of course it would depend on how long the case was exposed to rain as once inside the case it has nowhere to escape.

It's not completely water proof, but is a nice case overall, it's a great case and is water resistant as well as resistant to a bunch of other weather conditions. I like this case A LOT.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I wouldn't say it is completely waterproof but light rain wouldn't hurt it.

Its a quality case. I would say it is resistant to water but probably not 100% water proof.

No, it's not waterproof. But it might keep a little light rain off of your phone.

Its not waterproof, and i haven't had any issues with it breaking, but I haven't had any issues that it would break from. It is a good solid case though.

Yes. That is what my phone is and I love it. I have dropped my phone several times and it has protected it. It is also better protected in rain than no cover, or the cheaper covers, that don't cover ports like the Trident.

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.

Have not had it out in the rain yet, but the seal around the ipad looks like it can withstand a fair amount of rain. I think if you dropped it into the pool, it would be a problem.

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

It is water resistance but it does protect your phone very well against rain.

It's not advertised as " water proof" case, but I think it offers some level of protection from light weather. It is advertised as a case with a level of impact resistance.

Well the way it creases at the top, your phone is pretty covered, and you can angle it so that the end where the iPhone goes is angled sideways or downwards, therefore rain cannot get it. I would say that it is sweat proof and I am about an average sweater on the arms. For the most part, yes it is.

It should withstand a short time in the rain. The outer fabric is some sort of plastic weave and there's probably some structural cardboard in between that and the inner padding. I doubt the rain would make it much past the outer layer very quickly. The weak point is the zipper since it's not a waterproof or even water-resistant design, which significantly reduces the amount of time it's likely to protect its contents. Personally, I'd consider it acceptable for emergency light water protection, but not much more than that.

I've only used it in a light drizzle, and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy rain because it is made of a cloth blend and probably wouldn't repel water very well. This will work fine in light rains, though.

Yes and no, it can handle a few drops of rain but the monitor comes with a plastic/rubber sleeve that you can put on in case you get caught in a down pour.
