No man it horrible ur suppose to test it with paper inside and it got all soaked of water so I made sure everything was closed and tried again and it got all went then it didn't so I put my iphone 5 in and then my speaker got messed up so I say do not get these cheap cases if u can get the real life proof the 80 dollar ones

Water goes a little big the echo after you put the case is horrible...it not worth it to spend the money

I never used mine in water. It made my voice sound like I was in a tunnel. It was very hard to put on and take off. I threw it in the trash. Don't waste your money.

Well mine wasn't great the plastic semed cheap and the corners were dent water went in easily

The case I got leaked! No matter what I did it it never worked I would not recommend it!

Mine worked fine. I did the water test before I went to the beach. I did not take my phone under water but got splashed by a wave and it was fine

The one I received was already broken. I will be buying a REAL Lifeproof case for my phone!

My case broke before I even got to test it. It's very thin and unreliable. I recommend u use something else.

You know Im not sure to be honest. I do know for sure. What I do know that by the design if you out it in water with the case on its not sealed enough to stop the water from in between the case and the phone. I just took off the case entirely when I wanted to take underwater pics

I wasn't happy with the case, don't know about it being waterproof. The case blocked the speakers so I stop using it. You get what you pay for. It is a protection for if you should drop your phone.

I can only tell you that I am still using this case and have dropped it multiple times and have had no problems! I have ordered 2 more one for a friend and one for my wife and they both love them! I did the water test when I first got it like the direction said! I know it's going to save my phone from water if I accidentally drop it in water! I will not take it in water on purpose! I hope this helps!

It will protect your phone from falls, but the case itself breaks. (at least mine did). It didn't break to the point where I couldnt use it. One of the little pegs broke off and it was loose in one of the corners. As for water, only the back is protected so if you set it on a wet counter it will be ok but if you drop it in a puddle it will not be ok.

Basically, Yes. BUT do not place it into the water, though. This case is an ideal object when you are travelling, hiking, etc. when it rains, you don't have to worry it will get wet or get dirty, and it's really shock-proof, which can protect your phone perfectly. Any question pls feel free to contact us. Thanks! ☺

No. It's not water proof but it is one of the nicest cases you can buy for them. what your thinking of is a lifeproof case

I would not attempt placing my phone in water with this case. It is made of a plastic that breaks easily so the ability to seal correctly is questionable. Hope my comment helps.

Unfortunately I have never dropped my phone in water to be able to answer that question honestly. It has been in and out of the rain and only rain was on the screen which has a screen protector on it. No water got inside the case though. I hope this helps.

This case is not water proof; it is a very heavy duty case though. It's bulky, but once you have it on, your phone will feel as safe as ever. You're friends will envy you for how protective this case is. Haha

No case, or phone, is "waterproof", regardless of what the company says. All phones and cases must have holes for the speaker and microphones. This case is water resistant, but I would not recommend taking it swimming. The galaxy s5 and life proof cases are false advertising if they say waterproof. Take this from a person who has worked in the phone repair business for a number of years.

The truth is, I had such problems with this case that I didn't even test to see if it really was waterproof. But in the directions that come with the case it says to assemble the case (empty) and test it before putting it on your phone, just in case.

It is not waterproof in terms of immersing in water but will keep splashes off the phone. I actually did drop mine in a shallow stream momentarily and it was OK, but I would not recommend this

This case helps with the water resistance but it is not water proof. It is still a great case for protecting your phone but if you want water proof a life case would be what you want it will cost more but worth it is you want water proof.

This one does not and I don't believe that otterbox makes one for this phone that they guarantee to be waterproof, however there are quite a few waterproof ones you just need to try google-ing it.

Hi Jim, I can't answer that question because I find it difficult to "test" my new Iphone by putting it under water.If it leaks and my phone is ruined....I lose, if it doesn't leak and my phone is fine...I got what I paid for.All I can say is....I am trusting the case to protect my phone from water damage "as advertised". In my opinion the case snapped together securely, with what I believe to be good seals at the joints.I don't expect to take my phone with me "in" the pool or oceanbut I believe it will protect it from splashes and drinks at the table accidents.Hope this helps......john Hi Jim, I can't answer that question because I find it difficult to "test" my new Iphone by putting it under water.If it leaks and my phone is ruined....I lose, if it doesn't leak and my phone is fine...I got what I paid for.All I can say is....I am trusting the case to protect my phone from water damage "as advertised".
