How water resistant is this case? (IE in heavy rain)

It is not designed to be water resistant, so I would not risk it if you could avoid it. I think in most scenario's it would survive light rain, but in a downpour, there are plenty of cracks and crevices for water to get into and furthermore, once the water was in, the case is pretty well sealed around the phone so it would hold any water in until you took the case all the way off and thoroughly dried it off. I would not recommend for use in water scenarios.

Not water resistant if laying face up. But if laying face down light rain is fine. This type of case is only for side and back protection. front is open faced.

Well, this case is not water-resistant capable at all. Because its front face has no any film for this purpose.

I would say if you dropped it in water you'd be alright. As for purposely putting it in water for lengths of time for pics or whatever I would say no. Ive had mine out when its raining and its definitely fine. It does have little places on the case for water to get in which is why I say its not good to put it in the water for a long time. Hope this helps. Love this case!

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

The case is water resistant but is not designed to be submerged. Protects from the occasional splash and rain shower but drop it in the sink and its game over.

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.

It's not designed for rain or moisture protection. It's designed for drop and ding protection. It likely does add a small amount of waterproofing due to the rubber port and jack protectors. If you plan to spend hours in the rain or minutes in a flash flood, I suspect this case would not be sufficient.

Sorry to say that the case is not waterproof or resistant by any means. Yes I have dropped it a few times in the rain accidentally because of my kids, and sustained no damage, but I quickly opened the case and phone to dry it out. For the price, it's a great case.

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

I would say water repellant. I don't know that it will withstand pounding rain but a little drizzle I think it would be fine.

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

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 appears to be water resistant bc the camera and speaker on back are exposed. I love the case but it was messing with my reception inside metal builds. Would sometime have no service at all to call or receive calls.

I'd say water resistant. I hunted out of it in a steady rain and maybe only a drop or two made it inside. There are tiny little pinholes around some of the seams. Not a major issue. I can't speak for a downpour, that may be a different story.

It is not waterproof. If you dropped it into water it would seep into the several open portals. You can verify this on the Otterbox site. I can say that most of the electronics are well concealed by the casing so I don't worry about light rain or a minor spill.

I have used it in light rain and my phone was fine, I'm not sure about a heavy downpour. I keep a zip lock bag in the compartment in just case I get caught in a deluge, I'm just not willing to risk it.

this case is not waterproof,however if you get caught in the rain it will provide enough protection to prevent major water damage to your phone.
