I understand it is waterproof. But is it submersible? Can I go snorkeling with my phone in this case?

I would not want to submerge this case and iPad mini. However, it is very water resistant, if it fell in a puddle of water or was rained on I would not be to worried about it.

It does have a zip-type waterproof section, so I think the phone would be safe, but the bag is a little bit large to use swimming, in my opinion.You can get Dry Pak cases that work much better for that. They have them in different sizes, and they are clear so you can actually use your phone (photos, etc) without taking it out of the Dry Pak.Short answer - yes, it will protect your phone, but it would be a bit clunky swimming with it.Tip - whatever you decide on - put one of those little desiccant packets in the bottom of the pouch to dry up any moisture that might get inside.

I would consider the case, water repellent. I wouldn't recommend submerging the case. It closes extremely tight, and it is plastic. I think it's the best I've ever had. Good Luck!

It cannot be submerged in water. But if water were to spill or drop(s) on it it should be fine. The microphone, speakers, earpiece and charger port are the only areas not protected, this case is designed more to protect from dropping

No the case is not waterproof. It has multiple opening leaving space for water to get inside

I have dropped in a wet location and it has done fine. I would not recommend submersing in water. I love my case, Highly recommend it.

No it's not waterproof but feel confident in the case. The S 5 phone itself is waterproof.

I think they consider it a water resistant case. I don't think you can submerge it under water, but it will protect it from most splashes or spills.

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

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.

No. I never attempted to put my phone in water with the case on (nor was I ever told that it was waterproof haha), but with all the uncovered areas I wouldn't think about doing it. Dust got on the screen and all around my phone so easily with that cover on, so it can be assumed water would do the same.

No, absolutely not waterproof. There microphone/speaker/camera holes in the back and edges that will let water into the phone. The screen of the phone is not protected by this case at all- you can buy clear screen protectors from another company- but the screen still will not be waterproof. Submerging a phone with this case on it under water will destroy the phone because water will get inside the phone.

it cant be trusted as a lifeproof case thats why its so cheap.. it more for accidental wetting .. but if you're like me and wanna go swimming with it and take under water pic/vids , dont .. i went to the beach with mines, came out the ocean and water soaked my phone in the case & now i have to get a new one..

The phone by itself will fit with no problem, but if you have it in a bulky protective case like the OtterBox it could get a little tricky getting it in and out of the pack. Although I found it to be completely waterproof when snorkeling, if you plan on going in the water with an expensive item like that, I'd suggest putting it in a ziplock bag first and then into the pack so you've got extra protection.

Definitely not waterproof. The armband slides inside the case, so the band itself makes direct contact with your phone. As the band gets wet so does your phone. I have already damaged and iPhone from this. I now wear a wrist/sweatband underneath. It is far from flawless (broken ring, sweat issues) but it's the best case I've used -- and I've used most of them. It's certainly affordable.

The case would be waterproof against a splash of water or rain when closed but it's not sealed so cannot submerge. Great ultra light case for when you just want the camera and don't want to carry case around.
